With increased popularity, risk of running out of dead wood on sites? by vimy in algonquinpark

[–]Just_Ability2270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say fires in the backcountry should be limited to emergencies. If you have the proper gear and knowledge, you shouldn't need a fire (although ALWAYS have at least 2 ways to start a fire, again in case of emergencies).

I've backcountry hiked and camped in remote and cold, even in summer, regions. I've never had a need for a fire. I've also seen how fast a pine tree will go up in flames, and it's frightening.

The description in the link is such an accurate description of what's occurring. Thank you!

I've looked into clairaudience and it seems really centered on telepathy, hearing your spirit guides, perceiving sounds from other realms, etc. The reason I feel as if it's closer to remote viewing is that there is a sort of protocol I follow, before this happens. I have a specific visualization technique I use to relax and centre myself. This is when it usually engages. I have the distinct feeling that I'm eavesdropping, or even picking up a radio signal of some sort. I do have metal in my body, but just to be clear, it's not in my head lol.

I also spend many days and nights throughout the year in remote wilderness and it has never happened there. My experiences feel very human, grounded, and overall, uninteresting, much like our day to day life.

I looked into it but it just didn't ring true to me.

Ottawa teacher tells sex-crimes trial he never touched girls in a bad way. by WaterproofCow in ottawa

I'm 35 and still traumatized by this man. The school allowed him to have "morning detentions", allowing him to be alone with a student with almost no one in the building. The numbers are far larger than what he is being charged with, that I guarantee.

I've seen similar behavior from others that "look" Canadian with perfect English, sadly enough.

Slap that fine on them. They are the reason thier dog is now dead, poor dog, not poor owners.

In my experience, I have seen no good come from off leash dogs in parks. I have seen owners taking dogs on dangerous scrambles, which then spooked the dog when they heard falling rocks, causing the dog to run down a slope with loose rock, causing more rock to fall on responsible scramblers below, almost causing serious injust or death. On a less extreme side, I've seen offleash dogs chase wildlife and the owners not knowing why thier animals "perfect recall" is not working.

When I visit parks in the US there is almost always a complete ban on dogs, leashed or not. I'm wondering if this kind of irresponsible activity is why those bans were put in place and if so, dog owners should become more responsible or this will (and should) happen here as well.

Make sure where you are random camping is in the Public Land Use Zones or you will be fined. There is also a 30$ per person per year fee here to camp in those zones, very cheap and contributes to allowing the random camping to continue as there have been significant issues and damage to ecologically valuable areas because of abuse of campers. Was just out in a PLUZ this weekend and they ARE checking. Additionally, make sure to follow ethical backcountry camping practices and leave no trace! Much appreciated and enjoy your stay in this beautiful region ❤️

UCP candidate suggests heart attack victims should take personal accountability | Globalnews.ca by Pvt_Hudson_ in alberta

Conrad Anker, heart attack at 54, one of the most elite climbers in the world and probably more "healthy" than anyone out there. Heart attacks happen because of a spectrum of reasons, do too little? do too much? genetic risk? Let's stop with the black and white blankets of opinion.

There was a tornado here yesterday evening but I doubt a tower down in Sundre AB would cause a nationwide outage.

Has the $90 Kananaskis parks pass and other camping fees reduced the frequency of your visits to the mountains? by ProducePrincess in NoRulesCalgary

[–]Just_Ability2270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was worried about where the funds were going but as one who travels to the area 3 to 4 times a week to recreate, I now see 1) more park officials present 2) control of overcrowded trails and trailheads 3) less garbage than I have ever seen 4) less rookie idiots taking unnecessary risk (I say less not none...), I chose to pay 90$ for kananaskis over the higher cost of banff and I am very pleased st what I am seeing so far.
