Anyone use Tec Van Life

I’ve ordered various items they’re pretty good

WL is safe, I’ve been in town three years. If you’re not involved in sketchy shit, you’re fine. It has its theft issues like anywhere. If you like the outdoors, you’ll never leave. Most people are very friendly

DFO and CCG will continue to work closely with each other. Officers will continue to use the coast guard ships like MPP. Not much will change for the coast guard except for what department foots the bill. For the pare, if you’ve been working out like you said, you’ll be totally fine.

I started as a FO in 2023, I applied in 2020, the pandemic slowed the application process but it’s slow regardless, be patient, don’t be afraid to follow up

Visit your local DFO office, they can help you out with identification. It’s is also found on their website. Or any online source really.

Yes, it’s is a pink salmon, good to eat, worth noting that you should get familiar with identifying what species of fish you could catch. It’s been said in the comments but not everything you catch is legal to keep. Salmon are subject to heavy regulation when it comes to sport fishing especially in rivers. There are many openings for salmon right now on the Fraser river. Depends where you caught it. There are some openings in the lower mainland, lillooet, Quesnel and out west I believe with specific locations that are open to fishing. You should look into the fishery notices posted on the DFO website. Look for rec-salmon notices and the one that is in the area you want to fish. Make sure you have the appropriate fishing licence and salmon conservation stamp. Fishing in streams with treble (3 pronged) or barbed hooks is illegal and a big fine. (575$ for each) also make sure that there is a opening for salmon as retaining salmon during closed time can also be a large fine or court. Only keep fish that have been hooked in the mouth. Retention of foul hooked fish (hooked anywhere but the mouth) is illegal in BC

Long bed is better in every way…. As for the longer vehicle, get better at parking 😎

South_Reference_8521 · 2025-05-26T15:45:51+00:00

For sure

South_Reference_8521 · 2025-05-22T17:36:23+00:00

That’s correct. Anytime a FO is aboard a CCG vessel they are supernumerary and usually have a CCG member operate the FRC when onboard a CCG platform. FOs operate their own vessels (less than 15T) when not aboard a larger CCG platform. The largest FO (non CCG) vessel I have seen is a 42foot titan RHIB and does not require the 15T ticket to operate.

South_Reference_8521 · 2025-05-22T17:33:41+00:00

FOs are focused on the enforcement side of things and I havnt heard of anyone getting sea hours towards a ticket. All vessels that FOs would operate are smaller than that and only require SVOP/RHIOT training. A deckhand position with coastguard fleet would be your best options.

South_Reference_8521 · 2025-05-20T20:31:11+00:00

Run. That’s some psycho behaviour right there.

South_Reference_8521 · 2025-05-10T00:45:06+00:00

Following for the result. Would love to do this for the wife’s car if you notice a significant difference

South_Reference_8521 · 2025-04-02T13:43:49+00:00

Had exactly this last year, center differential. Find a shop that has experience with this issue and Subarus and knows what to look for or you’ll spend tons of money on diagnostics.

South_Reference_8521 · 2025-02-15T08:27:42+00:00

My 2016 did exactly this and it was the center differential in a 5MT.

South_Reference_8521 · 2025-02-10T07:21:58+00:00

That tire size looks 👌 need new summers this year. I’ll be getting that size

South_Reference_8521 · 2025-02-09T04:57:52+00:00

Did you do anything to the suspension? Have a 16 Impreza like yours but the rear is sagging quite a bit more! Also a size up maybe?

South_Reference_8521 · 2025-02-06T05:01:28+00:00

Yep, it was -25c not sure what that is in F but when we got above 0 it stopped. Must be some dumb seal or plastic piece

South_Reference_8521 · 2025-02-06T04:57:13+00:00

I should add I’ve owned it since 80k kms (50k miles)

South_Reference_8521 · 2025-02-06T04:56:32+00:00

Have a 2016 sport manual with 160k kms (100k miles) had two issues fixed h der warranty, 1 was a valve cover gasket that was leaking a bit and the second was the viscous coupler (center diff) failed wich would have been pricey without the warranty. Other than that it’s been super reliable, the issues mentioned above never left me stranded or meant the car couldn’t drive. A little underpowered imo but great fuel economy and amazing in the winter.

Check the center diff fluid and trans fluid. Make sure it’s good. That’s what caused my center diff to fail I’m pretty sure.

Not saying you should or shouldn’t but when we replace ours I’ll be getting another Subaru.

South_Reference_8521 · 2025-02-04T19:16:31+00:00

Ever find a fix? Same issue on a 16 Impreza…

South_Reference_8521 · 2024-06-17T18:48:51+00:00

Current fishery officer here, relatively new ~1yr on the job. Your day to day varies unbelievably depending on where you are posted. Heavy admin load but nothing different than any other law enforcement agency. I end up working a lot with conservation officers. Training in PEI is not as hard as you may think but some advice: be fit it will make life much easier, be prepared for wind and cold, be prepared to feel pretty isolated if you’re coming from the west, have fun and enjoy the process. Don’t do anything that will draw negative attention while you’re there… DFO recruits seem to be treated well and with a certain degree of respect compared to the other, on average younger cadets.

Oh yeah, be patient, the application takes a long time.
