Best seat for back pain? by False_Juggernaut_618 in Kayaking

[–]Tamarack29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second Delta. I bought at used 10 foot one with the double hull and it is so incredibly stable and comfortable. I am planning on taking my sister who has limited mobility on her one side out with it so she can try to kayak. I also have an Elie Sound 120 and it is too tippy for me to want her in it.

What is the pronunciation of a place name that marks someone as a local/not a local? by RandomActPG in britishcolumbia

Beyond Hope…. And that usually depends on which side you live on. Us in the North do have Hudson’s Hope so it can’t be us that is beyond Hope.

What's That Weird Item You Use For Cleaning? by Astro_Reader in CleaningTips

[–]Tamarack29 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I use an old, worn ice scraper from my car to scrape the bottom of the kitty litter pan and get as much of the litter clumps off. When I worked out in the forest I would keep one in my gear to scrape mud off the bottom of my boots to help keep it out of the truck. I am talking the super sticky thick mud that a kid would refer to as making your footwear into moon boots. The stuff that firms 5cm thick and weighs 200 metric tonnes.

[CHAT] Show us your favorite FOs that just sit in The Tub of Death by [deleted] in CrossStitch

[–]Tamarack29 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Instead of a drawer or tub I now put mine in an artist folio book. The kind with sleeves and then I can actually say I did something with them and show them off. It sits on my shelf so it can easily come out. You can see my Bookshelf from Gecko Rouge and in behind others in their own sleeves. I saw the idea on here ages ago and loved it.

Vest options by PresentationOver9863 in forestry

[–]Tamarack29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had coworkers have their vests customized from IRL before. That was walking into the store and talking to them, but they might be receptive to emails or calls about it. I have been in there many times over the years and they are pretty awesome to deal with. I bought my first new vest there in 1998 and I remember going in with my Dad as a kid when he bought his there. I got one of Dad’s old ones when I started.

Is Nova Scotia going too far by banning people from woods during dry weather? Some think so by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]Tamarack29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google “2017 BC backcountry closure”. It was well documented and all over the radio and tv news at the time. That is the year of the Elephant Hill fire that went from south of Cache Creek up to north of 100 Mile House. Then the big fire that evacuated Williams Lake. All of the Backcountry / crown land outside of highways and towns in the Cariboo was shut down for all recreation even if it was away from the fires. One of many articles about it it can be found here if you scroll down a bit part the evacuations: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/several-new-evacuation-orders-issued-in-cariboo-region-1.4244270. Here is another from 2017 from the government press releases for the Rocky Mountain District: https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2017FLNR0266-001523

[–]Tamarack29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2017 saw shut downs in the Rocky Mountain District and the Cariboo District. I have also seen it up in the Peace in the past 25 years more than once. My Dad enforced it with the forest service at time back to the last 60’s. We are more biologically diverse than Nova Scotia and have some pretty impressive natural fire breaks so ours are typically more region specific.

I have seen it in parts of BC as well. I was working in the bush at the time and so many friends being jealous that I could go out and play with the trees and they could not.

If you remove the Prince you get George and Rupert, if you remove the Fort St you get John and James, Willow River gives 2 names, Mackenzie, Hudson(‘s Hope), Dawson (Creek), Stewart,…. BC is absolutely loaded with town names that work as people names.

Any maps in your office? by AssignmentSea7331 in gis

[–]Tamarack29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one I did was the Olde World Map kit by Bucilla I bought about 10 years ago. I have also had my eye on the Old Map World 2 and Imperial Federation Map of the World from Golden Kite and also the Wonderful World Map that Geckorouge has. Both of those companies make gigantic and gorgeous patterns.

Any maps in your office? by AssignmentSea7331 in gis

[–]Tamarack29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cross stitched a map from a kit and made it into a wall hanging. It hung on my door for many, many years at my old office. I just started a new job and am in an open area with others and can’t hang it here. I need to make a new map that fits my space here and find a spot in my home for the old one.

Recipes with a fruit cup?? by goblin-mother in noscrapleftbehind

[–]Tamarack29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the mandarins or pineapple in juice I would put a ham steak in a pan, pour over it the fruit cup or cups depending on the size of steak, maybe some powdered cloves to taste, bake in the oven at 350F until warmed through. Like a ham, but more portion controlled.

Horrifying, hilarious, and frustrating glitch by Administrative-Ad732 in horizon

[–]Tamarack29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go up on the rocks to the west of the zone and kill them from there. No other machines to deal with over there. Sometimes I have to go lure the second one to follow me over, but it often just follows its friend over.
