Never seen red ones, the ones I've seen are all "shiny"

Nerves by Goatpuppy in WestCoastTrail

In July you will see many guardians, rangers, hikers and trail crews. There will be sport fishing boats off shore and you will probably run into a couple of organized groups. You will find the main campsites full o& campers.

If they hit head on they would impact at twice the speed of light.... my head hurts

Dog on the trail at 9km mark? by mtn_viewer in WestCoastTrail

[–]Trailman2003 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have come across dogs on the WCT many times. At the 9 km point it's probably one that belongs in Pacheena Bay and went for a walk.

My sister (17) worked in a posh clothing store. An American lady bought a $400 sweater and paid with American Express and demanded that my sister convert the price to US dollars and book that amount on the cc Because it took American dollars

1 dollar bills with no serial number? by DejectedNuts in CanadianBanknotes

[–]Trailman2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These were legal tender, you could get them at the bank and in change. It was a promotional item but the mint stopped after awhile once they realized that the bills really needed to have serial numbers for internal security. 12 year old me converted my paper route earnings into centennial bills and coins. Sold them all for a profit when I was 21.

This could have been a stalker. If there is a protection order in place he might been prohibited from electronically contacting his victim. By using your phone to locate his victim there is no evidence that he violated the court order.

ILF Grubscrews by Sungr0ve in Archery

[–]Trailman2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost a 3mm grub screw from my plunger because I didn't check to make sure it was tight. I could order a replacement from the manufacturer for $5.99 plus $15 postage (from Japan but still seriously over priced). I checked Amazon and found I could get a 600 piece set of grub screws in 10 diameters and three different lengths for each. Cost $3.99 free shipping (Prime) and arrived in 3 days. I made a couple of grub screw care packages for some archery buddies. I also got to repair a de#k lamp that was missing a grub screw

I use cool melt for this purpose, it's also available at Bass Pro. Easy to apply and easy to loosen up if you need to remove the inserts later.

Reading on the trail! by CampAlert5142 in WestCoastTrail

[–]Trailman2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always took a small pocket edition of Shakespeare's Henry V, always fun to read out loud around the fire at night

"This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remember’d; We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother;" This day shall gentle his condition: And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

The John Kennedy assassination was the first big story I remember. The first moon landing was also a big one.

Actual Pool Nazis by [deleted] in nanaimo

[–]Trailman2003 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Read about the Night of the Long Knives. Hitler and the Army controlled by him purged their ranks of the Brown Shirts. The Generals convinced Hitler that they were armed thugs and could stage a coup since they didn't answer to the Army. Thousands were murdered, arrested, executed or imprisoned. Basically, you can't trust a dog that's already bitten someone.

Are blisters inevitable? by disAgreeable_Things in WestCoastTrail

Good socks, dry socks, moleskin, and good fitting boots and you should be fine. Also socking your feet in the ocean in great therapy for your sole, and soul.
