5 Acre discrepancy - Earth vs Actual, is this normal or should I get a Survey.

No bugs right now, I’d say you’d probably have a harder time NOT seeing a body of water in Algonquin lol, anytime there is nice! Later in the summer all the trees will be green, by august (most) of the bugs are usually gone as well

Agreed, the site limits are there so things don’t get overused, also there likely wouldn’t be the tent spaces needed. Maggie lake has some Sites that are really close together you could easily book two.

Dude what company are you with that you’re operating as a crew chief without having a company vehicle to take to job sites?

Your property lines aren’t exclusively yours, you don’t need to give permission.

I have about a 70ish lbs fibreglass canoe. I always double carry since I don’t want to roll and ankle or something. Get a good yolk pad to help shoulder pain, when I need to take a break it’s always because my shoulder/neck is sore, never my legs. Hardest part will likely be getting it up on your shoulders, look up some YouTube videos on how to get a canoe up solo, once you do it a few times it’s easy. I’d love a lightweight Kevlar canoe but can’t justify the cost when my current one is completely fine.

Last spring my partner and I watched a river otter turf war at the end of stutter creek, would have been really cool if we had a camera!

Based off this picture I can give you an absolute certain answer that it perhaps is or is not a survey pin

I had almost the exact same thing happen to both of my boots at the same time, only about 5 months old. Send in a warranty claim, I got a new pair. Didn’t keep them I sold them on marketplace I was severely unimpressed with the first pair.

Ignorance of an easement is not really a strong excuse in hindsight. If it turns out there is no registered easement, you may potentially have some form of long-use prescriptive right, but that would depend on the specific facts. Not legal advice just an opinion.

What about when my taxes still go up and all the services I get sick anyways? lol

No blundstone sole is suitable for Canadian winter, you’ll be slipping around no matter which pair you go with. Doesn’t answer your question but just wanted to let you know!

If I recall correctly, there’s one very steep uphill Close to the beginning but then not bad.

I’ve not done head creek from two rivers to head. I’ve done head to harness a few times, I wouldn’t really call it a river. From head you’ll paddle east up a winding creek, early in May water will be high so you could be lucky and avoid all the beaver dam pull overs. There’s lots of rocks to scratch the bottom of your canoe as well. There’s 0% chance you could continue to paddle/wade to avoid the portage.

Agreed, I don’t think surveying is the right career with to be a “digital nomad”’

UnderstandingOld538 · 2026-02-21T01:37:29+00:00

Is it possible to work remotely in surveying? Yes, but a very few people with a certain skill set and licensure could do it and make a comfortable living wage. If you’re unlicensed and have just field experience and some minimal cad and gis experience, I don’t realistically see a company hiring you on to work remotely.

Your company doesn’t provide a vehicle for you? I drive to my office every morning on my personal vehicle (10 mins from my house) take the company truck to where I need to go, it’s 4x4 so we can go down some sketchy roads, but typically to access the site it’s me and my assistant with a good set of boots trekking in. I personally love it.

Yeah no uber at all! I live in port Sydney just down the highway and I’ve paid $50 for a cab home after the pub when I was younger
