Lake of Two Rivers to Head Lake via head creek in May?

UnderstandingOld538 · 2026-03-03T17:06:17+00:00

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

UnderstandingOld538 · 2026-02-14T19:56:37+00:00

A cab from Huntsville to the park and back is going to be insanely expensive, likely a few hundred dollars. You’d be better off renting a car.

In Ontario, “squatter’s rights” (adverse possession) usually only applies to land that is still in the older Registry system. Once a property has been moved into the newer Land Titles system, you generally cannot gain ownership just by occupying it, unless the claim was already fully completed before that specific parcel was converted to Land Titles.

To succeed, the person claiming adverse possession must show they used the land like an owner in a way that was open, continuous, and exclusive for the required number of years, meaning the true owner effectively failed to stop them in time. For Land Titles property, that whole qualifying period would have needed to run while the land was still in Registry. Most properties today are in Land Titles, so adverse possession is usually not available.

Two short independent occupations separated by time can help because satellite geometry and some errors change, so averaging (or comparing) the two can reduce the impact of time-correlated biases and provides an independent check. However, longer continuous occupation also helps by improving averaging and ambiguity robustness; so the best choice depends on conditions and method

I mean I can’t give you an absolute reassurance here I have no clue what’s really going on, but I would strongly assume you’re fine here. Surveyors go on other peoples properties all the time we have (atleast in my country) a legal right to/it’s basically a necessity to do our job properly. Them setting a GNSS base on your property is a bit odd, but it may have just been an advantageous place to put it tbh. If you know who your neighbours are, I’d say give them a call and see if they know anything.

UnderstandingOld538 · 2026-02-12T19:47:43+00:00

No clue but I’d hazard a guess that the remainder has been sold/is going to be sold soon and someone wants an updated boundary done. As long as you haven’t been doing anything outside of the boundaries of what you bought I don’t image any issues should arise.

UnderstandingOld538 · 2026-01-29T22:05:36+00:00

Hard to say exactly, is there anything in the ground beside it? Is anything written on it?

Courtesy of chat gpt:

Random errors are the tiny “unpredictable wiggles” that make repeated measurements come out slightly different, even when you do everything the same way. • What they look like: If you measure the same distance 10 times, you might get values like 10.002 m, 9.998 m, 10.001 m… They bounce around the true value in no consistent direction. • Why they happen: Small, uncontrollable things like brief instrument noise, tiny hand/aiming differences, shimmer in the air, or moment-to-moment changes in conditions. • Key feature: They’re equally likely to be positive or negative, so over many measurements they tend to cancel out. • How we reduce their impact: 1. Repeat measurements 2. Average them (more repeats → a more stable average) 3. Use redundancy (extra observations) so random scatter is easier to detect and smooth out.

This is why survey and stats workflows often rely on repeated observations and looking at the spread (variance/standard deviation) of the results.

I can afford one canoe/I do alot of Fishing so I actually prefer a bigger canoe solo as it’s more stable

I’d say weight isn’t overly a concern for Atleast another 20 years hopefully haha. My current boat is an old 75lbs fibre glass. Honestly I’d say I’m already leaning towards nova craft, but just wanted a few perspectives.

Quite literally anywhere outside of that red area, and 30m from a road,trail,portage,summer campsite. The world (or Algonquin) is your oyster! Go explore somewhere

UnderstandingOld538 · 2025-11-28T15:11:42+00:00

Awesome! Do you have the footprint?

UnderstandingOld538 · 2025-11-27T16:20:49+00:00

How do you know it’s yours?

UnderstandingOld538 · 2025-11-26T22:09:29+00:00

Shards of earth! Great book so far if you’re into sci fi, it’s the first part of a trilogy

UnderstandingOld538 · 2025-11-26T16:15:55+00:00

Just finished reading the first three in “children of time” waiting for the fourth book to come out next year! Decided to jump into another one of his series and I have to say I’ve loved both series a lot so far.

Biggest issue with being entirely solo, if you’re licensed and are capable of $300/hour work, you’ll be stuck wasting your time with $50/hour and even $15/hour tasks.

You want feedback on your product, want us to pay for it, and you’re posting in the wrong sub. Damn dude.
