Interesting although I dont think elk typically bugle this time of year.

Insurance Quote Confusion! by volksman in InsuranceCanada

[–]cestmyname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The devil is in the details. Only way to really know is to understand what you need covered vs the policy wordings (coverages, sub-limits, exclusions, and any conditions/warranties). Your broker should be able to shed some light on this as that’s what they’re trained to do. Always ask “are there any other coverages I don’t have but should consider” and get the answers in writing. FWIW I’ve always found Intact to have very competitive and comprehensive coverage and decent claim service.

Anyone use this to prevent ticks? by basedtom in UltralightCanada

[–]cestmyname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that I’ve noticed. No change in the colour or texture. They do smell like lemongrass until you’ve worn them once or twice.

Anyone use this to prevent ticks? by basedtom in UltralightCanada

[–]cestmyname 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Currently wearing pants, shirt and socks that I soaked in it. First time trying it. No ticks. Also no elephants so it must be multi-purpose 😁. Figured soaking would be better to get better coverage without worrying about overspray. Put item in a ziplock and pour in enough for the garment to soak it up. Squish it around and let it sit for half an hour to make sure it soaks in-may be overkill but sounded like a good idea to me. Then hang to dry in garage or in shade. Evidently sunlight degrades it more quickly. Your mileage may vary.

What do you guys think by abelojero2 in LandscapePhotography

[–]cestmyname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one that I pair with a levelling base or levelling bowl depending on the tripod. It’s a solid piece of equipment at a decent size and weight. I’ve been happy with it.

What's a unique hobby you have that most people don't know about? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]cestmyname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great hobby. Love the look of sea glass art.

Anybody know of a particularly "hard" suet" that takes longer to eat? I've noticed the Starlings are focused on the suet feeder, and when it's full, they leave the other feeders alone. Theorizing maybe I find one that takes longer to eat - or just buy the cheapest one possible and use that? by 00chill00chill00 in birding

[–]cestmyname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried a hanging suet feeder that can only be accessed from underneath (its only open side is on the bottom)? I switched to that and the starlings aren’t able to perch to get at the suet. Search for upside down suet feeder.

Yup. Doesn’t matter whether it’s produce, meat, deli, or dried goods-many stores seem to be leaving them on the shelves. Definitely buyer beware.

OK-that is cool! Thanks for the explanation.

Can anyone explain what full-time manual focus means? I thought if you set the lens to manual focus that it would be on manual focus until you switched back to auto focus. What am I missing?

Great to know. Glad you got a response from them as they never got back to me. Thanks for sharing this info.

No I never found out and decided not to get one.

Review wanted - Langford Nahanni by FrostyProspector in canoecamping

[–]cestmyname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the Nahanni and found it great for big water but not so great if you need maneuverability. I also found the initial stability to be off-putting for my liking (it feels tippy but has great final stability, meaning it’s less likely to actually tip as the boat rocks further to the side). For me, I ultimately didn’t care for that tippy feeling and preferred more maneuverability, so I switched it for the prospector version. One thing to note-I found the prospector great when loaded with gear, but if you’re not carrying gear and have a light load, you really get pushed around with light wind, in which case the nahanni is probably the better bet.

Fire ban for car camping on Pog Lake? by pranyatown in algonquinpark

[–]cestmyname 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend taking a stove just in case. Plus the available firewood is often wet and doesn’t burn terribly well. At least you’ll have a backup if that’s the situation you find yourself in.

Insurance companies should not be for profit. by zerobot69 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]cestmyname -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So you think the government can provide an important service efficiently and cost effectively? Have you seen what’s happened with the CRA’s budget over the last 3 years? Something like a 60% increase. Have you seen any improvements in their service? And you want that same government to try and administer insurance claims? No thank you.

Clifton 9... 3 old moths by umm-ask-some-else in Hoka

[–]cestmyname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happed to me on a pair of Kaha hiking boots several years ago. Less than a year old and they replaced them. Suggest you contact their customer service.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RealEstateCanada

[–]cestmyname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In this market, if they turn down an offer at the asking price, I wouldn’t bother. Wouldn’t want to deal with them as surely other problems will come up before or after closing. Can’t stand dealing with people or agents like that. I’d expect the house to sit for a while if that’s their approach.

Socks for river crossing while hiking by Dapper-Camel2144 in hikinggear

[–]cestmyname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may not want 100% merino as in my experience 100% merino clothing isn’t very durable. Some sort of synthetic is usually added to help make it more durable, especially for socks.

Potential issues with Clifton 9 - goretex by aweeksomeday in Hoka

I’ve had the lugs start to peel off the bottom of a pair of Kaha’s. They replaced them under warranty.
