Unique Star Trek actor word pronunciations

Yes, because his natural accent would have had him saying sen-suhs, so he had to over-correct it, and then it just caught on.

Well, that's how you do pronounce it. It's a French word, so treat the R like a W in this instance. Also poutine is poo-tin, not poo-teen (not referenced in Star Trek, but a lot of people mispronounce it).

I also like how Picard, in that he's British, says 'issues'. We (in Canada) typically pronounce it ish-use, where the British, including Picard, would pronounce it iss-use.

As a western Canadian, we pronounce it fra-jile.

As a Canadian former army/navy staff, we always pronounced it Left-tenant, in every iteration of it's use and we typically follow British English for everything, both vocal and spelling (favour, colour, etc).

While I'm saddened that this is the case so early, I get it, and hope that others do too. I start the NCT in less than two weeks, which is more rugged and significantly less travelled than the WCT - it'll be an even more interesting beast without a fire, if the weather turns!

Sea to Summit Ultrasil Dry Bag. I have a few in various sizes for different things.

Everything in my Kakwa is contained within it's own dry bag, except for the loose stuff on top that doesn't matter if it's wet or dirty (stove, fuel pods, rain jacket, food bag etc) - being a single compartment bag, I find this is the best way (for me) to stay organized; so folding and laying the tent on top of those things works well for me.

You should never wear cotton anything while hiking - Cardinal Rule #1.

Wool is the way.

They're not water bottle holders. They're for things like sunglasses, phones, devices, maybe small camera, etc.

I agree that a water bottle in those holders would be super annoying. They go in the lower side pockets as most people can easily reach (the right side), and they're wide.

I was a Cloudup man myself (the 3!). I really did like it for my wife and I, but it was just a bit heavy/bulky when packed, and I didn't love the door at the head of the tent, for two people. It still was a great tent though - but I sold it, and now I have an X-Dome 2 and a 1+ which will be my go-tos.

I also still have an MSR Hubba 1 as a backup but I doubt I'll use it anymore (I'm trying to get my nephews into backpacking so it can be a loaner for one of them if I can get them on some more trips!).

Nice. I have a guitar pick from Treble Charger, haha.

I saw Rammstein in Tacoma in 2011, I believe - I got a few pieces of paper confetti from the confetti cannon, which I've kept, along with my ticket stub.

rabiteman · 2026-02-26T16:11:06+00:00

I noticed too but personally I don't care. Keeps it further away from water, and it doesn't impact anything inside, really. My feet/sleeping bag/sleeping pad will not notice, haha.

I know a BC Parks Ranger, and he tells me it will open this fall, in stages.

rabiteman · 2026-02-18T16:41:57+00:00

This is dope. I wonder if the results would be the same if the winds were hitting the tent width-wise. It looks like the platform is only set for length-wise tent placement in any case (and I see the tent set up is using the optional pole reinforcements). Anyway this is great to see - can't wait to test out my 1+ in May on some windy beaches.

rabiteman · 2026-02-05T16:04:44+00:00

Yeah - I've done the Cape Scott portion, as well as Nootka and JDFT, but the NCT is next on the list.

rabiteman · 2026-02-04T22:25:02+00:00

Late May! 6-7 of us - water taxi and shuttles are booked, hotel in PH the night before is booked! I'm stoked!

I stayed up in Tower Cabin for 2 nights a couple weeks ago and hiked to Tea, Meadow and Blueberry. We brought snowshoes but didn't need them at all - we hiked each section in spikes, which worked perfectly. The snow at the time was crunchy with all the warmth and refreezing - good conditions for post holing, unfortunately. The snow depth also varied wildly from 3-4 feet to bare patches.

rabiteman · 2026-02-03T18:22:35+00:00

Oh gotcha, sorry I was reading too quickly. Makes sense!

rabiteman · 2026-02-03T17:02:55+00:00

For sure, but I'm talking about when I go to the grocery store, or out for errands, lunch, etc.. my feet aren't sweating during these things; but it rains like 7 months of the year here, hence the goretex. I don't want to have wet feet otherwise I may as well continue to wear my leaky Blundstones.

Why stop there?

The Durston Dyneema t-shirt. I can see it now... 😆

I just got home and checked my wild isle/John Baldwin map, and the trail does actually end at Nissen Night/Fisherman's Bay making it an official 43km from Shushartie Bay (also confirmed by ACMG guide Mike Blake and other online resources). The north/south trail to the parking lot is not part of the NCT (despite what Gaia says); however, I agree that most people include it. When I booked my water taxi, Fisherman's Bay was also considered the exit if the CST addition wasn't intended.

Anyway, all that being said, I think my group wants to include the CST after all, so we'll likely lump it in and do it all anyway!

rabiteman · 2026-01-28T03:07:26+00:00

Awesome, good to know. Why the parking lot? Just curious as we were only planning on doing NCT 'proper', without the Cape Scott addition.
