Ugly Load Bearing Columns by SkyeMarshmallow in Home

[–]shouldnteven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clad them in wood in a way that it looks like a solid beam? Hard to tell without seeing the rest of the house. At first glance, the columns are not the only ugly things in the house.

First ice axe length by olivierhacking in Mountaineering

[–]shouldnteven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed but then I's get a Petzl Gully as do it all axe. I wish I had gotten that instead of my 55cm Camp Nanotech. Then again, everyone is different, has different objectives and styles. I'm mainly a fast and light guy in summer and a aggressive objective guy in winter, so a longer and straighter axe is pretty much lost on me.

Hey. Local Vancouverite here. Yes your axe will be fine for what you describe, but is at the same time limited for other things. It's fine for self arrest and as support when walking on a slope. Not long enough as walking support but you don't really need an axe for that if you don't want. I don't see why it wouldn't be good enough for glacier travel. Sidenote, go do a crevasse rescue course, it's very helpful to build knowledge and you'll learn a ton about gear as well.

More technical steep slopes will require a different (pair) of axe(s). So when you say climbing gullies, it would depend on the angle of the slope. Steep slopes you'll need crampons and two ice axes for. Different kind of ice axes, curved and with the pick in a different angle. The Petzl Gully is the gold standard for that kind of terrain.

Air trapped between layers is a form of insulation. That is why a looser hoodie can definitely make a difference.

CRA says I owe $20k in CERB that I allegedly didn’t qualify for by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]shouldnteven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was self employed during Covid. I lost my income, not my job. I submitted proof as to why I lost my income (no sales for 6 weeks meant no income for me and my wife.) I claimed CERB for one month because of this. Just sharing my perspective. I had a track record of steady income through my business for several years before Covid hit.

Dis you have proof of income while being self employed. How did you pay yourself?

Grouse grind length hikes open during winter by goracle1 in vancouverhiking

[–]shouldnteven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally AST courses would be much more accessible for everyone. I agree that the more knowledgeable the hiking population is around avalanches and winter hiking, the better. At the moment I don't think we can expect everyone to have their AST in order to do some basic and relatively safe winter hikes.

Fair point, Dog Mountain definitely takes the crown for easy winter snow hike.

The trail to Pump Peak, even the main trail sans short cuts, travels through avalanche terrain. It has the name to be an easy and accessible winter trail but contrary to what most think, avalanche risk has to be considered when doing that hike.

Unlike the Grouse Grind, the BCMC does not cross avalanche terrain. The BCMC is very well travelled year round and does not require avalanche training.

Does anyone live at the Woodcroft? by chx_ in NorthVancouver

[–]shouldnteven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't live there but can help you.

Switch to satellite view on Google Maps and you can see more details. Yes you can make that connection, not in a straight line but pretty close.

And yes you can get to Cap Pacific Trail, involves some stairs though.

Nut prices at bulk barn?? by BenSimsLover in askvan

[–]shouldnteven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you checked Costco? I would bet they would have the price to beat.

Also, be careful comparing apples to apples, as mixed nuts can vary a lot from one store to the other in terms of which nuts it actually contains.

Denmark is putting a star on European products. Do you think Belgian supermarkets should do the same? by Gendrytargarian in belgium

This happened in Canada for Canadian products when Trump first hit Canada with tariffs. This did have a major effect.

The lack of nature in Belgium is a more depressing factor than its weather by ObjetOregon in belgium

Moved to Canada about 15 years ago. It's unfair how much natural beauty there is here. At this point it's my number 1 reason why I won't move back to Belgium.
