Heading Across Canada on Foot

[Aurelius95]

Well, hey look at this. I just pulled a gut feeling out of my azz. This is gonna work! Now there's more room for my head.

My first laugh of the day. Thanks Rick!

[Rick]

My pleasure. Always willing to oblige.

[nell67]

It's strange how things work sometimes. I don't know you or your friend but I have to relate this too you. Waaayy back in the day when I was 19 I was in Job Corps. Somebody started up an Explorer post and I joined up so I could go camping. I enjoyed the 1st outing so much that I talked a guy into going with me that I got along with really well. However, when we were out in the woods he was the worst camping partner ever! This sort of thing can make or break a friendship. The great, prolific, Western writer; Louis L'Amour, used a term that I think fits regarding camping/traveling partners that I like to use: "One to ride the river with." That says it all.

Keep your adventurous spirit alive! Don't give up on this idea, because it is a once in a life-time opportunity.

My big dream is to bike from Alaska to the tip of Argentina. I have calculated it will take about 2 years. I slowly work away at having enough finances and freedom to do just that. The sky is the limit, let your imagination wander. I'll be following your progress

I just watched a movie last week called "The Oil and Water Project" about these two guys in their early 20's that drove from Northern Alaska to Southern Argentina in this old mini-firetruck that they had converted to run on any type of natural oil ,and they whitewater kayaked all these beautiful Class 5 rivers they passed all the way down. It was a great documentary.

They ran their little truck on everything from Salmon Oil, to Corn Oil...it was cool they had this vegtable oil seed press in the back of the truck, and they could be processing organic materials into fuel as they drove. THey drove over 16,000 miles without buying any petroleum. It was a great fun, light hearted movie about a couple of young guys achieving their dreams. visit their website http://nrpw.com/old.html

yeah i know itll be a test of how well me and him get together thats why were doing the week in the highlands if that dont work out then its either see whats gotta change between me and him or im going solo

[trax]

OK, just one more thing. If you head out from Nova Scotia, and after about 10 or 15 minutes of walking you're in water up to your neck...you went the wrong way, that's the Atlantic...turn around soon...

(Obviously the words of a man who should have gone back to just staring out the window....)

You may want to check this site as it is about two guys who walked across Canada. Includes a journal, some route details etc.

WalkCanada.com

As far as equipment check out BushBuddy.ca for a really lightweight and practical stove.

All the best in your venture.

Cheers

Welcome, niagara. Why not walk over to the Introductions section and tell us a little about yourself?

I'm amazed...you didn't ask him to "fall by" the intro section with a name like niagara? You're slipping Rick....

[crashdive123]

...or spill on over...

[Rick]

Hey! I'm sick. Leave me alone. I've got some stupid virus thing that's going around. You keep bugging me and I'll sneeze on you!

[Ken]

Sweat that virus out. Heat up a cup of warm milk with a load of sliced garlic. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Strain into a cup with sugar and a pat of butter. Stir and drink hot . You'll feel great in the morning, and nobody will catch it from you 'cause they won't get close enough. Really does work, though.

[trax]

Great recipe, works even better if you stir in a couple ounces of whiskey.

[crashdive123]

I've tried something similar that works real well. Mine didn't have the milk, garlic, sugar of butter though.

Yes, I use that recipe as well, I don't think it really does anything to the virus, but you don't care anymore. Actually, the virus is probably in as good a mood as you are....

This is another tried and true prescription from the unlimited resources of the Appalachian Good For What Ails You book. Take a great big onion and bake it. Nothing else, just the onion. Eat the onion, go to bed and don't breathe on anybody. You have my guarantee on that, with my hand in the air.

[skunkkiller]
