    Well guys, to my knowledge, it happened. That is as far as I know. I don't know the details, and I agree they are sort of sketchy, but (once again) to my knowledge, its all true. The details I think are not 100% true, not sure if its even 4 days. What I am pretty sure of, is that he got lost and had to spend a night out in the wilderness. Once again, not 100% sure, but I think he isn't lying.

    I didn't think he was lying, Flanders. But, at the same time, I'm not sure the entire truth was being delivered.

    I'm happy to cut him a break. I WANT to. Nothing would delight me more than to help him. The only think I've ever asked is that he do some investigation on his own (search the threads) and then ask questions if he doesn't understand something in a thread.

    I will say that after researching Colonsay it is a real small town so Ryleyboy is looking for help form others.
    Colonsay is a community of people offering a variety of services and activities, located 35 minuts east of Saskatoon on the Yellowhead Highway.
    Colonsay derived its name from a small island in the Herbrides off the west coast of Scotland. Colonsay is fortunate to have a unique group of residents from farmers, miners, professionals, trades persons and retirees, all of diverse cultures and backgrounds. The population in 2006 was only 425 so his help in some areas of wilderness learning might be limited.
    Ryleyboy ask whatever you want I'll try to help you, but don't get offended by
    others here, you gotta be thick skinned here as well as in the wilderness. I don't
    think your liar, I don't anyone here does, we need specifics when asking questions.

    Ryleyboy, a lot of this might have been avoided had you gone over to the introduction area and told us about yourself, and had listened to those who kept telling you to use the search. Most of us here would be glad to help you, as long as you're willing to listen and read.

    Is everybody good now? I guess nobody was ever mad but you get it. Now back to saskatchewan survival. I personally would classify saskatchewan north woods as "boreal forest" Full of coniferous trees. Would that be an acurate classification or no?

    yeah flanders, boreal actually means pertaining to north or northern so I'd say go ahead and classify Saskatchewan's forests that way. The areas you and ryley have been describing are very similar to where I grew up in Manitoba btw, just rockier where I was because it was in part of the PreCambrian Shield.
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"
