    Best Edmonton Area Gun Ranges

    I see this question come up often enough that I thought I’d write a quick article with some pros/cons to each range. Edmonton has 2 indoor ranges inside the city and 2 large outdoor ranges outside of the city. I belong to both CHAS and SPFGA and generally prefer outdoor ranges for the long range,…

  • Importing a Toyota Vanguard

    Importing a Toyota Vanguard

    Time for another off-topic post! I’m writing this because there’s not a lot of good information on this vehicle. I needed a vehicle to replace my well loved but aging and rusting, 2003 Dodge Caravan. Why import a right hand drive JDM to Canada? Because the used car market is pants-on-head retarded right now and…

  • A look back on 2023 and a look forward to 2024

    2023 was a busy year for me. 2023 by the numbers Publishing videos on alternative platforms To put it plainly, the YouTube competitors aren’t getting any traction.

  • Propane vs Butane for Camp Stove

    Propane vs Butane for Camp Stove

    Some trailers and RV’s have an external propane hookup for an outside propane stove. Mine did not but I had a cheapo $20 butane stove and I wondered if butane could do the trick for me? Long ago, we used to use white gas stoves. Those were eventually ditched in favour of the iconic green…

  • Pop-Up Camper Upgrades

    Pop-Up Camper Upgrades

    I picked up a tent trailer (called a pop-up trailer or pop-up camper in the US) for hunting, Mapleseed, and family camping. It’s fairly new (2008) but I still found a few things I wanted to upgrade and I’ll include those upgrade ideas below. Want my packing checklist? Right here. Use case: I don’t go…
