    Dash Cam

    Viofo A229 pro with hardwire kit for parking mode. Works great and I really like the voice activation to snap a pic or lock a file, so it cant be over written.

    Are you a "Save every penny for retirement" or "Live life now" type person?

    We used to save as much as we could and put off vacations etc. I’d work all the OT I could get my hands on. I’ve watched too many colleagues at work over my years do the same only to pass before retiring or be in too poor health to be able to do what they wanted. So over the past few years the...

    Proper etiquette "paying it forward"

    It’s not really about thinking someone can’t pay for their own order. If that were the case you wouldn’t be in the drive through line. It’s about a random act of kindness. I’ve had this happen to me. I was actually have a real ****** day and had the person in front of me pay for my coffee. It...

    Budget Vacation

    Stay away from Cuba. Lots if places can't get alcohol. Food and cleanliness can also be an issue. Not sure what you consider cheap, but there are some good deals for a 3 or 4 day Vegas trip.

    Sportrack vs thule vs yakima

    Be careful with cheap ones like rack attack. They are good, however it’s hard to put accessories like the J bars on them. At least the rack I have. It is thicker on on side, which looks sweet and cuts down on noise but a real pain in the ass to attach anything to and keep tight

    Boat Rentals

    Used to go to lake Dalrymple a lot. We’d get a pontoon boat. Great for a bunch of guys fishing and drinking. Can’t drink on a boat anymore unless it has certain features, being one, but given the amount of people you’re looking at a pontoon boat would be great. Not really part of the boater...

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    I believe the TPS were ready to go in on day one but were told by UofT that they were not needed and that the University could handle it on their own.

    No need to splice into wires. Just purchase a couple fuse taps. Very easy and clean

    Inexpensive option for a quality dashcam

    Very easy to hardwire I”ll second the Viofo. I have the V229 pro front and rear camera. Works great and has come in handy several times. Once capturing a hit and run in front of me, shared video with the person hit, who shared with the cops. Easy to connect to your phone and download the...

    Any Hunters or bushcrafters?

    Not a camper but I do hunt. If you don’t have any friends or family with land, the best way is to knock on doors and ask. Be prepared for a lot of no”s. If you’re mechanically inclined you could offer your services, or help out a few days on the farm. Clear bush, pick up big rocks from their...

    Help with bicycle purchase

    I would advise you to go to a few shops and text ride different bikes. Get a feel for how it feels, are the brake levers and gear placement comfortable for you. I would also not buy from a place that will not take the time to fit you to the bike. You did not mention a budget, but anything under...
