Canada Fly-In Lakes Provide Unique Survival Options

By Ghris J Phillips

Ontario Fly-In lakes delight tourists by providing outstanding fishing and other recreational activities. People come from miles away to experience the serenity and beauty of the Canadian wilderness. The area is great for bird watchers, photographers, canoe enthusiasts and anglers. Many lakes boast of populations of trophy game fish.

Canoeing opportunities are a real treat in the remote sections of Canada's pine forests. The interconnected waterways that traverse the forest are home to black bear, moose, red fox, timber wolves, white-tailed deer, beaver and other wildlife. Enjoying the call of a loon that pierces the air is all part of the experience in this part of Canada. In Wabakimi Provincial Park you may also be lucky enough to see woodland caribou. The park is home to around three hundred caribou.

For fishermen, the remote lakes of Ontario's wilderness are among the world's best for highly sought after species like walleye and northern pike. Pike over twenty pounds are not uncommon and many walleye exceed ten pounds in this area. Some locations also have smallmouth bass, perch and lake trout.

During the summer, swimming and sunbathing are popular past times. The water is cool but refreshing. August and September tend to be the best months for swimming, because the water temperature is tolerable and the mosquito season has abated. During the spring and early summer, bug repellent is an item you should not leave behind. Sun screen is also advisable.

Many areas have remote cabins that you can stay in. They frequently feature modern amenities and can be a great place to relax after a day of canoeing and fishing. For a more rustic vacation, back country campsites are also an option. Travelers may wish to stay out under the stars at night and begin fishing at the crack of dawn, miles away from the trappings of urban civilization.

Many of these lakes are only accessible by bush plane, so they are not over-fished or overpopulated. You can enjoy a true one of a kind wilderness adventure and bring back photos and memories. Whether you camp outdoors or rent a secluded cottage, your experience is sure to be a memorable one.

Ontario Fly-In lakes offer excellent fishing, canoeing and swimming opportunities. Here the coniferous forests smell of pine and the sounds of the wild come to life, playing music in your ears. Leave behind the hustle and bustle of the city and you can experience the tranquility of the Ontario wilderness first hand.

Some World War 2 Trivia

Little Known WWII History        
(unsourced, author unkown)
The first German serviceman killed in WW II was killed by the Japanese ( China , 1937)

The first American serviceman killed was killed by the Russians ( Finland 1940)

Highest ranking American killed was Lt Gen Lesley McNair, killed by the US Army Air Corps.  So much for friendly fire.

The youngest US serviceman was 12 year old Calvin Graham, USN. He was wounded and given a Dishonorable Discharge for lying about his age. His benefits were later restored by act of Congress.

At the time of Pearl Harbor , the top US Navy command was called CINCUS (pronounced 'sink us'),

The shoulder patch of the US Army's 45th Infantry division was the Swastika, and Hitler's
private train car was named 'Amerika.' All three were soon changed for PR purposes.

More US servicemen died in the Air Corps than the Marine Corps. While completing the required 30 missions, your chance of being killed was 71%.

Japanese Ace Hiroyoshi Nishizawa shot down over 80 planes. He died while a passenger on a cargo plane.

It was a common practice on fighter planes to load every 5th round with a tracer round to aid in aiming. This was a mistake. Tracers had different ballistics at long range so if your tracers were hitting the target, 80% of your rounds were missing. Worse yet, tracers told your enemy he was under fire and from which direction. Worst of all was the practice of loading a string of tracers at the end of the belt to tell you that you were out of ammo. This was not something you wanted to tell the enemy. Units that stopped using tracers saw their success rate nearly double and their loss rate go down.

When allied armies reached the Rhine , the first thing men did was pee in it. This was pretty universal from the lowest private to Winston Churchill (who made a big show of it) and Gen. Patton (who had himself photographed in the act).

German Me-264 bombers were capable of bombing New York City , but Hitler decided it wasn't worth the effort.

German submarine U-120 was sunk by a malfunctioning toilet.

Among the first 'Germans' captured at Normandy were several Koreans. They had been forced to fight for the Japanese Army until they were captured by the Russians and forced to fight for the Russian Army … until they were captured by the Germans and forced to fight for the German

Army … until they were captured by the US Army.
 
AND LAST.... Following a massive naval bombardment, 35,000 United States and Canadian troops stormed ashore at Kiska, in the Aleutian Islands . 21 troops were killed in the assault on the island. It could have been worse … if there had been any Japanese on the island.

Zombie Lane is down

Zombie Lane, our only real reason for visiting Google +, appears to be down. There have been a lot of unexplained crashes and lags in the limited offerings over at Google Games lately and the flashy new G+ interface does not appear to be helping at all. We hope that they get their maintenance issues sorted out soon.
We were just getting ready to harvest this week's Cabbage crop in order to buy the Bazookas necessary to kill the last of the Super Zombies.

Until the Google+ will be a lonely place.

A Guide to Mechanical Repairs

By Xander Davenport


It is incredibly frustrating when your car's engine dies in the middle of nowhere and you need to have it transported away. In that situation, after you have got your vehicle to a safe place you need to get it to a mechanic straight away. Many mechanics offer car towing, and will come and pick up your automobile to take it to their garage for repair.

You might already have a basic knowledge of what your mechanic does for you car. Basically, it is a proactive job that involves the mending and replacing of different automobile parts. Specialists trained in this profession are familiar with all the mechanical features and engine components of a vehicle and what purpose they serve.

Both minor and major services for cars are offered by mechanical repair engineers or garages. An example of a minor service is changing the oil or fuel filters. These filters ensure that the oil a car is using is clean, and so should always be in good condition. Another is an alternator service. Alternators are used for powering electrical systems of the car while the engine is running as well as charging the car's battery. Alternator malfunctioning is characterized by the engine not starting up. In this example, the mechanic might need to install a new alternator, which they can supply themselves. Your automobile may need other forms of minor servicing and repair, such as aircon repair or radiator repair.

Mechanics also perform major services for vehicles which have been involved in crashes. This can involve replacing larger and vital parts of the engine or straightening out the metal casing of the automobile. These repairs are likely to be dear, and depending on the severity of the damage you could be far better off simply purchasing a new vehicle.

You should always have a local mechanic's number of hand, in case you have an automobile emergency and need servicing.

Looking For Ontario Fishing Outposts And Interesting Ideas

By Chris J Phillips


The Ontario countryside is a place where one can find many different and unique Ontario fishing outposts for those who want to simply get away from everything and take a trip out to the great outdoors. On the Internet it is possible for aspirants to look around and see if there are any good places near them where specific types of fish can be found. Secluded spots are normally one of the better places to look, as there will of course then be less competition from other anglers who might be a little more skilled in this regard.

There are many reasons why people might like fishing. Some people are enthusiastic about it as a sport and indeed there are numerous competitions that people can partake in. Patience is a key element to success here, but also knowing where there happens to be a large amount of a particular kind of fish within a specific area. Many enjoy this as a random road trip.

Ontario fishing outposts are also something which can sometimes offer people a more low cost holiday. Nowadays many people are concerned with the prices of different products and services, but finding a more cost effective way of getting out there is probably a better idea. On top of this, individuals can also take advantage of the great outdoors and even combine it with other ideas as well.

Many families like to take a trailer and head up to the mountains or the lakes and go camping. Camping is often a great experience for children who can then get to experience more about nature and wild life. It will also provide a much more relaxing alternative to those who live in the bigger cities, where one is constantly surrounded by urbanization. Sometimes it is nice to just get away from it all.

Those who have plans to make trips like this will need to sort out several things. Have emergency money somewhere, so as to make sure that everything goes smoothly. Aside from this, also be sure that there is some kind of medical supply kit somewhere in case of accidents.

Most of the time, those who are knowledgeable about this particular sport will of course have the right supplies with them in their homes. But sometimes top ups are needed especially when considering the likes of bait and more. Looking on the Net is usually a good idea in this regard.

Ontario fishing outposts are sometimes on private land and therefore people will be charged to go there. It is important to research on this before anything else, in order to ensure that one is not trespassing on someone else's property.

Riflescope Upgrade

By Italo May


I'm learning to fly so I can do more moose hunting. I like flying, and I like the backcountry, and I like hunting moose. It's a natural fit. I've wanted to do it for a very long time.

I use a .308 for moose hunting. It's a Model 70 Winchester Featherlite, pre-64. It was my fathers, and before that, my uncle's. It's been in the family a long time and there is some sentimental value. It's a nice rifle.

Like most high powered rifles, this one has a scope. It's a 4x Scope Chief, by Bushnell. It was a great scope in it's day, but scope technology has advanced quite a bit. They zoom now, gather light better, and generally just have way better optics.

Over the last three years I've had several long range run ins with moose. One I shot, but it was long. Two others I let pass. Talking with other hunters led me to believe I could have shot them provided I had a range finder and knew what my rifle would do. I also decided to add a new scope to the mix.

I picked up a new Bushnell Elite. Where the Scope Chief would magnify things by 4 this one ranges from 3x to 10x. It gathers lots of light and just looks way superior to the old technology. Much as I appreciate and respect the old scope, this one is a big step up.

Scopes and scope talk seems more confusing than it is. The sales staff didn't clear much of it up. They seemed to just be waiting for me to tell them how much I'd spend. While they agreed that more money got you a better scope, they didn't really explain why.

Mounting he scope would have cost me $100. There was no way I was throwing that money away without a good reason. It didn't look that hard to mount a scope, so I decided I'd do it myself. Besides, I like being well acquainted with all aspects of my gear.

Changing one scope for another can be very easy. In this case I use the same mounts, and only change the rings. The result is that all I'm doing is undoing screws.

The scope is attached to the rifle with a combination of rails, bases and rings. The rails are screwed to the receiver. The rings attach to the bases by a system of hooks and screw compression. The bases slide onto the rails and are cinched tight by screws.

The swap scopes you can use the same rails. However, you may have to change either the rings or the bases. In fact, sometimes you have to change both. In my case that's what happened. The new scope is shorter, and so it needed new bases. The new bases allow the scope to slide forward and back. The old bases didn't allow for any adjustment.

The job was completed quickly. All that was required was to swap the bases, and screw them down, which was two screws. Then, four more screws tightened the rings to the bases, holding the scope securely. The only thing left is sighting the weapon in.

It's that easy. If you're using the same rails just swap the scope and sight it in. After that, throw your gear in the plane and hit the backcountry for some self guided hunting.

How To Live In An RV Fulltime and Not Go Nuts

By Ralph Burns


So what's full-time RVing about?

For your very first few days, living in an RV fulltime is enjoyable, different and amazing. You are traveling on the open road, finding brand new destinations, escaping the bonds of the typical world, it's totally amazing...

Immediately after, you then begin pondering: "Just how are we going to live in a space under two hundred feet square, along with two child, a pair of adults with full time jobs and actually see just a few attractions along the way?"

It might seem kind of obvious, but with full time RVing, lots of things change. Some other adjustments families considering RVing full time might not think about include:

* Laundry:

In case you're thinking of purchasing a motorhome which has a washer clothes dryer hookup, don't bother, they are a complete waste of money. Should you choose to travel that road, your laundry can take triple the amount of time it would if you just got an RV that doesn't have one.

The truth is that a majority of Motorhome parks include washer/dryers on site and though it is expensive to do it, the machines are generally larger which enable it to fit in a lot more clothes.

The truly amazing part when it comes to doing laundry is getting away from the Mobile home for an 60 minutes or so is really a welcome break and remarkably relaxing. In case you've got a 5th wheel, take your mobile computer and look for a Laundromat.

* Food Shopping:

In each and every city, you'll find a fresh food buying experience waiting for you. Each individual grocery store has a distinct configuration in the event that you're a bloke that refuses to ask for guidance (present company omitted of course), you'll quite possibly be roaming aimlessly down and up aisle after aisle in search of the fresh kiwi.

Back home, you might write down your supermarket list by aisle to avoid wasting time, however, when RVing full time, plan on extra time prompting the store staff where virtually every little thing on your shopping list is. Make sure you bring a pen to jot down aisle locations.

* WI-FI:

In the event that you're living in an RV fulltime and still need to work, the chances are good that you'll require a reliable connection to the internet not only to keep in contact with family and friends but your work assignments as well.

So when you're setting up your trip, make sure the Recreational vehicle campsite contains dependable Internet connectivity. Don't simply consent to "yeah of course we have it" as an answer. Be assertive, probe them for megabytes as well as download data transfer rates.

Just in case, always have your cellular cards to provide a backup to be safe. I advise having one from at least 2 carriers, just to be safe.

* Working Time:

If you or your wife or husband (or both) work when RVing full time, do yourself a huge favor and simply plan working time the previous day, so that you both get the time needed in order to get your job done. Typically the best moments to undertake your work will end up being at nighttime or in the morning to be certain at the very least the minimum gets completed.

This sort of routine is also a good usage of time to help you see the points of interest, go see close friends and really enjoy your time RVing during the daytime. It's not too fantastic on the insufficient sleep end of things however. Hey, there should be some type of price to pay for this location independence, right?

Nevertheless, there are lots of facets of living in a motorhome fulltime you need to examine before making the decision to do it. However, if regardless of these kinds of modest issues, you are still enthusiastic about taking the plunge, the idea of RVing fulltime might be a very good idea to take into consideration for you and your family.
