One year at camp we grabbed a bunch of the broken ice off lake tehake where our ice road was,that night we sat around in our tents and had a crown royal chilled with a beautifull blue piece of lake ice in the glass.After 6 weeks without any booze it was a nice package to get in the mail,a bottle of CR which I just had to share.

I'm with you on the lake ice, but CR? CC, please!

That was the sweetest drink I ever had.
I took things for granted when I was in the "world" which is back home in Oilberta.

A bottle of CC could be had for $250.00 from the bootlegger in Nunavut,after 6 weeks I would have paid double that for a shot.
A galfriend from Vancouver mailed me the CR and it came with a real nice glass,I remember watching the chopper get unloaded every day to see if my "package" was on it.You had to ship priority post or it would get hijacked around Churchill by the authorities,xmas was allways a bad time to get something shipped.

But then again when your ****ting in a pail in an unheated outhouse with no seat and trying to sleep in an uninsulated prospectors tent at - 80 the little things become big things.

That sounds very idealistic, and VERY naive. Nations that don't arm themselves put themselves in the gun sights and territorial ambitions of those that do. That's not very ideastic, but those are the lessons of history.
roflmao I'm naive? You think anyone would attack Canada when it's home to NATO in the Arctic? Get a grip. roflmao That's hilarious.

I traveled all over the eastern arctic and never saw a NATO troop and I spent lots of time in airports,mostly with American and Canadian troops training in the north with the rangers.

So? Because Mr. Kakato didn't see anyone with NATO plastered all over them must obviously mean NATO doesn't have an interest in the Arctic. I see.
Les went north for a bit and was anxious to see a Arctic fox. He didn't. So because he didn't see an Arctic fox must mean there aren't any.
