Be interested in when you might use that and for what species of fish you think it catch.

But then thin leather gets wet, cold too in England. The boots you wear in that video would not work good much up here. Thick Leather OK for very cold weather and like you said keep feet warm - but only when dry.

Whats wrong with rubber boots? I think you call them 'Wellies' or same. Cheap, waterproof, available most places 0- even up here for little cost. Why, and all those English farmers I saw can't all be wrong. Our favourite boot when wet and cold.

Sometimes alone when out hunting I lay awake looking to the night sky. It is black and full of stars, so many you cannot count them all. They are the spirits of ancestors who once trod our land. I wonder when i look at them all the things they have seen, the civilisations, tribes and...

Don't take this too seriously Boatman. Your question is just the same as me asking you, why you brits didn't invent:- Agriculture Maths writing Astronomy Algebra Philosophy Space travel Introduce all the things the Romans did for you (they didn't do anything for us) You know, central...

At over 20 posts on here we seem to be getting a lot of your opinion & knowledge Boatman? Although some of I don't understand in terms of Rick Hall and his TV programme, but then....?

I'm not aware I've given advice on this subject. Nor have I picked on you white folk. I was simply stating facts that I think are widely held. And I actually stated that some of the treaties bought us benefits. I'm not aware I've said anything other than facts about incomers such as non...

Boatman I don't know whether this was meant for me. If it was, perhaps you could visit us and give us the benefit of your great wisdom in these matters. Perhaps you could even spare the time to show us how to survive in the forests too? Joe ;-)

Tansi Swallow Like Santaman said. Many regs and for those of us who spend a lot of time in the bush hunting, its too difficult to do. So kids must go to school and learn the same 'history' you learn. I believe the subjects are just about the same as UK schools. They even teach us about...

Tansi/wadji The land where they take oil from the ground in in southern Manitoba, a long ways south west. A lot of interesting stuff there. By the way I'm not aware of Liyiyuu having had war against you moniyaw. Like white people what you call Crees are many 'groups', who consider...

Tansi Oh, dear did I start all this?. Sorry folks, was tired after a long and hard trip due to bad weather (too warm!! ha ha) when I posted my previous messages. They say more about me than criticism of you. And I aint got no axe to grind with what went on in the past. Well, Sort of...

When you use the word, they, who do you mean? All 1st Nations? Some? Or just the tribes you read about? ;-) Joe.

Why do many white people think we were all the same?

Are you implying that you - the anglos - live the 'happy clappy' life. Your wars kills, thousands and thousands of people. Mostly people who've done you no personal harm. Anyhows there were no Sioux ever this far north, nor Pawnees. For many native american indians there has been no...

Some kinds of trees - and we have many trees in our country - do this naturally when it rains in certain ways like f7144 says.

That sounds like you've been in a a bad place my friend. We could all do with an editing kit to remove the bad stuff from our life and actions. But we make our own luck I think and you sound like you have started to make your own too by moving south of the border to the states. Many indians...

I am glad you enjoyed your trip. Being alone in the woods and forests is a good way to reconnect with your soul and heart and to make you understand what things in life are important. To do a short trip in your canoe is also good. If you want to do longer trips they need not cost a lot of...

It looks like our friend the Raven. They eat dead animals and also mice, voles and the like. But they'll also eat some seed and berries. What the bird can't digest it brings it up and spits it out. I can't see very well from the picture but the berries may just be the remains of old berry...

If we're travelling well south of treeline, say N. Ontario or N.Manitoba we'll use it and the peeling bark is good for kindling as you may know. Further North up towards tree-line choice is mostly only pines, of which we have a few different species.

My friend from near Whitby told me you'd had a little bad weather today. Cold, wet and windy with some small flooding of village and town. Its -27 C here at the moment and the snow is about 3ft to 4ft deep and deeper in drifts. trapping season.
