You can save each one individually off flickr. Just click see all sizes in the photo menu and the there's an option to download the largest size.

Hmm I got as far as that screen and picking a size and then it would not download.

I am stuck on an iPad as my lap top died and I'm broke bitch!

All this gun talk has me wondering. The impression that we yanks generally get is that you guys are pretty tame compared to us here in the States. Unless of course you watch Trailer Park Boys. Do you guys have that weird ammo hoarding/shortage thing going on up there?

So what is the short version of what is restricted? Handguns? Magazine capacities? Non-sporting calibers? just curious.

Thread-drift unintended.

That entitlement thing always sketches me out, but I think the perception is enhanced by an unbalanced mass media.

Use your computer as it was intended. How hard is it to use the search functions? If you trash this thread, I will personally infect your sister.

Not.

But really, check it out. It is one of the coolest threads on this sight.

So I live in BC. Some non-hunting, non-restricted guns are: semi-auto SKS, Baretta Cx4 storm, Bushmaster ACR, Tavor Tav21, and
Mannlicher Steyr HS .50 BMG-M-1 Repeater Rifle.

So the list is pretty random of what isn't allowed. AR's are a no-no. Just because the RCMP put it on the naughty list. But you can use your restricted license to buy one.



My friends in the US had no clue that you could own anything up here until they come visit me. We live wayyy out of town, and I have convinced a couple that they could live in Canada despite the gun laws by taking them shooting in my back yard. The good part about it is that we don't have the shortages/runs on ammo like you guys get.

Here's a local hunting shop, you can check out the list of guns they sell...

All there is behind my place are logging cut blocks, no climbing. I can't imagine that shooting in that tight valley in Squamish would be such a great idea. I'll probably sell the guns if I move in to the city.

Anyone know what the girl was doing out at 2am? Any idea where exactly they found her on the track? Quite a story!

Yes. Although a few years before the notorious pant-loading incident. It was on the same day that Nico Favresse was working Cobra Crack just a few meters to the right. You can see his cinematographer's leg in this shot.

That's cool Ghost, I met Nico at the top of angels crest a few years(5-6?) back. That same summer as your photo I would guess as I think he did the cobra that summer.

Him and his homie Sean had just finished an on sight simul climb of it in about an hour, we had just pitched it out in 6 or 7 hrs lol. We all smoked a huge spliff & went bouldering. They were both super humble Belgian crushers that had a lotta psyche on Squamish & climbing in general. Really infectious energy & kind dudes.

That would probably have been this trip from the Belgian crushers:

It is always a little sad when a geat climbing icon passes away, especially when they are so closely associated with the early development of Squamish. At 86 or 87 Mel was almost a contemporary of Uncle Fred, and they did a lot of routes together. We used to refer to him as Aunt Melanie, but not to his face of course. Quite the 'odd couple'. Rock on, Aunty Mel!!

Last day at WH2O today. That's a little sad too.

That is quite a story of the Black Dyke. Sounds like the author could be the garlic snafflehound creator also. I do not have a clue but I like both stories.
