Sorry to hear you're down for maintenance JR. I got a feeling it'll take a lot to keep you down.

One of the amazing things about the Nahanni is the rock formations, fossils, and assorted colours. I already have a thing for rocks ( being a Prospector was one of my first dreams as a kid) so this place really blows me away.

Cool pictures as always. I like the cool colors in the rocks you get around that area. The older folks around here say this year was one of the earliest and fastest spring thaws they have ever seen. We got some high heat early this year.


If it was easy, everybody would be doing it!

Very interesting rock formations. Petrified trees are pretty neat, some parts of them are hardened almost like agate.

Same to the north east in Canada. We had an early breakup muskrat hunting was 4 or 5 days long before the muskrats fought all the value out of themselves. Temps were 18C to 22C then for the last week a north wind and rain / snow blew in and we have been starting the wood stove for a few nights. Now it is clearing up again may go to the coast tomorrow.

Hey Bushman. I read about a forest fire burning in WW. Is your cabin safe?

I hear you Ron, but a full time job in summer time for the gardener ( my wife ) It's her passion. My son and I built the house and all the landscaping features ourselves but it's taken forever. I'm in no hurry. Jake - I'm 15 minutes away from civilization.


I'm just finishing up looking at our footage from our last film shoot, partner came out of bush 2 weeks ago. Our goal was to get some summer wolverine footage which is hard to do. We got lucky and nailed some great footage. Also got bears, moose, marten, and great wolf footage.

In one clip a moose comes rolling down the river in full sprint flood. It must have got swept off its feet. The young bull struggles to its feet and stands in the full force of the current shoulder deep. It walks into shore and stands there recovering. But earlier a black bear had walked along the creek and was still in the bushes, unseen. The moose started into the trees with it's ears pointed forward for at lest three minutes before turning around and plunging back into the creek and crossing to other side. But here's the thing the wind was blowing hard from moose to bear and the bear was hid. Six sense?

I'm down in the crowsnest pass in southern Alberta. I've been at a wolverine conference attended by a lot of researchers currently conducting research across Canada , lower 48, and a special treat Audrey came down from Alaska. Jeff Copeland from the Wolverine Foundation was also there. Obviously some interesting projects were discussed but our Alberta research project which is a collaboration with Trappers was a real topic of interest. There were three of us trappers in attendance and we had a great opportunity to dialogue and maybe even opened a few eyes and minds to the value trappers contribute towards conservation
