If you have been following my blog over the last 4 or 5 months you will probably already know about my family and I moving away from the Toronto, Ontario area out to the country. Actually about 2 and a half hours north east of the Toronto area.
Many people have asked us why we would want to move so far away from in all.... All being things like, traffic, high cost of living, traffic, no place to put snow in the winter time, winter traffic, crowds, "on the way to work" traffic, over-crowded stores during peak shopping times, "on the way home" traffic, (ok, I hate traffic!) and of course, NOISE. Well I know I am not much of a writer, so I am going to let some pictures speak a thousand words for me. Please note. If you are a bushcrafter and love the outdoors during all seasons you will understand why these pictures spoke to me so strongly.
If you are not the type of person that likes winter in any of its forms, you would probably be saying something like "Yeah but look at all that snow! Think of all the shoveling you would have to do!"
Oh. I think I have that covered!
It's a bushcraft shovel! No! Really! See the camouflage?
Thanks, Decado.
I LOVE the blade on the ATV... looks awesome. THAT'S how we do things in the country!
ReplyDeleteLets go geocaching/equicaching - there are a couple right by our farm so we can take the horses... I even have a GPS holder for my saddle!!
Amanda
Great photos!
ReplyDeleteSo... those don't... look... like... wool pants, young man.
So with all that snow, are you planning to get a Grand Shelters Icebox Igloo tool?
I'm dreaming of building a lean-to in your forest there, with a nice long fire, cooking dinner over the embers.
Cheerios,
Mungo
I am so jealous. Going to go and sulk now :(
ReplyDeleteAmanda - But I don't have a horse.... yet!
ReplyDeleteMungo - No to the Igloo tool... just a snow saw like the eskimos do it. I should be sitting at that fire by friday.
Sam - Sorry Sam. Really. Please come back. I won't show any more pictures.... I promise.
Decado.
I like the pic of the barn the best. How is your super shelter holding up with all of that snow?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteSuper Shelter is still standing and looking good. Should put some pics up soon!
Decado.
Great stuff Decado. What a place to live! Fantastic. Wish you well.
ReplyDelete"I won't show any more pictures.... I promise."
ReplyDeleteno no, put up more, I need the snow, it's all rain here in T.O. so far :(
Thanks Pablo!
ReplyDeleteSorry Sam! Leo wants pictures! Have to see what I can do... Glad its just raining in T.O. since I have to go there tomorrow for a meeting...
Decado.
El dudo, if you're in Toronto tomorrow, you must give me a call and I'll bring you into the broadcast place where I work and show you about... Lemme know!
ReplyDeleteMungo
That looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I got a bit of home-sickness feelings looking at the house and the surroundings.
It's the style of the house and the red colour that does it I guess.
I'm jealous as hell. For you for having real weather. (We in The Netherlands have to be content with a 8 month autumn, a 3 month spring and maybe a 1 month summer. But also for being able to live so free and easy. I wish, I wish, I wish.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Now thats real snow! We get just a couple of inches in the UK and the whole country shuts down for almost a week. Love the camouflage ATV! More photos please! :)
