    gun-nut question

    A couple of friends of mine work as customs and border officials, one at Sumas, the other at Christina Lake. They love it when folks from backwoods Montana come up with their trucks filled with all sorts of assault rifles and the like, having no idea about gun laws in Canada. Yes, Alaska where in some parts there is a Grizz for every square kilometre an encounter is going to be almost unavoidable (but why the fuck do ya want to go backpacking on sandbars next to salmon choked rivers anyway unless you really want to HAVE to bag a bear?)

     

    But for most places in BC if you need a gun to stop a bear you've already done something wrong like not made enough noise or cooked steaks and salmon for dinner!

    I need a new truck because mine has a zillion miles on it and it isn't 4X4. I know the gold standard is the Toyota Tacoma, but dam, they're expensive used and seem to have lots of miles on them. Does anyone own a Mazda 2600 or a Nissan 4X4 truck? Are they anywhere near as good as Toyotas? One friend with a mazda says thy're great, but another has spent more on repairs than he paid for it.

Over the last 20 or so years I've driven a Nissan and two Toyota's, about 100,000 miles each, and the Toy's have been overall more reliable. But for most of us work-a-day weekend warriors, why do you want a truck at all? I've said this before, but it largely seems to be an image thing where guys gotta have a truck even though they actually use it like a car.

    Ha, ha, ha. Come to Canada. Your options for mountaineering in the summer are VASTLY reduced if you don't have 4WD hc. And from most S10s I've seen, they don't cut it in terms of clearance up here. Waterbars in the Squamish area can be three feet deep by three feet across! If you're ever in Whistler and you notice that there's a lot of Tacoma's without bumpers, that's why. [Wink]
