Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Posting Pix to site????

"Greek to me", but, I can take these old photos to the London Drugs just down Kingsway from it's junction with our street and get that done.

I have or had some others, a deer and some fish, but, far more important, the pix taken of me when we set up the lookout on Bell L/O above "First Bell-Irving Crossing" in 1972, I really treasure the very few L/O pix. I have from my four BCFS and three AFS seasons,especially the 1960's BCFS ones. I lost most of them in basement floods and wish I had put the negatives in a "safe deposit box" when I had them.

Fuzzy, I did not forget to look for the MR Load Cell-large and found it in my gear room. I am usually very organized and know where stuff is, but, the renos here have made some mess and I need to get that dealt with. So, call me tomorrow and you can come by then or Friday or whenever and pick it up.

I will show you whatever guns of mine you may want to look at based on our phone conversation the other day. "brno284"who posts here sometimes, has seven of my rifles for work in Kamloops, but, the others are here if you want to see them.

If, you have a small camera, maybe bring it and give me some lessons as I will buy one in the near future and am not very motivated to learn all of these "digital age" gizmos.

Holly smokes Vigil!!!!! Those brookies look like they're going to explode.

Thanks! We had fun. Going up there again this Fall. Lots of scuds/plankton in the lake and the Brookies gorge themselves. They are real pigs.

Vigil, did you have these pix burned on a disc and if so, please PM me EXACTLY how you got them from there to this thread?

Also, do you have a camera, that will take and transfer photos to the site,what it it and how do you do it?

Nice Brookies Vigil. They look like they should be oink'n...

Kute, you may want to consider having someone from the techy generation just come over to your house and show you. It is a bit confusing (especially taking verbal directions for this process)but once you see it done, then it becomes very easy to duplicate the process. Most teenagers could probably show you in a matter of 5 minutes or less. Dunno your situation, but if you have a grand kid or a younger person around...just ask em. I'm sure most would help you. I hope you figure it out.

I think that you are right and "Fuzzy" will likely be by later this week and my large, muscular and rather truculent nephew, his rugby name is "Mad Dawg" and for GOOD reason will be by to help me with yard work.

Yup, I will get some photos put on a disc and then have one of them do as you suggest.

WOW! Brookies don't get that big back east even if you feed 'em in a pond.

No, I just plugged my digital camera into my computer via the USB port and downloaded them. A younger generation techy could show you in just a few minutes. Your snapshots should be scanned in and put on a thumb drive or a CD. Your visitors this week will know what to do. Too tough to explain it to anyone over the Internet.

Yeah, they are big fat pigs. And I used to hear that fish don't grow big in mountain lakes! Hahaha!

Yup, I think that is how I will go and it will probably take a few days to get my surviving old pix put on a CD and then I can post pix as I see fit.

I cannot find some really neat photos of various fire lookouts, showing a younger(much)me, against some of the most gorgeous country in North America. But, maybe, they will turn up and I can post them here.

Then, I guess I had better carefully photo-document EACH step of EVERY hike, hunt, fishing trip or nature study trek I go on and keep them at hand to,well, you know......

So, next year, when, God willing, you come to visit and we go to a few places I don't talk about, you should bring a video-camera and make a "feature film" so we can "prove".........

Here are a few pix of me, hiking-climbing, on Bell L/O and Ballenas Island Lightstation, with an Elk I shot some years ago and so forth. There are more photos in my photobucket account, but, although I have never been much of a photographer, I do have a few from over the years....and about as many, mostly hunting and "lookout" photos were lost in basement flooding in 1993, in Maple Ridge, BC and several years ago in the East Vancouver house I now live in.

So, anyone can check Photobucket for the others I posted there.

Thanks for posting those Kute, I really enjoy the "vintage" photos.

C'mon guys I need to see some "proof" of your adventures.

Great pics Kute, I bet some of the guys that "tried" calling you out can only dream about some of the adventures you have been on in your lifetime!

Well, I posted these here and might be able to find a few more because I thought that some here might find it interesting. The pix cover about 40 years and I "seem"to have "grown" a little between age 26 and age 66......

Anyway, to me, this is not about competition, who has done or not done whatever or anything other than friendly enjoyment.

To me, the various lookouts, lightstation, wilderness treks and hunting-fishing are just what we did as a part of our lives in BC. As my buddy, "free_miner" said, again today,when over at my place teaching me how to post these; most of the more experienced bush guys he knows and has known for his 25ish years in the bush, never bothered with a camera, because this was normal daily life to us and not something unusual or special.

But, I am going to buy one of those little cameras and take photos of my up-coming trips and post them here as I do get into some spectacular places and I would enjoy sharing this with others.

BTW, did your McHale come yet? I am getting pretty "pumped"about getting one, but, I "owe"my long-suffering wife a new couch first.

My McHale is just getting finished up in sewing and should be here in the next week or two. I am already planning for another!

Did you happen to see Wolfgang's West coast trail report over at trail space? The "other" big guy is me by the way. Wolfgang said you sent him a pm thinking that he was actually me. Thanks for the advise for that trip. I was the only one that brought micro spikes and everyone else wished they did. If we would of got any rain we would of been a day late getting out because they would not of had them. That Vancouver coast sure is rugged, in some parts of the trail we were only doing about 1 km a hour hiking, but others were faster and a lot faster when on the beach. That makes for a long day when your doing 16 km!

Yep, I did read the first reports on that trek and I am sorry to see that some decided against "Microspikes", but, "live and learn",eh.

I dammed near broke my neck a few times on BC coastal deadfall before learning to wear spikes whenever I was traversing such terrain and I now carry the Kahtoola alloy crampons on any trek I go on. My wife is,FINALLY, going to retire at month's end and I will then be out in the "North Shore"mountains here at least every second day.

That will wear the gut off me and get me ready for West Kootenay Elk this Sept., I can hardly wait, after two years of being cooped up here with an invalid wife. I know a spot where one of the above photos was taken about 1973 and the Elk have moved in there bigtime....and one is mine!

kutenay, it looks like you already got it figured out. I posted this explanation up a long time ago to someone named koot for what it's worth. There are two ways to put a pic up. One is to upload the file via the file manager, and the other is to use a photo sharing account. Both ways are explained below, with the upload method first. I should add though, that if you upload the files it won't accept large files. I believe the limit is 100K, so for high resolution images, use a photosharing account.

"Koot"is not me and he is a gentleman from one of the small towns in the West Kootenays, actually, where I was living in 1981-82,when I decided to move to Vancouver. So, I would not have seen your instructions, however, thank you very kindly for your post as I can use all the info. on this that I can get.
