It's really too early for us to tell (what they'll decide)," [Joel Lazer] said. "We're going to explore various options, but our preferred course of action is to keep everything intact (and sell the business as a whole). But I don't know if we're going to be able to do that. "I think it's a fact that people don't shop downtown any more," he said. "Maybe if it was in a big box location it might be successful, but who knows. You don't last for 60 years without doing something right." "I come here to buy everything -- warm clothes, used army stuff, fishing gear, camping equipment, tents and stuff like that. I've usually been able to find things I like here and I'd rather give my money to a small, locally owned business like this than a big retail chain."
ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia -- "Driving in the land of no fences with Father, Uugii and the G4 Challenge recce team. Over the course of the last few months, a small "band of brothers" has been roaming the Mongolian countryside identifying suitable locations. I joined them for a four-day drive in Land Rover LR2 and LR3 sport-utility vehicles through the Gobi desert running from Dalanzadad to Bayankhongor, camping in tents along the way. Our recce was led by South African Devlin Fogg, a former G4 Challenge competitor who now acts as competitions manager. His nine-man team included Uugii, a young Mongolian who speaks English and acted as both translator and "fixer" as well as a Mongolian man who was well into his 50s and known only as "Father," who acted as a guide. These men proved to be inva...
Learning was a very important part of my upbringing," Carter said. "My Mom told me that even before I was born, she used to read to me. Grade 9 was a high water mark year in Carter's schooling. Highlights included sharing confidences with her favorite teacher, Miss Cardinal, "who talked to me as if I were a friend," Carter recalled, and taking part in a traditional camping trip, setting up camp stoves in old fashioned tents out in the wilderness. "Onion Lake students like [Kim Carter] have a built in support system here and like the security of that. I have coached many of our students, traveled all over western Canada with them, and found that Onion Lake students like to go home. After taking their first and second year university courses on home base, hopefully, they will be a littl...
I'm hardly a sappy romantic who goes all ga-ga over red roses, gushy Hallmark cards and boxes of beribboned chocolates (I'll take the chocolates sans fancy wrapping, thank you very much), but from the moment I walked into my Tenthouse Suite at Rockwater Secret Cove Resort, I was smitten. Don't let the word "tent" fool you. With heated slate floors, a fluffy white down duvet on a king-sized bed, and room service, this is five stars up from camping. The intention was not to have the tents open year-round, but they've become so popular we changed our minds," says Kevin Toth, one of the owners, with a grin. His business partner had spent time in Africa, and Toth had been to Japan, so the goal was to incorporate a little of both in their vision of a reborn Lord Jim's Resort Hotel. Instead ...
A camping ground that will hold 60 tents and some trailers will be built under a federal-provincial agreement about six miles west of Brandon on the south side of the Trans-Canada Highway. Explorers in the dark control room of a research vessel had their first glimpse of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, peering in awe and silence at the great ship that disappeared in a gale on Nov. 10, 1975 in Canadian waters 27 kilometres off the coast of northern Michigan.

It's a wonderful experience and a lot of people don't take enough advantage of it. I spend a lot of time winter camping and you just have to be prepared for the outdoors," says Max Koltek, a winter sales specialist with Mountain Equipment Coop, noting that MEC sells all-season tents and other winter camping equipment. "You certainly need two inches minimum for walking and four inches minimum for snowmobiling," says [Gordon Giesbrecht], adding that early and late winter when the ice is freezing and melting are the most dangerous times for people traversing a lake, river or stream. "If you're prepared and well researched, then it's a wonderful time of year. Often the nights are crystal clear, just gorgeous. I think the key part of winter camping is going with a family or the Scouts. It j...

Every time you go out of doors the reality is you are going to have some impact on the environment," says Ken Berg, manager of the Winnipeg Mountain Equipment Co-Op store. "But small steps can be taken to lessen that impact. "And adapt the litter-less lunch idea to picnics," he says. "Use reusable or recyclable utensils to reduce waste." * Try not to disturb the natural environment. "Don't take home rocks or plants," says Berg. "Leave things in as natural a state as possible, as it was before you arrived."
