Now what is a guy supposed to do?

[Teth-Air]

Camping, Biking, Boating, Sledding

Many use these activities to escape the weekly grind and now that all these freedoms are being pulled away, what is a guy to do?

I guess you can still go fishing or hiking if you don't try and park in a recreation area or on the road??

I'm sure they will find a way to put a stop to these too?

I am sure glad I am not one of the poor souls who bought a new travel trailer at the RV show.

Let's throw out some ideas of activities that we all think will still be allowed. I hear golfers are petitioning to get the okay to open courses.

Okay there will be "that guy" who is going to answer "stay home!" , we don't want to hear from you in this thread thanks because there are guys that if they stay home they will go nuts and self medicate or worse.

I hear ya.Me and the boy hit the river valley mountain biking normally on sundays,this year if we can't get out dirt biking anywhere we'll be riding saturday as well.We are lucky for the bicycle paths edmonton has(if they don't shut them down).It looks like 14 degrees sunday good day for a ride.

Hopefully we can still sneak onto the rivers launching creatively..

I need a new bike for the trails too!

I've got a pile of firewood I need to split, a welding table to finish, lots of finishing to do on my boat.

I'm also keeping an eye out for a small metal lathe and maybe even a mill for some hobby projects I'd like to do.

But otherwise I'm in the same boat as you, all the fun stuff I like to do is off limits. We take the dog for walks, go for drives into the country, but it's not the same.

Drove by the boat launch yesterday and it's open, of course the river still has 3 ft of ice on it though.

Harley is ready to go. Once weather gets up just a bit more...i'm gone, social distancing at it's best.

Wish i would have waited to buy a trailer. deals are great on kijij right now...

Gopher season is starting up. Will be heading east to Castor country soon. If we can’t camp west we will head east to the badlands. Beautiful country that way too.

I think private campgrounds will be open. They will practise "social distancing" as best they can. Every second spot would remaining closed in the campgrounds that would normally pack them in like sardines. Businesses are only going to follow the rules for so long and then there will be chaos.

I got out boating last week but not sure how long the launch will be open.

yes they are open. Random camping is not banned. Just no ohv, No fire, except propane fire pit.
Must be self contained and no visitors

I’d rather just drink the beer. Someone else can brew it for me.

We've made our own wine for a while now, sometime I'd like to try beer, but I'd really like to get/build a shiny copper thing and make ...um ....distilled water.
