It’s easy to imagine that an alarm clock ringing at 4:45 in the morning makes just about the worst noise you’ve ever heard. By the time I was awake for 30 seconds it was easy to conclude that was the second-worst sound I’d heard all day. An incessant drumming on the tin roof told me [...]

WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting – Day 2 – Football, Technology and an Early Sleep
Posted in Moose, Special Series, tagged wellpreservedmoosehunt2011 on October 30, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Sunday started late for me. Schaeffer continued his morning tradition by waking up everyone but me (he seems to have learned that trying to wake me is a fruitless task so he ignores me in the morning and tries to wake everyone else). Since the hunt doesn`t begin until tomorrow, many of us took our [...]

I am certain there`s a million better writers who have lamented about the reasons why time flies when you need it to crawl and why it dithers when you need to find the accelerator but you`re reading this and you`re stuck with me. And I fought time as hard as I could today. Needless to [...]
WellPreserved Goes Moose Hunting – Day 0 – Limbo

It’s Friday evening as I write this and the last 36 hours has been a blur. It’s with a small but of reflection that I realize that the blur has lasted more than 36 days. The Fall is my favourite time of year – it’s also the busiest. There are so many competing interests at [...]
My Local Foodsource Includes Select Hunting… Here’s what’s coming (and what’s not)
Posted in Moose, Special Series, tagged wellpreservedmoosehunt2011 on October 27, 2011 | 11 Comments »
Greetings all! Regular readers may recognize a gap between my announcement that I was hunting back to the woods for the annual moose hunt, my return and the lack of update around what happened. Those who have been around these parts for longer know what’s coming but I wanted to invite the rest of you [...]

a video by Well Preserved on Flickr. Post 3 of 3 sharing small videos from deep within Ontario’s Forests which show ancient signs of our past… Settlers were charged with building rock walls to claim their territory. The walls were specific sizes (both of the physical wall and the area they had to cover) – [...]
Signs of Real Homesteaders in Ontario – Rock Caches
Posted in Homesteading on October 25, 2011 | 2 Comments »
a video by Well Preserved on Flickr. Post 2 of 3 sharing small videos from deep within Ontario’s Forests which show ancient signs of our past… Large piles of rocks (known as ‘caches’) often marked ‘cornerposts’ of settlements. This is just down the road from the rock foundation we shared in yesterdays video. These caches [...]

a video by Well Preserved on Flickr. Post 1 of 3 sharing small videos from deep within Ontario’s Forests which show ancient signs of our past… Part of the hunting experience is connecting with land that many people never see and time has forgotten. On the following video, we share a humbling discovery – yhe [...]

Joel is back from hunting (yesterday) and we’re enjoying a quiet day of sunshine (the first in over a week!) and catching up. Today’s post is from me, a little break before he launches in to his account of the hunt. About a month ago we were preparing for the Slow Food Picnic at the [...]
Random Musings of Hunting: Driving the Line and other Terminology
Posted in Hunting (General), Special Series on October 22, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
This is post 5 of 6 in a series sharing random stories and thoughts from my years in the woods. They won’t tie directly together but I’m hopeful that they will share a common feeling to give an overall picture of some of the rarely discussed elements around hunting that may give a bigger picture of something I’ve [...]
