Wayne in BC
New member
Just sent out the Christmas gifts to our various family who are scattered across western Canada with a couple retards in Ontario. We and two other families are the only ones that know just how good BC is. (and we ain't sure we should tell them better)
Now i wish i could send the native parts of the family (Carol's side is Metis) some beads and get back Moose sausage but they insist on smoked Salmon, Cedar boughs, and nuts from our trees. Dumb azzes why would they want that crap?
I just sent a couple of my custom hunting knives to my grandaughters in Alberta who have started hunting at ages 12 and too close to 14. Their daddy really dotes on my honey smoked Salmon as do my daughter and the girls. Problem is he will eat it all given any chance at all! A very very good daddy but like a Coyote with food Last year my Sis sent us a vacuum sealer for Christmas (she blonde but not dumb!) and it is an excellent unit, uses heavy bags and sucks them tight. The other day when i finished turning 70 lbs of Chinook into edible smoked stuff i sealed a bunch and put labels on saying it was Christmas presents for the grandaughters only, even put their names on the packages with a felt pen!
I waited a day then sent his
Damn the shipping is expensive! 5 parcels by bus (cheapest) came to 150 odd bucks! I better see sausage coming back! A few years back i was carrying several lbs of smoked Salmon out to the family and it never made it past Mike, Alice, and Royal, they best never go to Alberta cause i used them for an excuse instead of admitting i forgot it in Mike's fridge
My Mother in law, a proud Metis woman, is actually starting to like me a bit after 20 years or so, amazing what time and smoked Salmon will do.
I made a bit of a tactical error when i was first dating Carol, her Ma did somthing nice for me and i quipped........"that was mighty white of you"
Thank God for Smoked Salmon!

Honestly I doubt it surprised her a bit
I know your granddaughters will be proud of the knives. You know they will cherish them because they came from you! Their chldren will enjoy them someday too!
