Cheers, really appriciate the offer. but I really mean We lost everything. I am camping in my parents backyard and have to wait for 3 months till I can get a visa so I can work. I reckon I stuff this anｄ go to Europe and work the summer and come back with a visa. I will keep the rental situ in my mind

And guess what, They are going to charge $$$ for internet NEWS in Australia

Cheers, goz. Just doin`it cos I don`t have anything left in OZ. Lost everything and I thought stuff being on the dole. Asahikawa is VERY tempting

Yeah, I am looking at the map a lot. I guess we look at similar areas ... I don`t worry about the shops... I don`t drink

I am totally with GN on this. GOODONYAMATE well said. The Masons are EVIL clowns

Yeah, but where in Hokkaido !? Access to the snow and considering all that. Tubbs don`t drive so it is predictable he is in Sapporo but ....say don`t worry about work and all that , and whaddayasay?

One of the Funkiest Chopper Base beeeeen played. Me ? I have to say it depends on if you have met them upstairs, so to speak. Then it is not a matter of belief. Becomes one`s reality.

snowjapan we are on remember Let`s say Hokkaido, Iwate, Aomori, Miyagi ... somewhere that is not flat. I don`t like living in a BONCHI

Of course, near the snow .. Further North the better ... WHADDAYARECKON !?

Got that right on Ippy. I agree that if you got a base or means to carry so many boards, it will be a different ball game... and thatz what people started doin an enjoying.

DIY board is the only way to go when it comes to powder. I`m 60 kg but I go looong ...like 170 - 180 . If you have a base to keep your boards for that day. Personally I don^t like the backfoot style one develops when ridin boards like fish/hovercraft

Yes ... spend time between Europe and Japan more likely (I hope) Nice board sista, rippa length with btx ... did you find the btx work for you at that length?

Looks like to me he did that on purpose ... not trying to piss you off even more, but .... He defo took off from behind to catch up with you. Whether he wanted to be part of a scene (?) he had plenty of space to evade and not grab your boom

OK, I am camping in the back yard of my parents house with no money, waiting for my japa residency, and I do need to buy another board (cos the one here is my wife`s) hopefully for the next season .... Neck-talk got me going ! Whaz ya dream board at the mo ? I say mine is Dupraz

**in between your back and the pack** I never thought about that. It does sound uncomfortable

I guess the question now would be ~ What would be the ideal BackPack to do a horizontal carry ? no thread jack btw( excuse me pls)

Are these pellets like those some people use for BBQ ? How often do you have to feed them in a stove? My experience with wood stoves are that you have to spend some time geting to know em all have its own character ... I do like the fact that hardwood in Oz smells good, and I can chuck a decent size at night and that would be going all night to keep it warm and in the morning (if you do it right) you can get it going from whats left ... not bagging anyones choice btw

We had this discussion before, but I can`t find the thread I put up. I remember someone recommending me MSR. They were bloody expensive in Germany so　I gave it a miss. But if it was like under 100 bucks, I would probably carry a pair in my pack (just in case) even if I were on splitboards.

slightly

JA is lucky (well, he worked on them) to have stuff to burn. Firewood is expensive - you gotta have property with trees growing and falling and time to dry them. I would put a ceiling fan (revolution both ways for summer and winter) to keep the walm air down ... I guess with low ceilings it doesn`t matter ....

I had one very similar (nearly the same) as JA. IMHO, this is IT. Can open the front door and you get REAL open fire. You can put a kettle on top and make a cuppa plus acts as a humidifier !

Jeez ..Didn`t that happen a couple of years before？

After so many years ... you know .. In this situation, I rather someone distant and not related. I have decided on a company that takes it up for a fee.

Catch22 - I went to Shoku-an (halowork) and I need a valid visa to register to get employment. I can get Tei-jyu visa first that gives me a lot of options. After a year, I can apply for permanent residency. As for the citizenship,10 to 20 years (so they say after getting permanent residency)

good to know that some things will never chage
