The resort we are staying at said no raw potatoes and no pet food. I think it was like 10lbs of beef per person. I'll be fishing Crow Lake tomorrow!

Beef used for pet food doesn't have the same processing rules as food for humans so therefore it is more of a Mad Cow risk. No wonder my dog acts so goofy.

My father just got off the phone with customs in Rainey River Ont.
They told him No pet food, No potatoes, 11lbs of meat per person, So if a group is going up to stay togather,but are driving different rigs, one truck will not be able to take all the meat for the group accross.
Do any Canadian FMers know a customs agent who will post here what the rules are once and for all? It seems that they vary from point of entry.

I know most of the custom agents on the Rainy River side since I cross quite frequently but I'm not too sure who has a PC. I will try to remember the next time I go across and ask if any of them would do that. Might be a few days before I go across. I just got home today and leave again tomorrow for a few days. Brian

You can pack all your food in one truck. When you travel, have your party line up to cross. Have the "meat guy" in front of the line. Explain to them (if they even ask about the food quantities), that you are carrying the food for your convoy. They understand and it is easy.

The same works for carrying alcohol accross the border. We always have the "beer truck" go first, then explain. It works just fine.

I've said this in other posts, and will say it again. These guys are not "Soup Nazis".

I've been bringing potatos accross the border for a long time. I've never been asked if I have spuds or not...........Didn't know till now that you were not suppose to do it...........

Since I've been crossing the border for many years, I've never had one single problem. I've been in the customs office probably about 75% of the time, paying my duty tax on alcohol too. It is easy and no problems.

Well, now there are signs up and they asked me 2 times if i had potatoes. The signs say no potatoes can enter canada. The US shut the door to the canadians potatoes because they have (PVYn potato virus) Its a Mosaic viruse and needs to be quarantined and or with the controling of the aphids that vector it to stop it from spreading. Now they say one of your viruses (US) could effect our potato production. When in fact i beleive they are doing this just to get back at us. Potato's are cheap buy them in canada!

Big G, You must have a large lucky charm in your pocket not to have experienced any border crossing hassles. In 30 years of crossing I would say about 25% of the time the is some problem. Last year 10 dozen crawlers were dumped out on the ground after a agent milked several individual crawlers for dirt remanats, Ihave also had to leave a case of Odoul's NA because they didn't believe it didn't contain a low alcohol content, even when we offered to just pay the duty. I work in Law-enforcement and this is frustrating to no end. All I want is to be able to get away and relax. And bring my lab with on vacation. As for the convoy, we have four different rigs entering 3 different points.

The only time we ever had trouble crossing into Canada was the time we tried to bring our own firewood - don't ask me why. The guard said we could only bring wood in if was stripped of it's bark. Then he gave our wood a good looking over and said, "Boys, next time leave your wood at home. This is Canada, we got lots of wood!" And he let us through.

Now coming back into the US is another story. 8 or 9 grubby hunters that ain't shaved in a week always seems to warrant a closer look. I will say that since 9/11 they seem to have gotten better. We still get a good thorough goin' over, but minus the attitude.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
