therealj you been to Kelowna huh?I grew up around there.Now I'm in Vancouver.Very nice but alot of rain.For you americans thinking about moving here I wouldn't,I am looking into going down there myself.Alot more money down there compared to here.And the people I met around LA are ten times nicer than up here.I was completely surprised on how well I was treated when I was down ther and coming home to the miserable drivers and miserable weather especially was a real downer.When I spend alot of time driving I get cut off,swore at and people will even jump out of their car to call you on here for the stupidest reasons,where down there they smile and let you through.I love it there and if I could would never leave.As far as gear and that?Apparently you won't get your stash seized if you are not using it.I guess they have to catch you with a pin in your ass to charge you.The gear is cheaper down there as far as I know and much more around so you can trade that off if you really want to come here.
