Thinking of getting a Go Pro Hero 5 Black. Where's the best place to get one? As in, lowest price, discounts, etc. Any help would be appreciated. Sans stupid questions like why are you getting one when you can get this........... or I can sell you my Go Pro Hero 3, etc.

I think this market is pretty tight. I think you need to talk to London Drugs, Amazon.ca , tigerdirect.ca, bestbuy.ca

Buying gopro is like buying apple products, resellers have very small margins, the large discounts is always on the previous models.

I think the pricing is controlled by GoPro for authorized resellers. That's why you always see them excluded in any coupon/discount deals. Like Dragon-88 mentioned, they're much like Apple where it's standard pricing across all resellers.

I think the best bet is to wait for Best Buy or any retailers that offer a gift card with purchase. When I bought mine, I recall there being a small discount, but a $100 gift card with purchase. If you have a use for the gift card, that will probably be your best bet.

The Hero6 should be around the corner already. I'd hold on a bit if I were you.

Xiaomi's 4K+ is basically the chinese Hero6 knockoff that launched before the Hero 6.

4K+ pretty much has the Hero5Black beat in every category.

I dont thinks theres much in terms or suppliers and resellers of Vinyl in BC, I could be totally wrong, but I mostly just see either car wrappers or vinyl wrappers for like interior design. Especially if you're looking for something specific.

Anyone know where I can find a unlined steel barrel?

If it previously had oil in it, that's OK too.

Cheaper the better, going to build a DIY smoker for the salmon season this year.

May not be what you are looking for, but try Midland Canopies. They used to be called Midland Liquidators. They definitely have plastic ones. Blue and some are very thick. Not sure what they are rated for, but i remember one of them saying it was okay to put fuel in them. They had two or three different types when I last went. They're not on the website, but they do sell them.

Liquidation Store Vancouver surplus liquidators

I bought mine (gopro 5 black) for around 420 cad on ebay(US).
It also came with 128GB microSD.
If you got time to sort out all the biddings on ebay, there are good deals to be had.
Been using ebay since way way back when it just started and it is still good for certain things

Btw, guys, I know how to cook rice. I used to be sushi chef in my younger days. Futomaki is my specialty. I learned from Japanese chefs that were sponsored by my old boss.

When I make the rice, it is soaked in water with dashi konbu overnight and cooked with the konbu. Once cooked, I transfer the rice from the pot to a shallow container using a method that ensures no damage to the grains of rice. I then fluff the rice properly and flavour it with mirin, sushi su (vinegar) made from scratch, sugar, salt, and dashi. While the su is being added, the rice is fanned to ensure proper cooling and texture - brings out a shine to each grain of rice. The Gu (inside ingredients) takes two to three days to prepare. Everything is made from scratch. The tamago I make myself using a special square pan. The oboro I use is real fish flakes. Kampyo (gourd strips) is also cooked from scratch - scrubbed with salt, etc. Shiitake, unagi (eel) all made from scratch. I make ten rolls once a year (New Years) sometimes twenty, if I have help. I only make the sushi for family and very close friends, as it is really time consuming. Especially, when you want it done right. No restaurant can survive if they put that much effort and detail into making a futomaki. Everything nowadays is ready made. Everything I mentioned above can now be purchased in large quantities. Even the tamago (frozen). The shiitake comes in vacuum sealed bags cooked and sliced up. Same as the kampyo. All have that chemical taste, but nobody cares, as customers have no idea. Hell, average customer wouldn't know the difference between the types of rice (short, medium, long grain), let alone the quality (Shinmai vs komai, where it was grown and in what conditions, etc.).

Yeah.......... too much information. Don't get me going on manjyu making. I used to do that, too.

So, when I make rice, I have to do it right, which takes time. Because so many people think hey, it only takes 20 to 30 minutes, I thought I'd explain why I don't "just cook" rice. Having said that. If it is made by someone else or purchased dried/frozen, I have no expectations. The times I feel like having a bowl or two of "rice" to go with some takuwan, kinzanji miso, fukujinzuke, furikake, salted fish, Spam, etc............. nuff said.
