Anyone know a way to watch hockey while at camp or on the ice? What would one need?
Generator , satelite dish , receiver and a tv.
Smart Phone
I agree. Smartphone would be the easiest. Or just leave the game at home. It's only hockey!
we had 12 volt TV's out on Lake Nip in the on ice bungalos we rented, worked for a day or two bfor the battery had to be changed
WHAT! And miss a hockey game. There's only about 10000 of them each season.Quote:

Yep if you can't miss the game then stay home! No place for a tv on the ice or while in camp!
There is another problem. If you plan to watch the Leafs, not matter what your setup is, it won't be hockey you are watching...
Man did this thread go sideways fast !!! :)
satellite radio
I've seen guys with generators and tvs. hate the sound...
Agreed but watching the hockey game playing cards catching walleye in the ice hut.... Life doesn't get better
Smartphone + radio app.
Likely could also stream video, but you'll chew through data very quickly. I presume you're interested in the World Jrs? There was an identical thread last winter.
Exactly. World Juniors, World cup.
Lots of great hockey to be seen. Also, few people hunting at night at camp. Might as well see the game while playing cards and such.
I wonder... would a digital Antenna pick up CBC out there?
Cheers,
Mark
Words Juniors are my favourite sporting event of the year, i'll join ya.Quote:

didn't know that was even possible lol, i get like 4 at home
i just take a small radio with an antenna.
never seems to be enough hours in the day out there to do all the
things id like to do: travelling,setting up camp,fishing,hiking,swimming, harvesting fire wood
,cooking, cleaning, adjusting the tarp,taking pictures
etc. one of my favourite times of the day are in the evenings just enjoying
the warmth of the fire and listening to the radio.

I'll second that. The reason I go hunting, fishing and/or camping is to leave the digital world behind. Nothing better than hearing nothing but the ringing in your ears and a mouse farting...Quote:

The Honda Line of EU gennies are quiet, but expensive and one tank will fully charge the 12V battery. (4-5hrs at 6AMP charge rate)
Also you can youtube a homemade HD antenna made with metal coat hangers, it works awesome and I get 14 channels of HD in Ottawa and surrounding areas. Mine is screwed to inside roof of camper.
Talk, play cards, read a book.......listen to the radio.Quote:

Especially when you spend every sat night from duck opener 'til freeze-up on an island.
For the most part, we spend daylight hours outside. Evenings when it's dark early it's nice to have a little HNIC to go along with the warm wood stove, a hot meal and a cold one to cap off the day.
Why when I have a tv...that's like trying to kill a deer by throwing rocks at it when I have a gun...lol I actually have very little time to watch when I am at home so it's kinda nice..Quote:

My new camp has power/telephone and yes, I have satellite TV.
When the wife n I head into the bush with our trailer, there is no tv. Sitting on the lakeshore during a calm evening with a fire is our entertainment. We haven't even thought about bringing one? Besides, it's much more fun to whoop her at crib!
