I can only offer something to help you along the way. I offer the driver's seat in our car ( # 33) for the annual demolition derby in Salmon Arm BC, this coming August. Of course, since I also operate a sign and graphics business ( Signs That Work !) There will be a HUGE red paper clip logo on the side of the car. ( And on the Roof!) And additional signage around the arena that seats about 3000. Crowd is better that 6000. (there's a lot of standing room..) We usually run a Lincoln Town car. Last year we made it through to the end but got wiped out in the last heat. It is ..."too much fun...". I'm thinking this is a GREAT photo-op for you ( and me)..no doubt there will be some camera crew following you here. Can send photos of last years derby if you like. And yes...there are some interesting ladies here in the Shuswap... Could also do a full-wrap graphic on your tour bus ! ...lol Good luck, Ken Beyer SIGNS THAT WORK ! Eagle Bay, BC kbeyer@jetstream.net 250-675-5380 Hmmm, this is a tough call, I obviously think this is the greatest thing ever, but I need to re-trade this "opportunity" to somebody else in order to trade up to the house....does anybody else out there have something to trade for a seat in a demoltion derby? Let me know, it'll be much easier for me to make my decision if you do! ********** My name is Robert, i am 12 years old. i will trade your trip to yahk with1 size 9, black and red Converse Allstar high top shoe Converse Allstars are my fave.

I have a snowmobile tilt trailer that is taking up space in my garage (well, it is my husbands!). Anyway, we have never owned a snowmobile and we reconditioned it for brief business use. All new axel and tires and many new other things that I don't know what they are called. I thought this would go great with your newly traded snow mobile. My husband or I ( we would have to fight it out but given that it is his trailer that I am trading out from under him, he may be the one to win) would love a trip to Yahk! It sounds absolutely amazing and my husband deserves a good respite. Cheers to your project! Regards, Brenda Thanks Brenda! Now if only I can find a way to get the trailer out to Montreal and a vehicle to tow it, with the snomobile, to Yahk. Does anybody want to drive with me from Montreal to Yahk - towing a snowmobile on Brenda's trailer? This might be fun. ********** Hi I am 10 years old and live in Abbotsford BC. I love your site.

A 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix SE plus 3 days accommodation in our home. We live rural style, on a hog farm & I would expect you to visit the barn as well. Lotsa people & animals....but all loving and willing to educate you in true Canadian work & life. The car runs well....we run harder. We also love to play harder;-) I very much admire your mission and it's conception.....I hope that if you can be part of our family for just a few days....my own children can see what is possible! ( I have a 24, a 20 & a 16 year old sons...and a cute 2 year old girl!) Kudos, Anita Wow. I've never stayed on a hog farm. Where are you located?

In response to the car & hog farm offer..we are in Southern Ontario....along the shores of Lake Huron. Fantastic beaches in summer...but now...Great snow trails :-)

********** Hi. I've been watching since you were on the fish pen, and thingshave sure taken off recently! Boy would I love a trip to Yahk - andI've always wanted to ski Fernie. I don't own many 'things' as I'm alittle low on the materialist scale (33rd birthday tomorrow and neverowned a car), but I do have some stock in a little company that's gotthe hottest gift item this year - are you interested in trading thetrip for a small chunk of Apple Computer Inc. ? say, a dozen shares -valued at about $1,000 today... not bad for a red paperclip. ;) Andcertainly liquid. You could sell it and buy iPods, or whatever. Orhold out for a month and see if it'll double again. I'll even includein a 1st generation iPod, purchased in Oct. 2001, 3 days after theiPod was announced. Kevin Kevin, I can't believe you're only the second person to offer an ipod yet in all of the offers - I think. I'd love to do a full-on investment analysis on the project. Maybe this would be a perfect benchmark trade to establish value to the tip to yahk. Or maybe the value of the trip to Yahk is immesuarable. ********** We are a high end mens wear consignment store in Edmonton Alberta. We will make sure that you are Dressed To Suit for any occasion and include a New Swiss Military watch and a new pair of Serengeti Sunglasses. Yes a total oufit of Boss, Prada, Versace or whatever fits and you a new watch and serengeti glasses. Nice, I only wear my sunglasses at night. ********** I have been keeping up with your story via your blog. Not making much mainstream press down in South Carolina. I thought I would make trade offer. The trip for the following:My boat named Dangeresque 2 "This time it's not Dangersque 1"1971 Fabuglas Tri-Hull1984 Evinrude 70HP outboardBimini TopSeating for 6TubeTow Rope for tubing6 Fishing Rod HoldersFish FinderDual 6 gallon gas tanksTrailerIt runs great and has caught many fish. For pictures, check the flickr set: http://flickr.com/photos/justinshearer/sets/1567018/ It'd be pretty cool to get some mainstream South Carolinian media exposure while fishing in a South Carolinian stream. ********** I own the Kootenay Country Comfort Inn In Cranbrook BC. I will trade you 60 nights of accommodation in my motel that can be used during the 2006 ski season. These rooms come with continental breakfast . For a look at all amenities check out our website www.country-comfort.com Wow. 60 nights? Now this is an offer. 2 months of funtential! ********** Hi Kyle, If you trade for the 60 nights of lodging in Cranbrook (the offer listed on your website), then I will trade you for 10 of those nights. I run a barter exchange, and would trade you a whitewater rafting trip in Quesnel BC for 4, including lodging, for 10 of the 60 nights in Cranbrook. In addition to that, have a look at my website at http://obe.dobarter.com/ to see some of the other things that you could trade your trip for. Send me an email and I will give you a guest login to that site. There are over $80,000,000 worth of items to trade for. You pick what you want, and I will make the trade happen. Cheers, Hal Tagg This has the potential to get so complicatedly awesome. ********** Hey. I just watched you on Canada AM... awesome job! Suppose your're not interested in trading that trip to Yahk for an autographed picture of Rex Goudie?...lol... let me know: Cheers and best of luck! Josh Yes, I just googled Rex Goudie too. ********** Hello Kyle, I saw you on Canada AM and I think that you are very original ! I would love to go on a trip with you but I don't have too much to trade. I play the guitar and have a extra one to trade with you but would like instead to trade my company and my songs to take along with you on your trip. I promise that you will not be dissapointed as I am very good company and sing and play fairly well. I also know quite a few French songs that I know you might enjoy as well as a few Native songs. I thought that you might appreciate my originality as well *S*. Well, take care and good luck to you. Safe Journeys ! Wolffy Theme music! The trip to Yahk definitely needs theme music. ********** Hey, How's it going...Saw you on Canada AM this morning, figured I'd check out the site. I think I might have something to trade for your trip to Yahk. I have a 1991 Cheverolet Beretta. It needs some minor body work, no big dents or anything, and could use some paint, but it's a good ol' car. Oh, and it's maroon! :) Anyhow...get back to me...Yahk sounds exciting. Thanx and good luck in your quest for a home, Chris Sweet, my favorite colour is Maroon. Is it a 5 speed Beretta? Do you listen to Maroon 5 while driving your Maroon 5 speed Beretta? ********** I'll give you a big blue paper clip for the trip to yalk. How big? How blue? ********** I'll trade you my sisters broom... it's faster then any snowmobile..... I bet. **********

Take the motel offer!

Anonymous said...

I would definetly take the motel offer for 60 nights. you could offer off some nights seperately to help you reach your goal sooner. Cranbrook is an easy sell. Nice golfing, beautiful scenery. It's a no brainer to me to take the motel offer.

tonymyles said...

Wow... this is the ultimate game of "bigger and better." I started out with a pencil once, and in an hour traded up to a live goat.

You never know...

Dang, 60 days in Cranbrook beats my Beretta hands down :( and it's an auto...i do not listen to Maroon5, however, maybe i should...Guess no trip for me eh?

I have been keeping up with your story via your blog. Not making much mainstream press down in South Carolina. I thought I would make trade offer. The trip for the following:
My boat named Dangeresque 2 "This time it's not Dangersque 1"
1971 Fabuglas Tri-Hull
1984 Evinrude 70HP outboard
Bimini Top
Seating for 6

I think you should take the 60 nights stay and offer them in increments of 3 or 4 days in exchange for something that is more valuable as a set or something that gains value with a higher quantity. I can't think of any examples of hand however.

Anonymous said...

I'd go for the 60 nights, then the 10 night trade for the white water trip.....but then again, trading smaller night packages then putting together a HUGE trade bonanza sounds like amazing funtential!!

Anonymous said...

This is one of the most fun things I've seen anyone do! You must be having a blast.

This is an easy one! Take the 60 nights and trade them off in 10 day packages, starting with the white water trip! That would give you a huge boost!

DUDE, do the boat or the car, and maybe the pig farmers will toss in a pig too. you could say, a car loaded full of canadian bacon. Or do the Apple share thing, but trading that would involve different work wouldnt it?
good luck. sam sam_102_@hotmail.com

I really would like to trade but I don't think I could give you anything 'bigger or better' than a trip to Yahk. Maybe if you didn't go by economic value, but I wouldn't if I were you either.. oh well -- I'll just wait for the next guy to come along and catch him early

Hey Kyle,

Some friends turned me on to your site. Here is my offer.
I will trade the trip (or something else) for a company.
Well actually the software, code, copyrights, and referrals for tour planner software. It is used by schools or charities or fundraisers who need to track lists of people, costs of trips/projects, assign participation vales to funds generated and assign cost per person and funds raised per person.
Works on PC and Mac.

It is listed for trade at:
https://www.barterworld.com/listings/details/index.cfm?itemnum=31592

Would be a great company for someone ambitious enough to sell it.

Anonymous said...

I think South Carolina would be a neat trade... and it would take you to another world... I mean, practically.

Unknown said...

It's times like these I wish I was the king of a small country - so I could offer it up for trade.

Maybe if you get big enough you could trade Danny Wallace for his country, Lovely?

Anonymous said...

Hey kyle, we already met in a party in laval.Don't worry about the "wanna be" who wants to copy your idea, nobody is going to give in to it!

Anyway, I have an idea that might interest you concerning the house of your dreams. You could approach the vice president of a house project developer and offer him to trade the trip with one of their model and that you would promote their houses via the internet and television After all, you`re already a star!!!

Bonne chance!

WTF, it's a huge fricking vidio wall with spares! You could trade one of the spare 41" tvs for a satalite dish and another keg of beer.

So are you trading the trip off soon?

I agree with thinking ahead...don't trade for the 60 days - Cranbrook sux! Maybe if someone offered the same deal in a hipper (hippy..?) town like Nelson, B.C. - now that would be trade worthy!!

Take the apple shares! A lot more people would be willing to trade for the shares rather than the junk you have collected so far. You would definitely encounter a different sort of people who will want to trade.

Return airfare to anywhere in North America is a good trade! But then again...Jen's right about the Apple shares. One is fun, the other is a solid gamble.
