Mostly local (within an hours drive), I haven't come across anything that I can't get shipped or find locally to be worth the cost of going any further. I'm not sure why people are saying not travelling for hours to get something is being lazy. If you think sitting still in a chair for hours is exercise I've got bad news for you...

That's not what I'm hearing in this thread. It is understandable if someone doesn't want to drive hours. What people are finding amusing or curious I guess is that when something is offered for sale about 20 mins away in the next municipality and then they read someone write that it is too bad that they live in the next municipality. Like if someone is selling something in Burnaby and I say "Too bad you live in Burnaby" when I live in Vancouver, then that is a bit curious. That's what Brad is saying.

Didn't say you were referring to Brad for saying "not travelling for hours to get something is being lazy". I said Brad is talking about being curious about people who don't want to drive to the next Municipality. I didn't see the part where other people were calling others lazy for not driving hours. So that's all I'm saying.

Haha ok you guys have nothing to cry about.
Most of us here in PG have to travel to Vancouver for anything we want for our tanks. It's an 8hr drive. It's not the only reason we go but we must stock up on supplies when we do go. I've brought several frags from other canreef members in Vancouver area and have also transported frags from Saskatoon. So your little Sunday drive from let's say Burnaby to Abbotsford is laughable.
