For anyone looking for a good heater I noticed Cabelas has the big buddy heaters on sale for 139$ not trying to promote cabelas just giving a heads up to anyone looking for a heater as I don't see them on sale to often

That's no bargain. Head to Scheels /Northern Tool......they have them right now for $109.   

[DR.SPECKLER]

scheels is US and it is reconditioned. Cabela is a good deal.

[Rebelss]

Northern is US and it's new and a great deal. Right down the street and they have a big endstand of 'em.

Rebelss, $109 U.S. would cost us Canadians approx. $140 with the exchange.  Then we would have shipping, duty, etc as someone else mentioned.  So for $139 Cdn at Cabela's , 10 minutes from our house, is a good deal.

[Rebelss]

Ohhh...didn't know you had Cabela's up in the great white north! My bad!  Better head on over there! 🚙<<<<<<..........

Not to be a thread stealer..ok...maybe I am. Have you considered the Mr. Heater cooker/heater vs. the Buddy? For about $120 you can get the heater/base, 5# propane tank and the hose. A few differences...1) The Buddys go out if bumped or tipped so tough to move around if needed. 2) You can cook with the Mr. Heater w/o mods. 3) The space needed to use and transport isn't much different between the two. And 4) The cost and efficiency. The upfront cost of the 5# tank is around $50. But when you think about the number of those 1# grenades needed to heat for the day and or night...and the need to dispose of the damn things? Each bomb runs about $4 each. You can fill that 5 pounder for the same price as 1 ( I paid $3.25 to fill mine). And, on average, it will last most the day and night ran continuously...of course there are the variables...same as with the Buddys. I have used mine going on my 3rd season and have never had any issues. Just much easier and practical for me. Ok...you can have your thread back.

You gotta remember this is Saskatchewan, Canada. Big difference is prices. But I agree the Buddys aren't always the best option. I recently sold my Buddy and went back to the simple Mr Heater rosebud.

Gee whiz, I best see if they'll send me a Canadian catalog instead...

I'm of the same mind Buddy. Altho I used to work the fishing Dept. at Cabella's,  I used to buy from the Fish'N Hole also.  I bought a Marcum LX 7 from them. They brought it in from alberta for me so didn't pay HST and because of the cost, Free Shipping.  My employer couldn't even come close.  Like yourself, I will gladly pay an extra 20 or so just to support the smaller Brick and Mortar shop.  If 20 bucks is going to cause damage to me, then I better stop Fishing and a lot of other things.  Never quite Molson Canadian tho.  I fully support their Family.

I agree Buddy. Or you can do what I do. Bring along my trusty Olde Coleman white gas 2 burner.  We do shore lunch with one all the time. 
I also hate those little Green Bombs. People leave them laying all over or just dump them down the hole.  I bought a re filler coupling but haven't tried it out yet.  I hear that they do work but don't get the one pounders completely filled up.  I have a Big Buddy.  I take my large tank and a few of the one pounders in case I happen to run dry.
