Sigh. They babied down the BMQ/SQ in Shilo since I did mine in 02. First year there, they were building the classrooms as we started the training. The drive from the shacks to the school? We marched that. 2.7 clicks. Excellent PT, but we lost 6 people due to blisters, one guy's entire foot was a blister.
When you go to the field, bring your warm kit. Its blistering during the day, and freezing at night, especially when you're tired. Don't need the double sleeping bag, but the ranger blanket, toque and scarf + thermals are life savers.
If you get a nice big thunderstorm, turn out the lights in your room and watch. Its simply spectacular. I've never seen so much lightning and rain, being from southern Ontario. Northern lights are pretty cool too, you'll see those in the field if its not cloudy.
Overall, have fun. There's worse places to do your basic, and if you're lucky, you only have to go back once for your PLQ. Apparently Dundurn was a bigger hole than Shilo...
