While the women are cleaning up the kitchen and dining room, the men are supposed to fix the patio floorboards. However, the men decide to help Jack with his inventory instead, which the women know is just an excuse to hang out at Jack's warehouse and do nothing, despite Jack truly needing the monumental task of the inventory completed. During that chore and seeing all Bert's technological gadgets, John and Jesse get into an argument, not only about the lack of ingenuity of each compared to their RCMP and First Nations ancestors respectively, but also about doing things using the latest technology versus traditional methods during pre-technology days. John believes the former is superior while Jesse believes the latter superior. As such, they make a bet, with Graham being John's partner and Pat being Jesse's partner: Nick will drop them off at an undisclosed location in the mountains, and without using the road as navigation, they are to make their way back into town, John with his plethora of technological gadgets, and Jesse using old fashioned First Nation's know how. The losing team is to fix the floorboards on their own. As the race progresses, John and Jesse find that the mentality of their partner is the exact opposite of their own. But they may find that there are other more important issues in life besides winning. Meanwhile, the women decide to take the matter of chore day into their own hands. Written by Huggo See less
