Mine - no imagination I guess

I found the site, I think from a post on another forum where Yellow Canoe mentioned the site. I like all the different subjects covered.

That plane brings back memories - flew on it at least twice. Great memories of past trips.

I've enjoyed this topic. The last long trip I did I was exhausted at the end of the trip. It was before the virus and it was a trip in Woodland Caribou. I told myself that was it, no more, too hard. But recently I have been dreaming of a trip to Quetico, nothing hard just a nice trip. The...

One of my children has a Northwind solo. He took it with my brother and I on a two day trip. He's about your size and weight. I was very impressed that he kept up with us in our tandem canoe which I think is fairly fast. We had heavy wind and he seemed to handle it well.

I had a Tripper for many years. I carried it on many painful portages. It was unbelievable how much gear it could carry, which also was painful to carry. I found that if it didn't have enough weight in it, it could be a little tippy. If the seats are lowered the primary stability is better...

I did the portage in May several years ago. I brought a cart and found it too wide for the area with planks. I would not bring a cart again. The biggest mistake I made was assuming I could use a cart and not planning how I was going to carry my gear, which made the portage much harder than it...

The last canoe trip I took I was pulling a heavy pack out of my canoe and felt sort of a tear. At first it didn't hurt but as the trip progressed it became painful carrying anything and walking up steep inclines. After the trip I had it repaired using the mesh type surgery. The surgery and...

I've used several methods to make coffee - boil in the water and strain, French Press and recently instant coffee. In recent times weight has become an issue so I have used instant coffee. I have found that a German imported instant tastes really good - Jacobs Kronung. It's not cheap but it...

Nice video. I enjoyed the cuisine too. Using an All-Clad frying pan none the less. I will have to travel to Seboise, but maybe with my wife. I've got to cover some opportunities in Maine, since no Canada this year. There are so many great place close to home. Thanks for posting.

Nice pictures and write up. A couple of years ago one of my sons and grandsons and I camped at the site on 1st Debsconeag. They fished and I just sat around. Later we walked the trail to 2nd Debsconeag. Carrying a Tripper would be a challenge. Earlier my Wife and I did a trip to Middle and...

Last year I was shopping for a camp chair at LL Bean. I sat in one and I couldn't get out, it was to low. I had to roll on the floor. but I looked around to make sure no one could see me - coast was clear I rolled. I decided to look for a chair higher off the ground and I found one online...

I rec'd the book as a Christmas present. It's fun to imagine their trips and where on their trips they might have gone. I try to figure out if I've crossed their paths.

I received a Biolite stove as a Christmas present. It's supposed to also charge electrical things that use a USB connection. Once Spring arrives I'm going to give it a try. It's sort of heavy. I've used gas stoves with canisters for the last 8 years which seemed fine..so we'll see. As far...

Spectacular photos - wow!
