I bought a great Big Agnes solo tent, really light weight. Bad idea! It's to tight that I can't bring in my boots. I should have bought the 2 person tent like others have said, but the price sky rocketed.

Wish I could join that weekend but I can't. I'm a member of another outdoor group and going to New Hampshire where I might just rent a canoe since we are camping in Tamworth at Chocorua KOA. Now your wondering why I'm going to a KOA camping and what group? (or maybe your not, haha) Well I...

Looking good Jim, looks like I need to take a road trip up north soon!

I bought a full Kokatat suit (minus the hood) from EMS I'm guessing around 2010 ($750) Fast forward to about 2018 I believe the neck gasket was split a bit. I sent it to them to have fixed and offered to pay the cost. They responded back that it couldn't be fixed because the inside of the...

Jdeerfoot, my coteacher has family up in Iron Mountain. I went with him a few years back to visit the area, lovely. He took me to buy chocolate from the Monks somewhere. Waiting line was 15 min long. I hope to get back there and go to Isle Royal. Be well.

Yes Glenn, very confusing life here. Wife loves NY area plus her doctors. I am tired of driving 11/2 hours to travel only 25 miles with the “zoomers” cutting me off. But our son wants to relocate to Brooklyn from London in a few years so wife wants back then. Plus my 95 yo mom is busting my...

The Indian's eggs were both colorful and yummy. Little dusting of snow Saturday night.

The Indian and I both had off a few days from school for the holiday and we donned the drysuits on and found open water. We usually do a yearly winter campout or an April/May paddle so with the warm weather and ice out in may sections we planned both! Parked at Axton Landing and paddled...

Rack on. Ordered the “Bull’s Ring” for tie downs. Going tripping this weekend NY ADK’s. 😁

Cool picture Glenn, you must have seem some great games over the years at UConn. Nice. I grew up near St Johns and got to see a few games in Alumni Hall early/mid 80's. I missed the Mullin/ Ewing games because they were always at the Garden but saw a good ones with other players. I moved...

Hi Drew, it was my first burn. Took a while for me to buy it. Saw a few friends over the years using it then I finally decided. Yep, bought the SS one. I didn’t cut the pieces short enough but will do so the next time. I have 3 small wood burning stoves. I really cheap $20 titanium one from...

Thank you guys for coming to my “aid”. Sorry silly humor. I totally appreciate it. Like most city folk and some serious rock and roll concerts I did fail certain hearing tests in the early 2000’s. My wife needs to cover her ears when I put the tv volume up. But like UCanoe_2 she continues...

Robin, that's so sad to hear about those passing. Small ponds by your house is perfect with adults there for safety.

Hi Snapper, interesting angle of the sun in the winter. Our side never got direct sun and had snow, but 100 ft behind us it was melting. Hope you had fun, the Indian was cross country skiing by Heart Lake last weekend, cold. brrrr...hope to see you soon again. be well
