Did it the last week in October last year. Place to myself. No mosquito's.

Son's and Lovers - D.H. Lawrence.

Empty peanut butter jars. I use three different sizes for first aid kit, personal care, grapes and M&M's, etc. Never broke one, and as consumables are consumed make great trash containers in the barrel.

Well, as long as the river drops enough to make this happen I will hopefully complete my ill-fated attempt at the Missinaibi. Of course, if I see a single drop of rain forecasted I'll stay home. I contacted Mylene (followhernorth.com), the same lady who went up and rescued my gear the...

Timex Expedition. Canoeing, bicycling, dirt bikes, skiing. $50.00. If you lose it, who cares?

Thank you Erica - I will contact them today!!

Thank you Griz, very thoughtful, For those of you that have not been through this, his words are as spot-on as can be- "Then to add to the burden there are all the legal and administrative changes that happen to the survivor immediately after. the mounds of cold, impersonal paperwork you must...

Understood - need to pay what it costs. I prepay my credit cards before I leave on trips but always have cash for just such a situation. I've paid over a thousand for a shuttle. Just the way it is. I forget who said it on here - but canoe trips are time and money. Well said.

One Luci and 2 Petzl's

Going to get flown back in to where I abandoned the Missinaibi last summer and complete that one. Then, head home and after a brief re-group, driving up to complete the Cree. (Erica's TR hooked me.) In September or so drive out to Newfoundland for a month. (No canoe, just bicycles. Had...

Fantastic reading and great pic's!

No experience paddling one, but I was looking for a dedicated solo some time back and CEW recommended this boat. I am 240lbs and wanted a boat to haul my gear for comfort trips. Based on that I had to go larger so I went Solo Plus, which is out of your desired length. However, I have a...

Brings my trip to Wabakimi back into clear focus. Thanks for putting this together! Very nice prose'. Re. the axe, I have posted this before, but I always taught my Scouts, best way to avoid an axe issue on a Canoe trip is not to bring one. I never do. Glad you made it ok.
