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.

For seemingly far too long I have walked the halls of the Wilmot Cancer Center learning about organs that needed to be removed, MRI's that looked just a bit odd, and test results that could have been better. At each turn, Chick was there, providing support as she has done since we were both 20...

For off season I still do my power walks and will ride my fat bike as long as I don't think I will have a heart attack in heavy snow. My biggest problem is getting the back and leg muscles going again in spring, so I start out with 25lbs in a day pack and work muscles up to 40lbs in my canoe...

Random thoughts - We got on in Armstrong for a scheduled 9 am. Train rolled in at about 9:50. 1 hour 10 mins later we were dropped. It' s probably in this thread but the charge for the canoe was $100 - 18' max. Make sure the canoe is booked because they don't carry as many as they used...

inReached all over for 2 weeks up there with no issues. Chick watched arrivals/departures, arranged shuttle drivers, tow trucks, hotels, rescue outfits, police activities, liquor stores................. helps to be retired.

Not entirely sure, although i could probably get the coordinates from my inReach. About a half hour chopper ride to Kapusksaing. It was fun, but very similar to a bunch of other stuff I have paddled through. I really want to run the last half where it's flatter and headed to James Bay. I...

Yup - the ADK's are good for me in April and October, and by October, I mean the end. First half of October is waaayyy to busy.

Hello folks, Looking for a TR on the Paull. I did see some information provided by Michael (Paddling Pitt) but it appears the trip was shortened. I am trying to build 2 solo trips that I can use in the event I have staffing issues, as I did for the last 2 years. The Cree will most likely...

Eureka No-Bug-Zone but there are a number of similar shelters available now. I throw my 10 x 14 over top and ride anything out. On The Missainabi I just brought the tarp and an 8 x 4 mesh. I was solo so I hung it from the center and let it hang. Crawled in, threw some gear in the corners...

Been doing it for 3-4 years now. I don't bring a tent unless it's fall, and add 10 x 14 CCS tarp.
