    New batch of No. 3 packs

    Something like the Granite Gear Quetico is structured and has a nice hip belt to transfer the weight off your shoulders and to your hips. The sternum strap also helps transfer some of the weight to your chest. I used one on a lot of trips over four years and liked it a lot. Might be a good choice.

    Ice conditions in Northeast

    Yes, I realize it’s still February, but given this crazy winter I was wondering what ice conditions might be like in Mass and Connecticut. I have a few days off next week and thought I might drive south.

    Tips To Deal With The Great Tick Invasion

    I’m currently a subject in a three year study for a new Lyme vaccine being developed by Pfizer. Don’t know if I got the vaccine or a placebo. Time will tell.

    New batch of No. 3 packs

    Good suggestions, Glenn. I have added additional photos to my post. Thanks. Also, no pocket. No. 3 "map" pockets were not under the flap but on the inside face of the pack. I personally do not find the pockets useful and so have not included one. I certainly don't mean any offense to those who...

    What are your current solo canoes and how do you like them?

    Have one for sale. It has its share of use marks but is still a solid canoe. Bought it to do the Debsconeag loop and it was perfect for that. These days I’m obsessed with my wood canvas canoes so letting the Echo go. I’d let it go for $800 to a forum member.

    BWCA Permits

    This would put the BWCA out of reach of poor people. They would not be able to afford the deposit, even if it was returned upon arrival. How do they do it in Algonquin and other Ontario provincial parks?
