Looking at getting one for next years canoe trips. I was wondering who here uses one and what their take on them is? Could I fit a 55 and 35 liter dry bag in them? Thanks, Alex

I just got back from my first week long canoe trip and loved it. We did the allagash wilderness waterway with a group of friends. I will be going again next year. I'm looking at getting a canoe oack and thought about getting a superior one. Are they a good pack? Thanks, Alex

Hello guys. As some of you know I am getting ready to go down the allagash river in July. This is my first trip like this and I want to have the best gear I can get so I can enjoy it. I'm looking at getting a good fixed blade knife for the trip. I want it to be a good multipurpose blade that...

Hello guys. I'm looking to get a new daypack. I prefer to pack on the prepared side, so that means a lot of gear. I have been looking at getting a CCS rucksack in olive. I was wondering if you guys could post about your experiences with them? Thanks, Alex

I payed 100$ for the alice pack. My price range on the quality pack will all depend on what it is. I'm not afraid to spend money on quality.

Well you guys were right. I got a large Alice, loaded it for a trip, and loaded it back into the box with a return label. Uncomfortable junk imo. The frame puts the load too far from my back and the space is hard to utilize. Alex

Does anyone here know where I could buy a woods canoe pack? I really would like to get one but can't seem to track one down. Thanks, Alex

Hello guys I'm looking for either a duluth or woods canoe pack. Looking for around 4200 cubic inches. Either a Woods no. 200 or the Duluth equivalent. The pack must have a tumpline. I'm not looking to pay an arm and a leg for a pack, I am interested in a good quality used pack in good shape...

Does anyone here use them as a canoe pack? I have been looking at getting one as a cheaper alternative to a canoe pack. A good deal or a waste of money? Thanks

So HOOP, do you think it is worth it to carry a now saw along with me? I have found with bow saws that some are awesome saws and some are terrible. I think a lot has to do with the blade steel. What brands do you prefer for bow saws? Also, do you use a tear shaped saw or the regular framed...

Hello guys. I great fully accepted an offer today to do a week long canoe trip on the Allagash Wilderness Waterway in June. In my excitement I came home and looked through some of my gear to get ready. It hit me: I have just about everything except a good saw for tripping. I really doesn't...

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a new axe with a handle made of something a little more indestructible than wood for longer trips. I was looking at getting the fiskars x15 chopping (felling) axe and I was wondering what you guys think about them. They have a 23" handle and I was wondering how...

Hey guys, I'm new to tripping and have a question that has been pestering me all winter. How do you properly balance your load with 2 people and gear for a weeklong trip? Is there any tips or tricks I need to know? thanks, Alex

This is the basket I use, it is almost indestructible and it floats when empty. Alex
