Wow, pretty cool thread. I use my twig stove for cooking and coffee … or to use in my tarp tent to take the morning chill off. When traveling, I do not have, nor do I desire a camp fire. I leave early in the am and have no time for one. At the end of a travel day I am SO HUNGRY and tired it...

When I have been on long solo trips in the past, my idea was food makes every thing happen. Therefore, calorically dense food was needed. I dehydrate hamburger to aquarium gravel size and add it to many dehydrated pasta type dishes. I cooked with olive oil often and about once a week made...

Scary stuff. Wolves do “ recruit “ dogs away from their pack or family or whatever … to their doom. That was a close call Blackfly. Northern Wisconsin is seeing a rise in wolf populations, North West Wisconsin has a large population and Bayfield County has a particularly large pack ( near...

Great looking Dog TrailBlaser. Love the pics, look forward to seeing more on a trip report next month 😉.

If doing a long loop trip I will leave dry cut poles back in the timber for me to use on my return to camp near the end of my trip. If just passing through, I leave wood like others have posted by a fire pit as a courtesy and it could save someone, you never know. I agree with the opinions on...

Ever hear a deer snort and stomp their hoof at perceived danger? Well, a moose with a calf in the boreal … at night … right outside your tent is MUCH louder … waking up to that is not for the feint of heart. Glenn Lake camp in WCPP had me pretty nervous listening to the alarmed Moose. Spring...

I love threads like this. Dogs and canoes … people posting pics, good stuff! Jake and I go everywhere together. So here a some pics of our latest trips …

Alan, Day lake is a nice place, also has a nice supply of medium sized Musky. You have a terrific area with rivers and lakes to explore. Clam lake area is nice … but so is the Turtle Flambeau Flowage. In fact, there is an area ( name escapes me now, will have it later ) that is designated no...

Me too Blackfly, about 3 days before I feel dialed into the little things subtle wind changes or hearing the layers of bush sounds. Also letting things slip out of my mind like wondering about emails or my chore list at home.

Sometimes I get a little lonesome for the crackle of a low fire , the smell of the burning soft wood and the first sip of whiskey as I recoup from a long travel day. I enjoy the sunset and the quiet of the woods settling in for the night. I also miss morning coffee with my dog. We sit quietly...

Living in rural Wisconsin my family has utilized 4wheel drive trucks and Subarus for 3 decades. For us, the Outback has been the preferred model, although that is personal preference, I doubt one is better than another. The Outback fits us better. I will say the all wheel drive is extremely...

I remember reading some posts from Glenn about not understanding the enjoyment of winter in the North. As I get older my winter explorations become less arduous or adventurous, but I still have the love of being outside in the bush. Coldfeet, I recommend a good pair or Mukluks or a pack boot...

From one retired teacher to another, CONGRATULATIONS!! 👏👏 Also, a LOTN trip … good on ya !! You are going to have an amazing trip! I added two pics. One was my wife and I wearing snow snows we bought from Dave. The other was me with an excellent Anorak from LOTN … without my snow shoes...

Like Boatman53, I have no social media accounts … appreciate the ability to follow this story here. Thanks Robin 👍

Fine looking lodge!! You really have done a very nice job on this project, enjoyed reading, watching the progress.👍😎 Bob.

I can not keep up with her Glenn, that paddle and her canoe .., she is off and it is effortless!

My pics are not nearly as dramatic as those posted above. Exploring the springs near Crystal River Florida … ( 1st two ). Next two, Lake 5, Clam Lake Wisconsin

Well Marten, if anyone knows about huge Bullwinkle bucks it would be you!

I second that Martin. I have been working in the timber at my house from early am to supper - day after day. We have had biblical rain ... I grade my driveway with my tractor at least 1 time a week - often more. The mosquitos and ticks are at an all time high. I have been living in my...

Like Alan, I travel with a dog. Jake is as easy going as it gets - super friendly. However when animals enter camp his demeanor changes entirely. In the BWCA near habituated bear areas he has chased away a few bears. That said, I am fortunate Jake has very good call back, he leaves the bear...
