    Oswegatchie River, October 10 and 11th 2024

    The mice are out and about in the lean's regardless of what you have in them ot your food protection of choice. Little cuties will run around all nite, up to and including across your face. On some leans that get a bunch of use I'll skip them and tent it to escape these dudes. My best...

    LL Bean Hunters Carryall Pack

    Probably not - Chick and I pretty much stick to ourselves. No affiliation to any organizations or anything. We retired a couple of years ago and since we have been traveling, skiing, and biking, all the while enjoying retirement. As I tell Chick, if I knew how much fun retirement was going...

    LL Bean Hunters Carryall Pack

    I've had this pack forever. When in MI I like to hike in to trout ponds and steelhead streams. Keeps my stuff separated dry/wet. Waders, vest, fleece garments, food, water, it carries it all. Nice suspension system - very comfortable. If I didn't have one I'd buy this one but it wears...

    The effect of tariffs on the paddling industry

    There are companies I used for years right across borders that do this. They monitor inventories and drop ship.

    Training?

    Certainly didn't want to stir up any controversy. I worked construction before - I was unaware I was at the bottom of the construction totem pole. In my experience there were people doing tasks on job sites where I was happy to be "at the bottom of the construction totem pole". All a...

    Is Social Media Undermining and Distorting Actual Wilderness Experiences?

    I imagine NY is a bit different then BC, but I would have to say while all three exist, and the first two are certainly out there, I can't say there is only one other type out there. I have met many different types of folks in the woods. From 100% naked women, guys tripping on something that...

    Training?

    I watch those farrier video's that show up online all the time. Like guys that finish drywall, its art form.

    Does anyone have a canoe set up with a rowing rig ?

    I am interested in this topic, although I would like to face stern to stretch my back when rowing for exercise and facing rear for trolling. During covid I contacted a company (Wiseman Trading?) that had production currently paused. I got on the list for contact but never heard from them...

    A bunch of you are keeping a secret.

    I was big into them through high school and in college a couple of roommates had them so we made a big track, got dunk and destroyed it. Short version. Always knew I'd get a big, permanent 1/32 scale 14' x 20' track when I get to Michigan. BIG basement. In the interim, with the kids out...

    A bunch of you are keeping a secret.

    It's true. My discovery of this has been almost glacial in it's arrival, but it is a gift with many surprises. This is relating to my swing through Canada and Alaska last summer. It wasn't a solo canoe trip, but it was many miles spent in delightful isolation, this being due to the fact the...

    Lining Harness?

    I like the idea of keeping one pre-rigged. Do you attach one bow and stern or just bow?

    Larger Canoe: Tumblehome or Not

    PT, Reading back through this thread caused me to wonder, this based on some of your responses. How much tripping experience do you have? It looks like you have primarily fished from canoes. Have you actually paddled this 3 up configuration before or is this a new process you are working...

    Larger Canoe: Tumblehome or Not

    "Not planning on big wind or waves" Ultimately we can plan (hope) for a lack of big wind or waves, but we are not the final decision maker. At one point in 1989 Bayley Bay and I had a BIG discussion over quite a few hours. Bayley won.

    Solitude / Wilderness

    Unsure as to what exactly what it was but the amount of noise made over LTL was remarkable. We looked all over but could never see it. Finally, just by chance I got a small flash WAAAYY up there - I mean a spec- and could see the plane climbing what looked like straight up. My brother an I...

    Solitude / Wilderness

    Ok, I hate to throw this out there but in the interest of being straight up for the new cat, there is a base close by the ADK's and, depending on the length of your trip you might find yourself with a little entertainment. If you have not heard the sound of an F35 (or whatever it is) it is...

    Of course they didn't, but I guarantee you, you can take one tripping with three.
