Go to Ragnar’s Ragweed Forge on the web and buy either a Helle or Mora filet blade. Add a handle that means something to you. Ask Mem how he likes his. if you still want a pricier fish knife, I have a Randall Salt 7” that is all around handy.

I bought a pair of Steiner 9x40 “Safari” binoculars 21 years ago for an Africa trip and have never regretted the price, which was $200 back then. Yes, they are full size but a great FOV and rubber armored waterproof tough. I just had them out on a duck hunt off Hatteras last month; rain, salt...

Hey mom! How are you and the family doing? Hope all is well. I was planning to take the new pup up there for grouse this fall, but you got the place locked down! I am getting a Luxe brand Megahorn Tipi made with silver impregnated 68D tafetta. It’s a hexagonal with 6’ panels and a 7’ peak...

I just got a deal on a smaller hot tent and I was looking at the GStove from Norway. Anyone here have any experience with this stove? My Four Dogs stove would be a bit much, I think.

She is actually a Braque Francais, but they look a lot like a GSP you left In The dryer too long.

Thanks BF! She is a joy. I joined RMCC, a local canoe club, so I plan on getting in on some training and some overnight trips this spring and summer.

Well, this has been an interesting year. I have been gone from the board for almost a year, it seems! living in a small mountain town in Colorado, it was easy to social distance and still get out to hike and paddle a bit. I bought a used Mad River Royalex tandem with some rocker and set up for...

Small Bialetti espresso maker. Add hot water for Americano. I-replaced the plastic parts with antler.

2010 Suby with my OT Pack canoe. North of Duluth on the way to Nipigon

Here on the Front Range, weather has been sunny and warm 50s for the last few weeks. With the exception of a 10” snow that melted quick. The ice is beginning to open on Manitou, and we go out every day to run the dog and hike a few miles. Geese, mallard and Great Blue Herons are back. Have...

Any plans to come to Colorado area? I’d take it in a heartbeat. i do have family in Governeur, NY, but that’s as close as they get to Maine

Sonia Purnell’s “A Woman of No Importance”. Amazing biography of Virginia Hall, SOE and OSS spymaster in WWII France. She survived the war and transitioned to the CIA later.

I keep a 35mm film can with baking soda to brush teeth and scour a pan. “Crazy” Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint liquid soap will clean you and help keep bugs away. Gotta clean the undercarriage, folks! A small piece of Dial is with the cook gear to wash hands first. For me, wet wipes replaced TP...

OP - you have got some good advice here in getting outside, being grateful and positive, spending time with the dog. i lived just outside of Chicago for 6&1/2 years in the 1990s and another 14 years beginning in 2005. It’s the king of gloomy weather that makes a farm wife sharpen a butcher...

Wow! Am I the only one!!?? OK, I’ll take the walk of shame...in 1978 We moved to Connecticut and I was able to get my drivers license that year at 16. This was big stuff for a NY City boy. I bought a 15 Coleman tandem in “Colorado Red” and proceeded to abuse that beast on local rivers...

Doug, Happy you found an old treasure to remember that trip more deeply!! Nice when life throws you a surprise like that!

I'm 6', 250 lbs and 57 years young(ish) . I use an Exped Downmat 7. It is insulated and supports me well. Weighs about 2 lbs. It has a built in hand pump. Worth every dollar and ounce.

Gamma, Thanks for the kind words. It's fine, I'm a big boy and I honestly hadn't considered a lot of the points others brought up. I will figure it out or just drag it along with my OT Pack.

OK...….Thanks for the responses. I guess with my limited experience in coming across stashed canoes, I always say it as quaint and harmless. I wouldn't want to be SELFISH or CRIMINAL.... I guess I will look for a place to stash it with someone who lives out that way. Thanks for those who gave...
