Bunch of savages.......I carry a small Bialetti stove top espresso maker. On the woodstove, campstove, or a 3 rock fire it will make a hot cup of Coffee goodness, with the "Crema". If espresso isn't your thing, just add hot water to make an Americano.

This is why we take on trips like that. Planning, problem solving, danger, hardship - ADVENTURE! Excellent post.

Welcome Tom. I'm just SE of you in Portage, IN. I just found this site a few months ago. Great people here.

No Title I use the straps and buckles usually found with canoe foam block arrangements. I also use Orange pool noodles a lot. I mount the canoe bow forward with a strap running from the left front undercarriage, through the bow handle and down under the right undercarriage. I use pieces of...

A Fly Rod of Your Own - John Gierach Left of Bang - Patrick Van Horne

I started with a 123 which I kept through high school, college and the military. In the early 90's I bought a Sierra Stove at Campmor on a trip to NJ. For those of you who aren't familiar, it is a twig stove that has a fan underneath and it runs like a blacksmith forge. That stove still runs...

Robin, WIth my daughters I used a NEBO Nylon Pyramid tent which is floorless and sets up tquick with one center pole. Add a piece of carpet and a 7 Gallon tall bucket with a toilet seat on it. Just throw some pine needle or other dander in the bottom of the bucket and it's easy to dump into...

That was a fine ride. I lived in SW Georgia for a few years and enjoyed the bass and bream fly fishing there.

Interesting boot story. 35 years ago I was in college and with my future wife (unknown to me) when I came across a sale on Timberland boots. This was back when Timberland boots were used by outdoorsmen and people in the trades. I got an insulated 8" boot with Vibram soles in medium brown. I...

Aleve in the AM or sometimes at night. And ALWAYS have a small bottle of Biofreeze roll-on. That stuff is magic for sore muscles and pulled muscles.

I'm originally from NYC, so living in NW Indiana there is nothing really noteworthy. If you venture into Chicago, it's deep dish pizza (many to choose from) BBQ (Rub's Back country BBQ - wood fired ontly!!) and Italian Beef on Taylor st. Muskrat - Imo's Toasted Ravioli in our town is pure...

Like a bear Pinata! 8^)

Those boats will not track well, their stripes and arrows do not face the same direction. I thought everybody knew that!

B Birch - Yes, That is an old Heddon #10 Blue Waters model. It seems to throw 6-7 DT Wt. line best. NOt my "go to" rod, as it's heavy for a long day of casting, but I love the smell of it and the soft action of that rod. Memaquay - I would have enjoyed a visit! I am coming up with my lab...

PFFFT,,,,,, I only use finest silk for my center console rugs....

My last trip to ON, I brought a six pack of Amber Ales and a bottle of Cabernet. Had one beer at each dinner, gave two away and never opened the wine. Just too busy to get toasted and wanted to be fresh in the AM.

No Title B. Birch, Sure, I'll give you directions to the best brookie ponds... "It's easy to find..YOU CAN"T MISS IT!!" Just kidding, I'll send you a PM with some ideas of where to stay, etc. Now that I've dialed some of this is, I'm going back in October with the Labradog to shoot some...

No Title THe next 3 days were spent searching for brookies, which I finally found a pond full of. A few Pike were landed and some truly huge specimens made off with my flies and leader. They will pay in the falll......... After hitting the wrong lake with no fish on Day 1 ("You can't misss...

No Title Got to the camp where I would base my day trips out of and settle on a nice point on Pasha Lake. Set up the Lavvu, got the stove going an had a night paddle. NO fishies that night, but I was serenaded by loons and frogs as I drifted to sleep by the stove light

No Title THis was my first trip after shattering my heel and 5 surgeries that resulted last September. The need to be independent was on me, so following my 4.5 hour rehab session, I took off for new country. I had never done the drive from Duluth along the West shore of Superior. Pretty...
