I will second that darn - not my size either; I max out at a 10. What a great deal.

Yes, thanks very much.

I am missing it - I hope it can get fixed.

Personally, I like everything about the original logo, but have no problem with any of the changes to it. After first joining the group, I didn't think that it depicted anyone in particular. However, after I watched Robin's videos, a connection to the logo was made for me, confirming my thought...

Scoutergriz, I am in agreement with you. I'm not planning to cook in the StoveHut. I will still cook under a tarp, which I usually pitch as far from where I sleep as possible. I also have a Pomoly Rhombus Tarp Shelter and I am not planning on cooking in there either.

Although my 2017 Kia Optima SXL is a good ride, it prevents me from getting to some ADK locations so I am a bit jealous of all of you with AWD or 4WD high-clearance SUVs or pickups. That'll be the way I go next time around for sure.

I wanted to do what you guys did for my Hornbeck Classic 12, but I ended up just putting it up on the shelves. It is nice and comfortable up there and it beckons to me every time I go in the garage. My poor Sawyer Autumn Mist, that I have had since 1987, resides outside on sawhorses, under a...

Hi Glenn, I don't have it yet so I can't speak from experience, but I believe the front roof zips closed when down, so I would do the same as I do with my hammock tarp in porch mode - if the forecast is for heavy wind-driven rain overnight, I lower it before turning in. If it is just a drizzle...

Although I mostly hammock camp now, I decided to make a new gear addition - a Pomoly StoveHut 70. I like all the options with it, including that I can use my hot stove with it if I don't want to use the vestibule for gear storage. I especially like the open front with the roof and side walls...

My daughter and son-in-law have a "portie" - a portuguese water dog. When he was 6 months old, we took him on a 5-day canoe trip on Little Tupper Lake in the Adirondacks. He was a highlight of the trip - he did great in their tandem canoe and took advantage of every opportunity to go for a swim...

Thanks so much ErktheRed. I hope all goes well for you as well. What would life be like without dreams of things to come? I spoke with my wife about making an overnight trip up to the Adirondacks before my surgery but with the Covid spreading, I am fearful of doing so. Best wishes to you for 2022.

Thanks Glenn. Yes, no problem with sharing about my situation. Although I don't have the consultation with the surgeon until January 12, my cardiologist told me I have mitral valve repair and one or two bypasses, depending on how the surgeon decides to deal with the blockages I have. Right now...

Yellowcanoe, thanks for your kind thoughts and ideas. I know it will only be a matter of time before I get my usual "Adirondack withdrawal" symptoms and want to get out there. Recruiting others to go and share the "work" is a great idea. Thanks again and best wishes for 2022!

Scoutergriz, thanks very much for your thoughts and the information. The consultation with the surgeon is in a couple of weeks, so the information about what to expect has been only what I have found on the Web. I appreciate the personal experience info you shared, particularly because it...

My thanks to all of you for your kind thoughts and words. The encouragement is also appreciated. I don't really know what to expect (especially after the surgery) and would be remiss if I didn't say I am apprehensive at the least. It certainly is not the way I anticipated transitioning into...

I will be having open heart surgery next month or February at the latest. I am hoping the surgery goes well, I have a quick, full recovery so I can get back to canoe camping in the Adirondacks as soon as possible. I plan to retire in June and want to take many more extended trips than I have...

What a beautful jacket! I really like it. I wish I could afford it.

I do mostly solo trips, almost exclusively in the Adirondacks. Over the past couple of years I have done a trip with my daughter and her husband. Those have been a lot of fun. She had our first grandson this past June, so we didn't do a trip together this year. She is already talking about going...

When I take my Sawyer Autumn Mist I like to spend some time with a traditional paddle to maintain my strokes so I bring a double-blade and a single blade. The spare is stowed behind me, beside my pack (handle towards me for quick deployment if needed). When there are long carries I take my...

Depending on the trip and expected weather, I go back and forth between my EarthPak dry packs/duffle and my Granite Gear portage pack (with a compactor bag inside), thwart bag and mesh bag (both clip to the pack for carries) that I have had since the early 90s. Both work well for me.
