    Bears in the ADKs

    In 40+ years of backpacking and canoe camping in the ADKs I have only had a bear in my camp one time. That was back in the early '90s, on the Oswegatchie River during a particularly dry summer. Natural food sources were scarce so some were hitting campsites up and down the river. It was so bad...

    Fears while paddling or on canoe trips

    That's terrible, I am sorry to hear about it and thankful I haven't had such an experience. I always take the usual precautions with my vehicle, but many times it is sitting there 5-8 days so it is susceptible. I guess I have just been lucky. It is probably safer at locations such as Little...

    Fears while paddling or on canoe trips

    Interesting, in 40+ years of canoe camping and backpacking in the ADKs, I have never had a problem with someone tampering with my vehicle or what's in it.

    Fears while paddling or on canoe trips

    Being windbound because of wind, large waves and white caps on the day I have to paddle out (and having to be back at work the next day). I had a situation like that happen to me years ago when I was camped at site #31 on Grass Pond in the Bog River Flow in mid-November. I had my Radio Shack...

    Not Maine but nice plan B, ADK Low’s Lake

    Thanks for posting the trip report, it brings back many fond memories. I have been going there every year or so since it opened, but didn't make it this year (yet). One summer I was fortunate enough to serve as an AFR there - got paid to do what I wanted to do and was able to camp on Gooseneck...

    Essex Chain Lakes (Adirondacks) Trip Report: July 2021

    Hi Glenn. Sorry for the delay in replying (I have been out on multiple trips and haven't been back on the forum). I have a NT-12. I way about 185. My guess was the portage pack was 30-35, then a couple of pounds each for the thwart bag, photo/video/sound gear and likewise for food bag. The...

    Essex Chain Lakes (Adirondacks) Trip Report: July 2021

    I created a trip report entry on my blog while this site was unavailable for me to post. Rather than create it again (in multiple parts because of the limitation on the number of photos), I am posting a link to the entry. In the future I will post trip reports directly to site (if necessary, in...

    Which trip report format do you prefer?

    I would like to have both options, but if I have to choose, I would take photos/text.

    Which trip report format do you prefer?

    It is still not working right for me on my (Android) phone or Windows 10 computer. I can type in the text box on both devices. On the computer, when the page refreshes, I get an error code: "nodeld":126812 and the entered text is not saved and posted. I also cannot dismiss notifications from...

    Which trip report format do you prefer?

    I can type in the text box now, but it doesn't work correctly - I get an error code when the page refreshes: {"nodeId":126811} and I still can't dismiss the notifications.

    Which trip report format do you prefer?

    It is great that I can actually post to the site now, but I still can't dismiss the notifications from my computer.

    Thoughts on a Mission Statement for Canoetripping.net

    This is the code I am getting after hitting Post Reply: {"nodeId":126549} Also, I am unable to edit my posts, so at present they are a one-shot deal.

    Thoughts on a Mission Statement for Canoetripping.net

    Personally, I have not posted trip reports because I have been unable to make postings from my computer. Putting a trip report together from my phone is a nearly impossible task. Now I seem to be able to post from the computer, although after hitting Post Reply on the last one I made, I did get...

    Trip Report: Little Tupper Lake, William C. Whitney Wilderness (May 2021)

    Rob or Anne probably. You said "difficult," I assumed you meant the conditions on the carry, not how hard/easy it is to find. It has been too long since I have been up there. Maybe you could get some info about it from the NYDEC. When are you planning to go? If I go up before then, I could take...
