Years ago I took the Everglades National Park boat tour in Chokoloskee Bay. The guide, following I am certain are the guidelines, told us where all the life jackets were stored. But, he added on his own I’m sure, if the boat sinks, we will not need them. The boat will settle to the bottom in...

Welcome.

I spent several hours checking each and every tent and company suggested here. Thank you all!!!! While there are many fine tents suggestions, some of them are no longer available or are sold out across many companies. The exped lyra looks great, but costs $700 from american retailers; only $350...

The Swarovski and Zeiss are out of my price range. I went to Bass Pro and looked through many different binoculars. I ended up getting a Leupold BX-4 Pro Guide HD Binoculars - 12X - 50mm. They are exceptionally good. (I will note, I refused to even look through the Swarovski and Zeiss...

Hello Aslowhand - The Venus II looks good, but is sold out, or available for $1200, which is higher than I can go. Hello Yellowcanoe - I realize some of the tents with mesh doors have a rain fly which will cover the door. This type of construction still allows wind to rush is under the fly and...

From what store is this sale? I do not find anything like it when google searching.

Wow! Thanks for posting. I'm fascinated that someone is building paddles from split wood.

The book has found a new home. :)

I accidentally ordered two copies of this book. I will gladly pass one copy along to someone else. Both are well-used paperbacks, but not torn up or unreadable. PM me.

Thank you Marten, I was looking at those tarptents. They seem to have quite an understanding and ability to sort of personalize the tents to the buyers' needs. It wasn't clear to me if the mesh doors could be closed with something solid besides the outer fly. Except for that, they look like...

I think I have found one. Believe me, I have spent hours searching on the internet. ALPS 2 person 4 season

Thank you, Patrick. I understand the problems with solid wall tents and condensation, etc. I've been doing this for more than 40 years. This obsession with mesh walls is fairly recent, I think. I am really too cold in a tent that has so much air circulation. I need to be able to close up the...

The door is solid mesh. No way to close it on the tent as far as I can see. I have been looking at 3 and 4 season tents. Yes, some have half height solid, but I haven't seen any that are all solid.

Something happened to tent design when I wasn't looking and I don't much like it. Somehow all the walls of the tent, instead of being fabric, are mostly mesh screens. I have tried these tents and can't sleep in them. Even with the fly on tight, a sharp wind whistles right into the tent and...

I've been using Plan B with reasonable success with my Colden DF. The web strap on the Mohawk is not at the seat like your Wenona is.

I've deleted my post. I just thought it was funny. It caught me actually trying to think if 1883 was possible.

Sorry I can't help you. Mine was born in 70.

For my trip last year, I asked the forum a version of this question, ie. what would you leave behind. I was trying to lighten the load so that this old lady could still do the portages. That version is still on the forum somewhere. You have framed your question better. I got replies telling me...
