Thank you Glen! Yes I was inquiring about the older gear as I am attempting to put together my own set now that I have finished restoring my w/c canoe…but all information is helpful and much appreciated!

Thank you all! I was at Long Pond for three days with my W/C canoe trying out and attempting to streamline my tradional gear from yesteryear. I apologize for the delay…these are beautiful pics and explanations… this exactly the help I was hoping to find! I‘m struggling with how much I’m taking...

Interesting… any traditional gear you take..like old canvas packs, pack basket…etc?

I was wondering if folks could give me some insight,as I am new to the wood/ canvas canoe tripping, and would like to know…and see what you all pack for a weekend, week and longer…thanks!

Curious… is that a semi permanent camp set up… love the canvas and wood stove of course

It looks wonderful! I love the deer in the background too’ Enjoy!

Here are some pics of one that sold here in CNY for 300$.. states is was MR

Mad River Woodsman … they were sold at DICK’s Sporting Goods…, if I were to guess

I also tested Hemlock- Dave and his wife let me try anything I wanted for as long as I wanted at their demo at the park near Rochester.. for free… they even had free pizza! That was a great experience… great people. Lasting impression.

I have the eureka El Capitan 2+. It’s awesome… can zip up to full fabric inside…saved me last year in the north when I developed Covid in the bush and needed to heat up… it’s 6+ pounds… but super durable and reasonably priced… I paid 225$ new! Last year at Moosejaw.

So sorry to hear that…
