I know that this is an older thread but I prefer to add to existing threads rather than start new ones on the same or very similar topis. To add to the info here about poles here are a couple of resources for making custom poles and sets: questoutfitters.com/ https://tentpoletechnologies.com...

Doesn't he have to step on a pop-top first? Every now and then I still find one of those stirred up by a recent rain while picking up trash along trails. Lance

I'm glad it finally got there, Oliver and I hope you get a lot of opportunity to use it. That bread looks darn good! And it looks like there's room in there for another small pan. I'm jealous of your fire pit. About the time I finished building our fire pit this spring (complete with my...

Welcome from Pinnacle, NC. We've had messages between us over on BCUSA. How are things going now that you've had a year to settle in? Lance

OK, I have to confess that I've been a bad, bad boy. I should have finished the reflector oven months ago for Oliver (AKA sweetfancymoses) but I finally finished it this week. As stated way back in the thread we decided to knock roughly an inch off the length of my original oven. The only...

Glenn, the first three messages went into the spam folder. Each time I selected "Not Spam" and it finally seems to have taken as I just got a fourth message and it went to the inbox. Lance

The incoming private message alert went into the spam folder again......

Good morning, Glenn I had two private message emails go into the spam folder in Firefox. I replied to one of them directly in hopes that it would keep Firefox (or Norton?) from tossing them overboard in the future. I'll send a message to the original communicant asking for a reply to see what...

Nice report of a good trip. Thanks. Lance

Thanks, Robin Interesting website for sure. At those prices I think I'll order a tent and a hammock set just to see if they are something to recommend to the local scout troops I work with. They sure seem budget friendly anyway. EDIT: They have a YouTube site with a few videos, too...

Shoot. Too far for a road trip.... :( I hope they go to a good home. It's kind of you to offer them up. Lance

If the van has rain gutters that opens a lot of ladder rack options without making holes which would at least get you through to fall. I haven't looked at vans in so long I don't know if they even have rain gutter anymore..... Best regards, Lance

Getting very far with this would be purely aspirational as someone would have to climb over the gear and I'm not as flexible as I once was. And we're a decade or more past the "anytime, anywhere" kind of stuff. Horses, a cliff ledge during a climb, department store changing room and...

Now that sounds like someone who's paddled to the far end of someplace like Stillwater Reservoir only to find "tyour" campsite occupied by a squatter. Now that would raise my hackles. and it did once until I realized that a group had made an honest mistake on which site was which and so I took...

Nice write up, Mike. It's good to see folks getting back together now that it's safe for the vaccinated to do so. But I'm not sure the "No Trespassing"" signs will do the trick in keeping the undesirables out....unless you keep a pistol within arms reach as a matter of habit. Canoeists and...

Well, it only took eight months to finally get to Buffalo, New York and pick up the Mad River Northwoods. And we finally saw the now one year old granddaughter, a new to us 5 month old grandson and in a swing across Upstate New York we saw five of our six kids and their spawn and most of our...

I know nothing about it other than the ad but an Old Town Tripper just hit Ebay in the last day or so with an auction starting price of $350 and a "Buy it now" of only $455. The picture seems to be a stock photo and all the usual disclaimers and cautions apply but there may be a deal to be had...

Good looking eats. We aren't ever in a rush to cover lots of miles and I really enjoy camp cookery so I find myself reaching for a reflector oven, camp style Dutch oven of one of my old Bakepacker steam ovens more and more. I'd gotten away from all of them for years. We'll be home at the end of...

Oops, I forgot about this thread until a little bit ago. The Epic paddle I mentioned has an oval shaft and adjusts with a fingered collet with a knurled locking sleeve over it and although I was somewhat concerned about sand possibly being an issue it never has been. It allows infinite...

I'm going out of town in a few minutes and if I have coverage at any time I'll try to respond to this. Otherwise it'll be Monday AM. Best regards to all, Lance
