I found some in Canada 'Red Bird' at a Canadian Tire Store. They work very well.

I haven't had a cigarette for 20+ years. I switched to Backwoods cigars, but then switched to a pipe. I find I don't use as much tobacco. I don't smoke unless I'm sitting in a pleasant spot and most of all I don't smoke out in the cold, so basically quit every winter. I also make offerings of...

@Black_Fly I agree with your first two but... 1. I don't paddle with a dog 2. I don't really worry about failing, I've had a few trips that I failed to complete the paddle/hike as planned. Regroup, Adapt, Overcome because it's all about spending time in the Backcountry. I look for bailout...

That's was one of the things I looked at. They were moving upstream to get to the falls.

I've been looking at that river, thanks for posting the video

I'm trying not to think about it, I need a hernia repair and of course, the hospitals are full of anti-vaxxers, so I'm on a waitlist.

A good incentive to get mine recovered

Just to hit the extremes here, I knew a guy that carried a 5' Broadsword while hiking in the Whites Mtns of NH. He'd whip it out for his summit pictures.

I was asked once by a local if I carried when I walked in the woods behind my house because of a long history of Catamounts in the area. I reply that I did not A while later I took a 9mm with me. It just didn't feel right the whole hike and I never took it again, even after some months later I...

Fjallraven Vidda Pro for the past 5 years. Great pants but they run a little small

I've had a lot of luck finding them for free. Several years ago I found a Large Woolrich Jacket in the free section of the dump and last year found another Large Johnson jacket with the local Rod & Gun club parch on it and a half dozen wool pants free on the side of the road at a house cleanout.

Sounds like this is spreading. I'm retired but was working part-time (when I felt like it) with another guy making Adirondack Chairs from Wine Barrels. It just got to be too much. It's amazing how much work you can get done around the house when your wife goes to work and you have the house to...
