Stories like this make me feel better about my decision. Thanks for sharing!

Fun report! My son and I canoed part of your route last summer (we went Birch, Knife, down to Kek, Gabi, Little Sag, Frost River, Long Island, out at Round) and also took a solo last year in Wabakimi, so I greatly enjoyed your solo adventure. Way to perservere!

I think it's a Grey Owl Hammerhead.

Well, I figure with winter raging it's time to close the loop and report back. Got the dream SRT a few weeks before my planned trip departure in July. Dave Curtis did the canoe outfitting. He installed foot pegs, neoprene pads, Northwater d-rings, and padding onto Harold Deal's (RIP) signature...

I took a brand-new Hemlock SRT on a Wabakimi solo last summer. For the first several days I applied duct tape skid plates hoping to minimize damage. After several days and re-applications I gave up. I do try to baby my composite canoes (I also have a Swift Osprey), but I also recognize that...

I was recently out on my longest solo by a large margin and was pleasantly surprised that I still liked my own company by trip end. Like Alan, I tend to spend quite a bit of time on the water. On my most recent trip I found myself so busy that I really didn't have time to be bored--and I did...

RIP Harold. Thanks for all your contributions to canoeing. I have been thoughourly enjoying the SRT I got over the summer, which served me well in Wabakimi.

Nice. I’m excited to follow this as I did a 23 day solo last summer in wabakimi, starting from the same spot.

It certainly can fit into smaller spaces than any other hammock I know of…

I have created a few routes I want to discard, but when I go to routes and click, hit delete, it gives me a confirm delete message, which I also click, yet the route remains? Any help would be appreciated.

I used one briefly, though perhaps not enough to fully gauge. It was very comfortable and I think side sleeping is definitely possible. I really didn't like the awkwardness of getting in and out of it given the teeter-totter balance point, but I think it's something one would get used to over...

Hi all, I'm planning a solo trip on the Albany river, putting in on Osnaburgh lake, and my ride to the put in just fell through. I'm wondering if anyone knows of anyone that could provide a shuttle drop from Thunder Bay to Osnaburgh (I'm coming from Duluth). I was thinking I could perhaps get a...

Hi all, I'm planning on a long solo this summer, bringing along a collapsible reflector oven. Though my meals are largely going to be of the freeze dried or mac and cheese variety, I'd like to make bannock and perhaps a few other goodies in the reflector oven. Being lazy, I'm looking for as...

Last week my bro and I just entered at Angleworm lake in the BWCA. Two miles from parking lot to water (well, 716 rods, I believe).

Flambeau? Water is high: gauge Great trip though.

I've been looking around for the pen style bear banger and have so far only found Canadian retailers that can't or won't ship to the U.S. Can anyone link me to a usa retailer?

This forum is a gem. Thanks, Barry for taking the time to take measurements! Very, very much appreciated. Barry, if I'm reading you right, your recommendation is to have the bow (and presumably stern) bags be about 16" long (from the grab handle/float tanks to around sixth scupper hole from grab...

Well, I'm in the weird position of trying to outfit a tripping canoe (SRT) that I have yet to take possession of for a long trip slated to start at the beginning of July (not ideal, I realize). Currently, I'm working on end bag flotation--see post above. I've been emailing with Shawn from Fall...

I've always been intrigued by the Mason firebox. Here's a lighter weight version: https://hofmanoutdoorgearsupply.ca/30-fire-box
