I took a tip from Maddy the Goose - I put painters tape over the batteries once charged and remove it when used.

Jean Lake, Quetico, the first site as you enter from Conk I believe. It's on a treed point with the tents tucked back in the bush. Come to think of it - most of the Quetico sites were like that.

I owned the earlier 2 man model of this tent years ago. It was one of my first serious bits of gear I bought when I started collecting good camping gear. It withstood the most vicious storm blast I ever had that blew another tent down on a canoe trip in July of 2006. My journal notes the...

I friend met these folks on their journey and passed the link on to me. I have not read much of their journey, but I did read enough to know others may appreciate the read. https://thedoctorswild.com/

Seeing as my adventure this past weekend was cancelled, I was put to work "cleaning" and while trimming down the bookshelf this weekend I am pretty sure I won't need these: So i thought I would see if anyone reasonably local would like these books. ​David Gerr - The elements of boat strength...

It would be great to visit and have an excuse to visit the BWCA as well as hear Alan's trip reports in person. Maybe Cliff would even sign a book of his or two. Unfortunately I am leading a introductory backcountry/hiking workshop that weekend for ten folks locally. Passports are convenient...

Guilty - I am a gunwale drag/lever paddler. .

I like his trips, watch most of them.

All I can get from the clip is looks like the wind was coming between head on to 30 degrees to the right, and raining. Tough for the bruin to hear/smell. I think he caught something on the wind just prior, but just spooked when he noticed the hunter. It doesn't look like predatory from what I...

Indeed it was Odyssey, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsCqmotxyME this is a bit longer. But I agree that he decided to pass on the shot and then the arrow slipped off. I think about having a bear rug - but I am not there yet. I had some 30.06 fail to fire with dented primer this year. at...

As others have noted at this time of year pad and sleeping bag are more critical. I was out with BV and I used my Hubba Hubba just fine.

I remember looking it up once when contemplating bringing my canoe camping across the border - I recall if your visiting less than 10 days or something it was not required - but that may have changed so take that with a grain of salt.

My recipe is adapted from the following lodges shore lunch. I have a celiac in the family so we use GF flour. 50% Flour, 50% cornmeal. dip in egg and milk place in very hot pan. flip. serve with bacon, potatoes, creamed corn, beans, & bread. I find I cannot get it hot enough at home (even...

That Tree & Sled pic. memories of my caribou hunt. I laughed.

I have a little primus type backpacking lantern that mimics the Coleman lantern effect so us citidiots can take the comforting hiss and glare into the backcountry. I do use it to play cards & board games in the bug tent whilst car camping and it was small enough to do double duty in the winter...

Black Diamond Ion. Forgot my old BD headlight once and stopped at an outdoor store for something cheap. Pleased enough with it. It has no switches - have to swipe it. That's my only complaint. Last BD one must close to 16 years old and still going strong - wires are getting older and cut out...

I never knew they came in camo, thought they were only orange.
