My box arrived yesterday and all is in good shape. Thanks Mnoutdoorfunguy for the link. Slippery stuff! Watched Fronkey last night as a refresher! Guess I know what I am doing this weekend. :)

So I just spent a few bucks on ordering a 1.1oz Silnylon Hex 12 Tarp kit and material to make the adventure pup sleeping bag from Rip Stop by the Roll. I know BV orders from them so they must be ok. I have a MEC guide Tarp and had been wandering around the local stores looking for a nice...

Did a double take to make sure I was on the right site I like it too!

Grandparents took me camping in a tent trailer and they had one. Still smell them just thinking about them.

In the third installment I was going to show the two sites on the map and outline a bunch of map ones I scouted on the way back thru Dogtooth. Bruce's map's are really marked up from years of tripping - Quite neat actually. He has the years and who he was with on them as well. very neatly...

Just in time for the weekend! - Part 2

Hi BV, I can imagine trying to get into the little passage if the winds are out of the North on Dogtooth. That would probably require a route change or at least a stop on an island to wait it out. Its pretty narrow and shallow. It has pucker possibilities for sure! For sure - we can try it with...

Thanks everybody! For me its the rock cuts on the highway that amp me up when I head east of the city (bet you couldn't tell eh!) Spaghetti will be Saturdays supper but I kept that one on the tame side. Motivation to get on with the editing.

Hi all, Trips sometimes get planned at the strangest places. At a meeting this spring I was asked about taking a canoe trip with a fellow board member and his wife - potentially to the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA). As time rolled by the route had to be changed to one that did not involve...

Sweeper one word of advice - make sure that the baking shelf is halfway up the side of your stove - otherwise the top bakes and the bottom doesn't.

I love my reflector oven, I baked my way across Quetico in 2012 and really enjoy cooking in it. Sure eats wood though. I did not have the time to make one back then - and purchased it from a guy who makes them locally. If I would have saw the Gilpatrick design posted by Sweeper above I may have...

Hope I didn't mess it up. I posted a reply - then I thought I deleted it when I was going to edit it. Posted a second one and then saw both and deleted the second one. If I did - sorry - NOOB!:o

Too Cool Chris! You missed capturing that tumble on video! I have the balance of an elephant - so I won't be attempting this. to embed the link you copy & paste the url and hit the add link button next to it. (quick learner I is) :p

Hi Thanks for posting the link - you gave a great review and really showed the items shortcomings. I had never seen one in person until this spring but was too busy to take a good look at it then. This grill attachment was obviously cool and the owner loves it.

While on my Kilvert Lake canoe trip this past summer my tripping companion had this attachment for the BioLite Stove. If you are not familiar with this stove - Its essentially a stick stove that generates electricity and can charge items via a USB attachment. Now if that was not cool enough it...

Shower Curtain hangers. that's - genius! I have a bunch in the junk bucket - some are going in the Snowtrekker! Thanks Robin. Like your setups.

Thanks NorseScotsman, I had some time to kill while waiting today and was this thread came back to mind when I read an article in Canadian Business. It gives yet another comment that the move from what we all liked about MEC was intentional. While I can see a positive that they are becoming...

Oh Yeah, I like gear. I have found the odd kindred soul who shares the same obsessions. The downsides are that 1) you part with far more funds that one really should and 2) the oz of gear adds up to many pounds. I read somewhere that lighter weight makes for more enjoyable trip, but...

Wow - I can't believe I missed this forum. But then I have been out of canoe tripping for a couple of years but after hiking this summer in 30+C heat I came to the realization that I should canoe more and hike less when the temps get too hot. Was googling some route info and stumbled on a trip...
