I tried some dehydrated ground beef last year and it turned out well. I also tried some of that pre cooked bacon stuff that does not need refrigeration, it wasn't bad. Salami or anything I see hanging at the local butcher is a great idea. Any favourites dry sausage? What are you bringing? How...

I am interested in taking some dry meats with me this summer. I hear people talk about bringing dry sausage but I am unsure what exactly people are bringing. What do you bring with you that will keep during those hot humid days of summer?

Looks like a great time. Reminded me a bit of the Grinch trying to haul his sled up Mt. Crumpet when you were slipping up the hill pulling the 9' beast!

Beautiful fish Beaver!

I find using a depth finder invaluable on a new lake. Fishing a new lake this summer for splake would have had us spending many hours fishing unproductive waters. With it we were able to find some nice deep channels relatively quickly and concentrate our fishing where the fish were. You can see...

Wingnut I have used a similar system before. I am not sure if he used a pulley or a carabiner in the center or not, if not that is what I am looking at trying this year. I also find I get a lot of sag in my rope from the very heavy barrel. I am switching to an Amsteel rope this year hoping to...

​I will definitely test out this method. Ever try it with a pulley instead of carabiner 1? ​Both pulley suggestions seem better than the ones I am seeing at the box stores.

​I have not heard of any restrictions. Possibly in some of the provincial parks up here, but I primarily go canoeing/camping in areas of crown land.

In the past, I have thrown a rope over a tall branch and dragged my heavy barrel up into the canopy. It is quite heavy on longer trips. I thought about using a pulley or pulley system of some kind this next year. Any suggestions on how to rig/tie this up and especially what type of pulley? I...

I love mine. Pairs with my cell phone easily, battery life is great as it only need to be on a few minutes each day. Allows me to communicate with any one I need to, but I can do it on a phone like I normally would. I do have a bio-light that charges when needed but I seldom use it for charging...

Are these students from your Outers club only, or do you have some students from the co-op option there as well? How is the new programme running?

I am captivated. Can't wait for the next installment!

Great trip report. Crazy weather. Reminds me of my trip in two years ago, cold and raining. Thought we were going to get hypothermia in July. I can't wait to get back in there on July 5th!

I also use the blue barrel. Bag idea sounds good because I hate having to dig for stuff. I cut and attached a piece of foam exercise mat to the top to make it a more comfortable seat.

Odyssey that sounds like an awesome way to spend a day... Memaquay great news about the forestry company and their willingness to help preserve the portages. It was hard looking at what was left of the old one. I know it is a necessary evil and I sure kill my fair share of trees here at...

Will Faubert somehow allow you to connect to Geraldton or is this for a different route?

My parents have a cottage on the French. Anywhere that you can get a boat onto is very busy now. There are some great spots to canoe though that you won't see very many people. Fall is my favourite time as the colours of the leaves look great against all of that ragged granite. This was a...

No Title We found that when it is flooded more than usual and you can leave the channel to explore, look under the surface of the water at the fine vegetation...it always points towards the outlet at the Nottawasaga River. That would not ne a fun place to overnight. Not much dry land! We know...

4 of us went for our annual day trip into the Minesing Wetlands. The weather was finally perfect. This is one of those paddles that most people ignore. The idea of paddling through a swamp doesn't sound like a great idea to many. We put in at the Willow Creek landing. This is a relatively...

"Don't drive after the sun sets in moose country....:o" This was a bit of a joke as I hit one two years ago heading north to Greenstone. When its your time to hit one, there is nothing you can do to prevent it. I was driving much slower than the speed limit, head lights were great etc...
