Anybody have any good 2-3 player games for a regular deck of cards? This seems to have come up multiple times this year in camp with not much for results.

How often will you be moving? Different campsite every night or base camp and explore?

I find this all really interesting. I can't wait to see what he has to say about it.

Looks like a very cool area. How long has the state had it? Do they have any big plans with the area?

This is really cool. Thanks for sharing.

I had never been to Sylvania Wilderness before. I decided I'd do a One Night Solo Trip Saturday till Sunday. I've been avoiding Sylvania for so long due to how many people go there, and boy were there a lot of people. I saw 40 boats on Crooked Lake alone before I even got to Mountain Lake where...

Guys.. I'm not lugging a full size axe on an 8 day canoe trip. A foldable saw to cut trees (typically nothing bigger than the forearm), and a hatchet to split them. A hatchet is only dangerous if you don't use it properly... That being said. I appreciate the answers. 15 inches from top of head...

Boreal, I'll send you a message in the next day or two. I'm going to think about locations and get a list together for you. Robin, Thanks for the kind words. I'm still new to the video making process, so I often forget to record things like camp chores. I liked doing it that way and hope to...

Slippery Pete, Sorry about the shaky video. It gets better after the first minute or two. I'm new to the whole video thing, still learning. I'll be buying a bigger tripod this weekend. Thanks for the comment! Boreal Birch, Not many if any Brook Trout in that park. Although there might be a...

The Husquvarna website lists the hatchet as both 15 inches and 13 inches in the details. Talk about confusing... has anyone bought one or know someone that's bought one recently? I heard they changed the style in the last year or two so not sure if that's why there is the confusion on size?

Had a couple days with not much to do. Decided to do a solo over nighter. Craig Lake is only about an hour from where I live so it was simple to do without much planning. I made a small video about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkwqoQlTDjQ and more information on the park can be...

A buddy and I decided to try to take on most (47 miles) of the Indian River Canoe Trail here in the U.P. of Michigan over 4th of July weekend. We made the mistake of underestimating the 2nd half of the River and ended up having to pull out early and hitch hike back to the take out Car due to...

Thanks Pete

That would make sense with Gillis lake... I will note that I didn't really see anyone catch anything of any decent size and the ones I did see caught, I'm pretty sure they weren't even Lake Trout. But who knows. I've only ever fished for lake trout on Lake Superior so I'm sure my technique was...

Glad you enjoyed the trip report and videos. I have yet to run into any backcountry rangers out that way, but i'm sure it'll happen eventually. Hopefully I'll be slightly more prepared when being approached haha.

When you search for information on the Frost River you seem to come around a couple things pretty consistently... 1) Frost River Soft Goods named their company after the route due to how remote it is. 2) It's Challenging, and everything from the Outfitter websites to canoe trip reports make note...

I appreciate the update BWCA66, I hope you at least enjoyed yourself. I'm sure you did! Did you just go to Alton for an overnighter?

If everything goes to plan we'll be staying on Frost Lake Sunday Night and maybe Monday too (weather dependent, if it looks like it'll rain for a few days we may push through to Afton or Mora on Monday, then spend a day or two on Lil Sag, and then work our way back to round, making it 8 days) If...

Mike do you work at Blue Mountain Outfitters? Bought my last canoe from there....

The only time I do group trips I meet the group at a campsite. We pick a place and we pick a campsite off the map, and we pick up a backup campsite if that one is taken by others. We all arrive when we can, and leave when we can and if I get done packing up the truck before you're done with all...
