I head off to the Adirondack Park Siamese Ponds Wilderness on a solo winter camping trip using my custom made Snoskishoes to haul my 9' toboggan loaded with gear. I set up base camp, collect my stashed, cut, split, and seasoned maple hardwood, eat well, enjoy my evenings, do some ice fishing...

It was great meeting Snapper, GreenFrog, bcelect, and others on this trip. I only attended for the day with a young friend of the family (I'll be heading out for a solo trip next week). Here is my video take on this trip: https://youtu.be/cLqCIddgRFs

Mora makes excellent carving knifes and they are reasonably priced. https://morakniv.se/en/produkter/ they are offered online from many companies here in north america.

It is http://thermasleeper.com/shop and works well when sleeping to keep the cold that seeps in the back wall off your head although I don't use it much anymore. I've gone to wearing my Buff. It's an entirely different and open experience using the vinyl door. A must have in my opinion. This...

I was wondering why he was collecting all that plastic on the Algonquin trip this summer for.... Have a fun and safe rendezvous... I would have considered coming however it's the last weekend of deer season in the northern tier i.e. the Adirondacks and I have to go one more time.

GreenFrog, I have an older Snowtrekker 8 x 12 Exp Crew tent that I now use as my "solo" tent. Here is a link to a video of it showing the interior space with 1 cot. You can easily fit another cot on the opposite long wall. Maybe even a third cot, lengthwise, in the middle but I would suspect...

Both at times. During the snow less season I usually use a cot with an Exped SynMat 7 mattress and during the snow season I'll just use the Exped SynMat 7 on top of the tarp, which is on top of the snow (we can't cut boughs here in the Adirondacks for flooring). GreenFrog have you joined...

Awesome.

I chuckled a bit reading the “"did you exchange any skills" question. Robin, I'm headed in Nov 11 (although by motor boat) for 10 days hunting with someone you almost hooked up with in the past… I'll PM you. Also you should post your "boots up" photo you posted on ADK forum, which is an...

That poll tells me it's all downhill from here!

Absolutely!

Hey Green Frog, really nice video and trip report. I've sub'd onto your channel. You might be interested in these forums as well: http://www.adkforum.com/index.php? & http://www.wintertrekking.com/community/index.php Several members here are also members on them.

Nice. I'd like to do a canoe/hunting trip combo like that one day... If I'm luck I'll make it happen. Thanks for posting your trip report Canotrouge.

Thanks for the compliment. Hoop's channel (50/50 winter/canoe tripping videos) and his forum (http://www.wintertrekking.com/community/index.php) had a lot of influence and inspiration for me: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjc...b39x0N-JDI8KRw

bold/underline added for emphasis Alan, you have lived and described that craving we all have... I'm enjoying this report/trip very much. Thanks again for writing this up.

Awesome trip and reporting. I am thoroughly enjoying it. Thank you for taking the time to write this up. This trip stirs in me a deep desire and provides an incentive to do something similar... maybe not the 40+ days but I could see going for 20 days somewhere up north.

Nice list you have there Mike. Here are two that come to my mind: After leading a group trip of 4 canoes and 4 kayaks on a day trip to Branch Pond in the Vermont Green Mountains using an outfitters boats and trailer and "knowing" I double checked the tie downs we arrived back at the outfitters...

Boy I like that idea...

Good idea Robin. I hope you get to stash plenty of firewood for deer season! ;)
