Shape files are ESRI vector data formatted for storing the location, shape, and attributes of geographic features like a point or outline that contains one feature which is overlayed onto some mapping program like ESRI GIS program. Some handheld GPS units can import these files that overlay onto...

Thanks for the suggestions. I have Jeff's map and based on it I'm creating a Shape file of campsites/routes. The campsite locations will be location estimates but useful to have on the GPS unit along with the paper map.

I've done a good bit of internet searching and have found some good GIS resources for Algonquin Park including a shape file of canoe routes. I am interested in locating a shape file of campsite locations of Algonquin Park. Is there anyone that might know where I might find a GIS Shape file of...

Nice trip report and great photos. That is the first time I've seen a "true" fire pit. Are they commonly built/dug that way out there?

Nice job Alan. Question: I see you have some liquid container bags with screw caps. Where might one procure them? Never mind... I found some.

a failed attempt to transform to carbon fiber...

Long story short: One of our neighbors are Mormons and we order bulk freeze dried "prepper" (not that I'm a hard core prepper) foods through them from Provident Pantry but you can buy single 22 oz cans of most everything though Amazon. http://www.happypreppers.com/Provident-Pantry.html

Yes, I put them together and use a Ziploc vacuum sealer. I have no idea on the cost comparison to Mountain House but would guess it's less expensive putting them together yourself. More cost on the initial purchases but less in the long run and I control the ingredients which means I usually add...

No Title Re what's on the menu: For suppers I'll be picking from my current inventory at least one of each of the following: Cous Cous with Chicken & Veggies Thai Peanut Noodles with Chicken & Veggies Fiesta Rice with Chicken & Corn Cous Cous with Apricots, Macadamia Nuts & Chicken Creamy...

Man on man... stop with the spoilers... regardless of what is encountered it should be a good memorable time; loons or no loons, difficult single or double portages or not, rain or shine, wind or calm. Or 4 to 5.59 miles of portages...

So then maybe I should pack my flute?

I asked Coldfeet and I'm in on this trip. I'm looking forward to it.

I am in total agreement...almost. The only disagreement is I would substitute the rum for some smoked maple Kentucky whiskey on ice. I enjoyed the photos and report. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome craftsmanship. Thanks for posting.

Very nice trip report. Thanks for posting. Questions: Did you fish at all? How were, if any, the blackflies (although I'm thinking they were not out yet)? Do you think you could have packed differently somehow so you wouldn't had to do a double carry or was it truly a question of not being in...

While recently surfing the internet about Algonquin Park canoe/trout fishing trips I came across Shawn James YouTube channel and website: MySelfReliance.com. He had done some modifications to his Swift canoe for a yoke and rod holder that would work for my Placid Boatworks Spitfire as well...

No Title For the unskilled and for the price, unfinished, I don't think you can beat this (I have two of them myself): http://poleandpaddle.com/merchandise/wannigans

No Title I have this Beaver Tree Camp Kitchen but only use it family camping. It fits in my Old Town Penobscot 16' just fine, holds a lot of kitchen gear, and it's organized. The removable lid doubles as a wash/sink basin. It will store everything you seen in the photo an more.

I never thought I would like a "smart cell phone" but I do and it's not for the phone part. Here are my top 3 reasons I like my smart phone: I have the Memory Map App on it and have several northeast states USGS 1:24000 topo maps on the phone. From my computer I can plan and export way points...

Thanks sweeper and Robin. Robin I like your statement and I'm going to look into this area more. If you have any additional information on the GLS area i.e. your route I'd appreciate it.
