Thanks folks, testing it out today in my yard before tripping with it. I do like those charcoal chimneys that fold. But I’ll hold off on that for now.

Looking for DO ideas. Picked up the GSI this winter without legs. Want to take it out this week on trip. Any more recipe ideas? I’d like to try the pineapple cake. But the pad tai sounds great.

Erica, what you did to help a child is the highest blessing I believe to be in the world. I have a niece who is 10 yo now who was adopted by my sister in law and I can’t wait to take her out tripping.

Wow, very nice. Clear Water. Thanks for sharing.

Wow Alan, that was a wonderful gift. Sorry the marriage didn’t work out.

Staples not stitches. I’m sure someone here probably had a better leather man than the one you guys used on me. Didn’t pull the staples out but that hanging neck skin of mine tightened up some. And yes, I do recall you getting the front of the canoe around the rock, I was probably waving at...

when I met Robin and bought the old town camper we were going to paddle a river near him. I looked out the window and my eyes popped open looking at the waves. 😮 Robin replied “it’s a bit sketchy”. Holy smokes. Long story short, Robin paddled beautifully and waited on the side of the...

Waterspyder told me after we went on a few trips about this site and the moderator (Robin) lived close by in Connecticut. We figured there would be more opportunities to find out about new places to paddle. I like reading the trip TR and looking at maps now to see where folks are going. I...

Clemency mentioned in another thread about giving away gear to his son. I too have given away gear to my daughter because she showed a love for camping, hiking and paddling. Nothing I gave her was new, but all in good condition, I think. Let’s see BA solo tent Neo air mattress Older air...

Clemency, I’m lucky that my daughter now lives in Denver and she has that weight limit when flying. If not, oh man! She has her eye on a cast iron pot and lid that I use once in a while. Having 3 children she is the youngest and loves the outdoors. We went 2 summers ago Canoetripping in the...

Be safe. Temps next week in NY ADK looks to be upper 20’s low 30’s. I’m contemplating taking my Snowtrekker tent. Oh just one more time and say bye bye to winter. Would be a tight squeeze with all the other stuff I take. I might just put on my dry suit, swim and pull my canoe with gear. 😏

Congrats! All you needed was a veil and just married sign on the door! Enjoy!

Slept out in yard last night. Usual toss and turn hearing the trucks on the highway about 1/2 mile away. 2 nature calls ( usual at 61 yo☹️) ( I’m able to stand hunched over in the tent and use a bottle). weird dream last night and here’s a football name. Kenny Stabler’s name came up in the...

Johnny 5, always learning. I had the 4 corners staked down, 1 stake on each side and 1 stake at each vestibule. No gear was inside when it blew over. 3 of the fly buckles popped open. I wish I had a backyard cam to see what happened. Sleeping in it tonight because my wife is dog sitting...

Warning! Don’t you hate it when someone starts with that? User error! The rain storm included over 30 mph winds 😩. Guess you know that “ The marshmallow” went for a short ride. When I came home looking forward to seeing it dry inside it was tipped over and soaked. After 36 hours of hanging...

I will ask to see if I can take off from work for a few of those days. I’ve attended maybe 2 or 3 of those assemblies. Camped out around the corner in a buggy area. Eek. Robin I think and others camped out on an island across the green. Now I think about it I also stayed one time in the...

I have an old 9x9 Eureka which I love but that’s way to large for me when paddling solo. It is a pleasure when car camping. But old fiberglass poles that I’m a bit worried about.

Cool, I’ll report back sometime late this weekend and see how it handled the rain.

Forgot to add pics, already being called by friends “The Marshmallow!”
