Great to finally see that tent in action w your pole set functioning quite well in wall tent or baker tent mode...heck of a useable mod in my book. Adding in a woodstove adds a hundred new dimensions to off season camping!

Duluth has upped the ante (discount) by 15% more on some select packs...Originals, Utility, Paul Bunyan, Food Pack, etc. Not all packs, sizes, colors apparently. Sale good through September 17, certainly even a sweeter deal than what was originally offered and hopefully in the style, size and...

Glenn, I am going to nominate your reply post as " 'TOP FIVE CanoeTripping Post of the Year". Only, one problem, once you know what the prizes are, lol...

Holmes, thank you for your pics, very nice! My sharpest memory of our family trip was giggling over the name, "Grand Tetons" and what it meant in spanish, two 11 year olds barely able to contain themselves with near uncontrollable laughter and silliness. And when was the next ice cream or...

I enjoyed reading your TR, Pringles. It sounded like you were looking for a campsite but didn't stay on the second lake, Leigh, in any event. This is a TR far enough out of my adult experience, that it cries out for some photographs...! I have seen the Tetons from a speeding car but at like...

Count me as an early buyer at least 25+ years ago. The corporate ownership has really turned things in a new direction. They track and penalize your returns if you exceed a certain percentage. The offers are much less frequent and the gear selection has diminished and is much more mainstream...

I made the wife a cozy out of blue foam and a looser fit inner layer of reflectix, cut to fit the slightly elongated shape (including the handle) and she proclaimed that mod, 'the bomb'... the coffee staying much hotter during the 5+ minutes that she lets it set before slowly doing the press...

Welcome to the Forum, Dave. This is, as you know, a most excellent site populated by folks of every ilk, interest, geographic location, etc. With boating forever on their collective minds..! Good stuff, good people.

I reveal something of and about my age by this comment. I can remember feeling some sense of 'outrage' when I first realized city folks were sporting North Face Jackets, Marmot Mountaineering gear... hey, that is real gear, reserved for real outdoorsmen (and some ladies too) not just for...

Having grown up at the gates of Yosemite NP, it was always a surprise when my outdoor adventure loving father took all of us anywhere else, but the northern coast and mountain areas were a wonderful alternative. We were rarely on the water in those days unless we were swimming or exploring the...

25% off all Duluth Pack manufactured goods...through September 10th, midnight. That's a rare opportunity to grab a canoepack, bushpack or wool item, etc for a much better, more rational price. Plus they have some free shipping deal as well. It kind of tells me where the core business is...

I would have said a first trip or even a forced second trip back to the glories of the Trinity Alps was worth whatever the cost!

About 25 years ago, 40 Mile River country just on the AK/Yukon border for a paddling and float trip. The outfitter air service asked for the shells or firing pin of the shotgun that the group carried.* The group was divided into two and ultimately two separate planes to make a bush entree on...

That is a sweet deal and better for future projects (hope to see some future shots as you get the walls in and it outfitted to your needs) and making the wood and doing the 'raisin', all around nice build!

Add in the immediate effects of cold water, surprise and shock at being in water, the weight of a laden canoe and fatigue...not to mention waves, chop or wind and you have horrible chances of a successful re-entry except from shore. In many locales or trips there has to be an element of good...

Touche! Most of the Europeans who made the heroic months long sufferfest trips that opened Canada up to Hudson Bay's trading endeavors were tea drinkers. Coffee, coming to Europe far later, was known as "the bitter invention of Satan". :p Latter day explorers of note like PD Downes...

Some of my best camp memories are built around the 2-3 time a day brew up...! Sometimes just holding the cup, getting the waft of the brew and the first sip will take me back to some favorite camp or experience that is enjoyable. The boot that is delivered early mornings to my backside during...

Subterfuge, yes, indeed. But I gave it away quite early on! My first try was just okay. I made it with marinaded (hot and sweet) beef that I made into jerky then ground down to small bits. I added some ground nuts, dried and ground cranberries and melted about 1/4 of melted beef suet into a...

I agree on this one. Might be time to find it and add it to the collection. Anything by Doig really. His reality and take on it is engrossing. "This house of sky" "Winter Brothers", "Dancing at the Rascal Fair"... And guys like Rick Bass as well.

"...and it might be my favorite place in the world." Nice deal and congratulations on following one of your dreams. Hopefully it opens up another interesting and fulfilling chapter in your life. I am sure you are already deep in mental discussions regarding the layout and looks of your new...
