Welcome, Lisa!

Welcome.

I just got back, well actually in the process of driving back, from northern Saskatchewan. My flight into Cree Lake was delayed a day due to heavy smoke from raging fires in the Northwest Territories. There was also a fire near southern Cree Lake. Some of the days on a three week trip were smoky.

Welcome from Florida (but currently in the Adirondacks.)

I’m familiar with neuropathy too. Hang in there. It can improve. No sense in worrying about it before it happens. You can paddle a canoe with only one arm. I’ve seen it. Losing the use of an arm or hand can happen to anyone in the back country. Just like heart attacks, strokes, etc. what...

Congratulations!

Welcome!

When Brad was preparing for a backpacking trip he learned some ziplocks will take boiling water. Thanks for all the comments. Recped, I suspect you burn more calories than I do. I don’t paddle as hard as I used to.

In Florida they call these "sit on top kayaks." Why people use them among the alligators I have no idea. But they do.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we ended up with a lot of 2-person freeze-dried dinners. I am going to use them on this summer's trip, which will be solo. I add to my dinners optional fruit leather, bits of chocolate. I don't think I can eat a whole two person freeze-dried meal. That...

I’ve had the same problem. Change vehicles and all of a sudden all new rack equipment is needed. I’ve got a bunch of good towers, etc., hanging around somewhere from several vehicle changes. It has occurred to me to offer them here. Next time I see them, I will.

Thank you, Ralph. I’ll see what I can do. Ok. I get it now. Navigation through the maps is by zooming in and out. And once in a block of maps, I can move seamlessly through them. When I hit the little squares, I’ve run out of the saved maps. And the downloaded maps are in the app, accessible...

I followed your instructions. I can get through downloading the maps. I downloaded 9 maps around Gull Bay, ON. Where do I find these downloaded maps? I tried clicking on the icons along the bottom, but that does not seem to help. In fact, I am now stuck in one and can’t get back to the maps...

I’ve done a number of month-long, remote trips. Everything Alan said. Everything PaddlingPitt said. Basically, it takes me three days on the water for the shake down, and then by day 12 there is a noticeable change in my state of consciousness. It is that precious state of consciousness I seek.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Thank you, Glenn. What a lot of work to keep this site looking as lovely as it does.

Thank you, recped and Ralph. I am thinking Cal Topo is beyond my level at this point, even with the kind instructions. Ralph, I am working my way through your instructions. Thank you. For everyone, it's like reading in a foreign language, what you all are writing. Even if I know the...

I found the name of the company that sells lightweight sylnyl tarps: Etowah Gear Etowah Gear Tabs are sewn in. Bag with toggle tie attached. Seems very good quality for much, much less than other places. There are some very lightweight titanium stakes now so you can take a few extra stakes...
