It was about two miles in from the highway off a Forest Service road.

This happened about an hour from me. Definitely some weirdness.

Thanks. St. Elias Range, further east.

I worked on a couple of caribou research projects while I was in Alaska. One was with a declining woodland caribou herd on the Alaska/Yukon border, where we captured pregnant cows and held them in a 20 acre enclosure until their calves were old enough to evade predators (bears and wolves) to...

Years ago a friend and I were starting to research rivers for a paddling guide to NW Washington. One cold, rainy fall day we were putting in at a local river, and saw a steelhead fisherman across the way. I thought "what a miserable day to go fishing", as we slid the canoe into the water. We for...

Lots of chest holsters out there, common with hunters that carry a handgun . I haven't used any, though. The Kenai is popular Kenai holster Chest holsters

The general rule of thumb (based on a number of studies) is that wolves can sustain a 50% mortality rate and maintain their populations.

In the Tetons in the 90s, black bears were the #1 cause of known mortality for elk calves. That was before grizzlies expanded significantly into the area.

The "Canadian Canoe Routes" I referenced is a website, with an active forum--gobs of information for everything Canadian.

If you've run trips in odd areas like Kyrgyzstan, then you're probably in a good position to run your own trip if you have the partners. Logistics (and $$) in remote areas can be daunting for the inexperienced. I've done three northern trips of 4-6 weeks, all self-outfitted. The only way I'd...

Probably the Dubawnt River Canyon--2.5 miles, but we didn't have to deal with trees (brush, boulders, bogs, yes). But, we still had 30 days of food with us, so three heavy trips.

I've posted this before, but here's some crazy Canucks paddling the Grand Canyon in loaded canoes. Impressive. Grand Canyon canoe

I've paddled from Wollaston Lake to Hudson Bay, via the Cochrane, Kognac, Thetinne, Windy, Thlewiaza and ThaAnne rivers. Last year I paddled from Wholdaia Lake to Baker Lake via the Dubawnt and Thelon rivers. All of these rivers have a fair bit of whitewater.

I grew up in S.C., and some of my earliest canoe trips were to catch snakes on a local creek. We'd let them go at the end. I moved to western Washington after college, and it took me a year or so to stop looking at every step since there weren't any poisonous snakes around.

Use barbell clamps to secure the slider. Newer Wenonah come standard with them. Hose clamps if you're cheap and don't need to adjust them on the fly.

Fort Hall area? Looks familiar.

I have some Pacific Water Sports (probably NRS) nylon float bags I bought, and last used, in 1988. They're still in good shape, and still hold air.

They list the blade area on their site. The 8.5" width blade is 110 sg. in. The 8" blade is 100 sq. in.

Heck's Canyon???? Give me a break!
