I do mostly solo trips, almost exclusively in the Adirondacks. Over the past couple of years I have done a trip with my daughter and her husband. Those have been a lot of fun. She had our first grandson this past June, so we didn't do a trip together this year. She is already talking about going...

When I take my Sawyer Autumn Mist I like to spend some time with a traditional paddle to maintain my strokes so I bring a double-blade and a single blade. The spare is stowed behind me, beside my pack (handle towards me for quick deployment if needed). When there are long carries I take my...

Depending on the trip and expected weather, I go back and forth between my EarthPak dry packs/duffle and my Granite Gear portage pack (with a compactor bag inside), thwart bag and mesh bag (both clip to the pack for carries) that I have had since the early 90s. Both work well for me.

In 40+ years of backpacking and canoe camping in the ADKs I have only had a bear in my camp one time. That was back in the early '90s, on the Oswegatchie River during a particularly dry summer. Natural food sources were scarce so some were hitting campsites up and down the river. It was so bad...

That's terrible, I am sorry to hear about it and thankful I haven't had such an experience. I always take the usual precautions with my vehicle, but many times it is sitting there 5-8 days so it is susceptible. I guess I have just been lucky. It is probably safer at locations such as Little...

Interesting, in 40+ years of canoe camping and backpacking in the ADKs, I have never had a problem with someone tampering with my vehicle or what's in it.

Being windbound because of wind, large waves and white caps on the day I have to paddle out (and having to be back at work the next day). I had a situation like that happen to me years ago when I was camped at site #31 on Grass Pond in the Bog River Flow in mid-November. I had my Radio Shack...

Thanks for posting the trip report, it brings back many fond memories. I have been going there every year or so since it opened, but didn't make it this year (yet). One summer I was fortunate enough to serve as an AFR there - got paid to do what I wanted to do and was able to camp on Gooseneck...

Thanks for the recommendation, I plan to do that on my next trip there.

Thanks, my plan is the same.

Hi Glenn. Sorry for the delay in replying (I have been out on multiple trips and haven't been back on the forum). I have a NT-12. I way about 185. My guess was the portage pack was 30-35, then a couple of pounds each for the thwart bag, photo/video/sound gear and likewise for food bag. The...

Thank you.

The site looks and work great Glenn, thanks very much!

I created a trip report entry on my blog while this site was unavailable for me to post. Rather than create it again (in multiple parts because of the limitation on the number of photos), I am posting a link to the entry. In the future I will post trip reports directly to site (if necessary, in...

I would like to have both options, but if I have to choose, I would take photos/text.

It is still not working right for me on my (Android) phone or Windows 10 computer. I can type in the text box on both devices. On the computer, when the page refreshes, I get an error code: "nodeld":126812 and the entered text is not saved and posted. I also cannot dismiss notifications from...

I can type in the text box now, but it doesn't work correctly - I get an error code when the page refreshes: {"nodeId":126811} and I still can't dismiss the notifications.

It is great that I can actually post to the site now, but I still can't dismiss the notifications from my computer.

This is the code I am getting after hitting Post Reply: {"nodeId":126549} Also, I am unable to edit my posts, so at present they are a one-shot deal.
