Another pitch for Taiga bags here own several - bought the first one for my wife - 'cause if momma aint happy ...... Good products at a reasonable price!

Hi Pook, I was out the first week of September and as for rain, it's just been a wet year! Those were the worst ports for sure, almost had my kayak get away on the Isaac River port, managed to get in front and stop it but I did smash one of my cameras that I had in my pocket :mad: May would see...

Yes and if you're doing that there are canoe rests on the long ports to give yourself a break. I ran into folks who did the circuit 18 yrs previously and that's how they did it in those days ;)

Having trouble linking to park website for their pre-trip brochure and it's info. Alan has the gist of it in his post. It's to prevent trail damage although the trails do get rutted and there are many potholes along the way! They don't include any canoe related gear (paddles, canoe weight, cart...

I have gone to the GSI Infinity mug with the fabric handle as I am doing a fair bit of backpacking these days along with canoeing/kayaking. The lid is close to a bombproof closure - dropped it several times and it hasn't spilled a drop! Light weight and no handle to curse when packing is a bonus...

Just checking back in and I can see there are more hangers hanging around this forum ;) I started hanging about 12 yrs ago and all my back related aches and pains from ground sleeping disappeared. All the advice is pertinent and some kind of under insulation is necessary for sure! I use a...

Look for: The Home of the Blizzard, Mawson's Will or Alone on the Ice. The lesser known story of the Australian explorer Douglas Mawson, a contemporary of Scott, Shackleton, Admunsen et al who eschewed the race for the pole in favour of the scientific exploration of Antarctica. No less gripping...

If your tastes fall into the sci-fi dystopian novel and/or thriller genres, you may enjoy The Water Knife by Pablo Bacigalupi. An page turning apocalypse novel that has a large dose of "now" and near future in it. No plagues, no zombies or nuclear fallout but rather changing climate and its...

Here's a link to an episode of Nature that is a companion piece to the book "Wolverine Way" that Will mentioned above. I too, read the book and have seen a wolverine in the far north of Ontario near the Ont-Manitoba border near Fort Severn. Fascinating creatures with a reputation that doesn't do...

No Title Lily and Sasha - Grace Lake, Killarney. Both dogs have passed on now after 10+ year canoeing careers. Tripped with both dogs for a 7 year period, necessitating an 18' canoe for that period ;)

Thanks tump_lion, nice to see some of the old stomping grounds now that we're relocated to the west coast! The place has a way of worming itself into your psyche! Well worth it Odyssey and you could always combine a trip with the Changing of the Seasons gathering every September, check on...

Not quite there yet Odyssey, end of the month. That's a worthy goal you've set for yourself ;)

Thanks, brings back some great memories of all our fall canoe hunting and fishing trips(1976 - 1998) into Summit Lk area back. Couple of those trips we actually developed some serious cravings for a bucket chicken or a juicy cheeseburger after eating so many walleyes over the course of a 8-10...
