We spent the third night at the primitive site on Bog Pond. A little note here about the site: There is a fire ring in the field but after the downpour of that day the field was running water and had no place to hang a hammock. We started to look around for a dryer spot to stay. I found what...

There have been some really great TRs about the Whitney Loop, this is not going to be one of them. We left from the Park Headquarters around 11 AM on the 17th of Sept R-L Me, my son Josh, and his friend Mike. I'm paddling a Keywaydin 15, They are in a Souris River Quetico 17. Little Tupper was...

@bcelect I was thinking about you and the rest of the group up on Lowes Lake, we were paddling the Whitney Loop about a month ago and dragging over that floating bog.

I've posted this before under the title of Tool Porn

Inreach, camera, headlamp, and a weather radio, which has saved my bacon on a couple of trips. I'm not giving any of them up. The phone stays in the car.

I have an MSR Gravity Feed but use Sawyer Filters that work great as long as your pre-moisten them.

Cut the toothbrush in half, remove the labels, etc, etc...whatever else you need to do to cut down on the weight but the chair goes with me on every trip. I have always used a canoe seat until this year and made it thru 3 trips this year without missing it. For our Whitney Loop try, I found a...

Nice Trip report and guess what, it looks the same this year only with a lot more rain. I'm still working on rounding up all the pic from our trip.

@Ruttrowe if you make it back to the area, paddle into Daggett Pond. I have never seen as many moose (and Great Blue's) in that small section of Ciss Stream. The carry up to Shallow Pond from Daggett is fun (not maintained) and if you do it at the end of July/beginning of August, there are a lot...

I just checked and it is down, again

I just found this video and wanted to share it. This is where I've taken my grandson canoeing for the past 4 years Our canoe trips would make his map look like a figure 8 we only do half of his route in a year and we're in empty canoes. Don't get any Party Camping ideas at Site: 10. I think...

Camping with kids doesn't get better than that.

My son has been talking about this for a few years. The company he works for has a couple of parts on each of those communication satellites.

Tents. Once you fly you'll never go to ground again.

I don't like Multi-tools Leathermans, Swiss Army... pounds/use I just don't see the need for them in the woods. I have never said 'If I only had a Phillips Screwdriver...' The knives are weak, and I carry one, the saws are useless and again I take one. Yes it may help in a survival situation...

The Chestnut Green is nice

Sorry, It's my favorite find

A while back I found two of the P&P design reflector ovens at my favorite junk shop. At first, I wanted to buy just one, but then I realized they were selling BOTH for $22.

In the army, they are known as "Field Expedient Hammers"

I have a barrel that I keep my food in, that I move to a corner of the site at night, and place cookware on top. On the Allagash, we jam the coolers under the table. All that and we work hard to keep the site clean So far no problems
