Thanks for your post Erica. G.

Good winter activity Black Fly especially if breaking new snow. Using poles as you do is great for keeping those upper body muscles toned as well. Great photo by the way. G.

Summer = neoprene sock inside a pair of wet water shoes + running shoes around camp. Spring and Fall = high Bogs with heavy wool socks + hiking boots around camp. G.

Thanks for sharing. As Gamma1214 said, love the transitions from preparation to use. Enjoy the upcoming season. G.

This photo was taken after the first snow here this winter. . We got about 40 inches. Finally, found the Subie after the driveway was cleared. A week later it was all gone. We got snow since then but more and more winter rain seems to be in our future. Gerald

Photo from Nor-West canoe company, a family owned business which completely burned down earlier this week. Beautiful freighter canoes were their specialty during their 70 years of constructing these pieces of art.

30 minutes from home. Family business. My first canoe was a Nor-West. Beautiful WC canoe. As years went by, they specialized in constructing freighter canoes as mentioned by memaquay. Their WC freighters can be found all over the North and are a favourite of the original peoples. Hope they...

Hey Trailblazer, that L.L.Bean Continental Rucksack seems to be my missing link. Does it fit under a canoe while portaging? Gerald

Got 40 inches at our place. They had predicted 40 - 60 cm. My car is still not completely uncovered. Have a full day of working outside ahead of me.

Right on Snapper. The man himself. Great memories. Gerald

No, not on this occasion, but he usually does. Gerald

Beautifully done. Thanks for the heads up. This is my favorite fog solo photo. Can anyone identify the paddler?

Thunder boxes are a must in most designated canoe areas. That said, I've never stepped in human feces in all those years however in La Vérendrye, where dogs are permitted, I know people who have buried their toes in transformed kibble. G.

I also enjoyed this return to recoup the canoe vid. I noticed Sako is starting to grey on the lower lip. 6 years old now. Justin reminds me more of the early explorers rather than a modern adventurer. More like it was back when I first started tripping 60 years ago. Not on the same scale, of...

I enjoy your videos very much. Thanks for sharing. G,

The replies so far seem to confirm the old sayings, "use it or lose it", "you are what you eat" and "sleep well live long". G.

Watched it yesterday (got link off of CCR). Nice vid. You guys carried lots of gear\food and yet seemed to stay pretty dry in your solo boats. I may be wrong, but from the footage it seemed to me the Keno may be better suited to solos than tandems. Any thoughts? Thanks for sharing. G.
