Awesome Post Robin ... stuff like this really speaks to me. I have often thought bout making one - jsut not sure how to start - so many ideas in my head. Would have two doors with screens, and aluminum poles to make portage somewhat reasonable. I hate summer tents - my CCS1 is about as tenty...

That might work for me ... where are you thinking of meeting Bill?

JohnSand, I have been in similar situations at sea ... I appreciate your post. I have been in those pop up squalls ... and nearly hit at anchor by a large water spout. Unnerving to say the least. Bob.

I am like Snapper in the knots I use most often. Bowline, taught line hitch, truckers hitch and half hitch cover almost all of what I need. They are super simple to tie and importantly to untie, even when wet and under a load. The function of each hitch is important, but to me it is equally...

I am thinking about it. I would have my Dog Jake with me. I would be interested in meeting up with others from this board. Bob.

Years ago I was traveling in WCPP. I went in with a buddy, we split up soon after entering together and were to meet agin 3 weeks later with some others who were flying in. There had been a lot of rain prior to our start and I found my route was rife with muddy/mucky portages. There was also a...

Good luck with your sale. Having had panther products in the past, I I can say their canvas and stitching is second to none. Your lodge looks like it is excellent shape. 700 bucks with stove and frame is an extremely reasonable asking price. Bob

Snapper, Sounds heart breaking losing a chance at a beautiful property like described. Good luck with your search, I hope find a nice quiet place. Jake and I spend a lot of time in winter camp. The kind of solitude winter gives is something I wish I had words to adequately describe. As to...

In early winter, late fall I use my winter camp as a base for deer hunting. It is so nice to have fresh bread, hot coffee and warm venison stew out in the timber. Now that deer season is over, Jake and I will spend a lot of our time at winter camp ... until about March or April and then wood...

This post is a mess, trying to do it from winter camp and my phone is not cooperating! Anyway, we are going to spend 3-4 hours here, then will hike back to the house for breakfast ... after sipping wood stove made hot chocolate and reading for while. There is a simple joy of watching the sun...

Well, the primary gun deer season is over and Jake and I needed a bit of a timber romp so this morning we hiked up to winter camp.

Well, the primary gun deer season is over and Jake and I needed a bit of a timber romp so this morning we hiked up to winter camp. It was single digits this am with a bit of a wind chill. Man it feels good to get into the tent and crank up the wood stove.

That paddle looks exceptional … I can not wait too the final finish product … it is truly amazing!

Man I love Sycamore but that paddle … WOW!!

Man that sounds like a real crap ton of snow … only November!! Yikes!

Oh boy, I sure love Vizsla pics! Your dog is gorgeous! I think active dogs help us to stay active … I might get lazy and want to be a coach potato, but when I look at Jake giving me the “let’s go explore eyes“, I am motivated to keep moving. Watching dog joy as they romp about makes me want...

Halpc, any pics of you and your dog? Man, they love to run! Bob.

I mostly hike with my dog Jake. We also go to winter camp about 4 times a week. https://www.canoetripping.net/threads/winter-camp-is-ready-to-go.128792/#post-155676 Jake and I are a nationally certified therapy team so we often go to assisted living facilities and visit with the residents...

PaddlingPitt, I have no idea how many for winter camp. New tent, larger stove … I am burning mostly Norway Spruce as that is what is right there. I do have some red elm processed right now, but there is not much around in that vicinity. Norway spruce is very dry standing dead. It burns very...

Appreciate you Rippy. Will do. Hopefully Jake and I will have a lot of winter time adventures up there this year. We are always up for a good timber romp.
