While not really qualifying as a "big" weather event, an experience comes to mind. A couple years ago in the Fall I was camped on the edge of the BWCA intending to take day trips. I had had a serious motor cycle accident that spring and had not recovered yet enough to take an actual canoe trip...

Pretty cool Robin. I have watched your trip videos and had no Idea that you made your own tent. I too prefer the shoulder seasons for canoe tripping.

Thanks for posting pics of your camp Bob. It would be nice this winter to see you check back from time to time with some current pictures. Good luck with the deer hunt.

They got paid to go on an adventure, I have to pay to go on mine.

I may have did the paypal thing wrong. When I put ctrippingnet at gmail.com in, Your name popped up underneath and I thought ya that's it, and clicked on it. Sorry if that was wrong, I almost never send money on PP so I'm kinda dumb. Let me know if I need to corect this somehow.

My favorite first day destination was about 10 miles with three 1/4 mile (double carry) ports at which time I was exhausted. Good thing the campsite was 1/4 mile from the last port. Once...

I hammock camp shoulder seasons and use a thermarest under me for warmth. I have to double port no matter what, so a little more weight isn't an issue.

Welcome Devon. We had a Camper canoe when the kids were small. Lots of good memories.

Fishing from a canoe is a pain in the but.

Being a hammock camper, I use tree hugger straps for attachment points. Once on a trip while packing to move I noticed pine sap on a strap and didn't want it to get on other things in the stuff sack. My nephew was with me and said just rub some dirt on it. Oddly enough that worked great as a...

I have fond family paddling memories of the OT camper I had in the nineties.

I nominate Mem for the CT hall of fame. Can we get a second?

OMG, so many things wrong in this vid. Darwin candidate.

Hang in there BF. The Human body is amazing and can recover from many situations. Be faithful to the PT, and then keep moving forward with a self styled fitness plan that fits your needs.

When I saw the thread title I thought it was going to be a riddle. It put me in mind of Bilbo Baggins and Gollem.

And I some how know that you're just the guy that could explain that omen. I'm begging ya Mem, please enlighten us.
