I too love a pack basket… I purchased the pack sak and it is really great … I think it is intended for ice fishing… but has several side pockets on the inside that I can organize my gear to a degree and a top that can be twisted closed… at least in an upset most of the gear would be together in...
Thank you Bob…love Jake…you two are definitely best buds…Coop will get his first ride in the restored canoe in about a week and a half…can’t wait to have him in it! Love the gear and explanations…huge help…especially explaining going slow…I did a short 3 day trip and watched everyone blow by me...
Thank you Lowangle Al… this is how I feel as well thank you for the detailed info and beautiful pics…I will post my boat a restored OT Yankee so if you see me in the. Adirondacks please say hi!
cheers

Thank you Glen! Yes I was inquiring about the older gear as I am attempting to put together my own set now that I have finished restoring my w/c canoe…but all information is helpful and much appreciated!
Thank you all! I was at Long Pond for three days with my W/C canoe trying out and attempting to streamline my tradional gear from yesteryear. I apologize for the delay…these are beautiful pics and explanations… this exactly the help I was hoping to find! I‘m struggling with how much I’m taking...
I was wondering if folks could give me some insight,as I am new to the wood/ canvas canoe tripping, and would like to know…and see what you all pack for a weekend, week and longer…thanks!
I also tested Hemlock- Dave and his wife let me try anything I wanted for as long as I wanted at their demo at the park near Rochester.. for free… they even had free pizza! That was a great experience… great people. Lasting impression.
I have the eureka El Capitan 2+. It’s awesome… can zip up to full fabric inside…saved me last year in the north when I developed Covid in the bush and needed to heat up… it’s 6+ pounds… but super durable and reasonably priced… I paid 225$ new! Last year at Moosejaw.
