Hi Michael, Thank you for your question but I do not intend to put one together. I haven't even downloaded the pic's off my camera yet. Strangely enough I am not reflecting on the trip very much right now. It was everything I had hoped for, so nothing bad, just busy making plans for future...

Great taste in music Mem! Another fan - you don't come across too many folks who are familiar. They played a tiny theater in a small town an hour from Rochester. For those unfamiliar these guys are from Toronto and for about 40 years have produced some of the most depressing music you have...

A little bit of both - Cowboy Junkies concert tonight too.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

I love being in the woods at night. Probably half of my 46's were done starting at midnite, and fishing for brown trout at nite is a favorite past time. Growing up in northern Michigan we had easy access to the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, and you could literally walk in any time. Nights with a...

Depending on the regs in your area you can have a tremendous time night fishing. I don't mean make casts into dusk, I mean wait until like 10 - 11 pm. There are some pretty freaky things swimming around out there - some actually have fins. You won't be bored.

We used the Ally 16.5 ft "folding" canoes on the Thelon trip supplied by the outfitter. Creepy little devices these are. The undulating boat snakes over and around rocks and all, but it's very sticky on rocks and had amazingly horrible seats. Upside is we were able to get 5 boats and all...

I have always left firewood behind, most likely due to Scouting. Wabakimi was funny. Unsure who did it (Friends of Wabakimi I would guess) but at almost every campsite there was a supply of wood, neatly cut and stacked, and in most cases was rotting away from lack of use.

One thing to consider if you are just looking to fish would be a 9-10 jon boat. You can clamp the wheels on the stern and walk any where. it weights less than many canoes, you can row it, sail it or use an electric and/or a gas outboard. Plenty of room for gear and you can mount anchors on...

For the sake of this email, I would like to consider all Alaskan’s and Canadian’s as one people - everything equally applies to both parties. From that perspective I would like to say that everyone I met on my tour was extremely friendly and very helpful. I mean exceedingly so. In Yellowknife 3...

I'll toss it out there again. I have a late 70's Kelty Tioga XL pack and frame. Frame is free if you pay freight and that is the issue - ships oversized.

Gonna check out the gear you mentioned. The pad sounds great, and that heater could have multiple uses - like winter steelhead fishing. Thank you!

I have also noticed they no longer want my dogs rabies paperwork. I hand it over they hand it right back.

Been traveling in Canada for many years and like most things there is a gray area. Only 5 states or so offer Enhanced licenses, mine being one of them in NY. I have only ever used my state issued drivers license. At present only need an enhanced - just used mine going back and forth between...

I suppose mine is a hybrid. I always start to pack 2 weeks before the departure. For whatever reason I start with tackle and work my way until it's barrel time the day before departure. Everything is staged in the sunroom in neat stacks on top of whatever duffel will be hauling it, and...

I purchased my Rockstar, used it twice and it's been in the garage ever since. I backed of the screws and put it away. I don't use it, and with screws backed out I didn't think there would be an issue, but I kept checking the gunnels every spring for the first five years. Never had an issue.

On my recent trip to the Thelon I wanted to check out some gear I had wondered about. Huge Eureka dry bag - too big for me and the thing had some leaks. I wasn't alone with the leaks and I get these are used commercially, but there were not that many miles on this pack. Peregrine...

And as it turns out, for me, this became true. And with the Thelon in the rear view mirror, Wabakimi is becoming more like the ADK's to me. Wabakimi was wonderful, but the Thelon raised the bar by a bunch of course. I may have a different perspective on this since I don't see myself...

12 gauge pump with the shorter defense barrel, first 2 rounds are slugs, next 3 are buckshot. Never had to reach for it.

When we opened the package and saw those biscuits sitting there we both just laughed, but it turned out we loved this one also!
