Wow! That is freakin' cool. Congrats!!

"Even the open road—that last bastion of freedom—now demands a reservation. Gone are the days when you could set off on a whim." Love Kevin's stuff but will take a different path here. While researching the long trip a couple of years back my plan had been to drive up to Yellow Knife and then...

I used to do the pill box thing - pain in the arse. I started bringing 2 identical sets in just a screw top bottle but with an antidesicant (sp) in there. Works great - one in my dry box and one in my barrel. For the border I peel labels off my pills, slap them on a 8 x 11 and have one...

Black Fly's post above reminded me of something a urologist told me regarding getting checked. In short, lie. Yup - he said if you are concerned about it tell your Dr. your dad's brother had it and they will allow you to get checked. In my first round I was the youngest guy in the waiting...

That is too bad Gerald. Joining the group that nobody wants to join, but somehow manages to wrangle in way to many new members every year. Good luck. I have mentioned it before - maybe even this thread - but get your numbers checked without fail. Just feeling good isn't enough - I...

So are you saying that about 15,000 articles written by fisheries biologists world-wide are all wrong? Dead floating fish are often times consumed quite quickly by scavengers. Having a back-ground in outdoor sports provided me with the opportunity to conduct more fishing events that you...

Your lead off statement - "I like to fish with ultralight tackle, it makes small fish a lot more fun to fight. You catch a lot more small fish than large ones, so..." Your response is the exact same thing every person who admits to using ultralight gear for larger species provides. And...

Please bear in mind Rusty, that your preferred method of fishing ultra-light tackle results in higher mortality rates of fish. They are played too long, lactic acid builds in their system, and while they appear to swim away at fights end it is a descent to the bottom where many die. For...

Are you referring to the one in the UP? I would contact the appropriate DNR office for verification. Many downed trees around.

Through discussions on this site I eventually wound up getting the TG-G. I like ALMOST everything about it except one thing - it is as slippery as an eel. Now this is most likely my own personal issue, but I don't bring it on trips any more. It has been moved into "family camera" detail...

I'm am going to save $20 per year to compensate Glenn for my inability to use a proper heading on my posts. Seriously, I commend you in a huge way for doing this. I couldn't do it if my life depended on it, plus I don't have the patience to deal with people like me. A hearty THANK YOU to...

I am happy to say I almost started a local incident back in '72 or '73 in the Boy Scouts. My dad was active in the National Guard for many years and he came across a huge amount of "C" or "K" or some letter rations from like the War of 1812 or something. Anyway you just boiled all these cans...

If it involves anything more then boiling water I have zero interest in it.

Hello all, It all comes to a happy end. The border went smooth as most thought it would. I had the same border guy as I saw when I came home without the canoe. I pulled up and said "looks like it worked out - everything in the back still all yours?" and off I went. Below is what I put...

Thank you Erica! The most amazing thing was the receipt and the rest of the paperwork were exactly where they should gave been. That NEVER happens. I've also got my pictures of me and the cops in the helicopter and at the airport. Heading out tomorrow!! Thinking about coming back...

I am happy to report that my gear is safe, sound, and being dried out thanks to Follow Her North. Going upstream in the rapids proved to have a couple of exciting moments, but all is good. A huge thank you to Mylene and her dad. I will be heading north soon to get my gear and thank them in...

By all means check out Follow Her North in Hearst. Saved me.

I won't be going back on this one, unless my brother want to head up and finish the second half. My own personal tripping rules maintain that if I cannot finish a trip due to errors on my part (navigation, shear stupidity, etc.) then I have to redo them. In the case of mother nature...

Well, the hits just keep on coming. While I was fiddling about in the bush Chick was making a bunch of calls on my behalf. One went to the town of Hearst, where Melanie at Hearst airport gave her the name Mylène Coulombe-Gratton, who operates Follow Her North in Hearst. I placed a call...

I'm not sure, but it seams all of that incoming helped the constable approve the extraction for a non-emergency situation, for which I am grateful!!
