I think you made the right decision getting the canoe trailer. Years ago, I had a truck camper and thought of putting the canoe on top but even back then when I was young and strong, after trying I could see that putting the canoe on top of the camper was just too much. On trips when I needed...

Welcome, glad you could make it

Good information jdeerfoot

Seeing is believing. I'm amazed at what both of you are carrying. This sounds very interesting, I think I'd like to try it but only with someone that knows what he's doing.

Recently I've been watching a lot of videos on packers carrying their gear using a tumpline. The video makes it sound like you could carry a Buick with no trouble. My portage days are over and I've never used one but how good are they? Are they difficult to use? Does anyone here still use a...

Thanks, Boatman53 for the offer. Between my wife and me. we have almost every inch of wall space covered.

Gerald, I'm speechless but I think you know how all of us feel. Take care friend.

WOW! Outstanding. Seems like he may know a little bit about canoe trips. That would look great in my den.

I have one of my wife's cats that loves to sit on my lab and watch canoe videos with me. We often joke that I should take her along on my trips. I'm not sure how she would react to being in the canoe. I tolerate her here at the house only because my wife tolerated my Labrador retrievers all...

There are over 250 kinds of sumac. I believe the kind of sumac jdeerfoot is referring to is a local grown Buckhorn Sumac. I have made and consumed this many times. The way I had it looks like a pink lemonade, and is OK to drink. However, native to North America (also on the rise) is a poison...

I remember the canvas over wood canoe I made in college as being one of my best all around canoes. It would track like an arrow, I could stand and fish, it carried a load well. I loaned it to a friend (Big Mistake) he ran over it with his truck.

Wow, good job what a great fine. I kept looking but I can never find a deal like that. Nothing but Colemans and Al canoes.

Loved your post. James Carey is a popular fellow in our house. I watch and enjoy all his canoe camping videos and my wife watches all of Mr. Carey water painting videos. He does a wonderful pen and water color sketches most outdoor people enjoy, very simple and relaxing. One of my favorites...

About 6 or 8 years ago on our local Craig's List there were items being posted that seemed too good to be true. There was $10,000 car posted at $2500, $5,000 garden tractors posted at $500 and so on. The post contained phone numbers, pictures and everything else needed to seem on the up and...

I still can't believe that price, something doesn't smell right. I still have my doubts.

Good Luck with your trip. I like your timeline, no rush, travel when you want, eat when you want and enjoy the ride. I'd be interested in your menu for 3 weeks. Looking forward to your trip report.

Dutchlennart Thanks for posting your pictures. I have a NEXT canoe but only use it for tripping on lakes. My wife worries a lot about my solo trips and the canoe tipping over. I'm always telling her how well my canoe handles wind and big rough water. I showed her your picture showing the...

In 2022, I was in the market for a solo tripping canoe and was considering everything out there. I finally got things down to two models. I was considering a Hornbeck and a OT NEXT. I watched dozens of videos and read everything I could on the subject and decided on the OT NEXT. for my...

What a great trip!! Great story and even better pictures. I really enjoyed it. I hope the moose recovers his wound. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for remembering. I'm afraid the story of Tionesta now is the same as a great many other small towns. When we had our camp there (1965-1990) it was a busy hub of activity. My wife and I drove over a few years ago, it was very sad. All the businesses I'd known were gone, yards were grown...
