Don’t know if it’s possible, could you take the adjustable part off the saddle and glue just the block in place? How’s about a couple of d rings in your sitting area for tying down a water bottle, or hat in case of an upset and keeps stuff from rolling around. A coffee cup holder some where in...

Used the Wheeleez for the Methy. Worked pretty ok, on a gravel road it would be ideal.

Hey Stripper, thanks for this post That’s a great idea using the forstner to cut in the grips, putting that one into the bag of tricks. What sized router bit are you using to round over the shafts?

I like my Grohmann knives. I’m really good at loosing them so I’ve used most of their models. I started with the Survival and have worked my way down to the Bird and Trout. The little bird and trout feels really good in the hand and is up to most tasks short of splitting wood.

Currently reading Frontier Farewell by Garret Wilson. “Frontier Farewell offers new perspective on everything from the transfer of Ruperts Land to Canada, the Manitoba Resistance of 1869/1870, and the Numbered Treaties of the 1870’s, to the surveys of the Canadian Prairies, the coming of the...

Me too please!

? Looks well built, thanks for sharing. I’ve tried sleeping under my spray deck a few times, it works, but it’s a little claustrophobic. 14’ is a long fall, you must bounce well!

Original pemmican, 3000/3500 calories per pound. It can be made palatable with the right ingredients. “Kidney” tallow is quite good.

Every local I run into traveling in the north carries some sort of firearm, and I’m no exception. I always pack something, bears would be the main reason I suppose, but I also sleep easier having something for other emergencies like running out of food or signalling for help. If I could carry a...

That sounds neat! Do you have any pictures of this?

Been wearing the Fjallraven Vita pros lately in the colder times and some north face paramount convertibles when things get hot. Its pretty buggy where I trip so like the thicker fabrics. Those Duluth pants look pretty sweet, they just got added to the Christmas list!

Tyvek and typar are really easy to find for cheap too if you go to a developing subdivision. Just look for the houses that are being sided or papered and wired and either dumperster dive or offer the crew a round of Timmies and they’ll probably give you a chunk.

The twig stove hard at work. When you have the fry bake to go with it, it opens up a lot of culinary doors. Pretty sure there’s chilli and corn bread cooking in that pic. I’m with ya Johnny on the bug shelters. Good freestanding bug tents are hard to find these days. Ended up making one for...

I love lists, here‘s my solo stuff: Canoe Yoke Paddles Paddle straps Life jacket Throw bags Sponge Wrap kit Spray deck Repair kit Bailing/pee bucket Tent Bug tent Tarp Poles Pegs Tarp ropes Camp chair Sleeping bag Sleeping pad Clothes Sheep Boots Shoes Rain gear Sealine 30L day pack Food...

On the same boat as you Erk, never could get my head around big groups. Any more than 3 tents and things generally get uncomfortable, there’s only so much flat ground out there in shield country for a good nights sleep.

I enjoy two types of tripping. Solo - hard and fast With my partner and 3 young boys - definitely not hard and fast but we still get’er done. Watching them play and explore is truly the best. Lots of love for the old canvas packs here too!

I like big boats too! With all my brood and livestock, I’d wished I’d gone with the 20’ Mac to squeeze them all in for a few years. I’ve never had an issue tying my 18’6 Mackenzie or 18’ prospector on to a beaver or otters pontoons, no pilot has ever asked or even blinked an eye at the BBC’s...

250cm aquabound hybrid sting ray in a caribou s. It gets ya a little wet. Nice paddle tho. I see a 260 full carbon of some variety in the future. Any recommendations?

I take an 8’ med heavy power, med action when up in the far North trolling for big Lakers. 20 plus lbs fish is very common and they are incredibly feisty and the quicker the fight and release, the better for their survival. The extra length makes the heavier weight rod a little less like a 2x4...

Hi! Jealous of your location, canoe country for sure. I used to live outside Powassan and wife has family in Sundridge. The north part of the park is where it’s at for sure! We miss that part of the country and all it’s interesting backroads. Q the banjo. :p Cheers! Rubb
