    Salmon River Reservoir canoe camping

    I agree. I believe being so close to population you run a greater risk of all the wild all-night beer parties and boom boxes. I was hoping for a place to go that wasn't so far away. It is nice for a quick weekend trip. At this point I've given up on it.

    Felt safe until now

    Great!! Just what i needed, Up until now I have always felt safe sleeping in the car or camping while in the Adirondacks. Now I'm not so sure. NY state Police has a warning for the lookout for Anthony Bechand, considered armed and dangerous. He was last sighted near Thirteenth Lake...

    Old Town Next as a normal solo canoe

    I'm glad my post was helpful. I have very little to complain about my NEXT. I use my canoe for camping and carry a lot of gear About the only thing is I wish it was a little longer for more room. I usually take the seat out when I'm transporting the canoe to make it a little lighter. At 77...

    Your three favorite pieces of comfort or luxury canoe camping gear

    For me I would have to say cooler for some real food cot for sleeping off the ground wall tent a canvas tent is like having a little cabin

    At the work bench

    Times up. Boatman53 and those that guessed lowangle Al are correct. It was a great picture that Al posted on my Tumpline thread of him going old school and showing how the old voyagers did it. I want to thank everyone for their time and allowing me to post my idle dooling at the carving bench.

    At the work bench

    Thanks for your guess. Right now, I'm not saying. I'm going to let this go till tonight. Anyone else want a guess? Two items in the carving give a clue.

    It was nice (and funny) to get a firsthand honest account of many of these places and not the glossed over travel book report.. Thanks

    So what exactly is everyone up to in their non-boating hours?

    Because of my bad legs it's hard to walk very far or stand very long, so I had to give up hutting and fly fishing. So, since I retired from my cabinet shop, to fill in the time I like to sit, and wood carve. Here's a few projects I made and gave away to family. Carved Swag 38" long by 18"...

    Ally (Bergans) vs. Pakcanoes

    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...

    Tumpline ?

    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.

    Tumpline ?

    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...
