Last week my bro and I just entered at Angleworm lake in the BWCA. Two miles from parking lot to water (well, 716 rods, I believe).

Flambeau? Water is high: gauge Great trip though.

I've been looking around for the pen style bear banger and have so far only found Canadian retailers that can't or won't ship to the U.S. Can anyone link me to a usa retailer?

This forum is a gem. Thanks, Barry for taking the time to take measurements! Very, very much appreciated. Barry, if I'm reading you right, your recommendation is to have the bow (and presumably stern) bags be about 16" long (from the grab handle/float tanks to around sixth scupper hole from grab...

Well, I'm in the weird position of trying to outfit a tripping canoe (SRT) that I have yet to take possession of for a long trip slated to start at the beginning of July (not ideal, I realize). Currently, I'm working on end bag flotation--see post above. I've been emailing with Shawn from Fall...

I've always been intrigued by the Mason firebox. Here's a lighter weight version: https://hofmanoutdoorgearsupply.ca/30-fire-box

The Flambeau river in Wisconsin via summer camp. I was going into 8th grade, maybe.... Retraced that first trip last summer at age 48!

I have an older swift osprey that might be made out of the same material. Anyway, I like it a lot for lakes and rivers. Mine weighs mid-40's I'd guess, though it has aluminum and not wood gunwales.

I spoke with Blue Mountain Outfitters and the end bags they have in stock are these: https://www.nrs.com/nrs-canoe-3-d-end-float-bags/puss Any SRT owners care to opine or share what end bag outfitting they have? Thanks,

Current plan: Two tugeyes on the bow and stern. Two lowish for lining and two high for grab loops. CSS spraydeck End bags D-rings for end bags and under thwarts for securing gear Neoprene pads Foot pegs Deal bucket seat Small end caps (see pic)

Classic. I used to have the vhs tape.

Is this the way to use mytopo to create custom maps? http://help.mytopo.com/knowledgebase/articles/1986634

I was wondering, given the ability to design maps online, if folks use a different scale than 1:50,000 or 1:250,000? I've often thought 1:100,000 might be a good compromise for longish river trips...

Thanks, all. I will examine the various options referenced above. I, too, love maps, and now that I reflect on it I'm sure there are some sections (lower Albany in particular--prior to the delta) where 1:250,000 maps would suffice. Poor eyesight aside, I often prefer the large scale as I'm not...

My eyes have gotten bad over the years, so I now find 1:250,000 maps difficult to read. I'll look into downloading and printing. Thanks!

I'm in the beginning stages of planning a trip on the Albany river and as I look at the cost of buying the necessary maps, I'm trying to figure out if there's a cheaper approach than ordering $400+ worth of 1:50,000 maps? Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated. -tomo

I am really hoping to paddle the Albany river this summer.

I use the ridgeline stuff sack as well. I use zing it for the tie outs, and have recently swapped out the ridgeline prussiks for these: Nama Claws

Thanks Waterdog! That's very helpful. Will the 60 liter not fit sideways or is the thwart in the way? Do they make 45L barrels? Lovely!

Question for SRT owners. Does a 30 liter barrel fit between the seat and rear thwart? What about 60L in that space?
