I'm still young enough (68) to not worry too much about the end of my tripping days. I have a couple of really light boats and just need to work a bit harder on the planning of my trips, not to over-extend myself, and when you put it all together shorter days of paddling lead to longer trips...

Guaranteed to be Cold Handles, unless of course they slide into the fire

Winter is coming and if you're looking for an excellent book to read try the true story, "Born to Be Hanged": 'The Epic Story of the Gentlemen Pirates Who Raided the South Seas, Rescued a Princess, and Stole a Fortune by Keith Thomson.' I listened to this book on my way back from GA. This crew...

An Unmarked Wagner #12 at 14" and the rest are Griswold's because they are cheap. For most people, these pans are worthless

To be Fair! I go both ways

Although I may or may not be the provider of pans, I blame Robin for introducing me to the pan, I can't help it if people outside this group can't figure out the value of these pans and purveyors of second-hand goods can't sell them except by reducing the price.

I guess you could take Cast Iron if you want to portage all the extra weight but want to have an even heat transfer in the pan. I like the Cold Handle Pans when I do take a pan. I think this is a 10" pan

Russian Judge gives him a 6 for not Stick'n the landing

Scratches add character. I don't baby my canoes but I don't abuse them either. If you're worried about scratches Bill Swift will tell you, Two Tone Colour Because scratches on your boat always appear white, we offer a Champagne coloured bottom to keep your boat looking newer, longer and to...

I like barrels and there are a lot of good reasons to use them. I have 3 all with good harnesses but I don't like the barrel digging in on my spine. One of the barrels is hooked up to an old wooden pack frame that rides great but the frame weighs 5 pounds so it only goes on trips with few carries.

CHFPs are one of the first things I look for in second-hand stores.

The 'Big Breakfast'

Yes they are and I'm always on the lookout for them

In one day? I won't do it even if I could, I try to find ways to extend my trips and I like to spend my Carries looking at the vegetation.

We spent the third night at the primitive site on Bog Pond. A little note here about the site: There is a fire ring in the field but after the downpour of that day the field was running water and had no place to hang a hammock. We started to look around for a dryer spot to stay. I found what...

There have been some really great TRs about the Whitney Loop, this is not going to be one of them. We left from the Park Headquarters around 11 AM on the 17th of Sept R-L Me, my son Josh, and his friend Mike. I'm paddling a Keywaydin 15, They are in a Souris River Quetico 17. Little Tupper was...

@bcelect I was thinking about you and the rest of the group up on Lowes Lake, we were paddling the Whitney Loop about a month ago and dragging over that floating bog.

I've posted this before under the title of Tool Porn

Inreach, camera, headlamp, and a weather radio, which has saved my bacon on a couple of trips. I'm not giving any of them up. The phone stays in the car.

I have an MSR Gravity Feed but use Sawyer Filters that work great as long as your pre-moisten them.
