Helinox Sunset on sale in a few colors https://www.backcountry.com/helinox-sunset-camp-chair $95 US edit, now its $80

I have never used a stove tenting like you do but it should work the same as any wood stove. An airtight stove with no air leaks should not even need a pipe damper. The fire can be controlled with how much air you let in through the door damper. Close that up too much and it will smoke out any...

Last year you could get the Helinox sunset for 85-90 US dollars if you searched the internet occasionally. Still not cheap but it is a quality chair and the feet issue is easily solved if you are not camping on the Canadian shield like I do.

Bought a Helinox Sunset last year. No complaints. Very high back and high seat height. High weight rating too.

I will be expanding my knowledge of routes in Manitoba's Atikaki Provincial Park. Most of the lakes are unnamed Last year we walked the portage to one some call "Frigid." A good sized lake with many bays and islands to explore. Three portages exiting the lake so a lot to check out on trips out...

For those that are are part of a group with various devices a few battery packs and small solar panel can alleviate the need for multiple backups for multiple battery types. My little video camera uses a lot of power, a problem back home pulls more juice from the InReach and now there are even...

Goal Zero has a lot of options for charging different size of devices. I used a few of their units on a group trip and they worked great. https://www.goalzero.com/shop/venture-power-banks-accessories/venture-30-power-bank/

Red Lake Outfitters closing down was kept kept quiet. What was not kept quiet was the video rants against Claire, assistant supt. of Woodland Caribou P.P. I can tell you that Claire has been the go-to person for WCPP for decades and has been smeared because she pushed back against anyone anyone...

The opening comments on this video and some messages left tell a lot about the demise of Red Lake Outfitters. Richard of Chukuni Outdoor Supply stepped up and went out of his way to help this canoe party that showed up for their prepaid canoe trip and found that Harlan had left town...

My trademark is the combo bath and laundry as I wade into a meter of water while still plenty warm from padd!ing. Kinda an all in one wash. Real laundry in a bucket once a week and nightly toothbrush with paste and then floss. Oh, and deodorant every few days. Most appreciate a cook that doesn't...

Oh, this is tragic news. That is our plane and pilot from all of our Atikaki fly-in trips. I had not heard about it until your post.

For your winter time medication- view as needed. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_-BxaAXQjwROan83T7Qpg9PrquGxwguz

That is why I use my Garmin GPS's alarm when tripping or on the road. I can not hear a lot of the high pitched watch alarms. The GPS turns on to wake you so no battery loss.

Poking around an old logging camp I found a rusted out Cold Handle Pan. It has the name on the handle, do they all?

I take Cliff bars for when I need energy late in a long hard day. All Cliff bars are not the same. For the energy provided I take Cliff Bar Brownies. I am not saying they taste good but they fuel me up like no other I have tried. The better tasting Cliff Bars have too much sugar for my system...

Without the Internet I never knew about the book but sure could have used it for my '68 Beetle. First time driving it I found it eerie that I could roll up the passenger window with out leaning over.

A great and well deserved tribute.

In the old days we would just let people bring the meals assigned to them. Bad Choice! Some people think the servings rating on the packages mean something near the truth. Worst case was a trip that where one person required that he provide all the food. The prep questions seemed impressive and...

In chainsaws each company has numerous quality levels- yard work to pro. Heading into the bush you need one that will still be in one piece at the end of the trip. On a really hard project back in 2013 where I knew if the saw quit I would have to turn around I took two medium duty saws. It...

On yeah, I would rather clear the portage than fish. I can take care of the big stuff left behind by the Silkys. Used to carry a medium sized saw but went to a Jonsered top handle used by arborist. Not the safest but one-handed cutting while seated in the canoe is easily done. 14 inch bar and...
