Wow! That looks really good! Thanks for sharing! mike

A simple 4 ingredient loaf of white bread. After all the talk about Fry-Bakes in the other thread in the kitchens section as well as seeing the John Favreau bread baking episode of the "Chef Show" on Netflix, I got the itch to make a loaf. I cheated.....I used a porcelain lined Dutch in the...

2016 Ford F-150.....Late February of this year.....I was out paddling two days prior.

My buddies and I like to eat......Our first couple of days anywhere are fresh foods, then we slowly work our way to mylar wrapped...dehydrated/freeze dried. We always carried a cast iron dutch oven size appropriate to the number of people in our group. The lid would serve double duty as our...

Why Yes...I did! Mike

Dan, your presentation is already highlighted on my program. A couple of my friends were with you on that trip...... mike

I'm coming up! haven't been in a few years....looking forward to it. Looks like a lot of great presenters/presentations.....I'm trying to bookmark all of the ones I want to see....going to be a busy weekend. Mike

I have the "Iota" at max brightness, it's 150 Lumens so probably not ideal for emergency situations, but great for around camp when I only want minimal lighting...I generally keep it on lowest setting so as to not blind everyone. I have another headlamp that runs on regular batteries that is...

I forgot.....my Black Diamond headlamp can be recharged off the Anker as well..... Mike

I brought my smartphone for the 1st time on a week long trip this past September to the Boundary Waters......I swore I never would.....but then it happened.....On my phone I have the "Avenza Maps" app. where I can download topo maps cheaper than buying a back up paper map and use it as a gps...

I've used my Phoenix up there twice.....It's not as fast as a Magic or Prism, but will absolutely haul a load......sheds waves extremely well.....The only issue I encountered was a little weathervaning with a cross wind. The bow sits kind of high.....I slid my pack forward and that helped a...

If you have a Sam's Club near you, they offer a 4 pack of a Winter weight Merino wool blend for like $16.00.....They wear like iron and are pretty comfortable....They have carried them for years.... Mike

Enjoy your trip Doug! Mike

Some of you may remember my post last year about our "rescue" puppy Luca. The vet at the rescue and our vet once we got him home both felt that he would top out at 40-45 pounds.....they were both wrong! He is now about 90 pounds! He is a great dog......He just doesn't like to get wet. I...

My wife just purchased a 2019 Subaru Outback and you can adjust the rear hatch to open as much or as little as you want....designed just for the purpose you described....With that said, I am not a big fan of the factory Outback roof rack.....If you get the Outback touring edition, it comes with...

Wow! Bummer.....I agree, anymore effort would have been a waste of time.......Kudos for trying though! Mike

I might be interested.....There may be enough parts there to cob something together for my daughters old Subaru.....I can usually talk her into dropping me off at my entry point on the river after staging my truck at the take out for a cup of coffee and a couple of donuts.....I'll try to PM you...

Are you doing the loop around Superior or just hitting Wawa for a couple of days?

Awesome! I went for a quick paddle Sunday on a local pond just to get out.....Given the current forecast, it doesn't sound like the rivers will be dropping anytime soon. Mike

I usually have one bungeed down on a thwart......I get cheap 3 packs at the hardware store, they work pretty well...I will also use it to wipe out mud/crud before I rack the canoe to go home..... Mike
