I often sneak the collapsing umbrella from the brides suv , to bring on trips as its only 18" long, but the ease a following wind allows out weights the browbeating upon return.

No danger with that last piece of bacon as the bear will have to fight me over it, and he better watch out I might beat him with my umbrella! :rolleyes:

Anyone fishing while there or know what is in season , I have had a non resident license but not this year, I think they have a three day visitors license or is it a day pass. Perhaps you can buy one online. In any event see you all around 9ish weather or not.

Alan while I only know You from reading & rereading your exploits on the forum , I've often wondered how Sadie reacts when You're in a tight spot due to weather or such as I know how my dog looks at me when I lead him to a swamp or briar thicket. Do You get the "Look what a fix You've...

Odyssey, I've read some lenape legends that say if you are quite & listen closely to moving water you will hear the voices of the ancestors. Perhaps that's what You were experiencing.

While I love to visit faraway locations , often these places are close to home , it is more a state of mind than a location . John Burroughs alluded to this in his writings a century ago. I know a secluded location in a grove of old growth pine where all that you can hear is an adjacent...

Odyssey , I think that's the spirit of sportsmanship, something sadly being lost in this here world.

Al , I don't think you did this with malice aforthought , after your explanation & mea culpa if he did not accept it, that is stupid & life is tough when your stupid. I wouldn't beat myself up , just chalk it up to an experience.

Campmor used to have a lightweight rain shirt called a cagoule which came down to your calves but discontinued it last year. Another piece of practical gear lost to corporate expedience. Luckily I have the original I purchased, but it just reinforces my theory of buying two of everything you...

Red , Take a look at the hidden river yoke or the yoke pads in piragis catalog.

I've always thought it important to treat others gear better than you would your own. Using someones axe or knife & returning it nicked , or running someones canoe ashore or anything of that sort amounts to malfeasance of the highest order. I hold some of my gear most dear and am reticent to...

Tony , I finally got it ( this univac computer just doesn't do the trick anymore ). Looks like You had marvelous weather & a great trip. Great video , hope you keep us posted on other excursions. Thanks .

Pataneap , somehow I get "Sorry this video does not exist " ?

Its amazing what You can fashion on site with a little imagination but after all nature is man's storehouse. ( the only one we've got incidentally ! )

Robin , That works for me , Name a time & I will be there .

Hey Seeker , I would eat anything when hungry, never try to miss a meal if I can help it , I've never met a food I'd didn't like , The fellows I usually trip with bring so much food & gear we need a mule for portages. My point was I could also do with hard tack & grog and still be happy. When I...

Iskweo , What is a bear fence , down here were I live the black bears would skedaddle if you said boo, do you need to actually set up a fence, are these brown bears or are they more agressive in your neck of the woods ? I've never gave it a thought to bring any protection while camping as the...

Good ! Sounds like a plan. Keep me posted on any developments.

I don't know if I should start a new thread, but this leads to a question about a minimalist menu on solo trips. Robin & snapper have included comments on their meals. Historically flour ,bacon, sugar , tea /coffee have been the staples and thus the kettle & fry pan could do it all. Do these...

Iskweo , It won't win any beauty contests as it's rough & ready , thats all I ask anyway , I hate to have gear so pretty I'm afraid to use it. I think the evidence is tipping in one direction but I am grateful those of You that have much more experience than myself could consider if it sounds...
