OK memaquay the name of that hippie beer was Kilkenny and of coarse the name of any lake we're skunked at is never used again. I've copied a link to that documentary you suggested https://www.nfb.ca/film/cree_hunters/ this puts winter camping at a hole new level. I've watched it 3 times and...

pblanc has hit the nail on the head. As to your question I viewed the video and agree with you.The hole run appearing to be on the same stretch may be the cause for the equal rating. Rapids are rated as a whole and not broken down by their component parts. Also remember that rivers change their...

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/punch-in-nose-saves-man-from-polar-bear-1.939732 This story comes from Mr. Haslams predecessor Wes Werbowy in the GCHS outers program. To gain an understanding of how to survive any predator encounter you have to understand what motivates them. Its all about...

I'm told the secret to good bannock is the baking powder. The Bakewell Cream looks to be exactly like Canada's Magic Baking Powder (non aluminum single acting) I've been told you have to it or the bannocks not going to taste right. Around Hudson's and James Bay the bannock is deep fried in...

A very beautiful piece of art. Nookomis in Ojibwe means my grandmother it is pronounced Nokomis I know anyone who speaks the language would consider this work a very fitting tribute.

I wish I could help but I have no Idea, Maybe freeze it and if you get up to the rock you can call it dolce soup. I use to think about learning to dehydrate but a friend of mine was much better than I so it was just left it up to her. I seem to have forgotten to mention that the baggy with the...

If you're a fan of the sushi bar try miso soup just take hot water add dashi (a dried fish base stock available even were I live) Miso paste and nori (dried seaweed) add 1 teaspoon dashi and miso paste to 2 cups of water crumble a sheet or 2 of nori adjust to taste and your having the...

Sorry Robin I have no access to the products you've posted but I do enjoy Idaho instant mashed potatoes with onion, parsley and fish.made into patties and fried. On trips like Marshall lake pickerel goes in perfectly and the Idaho instant potato flakes also make a great fish coating mix fried it...

After all the work you've done on that route I can understand. Earlier maps of Nam use to show a dam midway between Martin and Barnum Green as you know it was actually a thrust fault forming a perfect line across the river and 8 foot sheer drop. I think that cartographers error cursed one off...

Just for the heck of it Memequay I think we should take a shot down there this sunday. Maybe film and post. You're right about the memory thing I forgot JJ did get wet in Barnum Green. We spent 3 weekends looking for his hat pin. Good fun playing in the rapids never found the hat pin. My tin...

Thanks for all the info everyone. I've never heard of the stern pry so now I can stop hiding at the back. The link for the suggested video from bothwell voyageur is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr2fi4NBUGc. I've never used it like these folks are amazing.Love the music to.

I'd have to differ to Memequay I'd believe his knowledge of that system is better than mine.

Was that bear or beer killin cause if you're using the ripster on a poor mugwa again I don't know

I started canoe tripping in 1972 and until 2008 lived under the illusion that I actually new what I was doing. At which point a butterfly pointed out that my J stroke was actually the Goon stroke. It seems that if I pointed my thumb in the other direction I'd achieve the J stroke and so paddling...

I would think anyone on this site could survive if given opportunity. Memequay could take you over to Martin or Barnum green rapids on the Namewaminikan River were in 1975 the Geraldton Outer's Club shot these rapids without incident. After words Bill and Joyce Mason did the trip and assigned a...

A few years ago I had the pleasure of paddling with canoe builder 30 years my junior in the bow. What a treat. I learned in my youth that having a heart felt discussion about were you wanted to go while sitting on a rock in the middle of the rapids was well counter productive. I think the...

Great pic's Memequay Woody tells the staff nurse we're bustin out of the asylum and headin to Faubert Lake. I'd like to come up thru Toronto but I think Woody's got his heart set on Gordon Creek. I hope there's speck's in Gordon cause we might be there a while. Good call on Fullerton.
