    How one guy makes an axe sheath.....

    Rob, Thank you for taking the time and effort to capture and post that fantastic info! Posts like that are eye opening tutorials and make me think, " I should give that a try!" Very neat work to be proud of. It's something I can try my hand at with my boys so we can all learn something new...

    Bug Juice and other ideas to keep pests at bay

    My wife bought a bottle of the Repel Lemon Eucalyptus spray that Driftwood recommended (Target carries it). While working in the yard this evening I tried it out. I was impressed, she sprayed my arms and neck, the mosquitoes would not go anywhere near those areas instead landing on my pant legs...

    Kaine, Thank you very much for the info. I went back and read last years report, looked nice! I have heard of the trail but am very surprised it is that busy! I'll keep your advice in mind if we head up that way. I'd like to do the Au Sable but don't want to do it on a weekend when it is...

    Upper Manistee April 19-20-2013

    Thanks for the trip report, you are brave! Weather down state was not conducive to hiking or canoeing, hats off to you for braving it up there. Quick question, I'm just starting out, you mention camp 7 etc, is there a website you can recommend that shows the trails and campsites up there...

    Thanks for sharing Robin. I am envious that the 'glass came off so easy, but very happy that it did! It doesn't look to be too bad from the pictures, I'll be looking forward to when you do pick back up on it.

    Two more wood canvas canoes

    Wow, nice score! At least you have the space for them to wait their turn. Just be patient when it comes to fiberglass removal, it is a pain. I have a Rushton Indian Girl that I am de-glassing very slowly, we won't go into details of how slowly ��. Congratulations on expanding your...

    Hi from Michigan

    Here's a picture of our OTCA, the OTCA model of that era is what used to be Old Town's Yankee model. I like it, to a rookie like me it seems to be stable, as I had all of my family individually taking turns standing up and paddling around in it first day out to raise the comfort level with no...

    Hi from Michigan

    Thank you for the welcome. Hopefully I won't drive people nuts with questions. Yellowcanoe, I was a wcha member, I do need to renew. I follow their forums regularly. Robin suggested this site after I commented on one of his threads there.

    Hi from Michigan

    I just realized I had posted before without an introduction. I am a newbie to canoe tripping. I've camped my entire life, went canoeing as a kid but nothing serious. I started longing to get out on the water and share the peace and quiet with my family, so my wife bought me a '59 O.T. Otca for...

    Old Ax heads

    I keep an eye out when trolling but haven't found anything interesting yet. Hatchets seem to be more popular than axes around here. I did scrounge a Canadian National Railway ax out of my Dad's garage. Having trolled the bushcraft pages too, curious what size ax people on this board prefer?

    So, what old item do you still use?

    $50 seems steep until you try and find an actual Stonebridge, they are normally $75-$100 when I see them in the antiques stores around me...
