Hey guys, I recently put together a video on waterproofing options, mostly about the different types of drybags, pelican hard cases, along with barrels and the Yeti Backflip (a submersible backpack cooler). Let me know what you think, and feel free share what gear you use to keep your food &...

Deodorant is for the weak, I take pride in my barbarism.

My poop kit consists of Tp, a small trowel, hand sanitizer and camp suds. All together in a small drybag.

These barrels are classic, make sure to get yourself a solid harness for it too. I personally recommend the Level Six “Badhass Adjustable Harness”. As far as can see it’s the best universal barrel harness on the market. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had plenty of black bear encounters, they don’t bother me in the slightest, will usually throw up a bear hang as a deterrence; if they want my food they’ll at least have to put in some serious work to get it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very interesting yellowcanoe, I’ll have to give that a shot, still trying to wrap my head around how this method works, but I think I get it, in theory at least. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got love those trees for solid a break on the trail, have always called them “V” or “Y” trees, in fact some portages like the 2.8 km on the North T loop in Algonquin already have canoe rest already built Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys, just recently put together a quick video on “How to Solo Lift a Canoe” or at least how I do it. Feel free to chime in and share your opinions, your own personal methods, along with your experiences on the portage trail. https://youtu.be/1x4npgavsxs - Cheers Sent from my iPhone...

I’m a big fan of the GSI Portable Java Press, makes for great easy coffee. You gotta have the good stuff every morning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Beauty pics! I also, like Bruce am not a big fan of bent-shaft paddles, I find them too niche and not versatile enough, at least for style of paddling. But to each their own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Which tent? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just recently came back from the Petewawa River in Algonquin, the bugs were definently out in force this year, we were all decked out in our big net suits also known as “Muskoka lingerie” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys, was just wondering what paddles everyone uses and for what purposes. Nowadays I primarily use my Grey Owl Guide Cherry 60 for most of my flatwater canoe trips and use my Werner Bandit Carbon 56 for use in Whitewater. Please feel free to share your opinions on the subject and let us...

Hey guys, I know many members on this site are accustomed to paddling in wilderness environments, but there are also great opportunities to have a great time in urban environments. I find that this is a great way to get out on the water and to get friends into paddle sports in the first place...

Fair criticism, thx for the input. I will admit this video is more oriented towards modern snowshoes, although I do briefly make reference to the Huron / Algonquin style of snowshoes as well as the “bearpaw” and ojibwe styles. I personally prefer the modern options, much better at handling...

I primarily use modern snowshoes but I definently have an appreciation for those of the traditional variety. How long have you had those puppies? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys, was wondering how many of you have had experience with snowshoes, for what purpose and where you’ve used them. Also if you own a pair speak up and let us know what you got. I have the “Atlas Access 30” Snowshoes and use them primarily for walks in the woods, small hikes and often will...

If you put in the effort to rescue the boat, I’d say it’s in your hands. Now that’s some “trip treasure” if you ask me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You are totally correct, the smaller the space, the easier it it to keep warm. - Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea it was definitely not luxurious, meant to be a quick solo survival shelter, was very warm and cozy despite being so tight on space within the interior of the shelter. The video was meant to illustrate how you build a quincee in a pinch with very limited resources.
