I had heard the Beatty thing, and I also heard music guy David Geffen. My BIG problem is finding the receipts to JoAnn's for the cost of those glasses. Clouds moved in so I'm getting my money back.

Thank you BB, I was going to jump into the Rapala thing but figured I might get too far into the weeds. I have been correcting people for decades on that one. I also love the word Sisu. While always knowing the word due to living in the Upper Peninsula, it seems to have gained a small...

As a Finlander I have faced this pronunciation issue for years. We need some sort of 12 step program or something.

Keeled Over Death Watch - Taking Canada By Storm In my best efforts to enjoy myself, meet new people, and contribute to the Canadian economy, this summer is all about Canada. Due to lack of snow I have postponed my Missainabi trip till (hopefully) next year. Here is my plan for the summer -...

I REALLY miss that store - part of my region back in the day so many stops were made. Many years ago while looking around I came across one of those old Camp Trails Tripper XL packs. CT was not known for making really high quality gear, but I had heard about these for some time so I bought...

I have a Yeti insulated mug. I like the mug - I got it through work. I would never buy this myself, since there is a good chance I will leave it on the roof of my truck as I drive off. Just launched a $16 container of cashews off the roof last week. Only cold drinks in this. I simply...

I have taken a decidedly low tech approach to this. I have nylon cord attached to small carabiners. The carabiner stays attached to the fly (for example) even when stuffed in the sack. The nylon cord is about 20' long. When tearing down, I simply gather up the cord and secure it to the...

Always stuffed - I cannot recall where I first heard this, but the idea was if you fold it, you will probably always fold it the same way and compromises can develop in the folds. Could be a Bigfoot thing, but I have faithfully followed this advice ever since.

I know this is a bit of a drift, but winter has sucked so much I'm looking for anything to balance this mess out. Had an incredibly good time at a Peter Frampton concert last nite. Like a bunch on this site I'm sure, we saw him 40 years ago, but his show holds up very well. I have always...

Thank you for your responses. I have forwarded these to my brother and for the above reasons, and a few more, we have decided to wait until we return to Thunder Bay - some pretty good routes there.

In case you don't have it, Wabakimi Canoe Routes by the Friends of Wabakimi has been pretty helpful. $45 but it is also for a good cause. I had mine here in NY in just a few days..

Good morning everyone, I am looking to do the entire Miss with my brothers this spring. I know its a guess, but with the lack of snow this winter do you think it would be a paddle or a drag? Checking on myccr as well. Thank you.

Thank you mem. I am not a climber but my brother from Boulder is and he will be on this trip. I do have the Steel on my list though!

Hello all, Looking at pic's of the Thelon, I am curious - do kettle ponds generally contain fish? I envision casting while walking the shorelines. Made way to many casts over the years to ponds that had no fish due to acid rain and such. Trying to keep that to a minimum. Thank you!

A new toy - Thank you Mason!

Hello, No luck searching so I think I have my answer, but are there any rock climbing/bouldering opportunities in this area? Thank you.

Thank you for your replies folks - appreciate the info. I suspect I'll take a careful approach when the time arrives. It's been many years, but I got my certification for scuba in Lake Superior in March, and while we had wetsuits on I have a vivid memory of never wanting to do that again. I'm...

I love that! I used to do this in Michigan years ago and loved it. I ordered a rod just for these bad boys and it arrived today - been whipping it around the den all afternoon. August seems a long way away.

I have searched the site and done some googling but cannot find the information. It doesn't even matter really. What I am curious about are the river water temps up over 60th? Not actual temps, but a description, bathwater, ice water, etc. Seems the air temp averages 55 F or so - that makes...

Thermarest Basecamp XL mat for those comfort trips. Four lb's, 30" wide and 2" thick. Thermarest large pillow and I'm sleeping - well I really don't sleep much, but I can lie there at nite in complete comfort.
