Crowded is a relative spectrum, and the BWCA has pieces that are all over that spectrum. The PMAs are almost untraveled. The big entry lakes may have 30+ groups on them. The layout of entry points that makes the area so easy to access make it, well, easy to access. Find an area that takes at...

More civilization and more people. Not a belittlement, but what it is, more developed portages, pit toilets, fire grates, steady traffic, and thousands of works of incredibly granular data for trip planning. And a lot of cell service. FWIW, a lot of videos I see out of Algonquin look similar to...

Great looking scenery!

This is good info to have. I have been running into a similar problem and believed it was some form issue causing the imbalanced fatigue. While my form is definitely a work in progress, I am glad to hear that there might just be some muscle adaptation happening alongside.

That looks like a great trip. Thank you for sharing!

Yessir, that is one of the three reasons I bought the erg. The MR340 can be a big mind game, and I want to be as mentally resilient as possible coming out of hard water season.

Great thread idea, Alan. I have just started training for the 2027 MR340. Depending on how that goes, I may become more involved in canoe racing. Looking forward to seeing some info! Do workouts on a paddle erg count? I have one on order to train through the winter.

Unfamiliar with the rotisserie chicken story? 😄 https://www.canoetripping.net/threads/reservoir-manicouagan-qc-aug-sep-2025.130388/#post-180002

Looks like a wild ride.

And time period covered. I would say the Nile would be a heavy contender. Modern era, the Mississippi has certainly claimed a lot of lives.

Yeah, these specs look great! If the shear is as spec'd, and not off by 2" like a certain Canadian company, it will hopefully be a great northern river tripper. Thanks for tagging me!

My son and I drove through the area yesterday, and I thought of this thread. It is phenomenal scenery! It is higher on my list of want-tos now.

I look forward to seeing this progress!

I look forward to following this build!

The videos are insane. The scour line is over two hundred feet high in some places.

Well, I haven't ever tried a BA pad... Sounds like I dont want to... 😁 They make good stuff for bug guys too, a shame. I love my BA chair.

Thats odd. My Klymit, Nemo, and Amok pads all deflate with the pump. Sometimes it is a little fiddly getting started.

Flextail for me. As alluded to above, the moisture-free inflate is nice, but the DEFLATE feature is what makes it worth it to me. Down to packable size the first time.

Looks great!

Ooh, tit-for-tat from both perspectives. I like it!
