Thanks for the sun screen tip.

Big thank you to Bothwell Voyaguer for making 2 great toboggan bags for my trip! this is the second set of tripping bags he has made for me. PS, the red bags are faster!

Yea Kahel, I was surprised when I looked at a selfi picture after wearing goggles and saw how red I was. I actually put on sunscreen which they did put on the supply list. After seeing that I wondered what my toes looked like but was to scared to look. Funny as I type this my nose is cold in...

Whoo Hooo! Thanks to Air Canada for getting me there and a HUGE shout out to Lure of the North, Kie, Dave Marrone, Nero and the team for getting me through the trip and back home. I've been waiting about 5 or more years after watching Hoop's videos's and Wintertrekking website. All I can...

Leaving on Friday, renting some gear and bringing my own. Got quite a few emotions going from excited, nervous, happy and others. Interesting when being limited to 2 duffel bags and a small backpack. I'm so used to taking the kitchen sink but it's nice to take what's needed and not my wants...

congrats!

Looks great Robin! enjoy it .

Yes Snapper, lucky me they started a trip like that. Nice and easy one step at a time. Glenn, the way our winters are going it might not be so bad. But you know my screen name is "coldfeet" so I'm planning on getting those boots that Bob B just mentioned. I always wanted the Mukluks and not...

Woa! Bob B! So over the years I bought 3 pairs of wooden snowshoes, sort of got into decorating the "man cave". One pair are the Bear Paws, other is the modified Bear Paws and then the big arse Teardrops. The Teardrops are HUGE and it was a spur of the moment (for sale on FB these days)...

Thanks Jim and Snapper. The knee feels great, just wish they programmed something into it to make me a better dancer! That’s also on a list. Not sure if my wife trusts me dancing so close to her feet. Best to you both. Talk soon.

I signed up this week to finally go on one if their winter trips. After about 6 years I guess reading about them on Wintertrekking I am finally able to go since I retired from teaching in June! Now the city boy will go into Canada! I have been collecting gear and going on car camping and...

Yes! Good to hear from you. I love the hat and have used it on many paddling occasions. Hope all is well. You so kind and generous giving me the hat plus some fabric for a spray skirt. So has the boat lived up to your plans? Always wished I could have gone on those long adventures with it...

wow! great job!

Thanks Bob, just replied back on other thread.

Thank you Bob for your offer, John is very close to me. Appreciate your help. Thanks again.
