    Help me decide on a cook set.

    Trangia Tundra cook sets are available from Canadian Outdoor Equipment. I have had good luck with using the individual Trangia pots and fry pans on their own without the Trangia windshields. Good luck.

    Water Filters or Boiling? Which do you prefer?

    We filter all of our drinking and cooking water with a Katadyn Pocket Filter that has a charcoal filter on the outlet side of the ceramic filter. Our cleanup water is not filtered. Katadyn Micropur tablets or boiling provide the backup.

    Minnesota Prairie Paddling

    It has been very interesting in our area this summer. A number of the flowages between the lakes that normally have lily pads now have wild rice. The water levels are up, so I don't know what could have changed from years past. Normally, the areas between lakes would be choked with water lily...

    Minnesota Prairie Paddling

    Minnesota prairie paddling at it's best! We are lucky that we have had above average rainfall or the paddling would REALLY be tough.

    Experience with Yakima Trailer for Canoe Transport

    For what it is worth, Sportsrig is made in the U.S.A. and the Yakima is/was made in China. Steel vs aluminum. Our Sportsrig has been worth every penny, especially after a 20 mile paddle and you don't have to lift the boats up on top of the vehicle or when you are driving in 40 Mph gusts and you...

    Experience with Yakima Trailer for Canoe Transport

    We have used a Sportsrig Trailer for years and thousands of miles. It pulls great behind my 2012 Ford Fiesta, twice out to Washington state with two QCC kayaks. We have the original tires and last winter had a machine shop replace the bearings in the hubs. It has been used for the two kayaks...

    Maiden Voyage MN II

    Thanks to you all. It a new avenue of adventure for us. It has been many years since I have done any canoe tripping. We both love the extended kayak trips that we have done. However, we have come to the conclusion that a canoe will open up a lot areas where the frequency of portages makes...

    Maiden Voyage MN II

    We were finally able to get the new boat licensed, rigged and paddled today. Wenonah Minnesota II in carbon, with both seats being sliders and Kevlar skid plates. It isn't the least bit traditional compared to many of the classic boats on here but it was fun. In the light winds of today, it...

    PFD avoidance issues

    We always wear our PFD's. Hers is a Kokatat Orbit (you may still be able to find one) and mine is the Kokatat Orbit Tour. They allow great freedom of movement and adjustability. They are also low profile. With the pockets on the Tour filled, the front does stick out quite a bit. The main...

    Week long tripping saw?

    I have a Silky PocketBoy folding saw that is ideal for the very little I use it. I just saw the Dandy and Putsch one man crosscut saws. They look like they might be very good for more substantial use without carrying a folding or one-piece buck saw.

    Sand Bar Camping

    I have not had the pleasure of camping on a sandbar. However, some very nice sandbars have called home for some very pleasant evenings. Some of my more memorable ones have been on Birch Lake on the Kawishiwi River in Minnesota, lots of very nice beaches in Voyageur's National Park, BWCA and...

    SUP Tripping: Realistic or Ridiculous?

    Realistic. But, how do you portage those things? Not enticing to me in the least.
