    Dutch Oven Recipes

    Here are a couple loaves of DO bread I made for Christmas.....It's an artisan white 80% Biga. It would be extremely difficult to make in camp as the total process takes about 16 hours and you have to control the temperature the whole time.......maybe car camping.....I'm still searching for...

    “Need” a new solo!

    I have to say, that wood trim is awfully sexy on those new Phoenix! Glenn even had to drop in a photo of his SRT with those Hemlock slotted gunwales.....works of art! I've dreamt about taking my Phoenix up to Hemlock and having some custom slotted gunwales made for it......maybe...

    Cliff Jacobson

    I have quite a few of his books as well......He is definitely one of my "canoe tripping Idols". He is in his early to mid 80's now and still taking month long trips every Summer. Primarily river trips in Northern Canada. Kind of a funny story, about 10 or so years ago I was in the boundary...

    “Need” a new solo!

    When I’m on flat water with my phoenix, I’ll usually start out with a couple of “C” strokes to get some forward momentum followed by regular strokes with the occasional “J” to keep me going straight…. @Woodpuppy- congrats on getting the boat wet! 🎊🍺 Mike

    Dutch Oven Recipes

    @Odyssey - if you are interested in baking bread with a Dutch oven, you need to read “Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast” by Ken Forkish. He is a world renown bread baker out of Portland, Oregon. He specialized in artisan breads and took his recipes and tweaked them for the home baker. The hardest...

    Evolution of an Alaskan DipShip

    @Alasgun....Though I will probably never have the opportunity to fish in this manner, nor do I have the fabrication skills of yourself or many of the other members on here, I have still enjoyed following along. Keep in mind in the lower 48, we are in prime paddling season....many of the...

    Essential nonessentials.

    Definitely a chair! I forget the model, but started out with the original Helinox chair years ago, but as I get older it got harder to get out of....hard on the knees, so I upgraded a few years ago to the newer, similar model with longer legs......much easier....I also carry a helinox table for...

    Photo of the day

    The below pic was taken a couple of weeks ago from our campsite on Red Rock Lake in the BWCA. The moon was just coming over the hillside on the far side of the lake and at about 2 o’clock you can see another glow that was bright enough to throw a reflection on the lake as well. My buddy...
