Unfortunately, I didn’t make over. Hopefully next year.

Has anyone every visited this show, ADKshow.com ? It’s on this weekend in Johnstown, NY.

Snow is just about gone here, 64 degrees yesterday, new record high in Albany, NY.

My wife likes the Folgers coffee bags when we are traveling. I’m a tea drinker myself, so teabags for me.

My wife and I thought about moving to NC or TN, but the water moccasins and copperheads put and end to that thought.

I’ll third that, Bruce at CCO was great.(y)

We stayed with Canoe Country Outfitters in Ely, MN. The have a great facility with tent sites, cabins and RV sites on Moose Lake, they also offer rentals and transportation. Nice people.

We had one of them barking at us as we left East Glacier lodge.;)

I really like my Northstar Trillium, the Firebird should make a nice quick water stream boat with its increased rocker.

My Trillium is the same way, pretty sure closed cell foam does not absorb water. From Northstar's site: Northstar arrived at our current flotation after research and development. We designed our end tanks to reduce weight, maximize space for paddlers and gear, and safely float a capsized...

I looked at the Frybake and what’s not to like, lightweight, versatile, durable and made in the USA.

Trangia, makes frying pans that are aluminum with a stainless steel liner, lightweight and durable.

I have a Northstar Trillium pack boat in Blacklite and unfortunately this year I have encountered a few submerged rocks and it does show scratches. I found that if the scratches are superficial I use a Sharpie fine point permanent marker in slate grey and they disappear. The same for my wife’s...

Glenn, why not just purchase a wireless camera and stick it on the trailer or van when you get to the boat launch?

I have a Trillium pack and really enjoy it. The Firebird would be too wind sensitive for me but you could ask Northstar about installing their lounger seat instead of the foam seat. The lounger seat has 12” of adjustment fore and aft and adds around 3 lbs..

Why not pack an alcohol/twig stove?

Wow, you got lucky finding that boat. It is beautiful.

What about a Northstar Trillium solo in IXP layup, 38 lbs.? It has 2.5” X 1.5” rocker which should be a better maneuvering river/stream canoe.

We are considering a Northstar Polaris, it is a little trimmer/faster, and slightly less rocker which should allow it to track better in windy conditions when crossing open water. I purchased a NS Trillium pack this spring and it is a very nice canoe.

I like Halpc’s idea, but if a trailer is easier on the pocketbook, I would suggest the trailer made by The Dock Doctors. We have one and I am a 70 year old lightweight that handles the trailer easily.
