Just what we needed in this winter without end!! Thanks. Dave

Welcome Dan. I'm ashamed to admit that the Gunpowder is about an hour north for me and I have never paddled it. Have to get up there this year. Regards, Dave

We have discussed being prepared for bears, raccoons, bugs, storms, etc, but we apparently need to be aware of a new wilderness danger. I am at a loss! http://vimeo.com/41651435 We need to think hard about this one. Regards, Dave

I'm with Canoedog and Odyssey-- I use a Bob's folding buck saw.

I bought my Bob's folding bucksaw when it was reviewed here. I think YCs comments on it made me do it. (Great saw by the way!) Blue barrel.Many books. (The interweb may me do it!)

Welcome Thistlecap from the Chesapeake! I have a similar background to you and find I love getting on the water in canoes. Simple nav, no anchor watches, no crew problems if solo, etc! Regards, Dave

I know a guide up in the BWCA. This guide uses Ziploc bags for the garbage (rules of the wilderness area say that not even garbage is burned in the fire rings). The bags go right into the food pack which is then hung. This guide does not subscribe to the "hide it away from camp" practice.

Norton, Where did you launch and did you do a shuttle or did you paddle out and back? This is not local for me but relatively close. regards, Dave
