    Mec Lightield 4season tent on Thelon River 2004. Great tent. This tent belongs to a younger man now who I'm sure will put it to good use.

    Robin's move

    Good luck with the move Robin. I have genealogical roots in northern Maine which is probably the one state I'd be comfortable to live in. Some of Maine's wilderness reminds me of home. Enjoy the grand kids and being close to family. Once you are settled in and comfy and a trip to LV crosses your...

    Suggestions for a 3 person tent

    Thanks to those who have replied. I also had Timberlines 2 and 4. The children inherited them when they decided to go camping with their friends instead of their parents. It's sad about the MEC's present quality of their house brand tents. There was a time when their tents were top notch. Had a...

    La Vérendrye opening on June 5th

    Hi YC, right now I'd rather wait awhile. Even if the season is dry we have a lot of black flies this year. Mid August should be great with less people than usual. G.

    Suggestions for a 3 person tent

    Thanks YC. Yes the MSR did have a good rep for leak resistance right out of the factory. We here we do not have the same selection of tents to chose from as you people down there. My problem is that the credit Mec gave me has to be used in a Mec store or Mec online. The Mec selection of tents...

    Suggestions for a 3 person tent

    Just brought a 2 year old Mec tent back for a credit. Seams were coming apart. Now I'm looking for a 3 person 3 season tent in the $300.00 - $400.00 CDN range. Mec sell a lot of MSR tents but most reviews say that they take in water even when new. Anyone here have a recently purchased MEC 3...

    It's better to be bow paddler in a pandemic

    Up here in Quebec we do not have to worry about canoeing partner contagion as all our rivers and lakes run only North - South and here the wind only blows form the West.;):cool:. We also practice safe sex which means sleeping in our own tents. :rolleyes::cool: Stay safe guys. G.

    Post Apocalypse Tripping World

    Hey BF, Trying to be realistic. So far the virus is still scoring points on our D-fence and we are already mid-April. As The Prophet says: "The more you do without, the more you'll appreciate". It's going to be great to get out there again. Happy trails man. G.

    Post Apocalypse Tripping World

    The way I see it the return to normal will be slow until we are all vaccinated. Borders will probably remained closed to the general public until then. It will probably be difficult for us Canadians to use our parks and canoeing areas this calendar year. The older we are the longer it will take...
