The telephone cord is a paddle leash that won't be with on too many more trips, was for the double paddle but I think the single blade Black Pearl from BB is going to be my go to set up for now. Do yourself a favor and allow way more time to do the trip! There is a huge amount of stuff to see...

She looks right at home on the water! Nicely done and a great recovery of her pals. I want to try that with my solo canoe! Should be worth a laugh or two!

Thanks for the comment and thanks for the link on the sunshirts from previous. I had tried to respond but the new format is so slow on my system that I was loosing the text to the lag time. The canoe handles way better than I paddle so it will be a learning curve for me to get the most out of...

I think I was lucky enough to be there the same time as several large groups had set up for the weekend. You should be fine as there is lots of parking space etc. 6 days should be great as you would have time to enjoy it all. Worth the trip! Can you do me a favour and take pics of the upper...

This is becoming increasingly frustrating to try post with the new format. I have a ht tp://www.canoetripping.net/forums/js/ckeditor/skin/moono/icons.png... that keeps freezing up my system when I am in the forum/trip reports as well as the mentioned ultra small text from previous still fubaring...

4th trip of the year, Rabbit River to Cole lake in Nopiming Park, Manitoba off Hwy 314 just before Black Lake. A great parking spot with an outhouse and a gravel ramp into the river. Room for 20 plus cars and I found the last spot. I must start earlier as this is a popular spot. Started in the...

The subscriptions appear to be a default setting for every thread we posted in. Glad I only started! Lol

Can we have the text default size something larger than XXSmall? I am unable to change the text sizes on my trip reports from this crazy small text, any help? I did try modifiy it on my page selections menu...

Thanks for the link to the 65lt Drybag system, that would save me 2.5lbs right there. Looks to be a nice system! I do multi-task in my adventures so a proper sleeping bag is a welcome thing for me, I have both a -40c and -18c bag for colder hobbies and a -7c goosedown for the spring/fall and a...

Thanks, Going to be a real challenge to downsize the weight even more! I still have an older tent that is in the 8lbs+ and need some good light boots as well. After that I am unsure where to trim from and still keep the camp comforts (neoair and the Helinox chair are must have items) I wonder if...

Your trip pictures were a treat for me as I had been on this route many years ago! Was great to get back here and see all the improvements to the trails and camp sites. Thanks, was funny how many times I had started to drift backwards in the current while looking at the beavers/birds. I...

Another trip report, this time a little lighter on gear 90lbs with everything, including the canoe. Single carry on the portages and with a 1122 meters to carry in total, that was way better than three loads per port! :D 24km the first day and three portages and 18km the second with the same...

Very nice! Did you put in near Stormy lake? Great to see all the snow is gone! Are you able to go against the current? I love how it is still pre-green and can't wait for the season to bloom!

Thanks! I have so little time for all the adventures yet to come! I am hoping for a long list of new routes and adventures by the end of the season! I do like this area! I need more time with the double paddle before I decide anything. I just seem more comfortable with what I know (single...

Was nice to get out and have some real water to play in. All the ice and snow is now gone and the water is moving! I wanted to try capture everything on film but it was so hard to get the mood of it in the pictures. The water is crazy cold yet so I need to dial back my adventures till its safe...

Just north of Kenora in NW Ontario, Canada

Thanks, I did try one handing last time and figured that a little tripod would be way better to use. Can be seen strapped to the canoe here just above the paddle on the right--> This one is crazy light and just long enough to stick out the side a little when strapped to the thwarts/handles---...

First weekend trip with the new canoe loaded to max, 347lbs with me and gear and toys. Going to be a good test with nice weather for both Sat and Sunday. Road side put in by the bridge off Hwy 671 into Drewry lake with a cave and drag over port, line haul past rapids with a cliff face climb...

If it was open water for the long weekend that would be great! :D

Not the tone I expected on my thread regarding a "new to me" canoe. I am disappointed in the direction this thread has taken. My intent was to get some feedback on my new Keewaydin 15 pack boat and see how it rated for a multi day solo tripper for a heavy guy and gear. Perhaps we can focus on...
