Are there any trees up north, you could make the jump to a hammock.

Karin that is so classy looking. Can't wait to see it with the graphic on. I hope you are stepping back and looking at what we are seeing, instead of giving it the critical eye at nose length away. You and I are our own worst critics.

IIRC the first step (twelve step program) is admitting you are powerless over G.A.S.

Brad, I just want you to know that I hold no ill will toward you for being a knife collection hater. If you weren't so far away I would consider rounding up some of the guys and holding a intervention for you. My heart aches to see you own a nice quality fixed blade (with a wooden handle of...

Thank you.

Or canoe builders.

Good one Robin.

So a never ending collection of knives is a problem?!!!!!!!!!!! Oh the horrors of enjoying a collection. Maybe your right Brad. Maybe one should only spend his hard earned money paying bills and never indulge himself.

I would like to mention that I don't recommend wearing a fixed blade on your belt in case you fall on it. I carry mine in my day pack. I wear my folder on my belt. My biggest concern while canoe tripping is not large critters, it's that I might fall and get injured far from the truck.

I take a fixed blade along, but not instead of anything. I use my folder for most knife tasks. I use an axe for axe work, a saw for sawing and a knife for normal knife tasks. I guess I'm no fun. My sheath knife see's little to no use but I feel more comfortable have one along in case I need it...

Bob, "It is what it is" has become a way of life for me. Hopefully you will gain some more ground. I have fair days and bad days but I think I have spent most of my good days. I will keep making adjustments as I go. My daughter recently lost her job so I said good, I need a bow paddler in early...

Good for you Bob. Glad you got out for a romp in the woods and a paddle. I like your friend. Is the knee pretty good by now? I'm pretty sluggish yet. I've had two short river walks but no paddling yet. Dave

Anyone else have a weird noise story?

On my trip last fall, during the night I awoke to hear the noise of someone walking near our hammocks and around the our camp site. I called to Anna and asked if she was up and about. She replied from her hammock "no". I said "do you here footsteps?" She said yes, so I got up to check it out. By...

Just ordered the book. I must have missed this one but I don't mind backtracking into children's books. I live in my own little world anyway. People at work call it planet Dave. On planet Dave it is always sunny and 72* with white fluffy clouds and butterflies. Sort of a pastoral setting with a...

My daughter lost her job this week so she will be going with me if she is still unemployed at that time. Otherwise a solo trip.

Very cool Jim. The abnormally warm day had me getting out the calendar to plan some time off for a spring trip. Going to head up to the BWCA the first part of May.

Just got back from riding my motorcycle, oh wrong forum.

I learned to dry ground beef from Harlan at solotripping. Cook in pan till done. Boil water in another pan while cooking. Drain off the majority of grease and dump in a big bowl. Pour the hot water in the bowl and stir. Wait a few and then stir again. All the grease will float to the top. Refrig...
