I think it would benefit from the elevation that the shoulder pads give because my yoke is really just a thwart... no neck cure to it. ​ Placing them off center sounds like a good idea, should build a little more space between my neck and the bar. Now that sound like a combo I could get on...

I was kink of thinking that elevating the bar off my neck would do the trick. Padding the bar might work too. Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately the clamp on ones will have to go right were the current one is. But the yoke pads look interesting. I've tried the pool noodle and its definitely...

+1 to yellowcanoes link. My dog took a skunk straight to the face a year ago and I made a paste with peroxide and backing soda (don't think we used the dish soap) but we did a couple applications of that and and it really worked a treat. On day one you'd have to get within about a foot or two...

My wooden canoe has a straight yoke, I suppose its more of a thwart than a yoke but either way it is more than a little uncomfortable to carry this thing around. I'm not terribly interested in changing the yoke to one that is yoke shaped largely because this is the original thwart.....and I'm...

I have one of these little gems; Kapilka Cup. Its small but I don't mind, I don't like to drink from a cup with a lid but I do like my coffee hot so the small volume allows for frequent refills and not enough time for it to get cold. That being said, when I winter camp I'll use a cup with a...

Great shot BWCA66!

Thank you. Sadly I didn't bring my canoe on this trip, but will next time as I'd like to explore the flooding.

Good stuff Bioguide, I'm a big fan of those Ovaeasy eggs, that's good eat'n, looked great with the sausage in it. Sure it pretty up there.

Oh man, congratulations!! Thats super cool. Really enjoying the report, can't wait for more. Great photos of clouds and crap. ;)

That was really nice. I'm loving that hat, I need to get one of those. Thanks for taking us along.

What a great trip. I've hiked that area a few times but never paddled on the big lake, definitely on the to-do list. Great photos too.

What a great story!

You're totally missing out, you gotta come back and give it a try. Thank you Sweeper, I lug around a lot of camera gear, but I do enjoy taking pictures.

Thanks Robin. I do enjoy playing with the reflector oven, I enjoy it even more when giant chocolate chip cookies come out of it. :D Love the chair, its and REI something or other, and its quite comfortable and its a bit taller than my old chair so a bit easier on the entry/exit. Thank you...

I'm having trouble getting a video together for this trip (time wise anyway) so I'll throw out some fotos and a brief rundown of the trip. We started on Rain lk. by the time we got on the water it was afternoon but we didn't have super far to go so we weren't concerned. Stopped on the big...

Thank you.

To answer your second question you can check with the ranger when you get your permit if the sites on the lakes on your itinerary are full then you'll get a better idea for how important it is to keep to your itinerary. Last year I stayed on a lake I didn't schedule and it was no problem there...

My wife and I stayed at the Riverside Motel in Dwight in July of this year,which is only a few miles outside the west gate, had a nice breakfast just down the road, I think it was the Moose Cafe.

Thanks Snapper.
