Jon & all fellow trippers ; Eat ,Drink , & be Merry , Welcome Yule !!!

Thanks Trippers for the great time ! This second annual gathering vies with the first for camaraderie , viands and allegory wrapped up with woodsmoke and water. My favorite mixture ! Great to meet the new attendees & see former cohorts again. Those who missed it, remember 98% of life is...

I'm on the same page with You Robin with that solo, wasn't that a Willow by Jerry Stelmok. Never seen one in the flesh before, fine lines on that craft, Oh so very fine. I really don't need another canoe but maybe ....... I just need a better sales pitch to the bride !

The gang rides again. The pack is in bristol fashion & ready to sail , would send a picture but I don't own a cell phone ( spent all my money on wooden canoes, pack baskets & canvas tents, you've got to have priorities after all ! ). It will make it's grand premiere & maiden voyage to Little Tupper.

Is there still room ? I think I could make it .

I'll bet the hunters underpants weren't unscathed !

Ditto on Seeker's Campmor cagoule, went to buy a backup late last year & was very disappointed they were discontinued them , they packed up small were airey & gave perty near full protection while underway plus they did not break the bank.

Once while shore fishing for walleyes on the icy Delaware, I was wading across a tributary , my dog swam across upstream & was swept into me knocking me off my feet plunging us both into ice flows on the main river. By luck We were caught in a submerged tree & were able to claw our way back...

Yes YC it did, we went up with wool clothing & appropriate gear for that time of year & I believe it hit 80 every day, the river was boney but passable & all in all a stellar trip , other than the group I was with, not a soul except two seasoned trippers from south carolina who had been to every...

Mike, Pennsylvania has what is called a launch permit sticker to use pfbc ramp facilities & stocked lakes for non powered craft ,motorized (gas or electric ) craft need a registration # affixed to the hull statewide.

Thanks YC forgot what day it was!

That's closing the barn door after the horse has escaped , raw wood may harbor EABs but milled and dried lumber should not & how about products that were produced years ago prior to the infestation ?

Keep me posted guys I'm chompin at the bit, the ice just left ponds in my area but I'm sure its still pretty thick up ADK.

Works well if woods is straight grain 6" dia. & 12" long (camp wood ), Up till last year I split 6 cords by hand annually. The only way to do that are wedge & sledge. Try to split 24" x 24" logs of hornbeam or crotch sugar maple with an axe see how long that will take, it won't be a short...

Bard , Enjoy , Enjoy ! I'm sure the apple don't fall far from the tree so Get the old man out. He might have learned a trick or two . I've just Camped with Him once & picked up a few.

Fire , Air , Earth & Water whats left to want for ? Thanks Robin !

Those handles are checkered for a non slip grip , also children should be schooled on proper knife handling ie. keep a knife sharp so you don't have to force it , don't use it for purposes it was not designed for , that's how you cut yourself , after all most pocket and kitchen knives have no...

After being without a computer since the new year I return to find a subject near & dear to my own experience. Robin may I throw my hat into the ring with the dexter russell 5" fish knife w/ walnut handle. On sale now at katom resturant supply (sku#10411), two should only be around $35...

I've had one for quite a few yrs., straight forward to erect & dry as a bone, made to stand a torture test.
