when i have the tent-camp set up at the lake, i like to walk in after midnight after the drive-up late friday, light the woodstove and kerosene lantern then flip the canoe over and paddle around the star-filled lake for half an hour of immersion before the fresh-warmed bed... also pretty...

around here, we just throw the second pack, sideways, on top of the first...

yeah -- i've read 'canoe lake' and also his more recent non-fiction 'Northern Light: The Enduring Mystery of Tom Thomson and the Woman Who Loved Him' -- which is interesting because he grew up in the area and remembers some of the people involved. -- he has a nice journalistic rather than...

books, i get books - and a pair of leafs tickets

i have a wad of them, it was somewhere around $30 last time i counted, but that was a while ago -- years ago my grandfather would give me his at the cottage and i would by fishing lures and sundry summer supplies -- back when $1.75 was a pretty big deal -- these days, they are handy book-marks

No Title google results take into acount your previous search querries, location, and browser history....everyone's mileage varies...

i tend to bring 3 or four BIC lighters, i also have a swedish fire-steel and usually a small safe with strike-anywhere matches. I've found BIC's to be incredibly robust, i've dropped them into the water, given them a good blow or two with my mouth and lit my pipe...they don't like sitting in...

overall, i've had very few car troubles on trips, but i've had a lot of trips...it adds up :) my tacoma, which is my second taco, and third toyota truck in a row, just turned 475k -- at some point i'll probably replace it with a ford ranger...possibly 2x4 -- ground clearance is more important...

when i first contemplating moving to wood canvas, the ranger was recommended to me. i ended up with a chum a couple years later, after i lost my tremblay. a couple years ago a sudden two-week solo found me and my sled-dog in a (fiberglass) prospector 15 -- i loved it, tho with the (large)...

we were up the weekend before you, off of #60 -- was aiming for pinetree ended up doing fork/norway -- it's a great time of the year to hit the more crowded spots, because, well they're not...but the access is still easy. i was once the only canoe on canoe lake...it was snowing (then there...

4x4's generally just get you stuck where the towing is more expensive... i no longer attempt heroic things in the tacoma, tho i carry a chain and give tugs when appropriate... i never like being the only vehicle at the far end of a remote road in the off-season, besides stuck, there are so...

and there are wolves at the rain-lake access...

wall zippers, floor zippers...consider

No Title glorious! we were up the weekend before, but off of #60...is the kearney permit station still open? if i'd known that i mighta gone back to clara, the tacoma is 4x4... :)

used a similar style woods holiday tent a few years ago for a couple of seasons beside the lake -- punched a hole in the wall and screwed two roof-vents to it, one inside, one outside sandwich style with the canvas squished in-between and cut back far enough that it didn't burn...i used a sheet...

this might be of interest for those that are local enough and don't already know about... always a good winter get-together (even if i'm mostly thinking about skiing at that time of year) i used to hit it every year in the 90's -- now is more hit and miss, but i've booked a ticket and a lunch...

love this area -- great report!! paddled it a lot in the 80s and 90's when it was crown land 'the north kawartha canoe area' or some map name like that -- my camp is about 15 miles south/east from there a little south of apsley -- so the land-between topography feels like home :)

also have the Svante , also have the Paul Provencher book...i also like everything about dutch ovens except carrying them :)

wonder how it works with ghee...

i wanna get me one!
