No Title Great to meet some of the good folks from this forum who share a passion for canoeing, camping and nature. and thanks to Robin for being a great host. Beautiful property n forest behind and very cool to see the canoes. Coldfeet, The taco meat was venison, you mighta had some of that ...

Are you guys staying Saturday night as well? It'll be 1 night for me, Friday or Saturday. Anyone bringing trade blanket items? I've got some misc. stuff to move along but also interested in buying used gear. Anyone bringing maps - would be great to talk trip planning! Robin said he has...

Thanks Bioguide, that is very helpful. What is the reflective pad? A heat shield designed for a car window? After having it for awhile, are you glad that you put in the vinyl velcro door? Good luck hunting this weekend!

Ok, It'll be a tight squeeze but I might have to give it a try and hope it'll work out. If I put the boat in the garage and close the garage door I should be able to carefully maneuver the canoe for storage..at least for longer term during winter when I don't take it down every other weekend. My...

Lots of good info, thanks! I do have a 0F down bag and a MSS sleeping system so should be good to get started.

thanks for all the responses. Space constraints do limit storage options. Building a rack on the wall for the canoe to sit on the gunwales will come too far out for a car to ever be parked in the garage again. That would be fine by me..but i'm married and need to compromise. Hoisting it would...

welcome, sure is fun chasing after adk trout!

I've got a 16'6" kevlar mad river explorer and want to store it on the garage wall. Has anyone tried this product? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002YCH640/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3DNH4E70JEDSL&coliid=I25KWLB6IQUX5R&psc=1 Is there something better? thanks!

I'd like to try and make it for a night. If so, will bring some wild game to cook on the ol cold steel pan.

Welcome Jack.

Yellowcanoe, have you stayed out colder than 0F? Did you just bring extra floor padding beyond pad and minicell flooring? Or keep the stove going all night? helpful. I'm considering the 9x11.5 shortwall or the 8x10. Did you ever fit 3 cots in the 9x11.5 exp shortwall? or is it more like 2...

Great feedback thanks. Bioguide, im on that forum but hold canoe campers in the highest regard so asked here first. Actually wanted your opinion 😊 and Robins, etc.. Think ground will be fine for me unless solo basecamping then I might consider a cot. Bselect, I was thinking the same thing to...

Id try to make that, would be fun to meet some canoe campers even without any paddling. For wintertrekking site , you may want to email the site mod to get approval, that is what I did after a wait.

Do you use a cot when sleeping in a hot tent and/or a strong R value pad and the ground? I'm considering purchasing either the snowtrekker exp shortwall 8x10 or 9x11.5 and suppose sleeping setup will make a big difference. I'd like to be able to go solo, +1 or +2 people and also use a pulk sled...

Paypal sent. Thanks for a great site with great people.

Looked like a great trip. I've got to learn about cold weather wet/dry suit type gear for winter paddling, as long as the water is open!

Some nice boats, passed along to a friend looking for a solo tripper. thx for the link.

Really like your peaceful videos, captured the main reason I enjoy canoe tripping.

Just taught a 1 day outdoor adventure camp for kids and made them pancakes and grilled cheese on the pan. Maybe we should start a thread - Pictures of meals cooked outside on a cold handle pan.

I've been studying the map of the area, it's so full of possibilities - thanks for the trip idea. Might even do a hike along the the NPT trail in the area.
