    What kinds of dry meats do people bring?

    Homemade jerky or any dry sausage. They will all say keep refrigerated but a dry cured meat will keep. I have done this for long trip and never had an issue. I'd like to try making my own Biltong

    Reflectix Cozies (and Nashua FlexFix foil tape)

    I picked up a roll from the local flower shop for free. They get their bulk flowers delivered wrapped with this stuff and usually just throw out what nobody takes. I have enough to make a sleeping pad for additional warmth in the hammock.

    How many packs?

    That is a incredibly subjective question. I would say 2 packs, plus 2 small personal packs would be plenty. I saw three guys embark on a week long trip with one giant pack. Saw a family of 4 carry enough to completely outfit a medium size cottage too.

    Question: Never Boat Alone

    This thread is like the couch in the doctors office. :( I started solo because I had nobody who would go when I wanted to go. I solo now because I am getting too stubborn and like doing things the way I do them. And because there is nobody around to go when I want to go. It sure would be nice...

    Oh Canada!....

    Here in Red Lake we are going through a crazy warm spell. The snowpack is disappearing and the lakes are sketchy for travel. We need a good solid freeze for another 2 weeks and some more snow or else spring will be very early. To get a warm day or two is not unusual but this has been about a...

    The Canoe

    Came here to post this. Glad others already found it. Goh Iromoto has made a few shorts that capture nature beautifully. i believe he did a tourism video for Temagami. I did notice the title was The Canoe Trailer, does this mean there is a longer film in the works? Please say yes.

    Gear that annoys you

    I have some bug pants and other than the weird fit, they are too slippery and I'm always sliding on the kneeling thwart.

    so you got rid of a boat cache.

    WCPP threatened with motorized access

    I'm not dismissing it at all but the claim of being greener than other operators is what I'm interested in. I think solar is actually cheaper than generators when you consider the cost of flying in fuel and the substantial outlay for the generator, fuel tank and flights to get those in. None...

    WCPP threatened with motorized access

    Perhaps Schwartz can give some detail on his "green" practices. We all like the idea of a smaller footprint. Solar power is not unique nor rare in camps so you can dismiss that idea

    WCPP threatened with motorized access

    WCPP is classed a Wilderness Park, and as such there is very restrictive motorized access year round. As many of you have experienced first hand the more portages you put between you and the motorized access points the less garbage, the less destructive impact on the land. It seems one outfitter...
