    Fears while paddling or on canoe trips

    I cannot find the quote, but it was from an intrepid explorer who, when asked if he was ever afraid when wilderness tripping, answered, “Every minute.” Sometime I’ll run into that quote again and give it credit.

    Photos of Animals, Fish, Birds & Bugs on a Canoe Trip

    There are piebald dear around me. One summer a doe and her fawn hung out in a clearing near the power line. I think they done last long because they are too easy for predators, including human hunters, to see. This picture, not mine, looks the most like the last doe I saw.

    Excellent. The last two trips I really could have used a saw. One of these. Could fit nicely into my kit.

    Potentially promising canoe boots

    I definitely need a higher than ankle boot for better support. I didn’t know leather would keep out water for short immersions. Define short, please.

    Candle Lantern: Safely use in a tent? How to clean?

    I ordered things from Early Winters. I loved their catalogs. Personally, I’d be afraid to use a flame inside the tent. I’m just too cluttered or clumsy. But I love the look. I’ve used them in off grid cabins and sometimes in my home when the power goes out.
