    Permits for Missainabi River

    Hi folks, Well, provided the snow fall is appropriate my brother and I will tackle the Miss in June. We will jump on the train in Sudbury blah, blah, blah. My issue is getting the permits. I don't want to start on Missainabi Lake because of the terrifying pictographs but it seems I might...

    Dreaded Cancer, Mark III

    That is a very sad story. I am sorry for you and your family. I have heard people prioritize sex over the surgery - I know one right now. We have lunch at Christmas each year. We had occasion to go to the men's room at the same time. I am fairly certain he is still in there. Important to...

    Dreaded Cancer, Mark III

    All, I have been receiving some likes from my earlier cancer announcement from a year ago. I do appreciate them but I don't want to double dip! Thank you everyone, VERY kind as always. For some newer folks, I throw my medical maladies out for educational purposes - not sympathy. I have...

    PortagePal to carry paddles and fishing rods

    I bring one paddle on the initial port, but after that I lash my other paddle and both rods under the seat/thwarts with shoe laces. Works like a charm. And I've got back-up.

    https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/04262000/#dataTypeId=continuous-00065-0&period=P7D&showMedian=false I am sure everyone is familiar with this but what the heck. I used to look at Snoflo but I like to call the rangers.

    Good Morning . Idle chat about your morning, your weather, your plans for the day.

    Gearing up today for what might possibly be my last time downhill skiing. I started 53 years ago, so I wasn't late to the party or anything.

    LL Bean Hunters Carryall Pack

    Probably not - Chick and I pretty much stick to ourselves. No affiliation to any organizations or anything. We retired a couple of years ago and since we have been traveling, skiing, and biking, all the while enjoying retirement. As I tell Chick, if I knew how much fun retirement was going...

    LL Bean Hunters Carryall Pack

    I've had this pack forever. When in MI I like to hike in to trout ponds and steelhead streams. Keeps my stuff separated dry/wet. Waders, vest, fleece garments, food, water, it carries it all. Nice suspension system - very comfortable. If I didn't have one I'd buy this one but it wears...

    The effect of tariffs on the paddling industry

    There are companies I used for years right across borders that do this. They monitor inventories and drop ship.

    Training?

    Certainly didn't want to stir up any controversy. I worked construction before - I was unaware I was at the bottom of the construction totem pole. In my experience there were people doing tasks on job sites where I was happy to be "at the bottom of the construction totem pole". All a...

    Is Social Media Undermining and Distorting Actual Wilderness Experiences?

    I imagine NY is a bit different then BC, but I would have to say while all three exist, and the first two are certainly out there, I can't say there is only one other type out there. I have met many different types of folks in the woods. From 100% naked women, guys tripping on something that...

    Does anyone have a canoe set up with a rowing rig ?

    I am interested in this topic, although I would like to face stern to stretch my back when rowing for exercise and facing rear for trolling. During covid I contacted a company (Wiseman Trading?) that had production currently paused. I got on the list for contact but never heard from them...
