    There is someone on the road

    Fantastic! WELCOME. I wouldn't worry about the English, some of us who speak it regularly don't always do a good job either. A different place, a different style - all of which I'm interested. I'm a lone camper/canoe guy too and would like to learn more about your experience.

    Ok.... Who's Hibernating?

    ...in our neck of the woods the temperature will fall to - 18 C in the wee hours of the morning. That's 0.4 American. Tomorrow it drops to a whopping -9.4 American. That's even cold for this part of the country. Let me see now - oh ya, about my winter camping plans. The good thing is we have...

    The Mighty Sleeping Bag

    ...I can appreciate comfort is the essence of a good nights sleep. Spending time doing research will pay dividends. People who have slept near me tell me I toss and turn frequently at night making the standard mummy bag impractical. So I have a rectangular bag and make the necessary adjustments...

    Buy any equipment recently?

    ...maddening isn't it? The top of the line is sometimes the bottom of the barrel. Ya I've done that - impulsed bought. And with always, regret.

    The Mighty Sleeping Bag

    Going to bed warm is perfectly fine.... but you are right if you are over heated. Wearing cloths is always a debate. Certainly in the summer time you should not be wearing clothing to bed. Two reasons among others - first, you don't know what is sleeping with you and second you might be...

    The Mighty Sleeping Bag

    My first experience saw me going to bed cold with a blankets piled on top of me. I gave little attention to the bottom. I couldn't understand for the life of me why I was so cold. And you're right - the advice is elementary. But I tell ya - it took a while to figure it out. Like how cold do...

    Falling through the ice....

    ...great story @2sweed. There are many more out there and I would be interested in hearing from others about their experiences. Oh...and another thing! I didn't mention dogs. Though a lot lighter they too can find themselves in danger. What often happens is they go near the shoreline, fall...

    Falling through the ice....

    :peeking:This is an instructional Post We make mistakes and if we are lucky we can laugh and learn from the situation. Surprising I can remember details of the first time that I fall through the ice and the aftermath. I was lucky, because all the safety procedures were in place and I was...

    The Mighty Sleeping Bag

    About Being as snug as a Dog in your Sleeping Bag. I had an opportunity to share with youth who are planning their winter camp early in the new year. This is one question that was asked. "How come my sleeping bag is always damp in the morning?" On closer examination I learned he would go...

    Taming game animals

    ...it can be a tricky question. A lot of it would depend upon your stance. For me - the creatures are wild for a reason and I let it be. Though, I've been delighted with impromptu contact on occasion. Feeding a deer that came out of the forest and trusted me enough to take a crust of bread...

    How do you pack your spices?

    I do much the same as @killeroy does. I've used just about everything over the years. Whatever comes on the market as well as home made solutions. I used empty Tic Tac containers and such. Today I mostly use the Nalgene containers that come in various sizes. I use the tubes too. These...
