@ killeroy154 ...that's very true. I've often admired those special skills some people have and wanted to jump right in. One has to crawl and walk before one runs. On occasion people will compliment me on a skill and I think nothing of it only to realize later that it has taken me awhile to...

I don't know...I think I may have mentioned before. Have you every thought of building your own canoe? It sure looks like you have the skills.

----> Had I known you were going to do that I would have yelled...STOP! One of the rules for canoe owners is "you never do that." But since you didn't ask :(.

Bread crumbs come in a variety of packages and some are not seasoned - we just do our own thing because we can. OR you can buy those packages of meat crumbs and certainly you can make your own out of crackers. You can use rubs or marinate. Check your bake isle of your favourite store or the...

-----> Hi there - I started getting anxious last summer at the end of summer camp season. I'm very fortunate in that my work is intensive so I'm allowed ample time to pursue my outdoor interests with gusto.

I have a colleague that swears by the Hennessy Hammock. He has the insert too that enables him to ward off the chilly nights. Though I have a hammock - it's only for swinging nearby a lake on a sunny afternoon.

:peeking:This is an instructional module. The term SLEEP SYSTEM is one that describes in detail the equipment one uses for sleeping. As you can appreciate there is more than one system that a person can use depending on the season and your personal comfort level. This is a system for BASE...

He is certainly out of my league - but I thought one day I might have done that. One of his videos has his white dog barking madly at the forest edge - a bear in the wilderness for sure. On one of his trips he had five dogs. One would have done me in. He has other adventures under the name...

Looking for some real gutsy hiking, fishing, and camping that gets the heart pounding? I'm talking about real outdoor adventure that captures the imagination and excites the spirit. Check out it out - go online and key in Hiking the Clearwater River of Alberta I could watch this for a fair...

I tried this recipe again and I chucked the bread crumbs and just used potatoes and the cream of mushroom soup. Turned out great. Then I tried chicken breast with potato and used two small cans of cream of chicken soup and added just 1/2 cup of milk. Same difference - both are quick delicious...

DUTCH OVEN PORK CHOPS AND POTATOES This recipe came to my attention so I gave it a try. [Getting Ready for the Season of Delights - summer camping that is.] Prep time is 15 minutes. Cook time 1 hour. Total time is 1 hour and 15 minutes. This is a throw it in, one oven dish that is delicious...

The equipment listed if primarily for base camp with provision for canoe/camping experience. What I've been doing for years now is to have a base and enjoy two and three nights out in the interior and then return to tad more luxury. I'm planning to be away July 9th to July 23rd - missing the...

So what did I forget? This is the first long term camp prepared for the season though there are smaller experiences planned before this date. I've never been to Mew Lake and I'm looking forward to the change.

....first of all I have a cherry paddle and noooooo way would I paint it. But for the other ones it's kind of fun to paint them; appreciating that there are some skilful artists out there. Why paint? Why not? It personalizes your paddle and makes it distinctive among the rest. It might be your...

-----> Yah, I do know that. "But gee...Dad - I just wanna have fun." I did decide not to purchase another paddle for the canoe. I'm going to redecorate one I already have.

...blatantly honest! :) I bought the new chair....just because. Just because I wanted to; not that I needed it. I just wanted it. It's part of my comfort equipment - like my sleeping pad, coffee peculator, tripping cot and the like.

...I gave my Helinox chair to a canoeing friend. Thinking to myself, at the time, that I wanted to buy a chair a tad bigger but still light. So after some research I came up with this one -----> Therm-A-Rest has created the Treo chair which folds up into a pod as small as a thermos. Just...

...so -what is on my list for 2018? Another Primus Lantern. Will be building a portable platform for my tent at base camp to keep it off the ground. A tripping chair for the camp site and not much more. I'm in the throws of reducing my inventory and being cautious of new purchases. I've...

-> ...best kept secret. :)

-----> It was an interesting day in that the ice slabs crashed down the river and onto the highway and also manged to slice a main waterline into the community. As a result 75,000 people were without drinking water albeit for a short time. The other communities down river suffered a lot more...
