HAPPY AMERICA DAY [JULY 4TH] Looking good at 241.

HAPPY CANADA DAY [JULY 1ST]! Still young at a 150.

Good Stuff @killeroy154. Looking back I think that I was so anxious about getting away I over compensated and didn't use my head. All the open stuff (you mentioned) was ditched. Most of the pasta, sidekick packages, and other assorted foods were given to the food bank. With all that I still...

I thought I had things planned when it came to setting my menu. Apparently not. As experienced as I am I think I muffed it on my last trip. I ended up throwing out a lot of food that I didn't use. SO I'd be interest in re-learning the skill and looking at what you do when planning your menu...

-----> Glad you joined us @Jamie296 this is a fun place to be. I am a canoe person and very much a camping guy. I'm quick to tell the masses that I have an inventory of eleven tents. My summer Alaknak - excellent for all my needs.

BULLDOG Ya...I can hear the excitement in your voice and the slight increase of the heart beat as you describe your exploits. I'm glad that you found a channel to escape the rigours of career life and an avenue to be yourself. That's what this stuff is really all about - our personal life and...

@bulldoginajeepwithacolt - Bulldog for short. I looked up the "Clam Site" - interesting. It's the kind of equipment that I tend to purchase. Now about this Jeep Camping Rampage that you peruse - tell us more. How you got started, what attracted you etc. I know that you belong to a group of...

-----> Great to see you on line. The stuff you do - looks like a lot of fun and excitement. Your camping style is very much different from the conventional. :) Your kitchen shelter...what is it?

One of the essentials of tripping equipment is the hatchet. I tend to stay away from the heavy, awkward, and unruly axe. I'm not planning to cut down a tree or build a log cabin. No - the handy hatchet is the the tool I use most. To be effective it must be *really sharp and have a safety...

George VI father of Canada's present Queen. Looks like you have a collector's item the way that it is wrapped. Might be worth more than five cents. Which be the way will be eliminated from our coins like the penny. I believe they will be knocking out the ten cent piece too.

-----> The Canadian Mint has a long standing tradition of creativity. Their rationale would be something like, "Why not?" So it goes... Celebrating the Nation's 150th.

Yep, the new toonie glows in the dark. Leave them on the table at night and you see them clearly. The one I wanted is long out of stock.

I know two people who have done this... HIKED THE CHINESE WALL ...to be young and rich; or old and rich - how bout just rich? - then we could runaway and do our thing. (Whatever that is.)

HAPPY SUMMER EVERYONE!!!

...I know exactly how you might feel; I've been in that position more than once. So...what do I do? I tend to select a trip route that I'm very familiar with so there are no surprises. If people are up to it I take a teaching moment every now and then. Those canoe strokes are so important and...

I don't know about your jurisdiction but in this neck of the woods the Ministry provides (for a small fee of course) detailed maps of our canoe rivers OR your can go online to get the river reports and other detailed information. Unless that map on the screen is the same thing I'm talking...

...and speaking of Banff - there are some mighty fine trails out that way. Even the bears have been known to take them.

...actually I use a MEC Silicone Guides Tarp. :)

....let me see now. :facepalm: You can go back to the manufacturer OR you could check out Cabela's (and other leading outfitter stores) and see what standard tarps they have. BUT, unless you plan to use the "cheap poly" the ones that are light weight, durable, mostly quiet tarps will cost you...

Aw yes, no women around. They make a difference don't they?
