"KBN" the Three Amigos!

...sometimes I close my eyes and draw those pictures in my mind. I block out the world for a moment in sort of wilderness meditation scene and breathe deeper. Some call it day dreaming. :) I call it connecting.

Sometimes, then again a lot of times, I find wresting with the world not only tedious, but vexatious and troubling to the soul. I'm not the only one on the planet that feels this way. And like others I look for the strength and comfort that comes from dipping my paddle into the cool and leaving...

-----> I've never had any problem with the tents that I have with centre poles. It is my practice to put a decorative disk at the bottom to protect my floors. Having the one centre pole enables me to put the tent up by myself without assistance.

I've tested the tent to assure myself that I'm satisfied with the product. It will be used at a base canoe camp. As I mentioned I like to stand up and if there is inclement weather it's nice to walk around a bit to stretch one's legs. It is unusual because of the door peak. I have two other...

...I think @Bibsoutdoors people bring with them the urban attitude. If its an occasional trip they don't see how a weekend excursion can be anything more than just plain fun. I'm like you in that I have different kits for different applications with each having gloves and a face mask and I know...

...part of the new equipment this year was a camera. This is my first camera that takes videos and good shots. I've finally learned to master it a bit. I'm not really great at technics but I'm working on it. It has served me well over the years. I won this camera at a camping event I...

When I head out, usually by myself, I'm looking for something. It's that something that governs my whole approach to what I do. It's what makes it the pleasurable experience that I'm looking for and desire most. So what exactly are you looking for when you pick up pack and paddle? Maybe it's...

...I was reminded that I always ate the head off my chocolate Easter bunny so I don't have to listen to it scream.

-----> Ya? Well when I was younger I was tougher than a rolling bolder. Well maybe I was more brainless than a cactus plant. But then again...we did some marvellous stuff too didn't we? Once I learned there was more to camping than porcupine pie everything was A...okay! I is better...

...I remember the days that I wasn't well equipped or knowledgeable but was determined to enjoy myself anyway. In the old days I called it "program"; whatever happened was designed that way. Things have changed considerably and I have excellent paraphernalia and I haven't suffered any soaking...

Dunno...how 'bout some thin like this? You never know... But then again...you could live your whole life in fear of something.

...it's amazing what a little bit of experience can teach one. I was rather impressed with myself at how much my driving skills improved after a fender bender. I'm not a drinker either - never have been not even as a teen. I didn't need it and could never fully appreciate what the excitement...

...it really depends on the circumstance what one wears. It's not a question what one wants but what one needs. Our neck of the woods is a lot different from yours. People would be scratching their heads and wondering what you are doing in denim on a hot summer's day. Suit yourself but I'd...

...I never had the experience of sleeping overnight on a boat but have had experience sleeping in a boat - a canoe actually. We were young and paddled into solid lake cottage country and there were no public camp grounds. We were ordered off one private property and ended up sleeping [sort of]...

...try a little education. People often fear the unknown - so get to know whats in your backyard. I'm not afraid of wolves - wolves are very much afraid of me. Separate fact from fiction - you will be surprise.

...good comments rz3300 - it is impossible for governments to legislate "stupidness". As an outdoor instructor I'm always amazed at the behaviours of people. What seems so apparent to me isn't always to them. It is a learned behaviour - that is why we have instructors helping and assisting...
