I guess I just like to test myself. I also feel sometimes that I don't understand the way people live nowadays. The greed and waste. The forest is disappearing fast. I feel like I have to take advantage of it while its still here. It feels good to leave technology for a while.

Mostly solo. I go out with my brother once in a while. hopefully he's going to be able to go out more this summer. His job is pretty demanding.

Hoping to do a lot more camping then last year. Can't wait to visit my favorite spot. Didn't make it down there last year so probably gonna have to do some clearing. It's the most beautiful spot where 2 rivers intersect. Nobody ever camps there but me. Couple years ago did some survival camping...

I would suggest bringing the right gear. I've been before with the wrong gear and been freezing all night. Not fun.

The winter was really bad down here too, but the deer population didn't suffer all that much surprisingly. This year I've seen a ton of deer sign. They come to my back yard and dig up leftover green beans from the garden.

I just have a small 12 foot fiberglass canoe. Not sure of the brand. Its been patched and painted about a thousand times over the past 10 years. but it serves me well. Yea having a nature preserve is pretty awesome but unfortunately the state has decided to clear cut half of it claiming it will...

Mostly weekend warrior. I'm Lucky though behind my house connected to my land is a 1000 acre wildlife preserve. So I get to do some awesome canoe camping. This year I plan on doing a week long trip.

Oops thought that first one didn't go through.

Wow you are serious. Sounds like you have an awesome setup.

You are serious. 3 alaknaks! Sounds like you have a pretty awesome setup.

I would love an alakna tent. A little out of my price range though. What do you do for heat in the eureka? Heavy sleeping bag?

I love foraging for food. My favorite is indian cucumber. It grow all over the place in Maine. Would like to get into mushroom hunting, just need to find time to take a class. Would never take a chance on mushrooms unless I was 100% sure.

Nice. Id love to go on a three weeker. Unfortunately I usually can only find time to go for a few days. How many people do you go with?

I build my own shelter usually. A lean-to with a tarp for a roof. I put up a plastic sheet over the opening while sleeping to trap the warmth from the fire. Stays toasty. I love building shelters, it's therapeutic for me.

Yesterday pretty much all the snow melted. It was so nice I had to go for a hike. Makes me wanting for spring.

I live in bear country too. I see sign everywhere but rarely ever see one. However I always keep bear spray or a side arm just to be safe.

I've always wanted to build a yurt. That one looks pretty awesome.

My dad was almost attacked by a black bear a few years ago. It stalked him for a few miles in the wood. It charged him so he threw his trail cam at it's face and that deterred it. Black bear attacks are extremely rare. Where I live in Maine there has never been a black bear fatality.

Lots of coyotes up here in Maine too. I hear them every night in the summer. My dog actually got attacked by 3 coyotes. He managed to fight them off, but came back with a broken tail and pretty beat up. I hear they will lure dogs in and make them feel like part of the pack, then kill them.
