I don't like carrying frying pan, oil, breading. I simply filet, put em on a stick w/salt and lemon pepper and bake., Indian style. I make a mean fish chowder with Bear Mountain Potato soup too.

I agree I run my trips on a loose schedule. Anyone can hurry out, it takes an artist to loaf themselves down the river. But there is ALWAYS one or two who seem start the trip behind and are in a hurry to get out. The wind layover in Bloodvein Village gave a couple of the crew the fits...

hey Matt, what was the problem with the biax tape? I plan on using it to attach my deck on the sailing canoe.

Last spring I contacted Matt at JEM to draw up plans for a sailing canoe. We exchanged several e-mails with Matt submitting preliminary drawings. It only took a few turns until we got it looking right. I was originally going to build it this winter but got the itch early and so got started...

there were a few cool nights and he admitted to being chilled. He had a down bag and a Z pad. No cocoons, Garlington insulators or pods. Worth said the system worked well BUT, he probably will go back to tents on future long distance Canadian canoe trips. He said all in all he has had fewer...

I didn't use a Hammock. Worth seemed to get a good nights sleep in his. One camp he pulled a tree down as he was getting in. He started choosing bigger trees after that. Take downs were quick with the snakeskins. Worth was ready to leave "on time" every morning. He usually is the last one...

I remember you guys were heading up to GitchieGoomie sometime this summer. So it's coming soon? That drive (between Wawa and the Soo is so beautiful, it is a favorite of mine. Be sure to visit the pictographs on Lake Superior, and Paddle Old Woman Bay, it's where Bill Masons ashes were scattered.

I saw something late last night I saw something late last night. They were in Arizona, hiking down a ravine in pouring rain. A flash flood came thru and the "guide' had to tell them to move to higher ground. It was hilarious after 3-4 days in the desert one fellow (who thought he could still...

first check out this lake in Quebec: http://www.astro.uwo.ca/~jlandstr/planets/webfigs/impacts/slide4.html then read the trip report: While browsing the web looking for information about meteorite craters in Canada, as per the topic about them, I came across the following press article...

yes I think that tie probably says it all...

BTW Que1 BTW Swampy, que1 is the assistant park superintendent of WCPP. She is a freat resourse and a fine canoeist herself. Claire Quenzence (sic) is her name and if you ever head up to WCPP be sure to contact her.

myccr and WCPP I am headed back to WCPP this summer, a small portion of it anyway. In July we fly into Artery Lake, just east of the Ontario/Manitoba border and paddle out 12 days via the Bloodvein River. It is rated CIII and up with over 85 sets of rapids. Should be an excellent trip. If...

That's a laugh :D Once you purchase something from SG you can't STOP the catalogs. They sure know how to sell!

Tracking IS an issue on the Kruger. That is why they mount rudders.

Kruger canoes I have a close friend who is infatuated with Kruger Canoes. He has owned 4 of them (down to 2 now) and even worked with Verlen building them for a couple of years. The hull has over 5 kevlar laminations and is almost indestructable. My friend has done everything in his power to...

What Verlen are you referrig to? Verlen Kruger, by chance?

White Cackles, Belly Bombers, Sliders, Stomach Churners Oh Yeah, we got em! In fact, working at WC was my first job back in the day. I have lots of wierd WC stories and even up until a few years ago I couldn't pass one by w/out getting at least 2 or 3. For some reason I just can't "stomach"...
