Say, in a 6 night trip what is your average number of different camps?
We mostly do two and base. A couple times 1 , a 3 , and twice 4.
I guess we average over 2+ different camps in a week.
Sometimes weather can add one to a trip.

We've almost always done two nights at each camp. Allows for alternating travel vs. rest days. We've found this is what works best for us, especially as we've gotten older.

I usually have one layover day, but travel all other days.

I'd have 5, give or take one. I'm a traveler, but usually plan a weather/layover day every 4 days or so, but might not take them all if not needed or wanted.

We are movers,
However I always plan on staying two nights in case of weather at some point in the week.
So on a 6 night week we stay 4-5 nights. I will never plan a trip that has us moving every day. Too unpredictable.

the 2 trips that i've been on: first was moving everyday until we got a canoe wrapped around a rock (boyscout group our guide said that we could make it down a river instead of a mile portage.). then we had to stay 2 days while the best 2 paddlers towed it to meet some one with a new one.
2nd we base camped on oyster for a week.

If I was only going for 6 days I would base camp as much as possible.

Probably 5 camps for a 10 day trip. It is probably 3 camps for one night each, 1 camp for 2 nights, and another for 4 nights. Basically, if we like a spot we'll hang out for an extra day. If we love a spot, we'll hang out for a while. I guess we're sort of base campers except that our base camps tend to be two long days of travel and over 20 portages from the EP.

We basecamp for shorter trips (~3-5 days over Memorial Day).
For week long trip, we move every other day. That gives more relaxation and fishing time. But we found that basecamps for a week get boring. It adds excitement to move every other day.

Totally depends on who is with me. If I have kids along we may see one or two campsites. If it is just me and another guy we move most days. Last year we had different sites 7 out of 8 nights.

Base camp trips - one. Maybe two if we want to get in a littler farther.
Travel trips (with teens-college age grand kids) move every day unless wind or weather stops us.

Usually move everyday on a 5 night trip. Layover on night on up to 2 weeks. I love the traveling. Weather can change this of course but hasn't often.
