07/24/2022 09:53PMTomT: "Just a tip for dry bagging’ - 2 mediums are much easier to handle and clip in the canoe vs one monster bag. You also could put Bean in your bow. He looks to be good ballast weight. Good tip. Thanks. Bean does like a canoe ride.... |

07/24/2022 05:05PM Thanks Shug! Great videos as usual! I especially enjoyed this one as I have been on all of those lakes and like you, had an amazing moose encounter on Snipe. My buddy Dan and I had just launched our canoes (solo) after coming off the portage from Missing Link when we had our encounter with the big guy below….this was in September 2018…..maybe the same guy you encountered?!?! My buddy took the photo. Mike |

07/23/2022 01:25PM Just a tip for dry bagging’ - 2 mediums are much easier to handle and clip in the canoe vs one monster bag. You also could put Bean in your bow. He looks to be good ballast weight. It would be fun to see you hook up with Jon and Xander for a trip. That could be entertaining for all involved. |

07/23/2022 07:15AMTomT: "sns: "Looking good! Dry bags with water for ballast help out in an otherwise empty solo, for future reference..." I will be doing the dry bag thing. But when filled with water does that not now make it a wet bag? Had some really good wildlife moments. I hope they enjoyed looking at me as well. |

07/22/2022 08:52PMsns: "Looking good! Dry bags with water for ballast help out in an otherwise empty solo, for future reference..." I used to use rocks but started bringing 2 dry bags for the stern with my 50 lb. pooch in front. Spectacular moose footage shug. The beaver really was comfortable as no tail slap for you. And I think bringing both double and single blade paddles is a great way to go. Group solos are fun too. In 2019 our group had 4 solos and one tandem in Quetico for 12 nights. Really fun if you manage to get nice big sites. BTW, it's because of you that I'm into hammock camping. I got a Warbonnet Blackbird and prototype Superfly tarp (it has snaps on the 4 door panels) in 2009 after you reviewed them. Still in action today along with my "pup tent" for the pup. Happy paddlin' Shug good to see you out there. |

07/18/2022 02:35PM New Trip Report posted by Shug Trip Name: 7 Day Solo Missing Link, Snipe, Rib, Cherokee, Frost, Snipe and out Part 1 Entry Point: 51 Just paddled again for a 7 day solo. Such a time. Had a stellar moose encounter. Love those short backpacking trips they call portages whilst wearing a canoe as a hat. Rented a Northstar Magic canoe at Rockwood. Bunked at Tuscarora first night. Lively wee canoe. Great to meet Andy at Tuscarora. What a scrumptious breakfast. Route was from Missing Link to Snipe (favorite lake!) to Cross Bay, Rib, Lower George, Karl, Long Island, Gordon, Frost, Cherokee then back. Slept in Superior Hammock Starlite Elite, JRB 40º Shenandoah Ultralite TQ, Wilderness Logics 40º UQ. Superior Gear Shelter. First time using it and really liked it! Slept deeply. Paddled goodly. Fished poorly. Ate majestically. Whooooooo Buddy))))) Shug Video Part 1 Video...PART 2 |
