We lash in poles and extra paddle with Bungee Dele Bobs and they keep everything in the canoe so we can Single Portage.

How about that bear hook idea from a successful earlier thread?
This is not my picture, I borrowed it.

Based on another thread... It seeems that many folks find Kitty litter buckets to be extremely useful:
They are useful for many things:
- help sort food
- protect food from rodents
- protect food from water
- provide camp tables
- provide chairs
I put 2 square buckets in the bottom of a standard Duluth pack. They work great.
Pictures? Sure...

One more tip from other threads:
Unless your route has a tremendous amount of portaging, a portable depth finder is well worth the weight. You will definitely cathc more fish.
Depth finder thread
Here are my comments from the other thread:
We base camped on Horse for a week. On the first day, I accidentally found a submerged island. I was trolling and caught a fish. When I looked at the depth finder, it read 5 feet. I was suprised since the rest of the area was about 20 feet of water.
After paddling around the area and confirming the depth with my achor rope, I realized it was a submerged island. The island came to within 5 feet of the surface. All around the island was 20 feet of water.
On the first day, I just fished for a while and caught 2 walleye and a smallie.
On the second day, I fished for about an hour with my 7 year old daughter. We caught about 10 smallies ranging from 16 to 20 inches. Here is a good picture. Notice the bend in my daughter's rod while I hold the previous fish.

Later, I took my 13 year old daughter. We both caught 21 inch smallies. Here is a picture of hers:

On the fourth day, I fished for about an hour and caught 2 walleye and 4 smallies.
I never would have found the spot without a depth finder.
My depth finder is a Lowrance X67 Ice Machine. It worked great all week. The battery ran out about 1 hour before we left. It is a great depth finder for the BW and for ice fishing.

Alot of great tips on here, thanks! Here are a couple of mine...
1) Tip canoe over and use as cutting board to filet fish, to
clean simply put back in water and catch more fish
2) Portable fold up table, folds up like a sports chair,very light
not bulky and came in handy
3) Reel holder, for person in back of canoe while trolling
4) Lighted frisbe, multi use here, fan fire, throw around camp, and most importantly needed for deep woods night time frisbe golf!
