Curious what you folks have purchased new for 2019. I am at a point where I do not need anything, so beyond clothing here and there, I really do not buy anything new any more. That said, I did, however, pick up a monster 10L MSR gravity water filter at the Expo yesterday. Should come in handy for base camp trips with my wife.

Purchased:

1. Twig stove
2. Skid plates for canoe when i refinish
3. New web seats for canoe

Yet to purchase:

1. Marmot limelight 2 person tent
2. Smaller tackle box
3. Duluth pack #3 (used)

Just a new map case and hose for the gravity bag.

shimano spin reel and cabela's graphite rod, with a few tackle choices, thanks mike!

Bending Branches Java straight shaft paddle.

In-Reach Mini

1. Skid plates for my newly purchased used Champlain.
2. Badger paddle from Canoecopia
3. Dutchware Chameleon hammock, with integrated bug net
4. 18" Lacrosse rubber boots

I added a Northstar Polaris Blacklite w/E6 trim to my fleet of now 2. A Northwind Solo being the 1st. While technically a 2018 purchase, I didn't paddle it until 2 weeks ago.

Because of the investment in the Polaris, I am doing my best to restrict my gear purchases for the rest of 2019... However, if I get something today but, don't pay for it until January, that's a 2020 purchase right?!? ;)

Warbonnet RR, Superfly tarp, Fourdog bush cooker, Fancee Feast alcohol burner, tarp skin. Plan to purchase Dutchware tarp hardware. Of topic a set of Ping Zing golf clubs.

Light year for me as it relates to gear buys. Replaced the Silky saw that broke on day-one in Quetico last season.

Since we have just gotten back into BW trips, we got a fair bit of new gear this year.

Noah 9 x 9 tarp
2-person tent (for me, since my son and husband switched to hammocks)
Granite Gear pack
Fry Bake pan
lighter weight raingear for my husband
paddle for my son

I graduated from college in December, and have been in my first "big boy" job since the first week in January. The days of borrowing canoes and cheapo gear are behind me.

New to me in 2019:

2016 17 ft Nova Craft Cronje - Aramid Lite - Thanks Bearskin Outfitters
2 BB Special bent shaft paddles
Garmin Striker 4 - wired to 10 AA's thanks to help from this site
Platypus 4L Gravity Filter
REI Flexlite
Sven Saw

Been a productive year. I've been needing to upgrade a lot of my gear, so last year and this year I've been making moves. Should be pretty much set after this year.

1. CCS 10'x14' Tarp
2. MSR Hubba Hubba tent
3. MSR Pocket Rocket2 stove
4. Mountain Hardwear sleeping bag
5. Nemo sleeping pad
6. Irwin saw (anyone here still making sheaths for this?!?!)
7. Helinox chair

Coming soon:
Saywer Squeeze water filter
will refinish old outfitter canoe purchased last year
Possibly another rod and definitely a couple for lures

Hey, Ken! Love the trucks!! I want a new tandem, but cannot justify the cost as I only spend one week a year in the tandem these days. Sure would be nice to have one more responsive than my 200 year old SR. Maybe when I win the lottery...

Purchased a Dragonfly to replace my propane monster. Haven't tested it out at home yet.

New this year
1. Helinox Chair Zero
2. 2 Thermarest Zseats
3. More wool underlayers
4. More Fisher and Voyageur maps
5. Big Agnes Manzanares HV SL4 mtnglo

Pretty light year for gear purchases

Still searching for cold/rainy weather gloves

I told myself I was all set this year. Yeah right.

CCS Lean + 3
Groundhog stakes (knock-offs)
UCO lantern
BDBs (they keep disappearing)

And for our WCPP trip planned in July, a little something special for my tripping partner.

Okay.... been picking up a lot this year so far and I have started treating myself....

1. 7' St Croix Legend X with Stradic Ci4
2. 6'6 St croix Legend Elite 2' for when my Legend X is too long, with Daiwa Tatula.
3. Simms ProDRY Goretex Jacket
4. Simms ProDRY Goretex Bibs
5. Spyderco Paramilitary
6. Two 20L MSR Dromedary bags, one for dirty one for clean, I group camp.
7. Sawyer Squeeze and gravity filter kit, after 4 years of tripping Platypus Gravityworks sucks and I'm tired of buying new filters.
8. 2000 17' Lund Explorer to with 25 horse to tide me over in the mean time

:P

No new gear, just don’t really need anything..... but I am currently getting the new (to me) truck set up. Got the fit kit for the Thule rack ordered and just put the cover on, now at least my gear won’t get stolen! Custom Flying Moose installed.

I did a lot of shopping last fall and this winter so I have a lot of new gear.

Grumman Canoe
CCS Pioneer Pack
CCS Barrel Pack
Blue Barrel
20 Degree Down Sleeping Bag
Luci Lights with mobile charging x2
Twig Stove

I'm also keeping my eyes open for a new (to me) 3-person tent. I'm just not in a rush to buy something so I always hesitate to pull the trigger.

Not too much new gear this year but still good stuff
1. Garmin Striker 4 and the Wilderness Systems 10AH Battery
2. Goal Zero Crush lantern. Thanks Butthead.... and i probably shouldn't be that excited about a lantern. Replaced a heavy bulky battery lantern.
3. Few new lures and a couple of packs of Z-Man Shadz

I've gotten a few random things that are new to me from folks here, but the only new item bought is a Dragonfly to hopefully do a better job of cooking on this trip.

So far:

CCS Guide Pack
Enlightened Equipment Revelation down quilt
New headlamp

Pending:
CCS Lean+2
CCS Bug Shelter
CCS Pioneer Pack

I’m updating most of my 15-20 year old gear, probably my last upgrade before I get too old to use it anymore. I’m glad I have a couple sons who like canoe tripping as much as I do, they can have my gear when I get too old to use it.

1. Nemo Bugout Shelter
2. Goal Zero Solar charger
3. Garmin Striker4 Fish Finder
4. CCS Pioneer pack
5. Pflueger President and HMG Travel Rod (setup #3)
6. TiteLock Reel holder
7. REI GTX Rain gear

The list continues to grow!

Well I did a lot of purchases. Replaced lost items

1. Hilleberg tent
2. CCS 10 x 12 tarp
3. Bell Morningstar Royalex canoe
4. Sawyer gravity water filter
5. Gerber Freescape Camp saw
6. Gerber Hatchet
7. Fishing Rods and tackle
8. CCS 60l bear barrel bag
9. Midland 2 way weather radios
10. Puppy PDF
11. 1 New Voyager map and West & East National Geographic maps
12. Shaped Portage pad


Pretty much re-geared up and ready to go.
I would like to obtain an Emergency locator (never had) and possibly a GPS although this season I do not anticipate going in so far that I would need one of these. A good old fashion compass would provide what I would need.

Happy Safe Paddling to all ;) Maybe we will see you out there.

* Same with the 10L MSR water filter. For the big groups, this looks like it will work out slick.
* Hammock Gear under quilt.
* Mountain House Fusilli Pasta with Italian Sausage (new in the mix this year for us)
* Lastly one of those cloth maps!

DeLorme inReach SE. Purchased used from a member here. Just activated for the summer months. A bit of a learning curve here.

Pretty much everything. The only old stuff is my kitchen gear, sleeping bag and fishing gear. I am thinking about bringing my old 2 burner white gas stove, along with my new bottle top propane. Other than those things, all my stuff is new.

Only new piece was a NEMO cosmo air mattress.
