-----> HaHa - they are looking at me as I start the programme. There are three other sections you don't see.

XXX -> FANTASTIC! I especially liked the second picture [that's award-winning] and the short video on the beaver sighting.

Another exciting camp on Lake Huron. People came from all over and enjoyed a special week of good food, fun, fellowship, and rest. We saw hot days and two major "three alarm" warnings. [Heavy rains and wind, possibility of hail, and a tornado warning.] The rain pounded my tent to no avail...

"Baden-Bear?" Yep, I still have him and when I think it's safe I take him along on trips. It is becoming unseasonably cooler in this neck of the woods. The furnace has come on in the evening and I've had to wear a jacket several times when I've been out. Since I will be tenting on high ground...

Who is your creature guy?

-----> I remembered you putting "slippers" on the ends to prevent the legs from going into the ground. That was a great idea. Woods have a skirt that fits on the ground to prevent the legs from going into the snow or earth. I picked up a chair that has a high back. I like the extra support for...

Hello Everyone. I do hope you are enjoying the summer, though the advertising market is talking about "back to school" and the like. Remember camping in all its many forms is always in season. I have a friend who called me the other day and ranted about the purchase of a high-item brand-name...

We all reside in different parts of the country and from other countries too. Each has its variety of creatures great and small. What kind of animals roam, visit, and stroll through your property? Early this evening I saw a healthy skunk meandering through the yard past the side door and then...

Funny how habits change. I used to be a "weekend warrior" in terms of my camping exploits. You throw articles in the back of the car, buy a hunk of food, and off you go somewhere and then spend a lot of money buying things you already have back home and don't need. Then one day, usually after...

There is nothing more embarrassing than demonstrating to a group you are a total ass. I'm confident that my skill level is excellent and often better than my colleagues. But that may not be so in every situation. After a lengthy talk on crossing lakes and streams in the dead of winter, it was...

I found this horseshoe riveted into a tree root. The site that it's located is a canoe site and not a road anywhere. Behind every gismo and gadget, there is a story.

----->Agree - I prefer that the tarps are square or close to it - I can do more with it.

Back from Robinson Lake Camp. It is the only camp I've ever been to that has an emergency warning system with an exclusive bell. When you hear this bell ring danger is imminent and one needs to follow a plan. There were thirty-five youths and twelve staff. Lots of fun and laughter and the food...

-----> Looking good! I like the size too. All my tarps are now 12 by 12 ensuring good coverage.

----->That machine alone is enough to scare me. In this neck of the woods they tend to use drones more and more, then send out the helicopter.

----->I only forgot one thing—a fork. I opted out of bringing a raincoat and an umbrella though I did bring a warm jacket. I may have gotten soaked had our kitchen shelter not worked as well as it did. Overall it was a good time. I'm now off for a week and I don't even know the lake we are going...

I'm hoping you are okay. I miss your comments and wisdom. :Frown2:

Canoeing is always excellent no matter the condition. It rained for 30 hours straight and I learned what the "Water Drip" torture is all about. I'm sending my headlamp to Value Village - certainly not worth the $60.00 I paid for it. There was little wildlife other than bugs and birds, skeets, a...

I've been lost three times. The one time was frightening but I managed to pull my senses figuring it all out and got back to base without spending a night or two in the wilderness. There is nothing like getting lost to help you remember what an instructor said. Here are some basics that will...

------> Our base camp will be on Red Pine Lake but we plan to explore Nunikani Lake. The portage to get into the lake is 450 meters [1476 feet]. The dominant fish species on RP are Lake Trout and Bass. However, I will be bringing Salmon to fry up in the cast iron fry pan. I do need to take more...
