    Overnight on Lake Verret

    Somehow, when you grind good hominy into grits, the flavor is ground away. You guys below the M-D are welcome to my share. I will stick to cream of wheat, thankyou. Jon (how did this thread get from 'Overnight on Lake Verret" to grits?)

    H20 Purification

    Many of us northerners are here by choice (believe it or not) and actually do love the snow and the varied fun activities it provides. That said, I must say that I don't like shoveling snow, that's why I have a gigundous snow blower :D :D BTW we still have plenty of snow, think I'll go...

    Perfect length for paddling trip

    Clarion Been there-done that. I do like the Clarion but having spent my "formative paddling years" growing up on the Allegheny, that's were my heart is. I'm not knockin' the lack of wilderness. In fact, as a 'mature' adult, it's somewhat reassuring to know that help, if needed, isn't that...

    Perfect length for paddling trip

    They're all good!!! A short trip is better than no trip. Since my paddlin' pals have jobs (WORK is a 4 letter word), I usually settle for 3 day/2 nite river trips. Back in the days when Grandma would go, we'd spend 7 or 8 days backcountry, but that was before she was even Mom. She quit...

    Gear Report My new bivy tent

    Looks HUGE for a bivy Mine has more heigth at the foot but less at the head, I can barely sit upright without touching the top. There seems to be enough tension in the entire tent that I haven't had problems with it coming in on me. The positives: it's side entry, unzip the full-side screen...

    Camp fire Chatter The Camp fire

    Camp fire Our campfires are primarly for atmoshere, occassionally for warmth or to dry out wet gear/clothing. About the only fire cooking I do anymore is when I use the dutch oven. Usually it's the pocket rocket and an alcohol stove. On those rare trips that we don't find an established...

    Tic Tac Containers

    strike anywhere matches Hard to find in this part of the country :( . One time I thought I was buying them, they were labeled as kitchen matches. I didn't pay any attention to them until I was packing for a trip and realized they were just large wooden matches, strike on the box only. Now...
