Likewise. The only tandem I ever had was a Coleman; I sold it after just one canoe trip. Now have 2 solos, and my significant other bought a solo last year. I did pick up (literally) a large Kevlar...

Did you go? I've stayed at the Hungry Bay lean-to (#81?). It's a great site; lean-to + room for several tents.

Just back from 3 nights on Lila. That was maybe my 6th paddle trip there; double carried all but once when my friend wanted to bring her kayak. For that trip we used our carts (I switched to my sea...

Great points there. I used my 2-pole Eureka 3-season tent for most of my winter camping. Now, for my solo 3-season trips, I use an ultralight Big Agnes solo with a wishbone tent pole, but that...

Very comfy, David! :thumbs: The best I can do is my big old tent (similar to yours) and a propane catalytic heater.

Four of us will head up to Little Tupper this weekend (15-17). Haven't been camping much this year, so I'm looking forward to this, even if it's cold and past-peak.

Great set of photos! I've heard that there is a herd path up St. Regis from Ochre Pond (or was it Fish Pond?), but I haven't searched for it. Four of us will probably head up to Little Tupper on the...

I've done the up & back a couple times, as well as the Lows-Os traverse a few times. All were with a solo canoe, except for 3 weeks ago - my GF and I launched at "inlet" and paddled up to a campsite...
