I sold my 8 man K tipi and got a 10'x13' snowtrekker EXP shortwall (30lbs) for car or boat camping and for cold weather use where I could pull in on a pulk. These are fantastic tents! The only...

Lowa Seeker GTX have been fantastically comfortable. I also had a pair of Irish Setter boots that were very nice, but still a distant 2nd to the Lowas.

Two more beautiful tribute videos:

Well said, and I have a very similar viewpoint. I think that the vast majority of people like me, who take a a "pro-life" (anti-abortion, whatever) would agree that an abortion is justifiable if it...

I've used down bags preferentially to synthethic through fall - winter - spring. In the summer it's a toss up - if heavy rain is forecasted I'll use a sythetic bag, otherwise down. In addition to...

For us Canadians, the results of this election are not good at all. Our economy is more closely linked to the US economy than any other economy. If the US economy tanks (which is where Obama's...

I might give the Exped 9 dlx another go, apparently they have made some upgrades to improve their reliability. I bought one a few years ago and found it to be wonderfully warm and comfortable (even...

I was thinking the same thing! Sounds like a keeper.

If you want to see wildlife, stay with traditional wood framed snowshoes. Every modern aluminum framed snowshoe I have come across makes a tremendous racket, and are not appreciably lighter than the...

Hi doth11,

Good to see you on here! I got the material from Kifaru. It certainly seems to be the same as the "Silicone Fiberglass Cloth" that is in the link that sab provided. By the way, I...

Not sure what advantage this saw would have over the Bob Dustrude saw, but their Firefly Stove and Big Dig Trowel sure look interesting.

You should be. :p

I have a copy of "On Your Own in the Wilderness" by Angier & Whelen. An excellent, practical resource.

Fixed it for you.

Cut as much wood as you think you will need in a worst case scenario to get you through the night. Then quintiple that amount.

Motel camping - for those who consider RVs to be exceedingly primitive.

Not necessarily. Hammock camping in Saskatchewan ;) 10254

Another vote for a diesel landcruiser, or better still, a Nissan Safari (24 volt 4.2 Liter diesel)

You've got my interest! Mind you the scheduled release date (Jan 2013), is in a season where a few extra pounds of bottled beer being pulled in a pulk is much less critical that trying to haul it on...

When I used durapegs I could count on 2-3 breaking every time I tried to pitch the tipi. They are especially brittle in the winter.

I should know better by now to open any threads on the Shelters & Camping forum. It costs me money every time!

For hunting, wool will not reek of BO nearly as bad as synthetics such as polyproplene & fleece. If you will be around fire wool is also alot safer. Fleece will generally be less expensive and...

The smaller the kids, the more space you will need. With an infant & toddler, you will most likely be car/boat camping for the next 7-8 years before doing alot of hiking with the crew. You will...

Truly a great day for Canada. It breaks my heart to see my dear neighbors to the south spiralling down a path similar to what we had been on under the likes of Trudeau & Chretien. It takes takes...
