Yes, it’s been a few years and he’s quite a bit taller! Right now, he’s undecided on whether to come or not. My other young fellow is excited to come this time though. It’ll be great to see you.
Hey, I’d like to get out and see y’all again. I’ll plan to overnight on the 25th. I have some new gear to try and a young fellow that wants to come too.
Wow, Love the trip report! Sounds like a great time
Bad timing; I have an ankle issue this week and can only make it to my backyard for a sleep out this weekend. :( hope y’all have fun!
I am planning to come. Probably arrive early Saturday afternoon and spent Saturday night.
I can’t say for sure yet but Oliver and I would like to come.
I won’t be able to make it. Have a great time!
Thanks Bubba, Nice write up and photos!
I will be leaving early morning on Saturday and plan to be at the camp around noon.
I plan to arrive at camp on Saturday by early afternoon. Thanks Chard for bringing a big pot.
Btw, will we go up the right side or left side trail?
I am planning to be there. I have to take care of a few things before I can give a definite yes.
Thank you all for a great time. Oliver says he had lots of fun!
I’m coming Saturday afternoon. I’ll bring chocolate chip cookies.
I’m looking forward to another trip with the group! Not sure which one(s) I can make yet but will confirm before the trip. Thanks!
Thanks

I’ll get to Niger Lake between 11-12 Saturday.
If you are asking me... I believe it was the following. for -2C I used 2 homemade Costco down TQ and medium fleece. For -15C, I used my HG 10 TQ, 1 homemade Costco down TQ and wore puffy jacket and...
I’ve been to -2C comfortably in mid October and combining it with my HG 20F underquilt got me to -15C that I’ve tested.
I can probably make it Saturday afternoon and stay for the night. I can get the GPS coordinates from a Niger Lake camp photo from last weekend if anyone is interested. As mentioned, there may be...
Great trip report Chard. Here’s photos of you and Iguana fishing.

I’m looking forward to meeting you and everyone else! I think it’s going to be an epic weekend!
I’ll meet you there.
I’m in for Niger Lake.
Here’s my thoughts...
For my first winter trip, I am looking forward to snow and using my pulk. I have no experience in selecting a good place so I’m relying on your expertise.
Of the noted...
I plan to be there early afternoon on feb 2 and leave on the 4th.
Thanks Chard. I’m expecting an awesome time!
Hi All, I’d like to come to Silent Lake on Feb 2-4 and I think I can make it. I’ve only done winter overnights in the back yard so far and i’ve been looking for a chance to join in on an outing. ...
I just downloaded it on iBooks. I’m flipping through and it looks awesome! I’m looking forward to getting into it.
Nice! It sounds like you had a great trip!
In the past few months, I swapped out my suspension for whoopie slings. This summer and fall we had several overnight family trips so I got a larger family sized tarp which now has linelocs and...
I’m out of the area this weekend, but I’ll keep my eyes open for a future group get together. Have a great time!
Welcome Rob!
Awesome! Congrats and enjoy!
I like fall (Sep-Nov) the best but backpack in the spring and summer as well. Summer temperatures are much more enjoyable since I'm not roasting in a tent but it's amazing how much heat a bug net...
Awesome! Looks like a nice trip!
For a fall trip in Ontario that was 30F overnight, I used 2 down throws made as TQ that I fitted one inside the other without sewing. I wore a base layer, fleece pants, warm socks, and a fleece...
Awesome!
I had a similar experience for a fall trip in Ontario that was 30F overnight. One difference for me is I have 2 down throws made as TQ that I fitted one inside the other without sewing. ...
I was out for a few nights in the Gully lake wilderness area in Nova Scotia and was haunted by the Hermit of Gully Lake. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willard_Kitchener_MacDonald.
Well, not...
That awesome zukiguy! A well outfitted group, I'm sure you'll have a great time!
Awesome story wsp_scott. Loved the blog too. Thanks, it is a great backyard. We also have access to the river...
Thanks tstark! It's great to hear about you and your young feller getting outside too!
My 3 year old loves camping and hiking also, and he likes to hang in his hammock.
All the best with...
Thanks Johnspenn! I'm looking forward to spending some hiking time with the family. I'm sure your grandson will be ready for the trails in no time :-)
Thanks SilvrSurfr for the stories, and for rotating the photo. The squirrel story is especially funny! Where we set up there are several chipmunk holes. One day, we all hung our hammocks and...
Here a quick report on my son's first overnight hang in the woods last night. He recently turned 5. We have slept in the garage overnight before and he was ready for the woods.
In the...
Hi! I'm in Petawawa for a bit. I'm interested in meeting up with some fellow hangers. For me, August is booked and I have more flexibility after labour day. I was looking to do a trip on the...
For me i was looking for a better backpacking experience which included more comfort, convenience and closeness to nature. Several years ago I found that setting up a tarp was a lot more convenient...
Here is more experience with my GT ultralite I had over the weekend. I went car camping with my wife and kids. I spent the first night in the tent trying to avoid the slopes, roots, and whatever...
I do a similar suspension with amsteel, rings and straps. The suspension easily fits in the sewn on stuff sack with the hammock. It's a light and compact setup I can easily toss it in my bag...
I have heard the rings for the radiant bubble pad can be used to connect elastic cord over the ridgeline to help keep the bugnet off your face.
