Friday at 9am sounds good but could be pushed out to 10am if necessary. For what it's worth, it'd be nice if everyone heading in had a buddy boat for safety's sake.

Thanks for the recon Cruiser. ...

I'm probably going to have a full load. Do we have any volunteers to carry in the pot and ingredients (the pot and ham hock are the real culprits)?

Excellent.

Err. Yeah. Brain fart...:unsure::unsure::unsure:

Welcome to the forums Brawny.

If you're interested in meeting other local hammockers, look up the EGL. Before covid, we did several hammock canoeing, winter-camping and car-camping hangs each...

Quick update... I'm going to be paddling out on the 19th. My elder daughter's birthday is on the 19th and she's going to be in-country. I mentioned that I'd be canoeing and she went all puppy-dog...

Or too exhausted!

My understanding is that Tapatalk is simply an app that allows users to consolidate all of their forums of interest into one place/newsfeed. I'm pretty sure that you'd still need to subscribe to...

Hey guys, I believe a few of us are heading over to Valens on Saturday April 9th after the Ontario Backcountry Canoeing Symposium. We haven't done any cold weather gatherings recently because we...

I highly recommend bringing along something to wear on your hands. You may not need them for years, but when you do, you'll have appreciated lugging them around. We've paddled in rainy, cold...

I think there's a couple of fellas going (some of us are still a little wary of the global pandemic that is Covid), but more will be gathering at Valens Conservation Area that evening to enjoy good...

Hey Theyland,

Sounds like you're more than ready for an ice-out foray.

Having a change of warm clothes and a way to start a quick fire in drybags is very sensible. For the most part,...

Tip#1 Keep the open side of the canoe up.
Tip#2 Don't daydream. Keep your eyes on the water (see tip#1).

Seriously, I think the most important precautions we take are simply travelling in groups...

Looks interesting. Paddling up Otterslide Creek might be challenging but nothing you haven't seen before.

Hi Dale, great news.

Just register on MacIntosh and we can work out the "whos & wheres" when we get up there. We did a similar trip on Rosebary and there were groups of three or four dotted...

Hi Quiet!

For the most part I was thinking of base-camping out of McIntosh and doing day trips to the surrounding lakes as the mood takes us. Granted six nights on one lake might get weary, but...

Hi Denniswinders,


Find an appropriate number of good sized sticks for tie-outs (1-3 feet long depending on snow).
Cut a deep "T" into the snow with the stem facing the corner of your tarp. ...

Excellent!

It's a given that a "scattering" will be different from out normal 9 person per site group trips, but I'm sure that there'll be plenty of time for visiting.

Beautiful! That winter camo pattern ir really nice. Great photos as always!

Hi Dale, does that mean you're thinking of tagging along? Sounds like you're ready for a return visit to McIntosh. Besides, I consider anyone who's camped on that beautiful lake as a long lost...

Hi Tollerman, welcome aboard. Massachusetts is a long way off!

To answer your questions, Algonquin books their "backcountry" permits by the lake, with the lake's actual sites being on a first...

EGL Spring 2022 > Paddle Back to Chicamoula

Hello all,

It's been quite a while since an upcoming EGL trip has been posted on...

I've been around a while, but nothing like you old timers

Nice to see another hammocker paddling around Algonquin. Nice pictures.

Bruh...

You're a little light on requirements, capabilities, interests and general location.

The old hot water bottle between the legs is one of the best ways I know, besides warmer quilts, to keep warm in cold weather. Takes the edge off of warming an icy hammock.

Bruh.

Ironically, the first questions on both the Hammock Hangers Membership cancellation form and the Ganges River Cremation Application form: Candle lantern in a hammock?



Around camp,...

Nice!

Take one hammock, mix in one canoe and a pinch of our favorite Piney Woods ambassador, knead them roughly over a couple of portages and you've got my kind of video... There's nothing like...

It's been a pleasure hanging with you and your missus, and we've had our fair share of laughs but I'm sure you've many new adventures ahead of you in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains. We'll keep a...

Hi Sknox,

With the ongoing challenges caused by the Covid pandemic, EGL activities have, by and large, been put on hold. Of course everyone is free to do what they feel is best, but it just makes...

Hi all,

These are troubling developments with respect to the backcountry fee structure that Ontario Parks is adopting. While perhaps not it's stated objective, the impact of this...

Hiya Arutha,

If you're looking for a hang and don't mind driving to Algonquin, the EGL heads out there a couple of times each year and I'm sure we could find a canoe you could fit in as a bow...

Hey Shug, a little winter hanging by the lolligager in chief was just what I needed. I had often thought of an integrated hammock/underquilt but have been too lazy to make one. I'm glad that it...

Ditto! It was good seeing those I saw and sad missing those I missed. Didn't stay the night (weird, nylon, cocoon dwellers) but kinda wish I did.

Finally managed to walk the boardwalk trail with...

Come on!!
...

Is there room for a Saturday dinner-only reservation for one?

I'd prefer a table with a view, cold and dripping with rain, but I could put up with a dry bench in a pinch.


...

Sorry, but I don't see any link or photos... :crying

Thanks, I'm glad you made it past my overly enthusiastic use of the word "orange" in the first paragraph.

I took a peek at the 2012 canoe trip you cited and saw that it was just one of many...

I don't have any pictures of a GTG hammock setup, but I've given it a lot of thought especially when I think about situations, like hilltop stealth hangs, where trees might scarce. I'd normally just...

For those interested, the YouTuber Tumblehome did the same loop in reverse back in the spring of 2018. It's cool seeing the same waters we traveled in full flood.

Thanks MaxB.

As the days pass there's so much more I wish I had included in the report like more on the weather and specifically the rain, the character of the portages, the virtues of the...

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

It was one of beaver dams that spanned the full width of the creek with around a foot of drop down the other side. Down the middle the dam was solid enough to stand on but you'd get a serious...

Thanks Tpatter. It's always fun writing up trip reports. We've got such a bunch of characters.


Speaking of characters, you've been missed all year long. The land of bagged milk patiently...
