Sharing our ways, on backcountry canoe trips. Decades of experimenting and learning is quickly covered in this episode.
What kind of hotel is this? Grand theft auto. The Budd Car. Biscotasing. 9-day Spanish River loop. Gassy tentmates. Cold beers. Ragged in Algonquin Park. Wife newbie. Shaming a stranger. Beware of the SOS button. Wardens! It’s a small world.
Packing personal belongings for a week-long backcountry trip. Bugs are a downer. Don’t swim naked.
Canoes, Paddles, Lifejackets, The poor pay twice, favourite gear, sleeping, tents vs hammocks, mattresses, pillows, shoes and clothes, rain gear, buffs and tarps.
How we got here. Trip distances. The weakest link. Disconnection. You and your beacons. The party. Do your job. Too much coffee. Luxury items (and other crap you don’t need). Running portages. No boomboxes. Catching to eat. Mac and cheese sucks.
