My BWCA Trip is over...

and....I'm selling my We no nah Canoe ...To buy a New dream Canoe

It was a Tough WET Trip but 14 Portages and I'm going to buy a Techno material Canoe.

lower my pack weight ...I've aged

I am glad you made it back and hopefully you didn't injure the only remaining breeding pair of mosquitos in the North. For what it is worth, we made the switch from aluminum canoes to several different brands of Kevlar at work quite a few years ago. Now keep in mind, we are ROUGH on canoes and throwing gas cans, hose fittings and chainsaws in them did not work out well. When I am 5 portages in I would rather have a heavy aluminum canoe than a fancy lightweight one with a big hole in the bottom of it.

How was fishing?

What lakes?

I have a We no nah Durable Royalex for sale 66 lbs

Poor

Snowbank
Disappointment
jitterbug
Jordan a few in between I've forgotten...

But I'm planning already for next Trip

Snowbank and Disappointment get quite a bit of fishing pressure.

How were the bugs? Did you miss having me as a chaperone? It sounds like it was something I would not have minded missing.

Nineteen college girls are having a party next door to me this coming weekend. I think I will enjoy chaperoning that more.

Back in the day you had to be able to carry 299lb on your back or you wouldnt be hired.

Buying pre owned is a good idea on certain items.

Bugs were fine...with the Thermacell running

Wow on the Girls

Just not my new canoe I'll be ordering if I sell my .375 H&H

Endeavor to perceiver.

I will be over on Thursday to make sure I get a good seat and the spare bedroom.

Kevlar is your friend, especially as you age…. Hope you had a wonderful experience.

If I sell my Browning SS Stalker in .375 H & H I'll order the 40# Northstar I want and will go again this September

Knowing nothing else about it, a lake named Disappointment would not be one I would be attracted to fish. Where does the name come from?

I bought a used Kevlar northwind solo I think weighs 35lb from an outfitter. It was fair condition and a great deal.. My plans changed and I'm already back up here....well I fished here in two harbors today and headed to ely in the morning. I have till Wednesday but it's gonna be another cool, wet trip. Looking at available permits but may try some lakes outside the bwca. I got all my backpacking gear and canoe, but I also pulled my pop up camper. Glad you had a good trip!
