That looks like a fantastic trip. You are lucky to have a wife who is up for an adventure like this. There were many cabins like Proeneke's in the far north, but without being occupied or maintained, they are mostly slowly returning to their base elements.

I can't say that I'm not getting exercise; hauling hose lines, cutting Balsam trees, hauling branches and wood. My back ain't what it used to be. The fire took a swing in my direction today, and is now 15 miles away.

Take me caribou hunting and I will cook some for you every night. Good luck in Alaska.

Oh yeah, and I did one more thing; I looked towards the smoke of the fire and said, "Fill your hands you Son-Of-A-Bitch!"

I had the pump running all day, took my fishing boat to the old mechanic for some work and told him to keep it for a while, hauled the woodpile from next to the garage, took the 1922 saddle ring winchester M94 (1922 mfg.) down from the fireplace and into the safe, and also took down the framed...

My pack training rucks were scheduled to start now that I'm back from the Canada fishing trip, but I returned to find there was a 19,000 acre fire north of me that is making it hard to breath. It was still a couple miles from some lakes where they mandated evacuations, and with a wind switch it...

That's a darn pretty rifle CC. Beware though, such things can tend to be like pretty women....reeeel tempermental.

I've been a knife junkie, and used the folding Buck, fixed blade Case, and other mass produced American made knives. Both were lost along the way, and replaced by similar models. Shortly before my first elk hunt out west, I broke down and ordered a 3 3/8" drop point, stag handled knife from AG...

We had 5 meals while there, and I just fixed one for my wife after I got home.

I couldn't locate the fishing thread, so posted my trip on the Canada thread under "Canada Reopening".

I couldn't locate the fishing thread, so will post this trip here. 3 of us made the drive to the Pigeon River entry to Canada early on Aug. 14th. There were only about 6 vehicles in front of us, and each took about 10 minutes to clear customs. All our papers were in order and we passed on...

I had a bruiser of a workout reeling in big walleyes in Ontario. I hope you feel sorry for me....I did after I got back home.

I haven't posted in the last couple weeks because I just returned from a fly-in fishing trip to Canada. Full story and pic in the fishing thread. Before I left, our group of 3 had a meeting to plan our Colorado elk hunt (1st rifle) in October. The season is coming up boys. As far as the...

Well, it looks like we successfully jumped through all the hoops for entry into Canada. After a long drive and a night at the base by Armstrong, Ontario, 3 of us are flying into an outpost camp for a lot of fishing, card playing, eating, etc. I will give a follow-up report (with pictures) in a...

Nooooooooooo!!! If CC can make this mistake, then what risk are us other mortal souls at? Good to hear you're OK and figured out what happened. I don't reload much, but I learned something important from you sharing a mistake.

None other than right here.

Here's an update with a bit of positive information. 1. The border service strike is apparently settled and they have a tentative contract signed. 2. I was able to schedule an approved covid test at the nearest Walgreens. That is either free or paid for by my insurance, so I can cancel the...

We were antelope hunting in part of the M deer zone, and found this abandoned pickup off of a 2-track. It had rained a couple days before, and I was able to get around on my Polaris Ranger, but it was a grind. Even the main roads, if not paved can become a quagmire with a little rain or snow...

DUH - YEAH!!!!

Congrats Marcus. There's nothing wrong with that time on a tough course. I always loved to do trail runs, but don't expect to match times with what you have done on flat surfaces. Even if the course if relatively flat, you have to be very careful on your footing and pacing. If you have a...
