Re: dehyrated dinner gone bad

Another thing that may be contributing to this is that most of these meals have a fairly high sodium content.

Re: Advice for living the dream in the big city of Rock Harb

Ed,

I don't know if you have ever seen these, but they make canes that have a folding seat attachment that can be used in a pinch. Might be potentially useful.

Cheers,

Re: Advice for living the dream in the big city of Rock Harb

Hey there Ed!

I say get out there, do what you can, listen to your body (i.e., go as slow or as fast as you need to), and HAVE A BALL!!!!

Cheers,

Ernest T.

Re: TR: 9/10-9/21/2012 [RH-Malone Bay-Feldtmann Loop-Hugginn

I think you nailed it Mike. I made a photocopy of the channels (they had a two page list in the manual) and planned to shrink the copy and laminate it. Otherwise, it's just the fanciest walkie talkie I have ever owned. Here are some You Tube videos on VHF radio use that are helpful and short. http:/...

Hey Tim! I know you have to be busy, we are getting our act together as we are off to the Great North in less than two weeks. The radio is really quite straight forward. If all else fails, take the booklet with you in the car and have Shelly read it to you. :D Have fun and be safe my friend! Cheers,...

Re: Float planes and butane

Hey Smokey! I greatly appreciate the offer, but we'll be doing great. Got me one of those newfangled twig stoves so I will be saving on not needing to take fuel along. My pack weight at the start (including food and water) will be right around 40 pounds (not takin' any rocks...I like to pick 'em up ...

Hey Rafiki! Great trip report again as usual! It was worth the wait and as usual, had the bathroom humor that makes me chuckle!

Float planes and butane

Dumb question. I know that you cannot take cannisters of butane on the float plane (or any plane, for that matter). What about lighters? I have a small, refillable butane lighter that is pretty much like a mini torch. Anyone have any information in this area? I don't know that I will bring this alon...

Re: Ryden's Cafe - Closed for 2013?

Quick question as I have never stayed at Ryden's. What are the accommodations like? I mean number and size of bed(s), do you get a bathroom, is there a shower vs bathtub. I don't expect it to be The Hilton, but was just curious. Mrs. Bass is not real high maintenance, but I did not really want to sc...
