Re: Algae blooms in Richie and Chickenbone
Depending on how you route yourself, there may be ok water at Lake Lesage or Lake Livermore, or McCargoe Cove, within 2 miles of WCB campsite. Maybe you can work with that and manage your fill-ups to have essentially a dry camp at WCB? I'll take a look at options. We'd either be coming from Lane or...

Re: Coffee On The Isle
French press worked great for coffee quality! I had a generic Amazon backpacking french press with an aluminum pot and silicone lid. The pot was pretty inefficient to heat compared to my other cook pots. To save weight it doubled as my cook pot so I used about 3 times more fuel than usual but that ...

Re: Algae blooms in Richie and Chickenbone
Bummer. We were hoping that we'd get lucky and get a night in at WCB in a couple of weeks. That's a site that we haven't visited yet.

Lane Cove Trail Conditions?
I've been poking around and don't see anything from this season, so thought I'd ask. In what kind of condition is the trail down to LC? Boardwalks beat up or are they in decent shape? Trying to figure out if that's the first stop out of RH or the last stop before catching the boat. TIA.

Re: TR: July 2022 [CB-W; Hatchet; S Desor; IM]
The older I get, the less I want to eat on trips. I have to force myself to eat breakfast, then I snack a little at lunch and once in the afternoon. Once camp is set up, I really don't want to eat at all. If I force myself to eat in the evenings, sometimes I'll get a little nauseous. I didn't have t...

My understanding is that something like an aquatab doesn't kill the hydatid tapeworm cysts.

Re: TR: 5/30-6/12, 2022 [Hiking] Minong Ridge Trail E>W
Thanks for a great TR. That's part of the island I haven't been on yet. I need to get it planned while I'm still able to do it.
The Hoosier Hiking folks are great resource for those of us in IN. I've never met them, but glad to hear they're the type of folks I expected them to be.

Re: Chickenbone algae bloom?
Current alerts don't include anything about algae blooms at specific locations or in general. With the current weather trends, it may rear it's head yet this month.

Re: Water Filtering
An Alaskan bud told me he uses coffee filters as a water pre-filter. Quite light for sure. Back when I pumped, I would use a coffee filter for the inlet. Worked great. Now I use a Sawyer. Using a gravity setup, I just let it sit a little longer in the dirty bag to settle out. If I'm not using a gra...

Re: Feldtmann loop or not
Late to the conversation, but I did a modified loop that I really thought was great. Windigo > Feldtmann (side trip to sunset at Rainbow cove) > Siskiwit > S. Desor > Malone > VII back to Windigo/Grand Portage. Malone was a great experience and I'm glad I did it. Without starting or ending there, I...

Re: Normally hang between the trees, but...
I have a Paria Breeze too. I use it as a back up to my hammock or on trips where I can't hang. In the summer, I use my Hennessy Hex and in the shoulder seasons use my chill gorilla fortress. I've never had a problem with either set up in bad weather. With the Hennessy, I have something like 30"...
