Hey Tom, I'll be there!

Great to see GPIR with a booth, and even better you'll be doing your talk again. As soon as you get an exact date, let me know. I usually only head down for one day, so I'll make that the day!

As is customary this time of year, I always pose the question to the forums to see what new fun stuff everyone is getting (reference here for last year's thread: http://isleroyaleforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=440) Last year I ended up buying luggage and not the MSR stove I wanted. LAME. So this...

I'd be all about some new snackage on the VII. On the way out I usually bring something to tide me over, but on the way back we have nothing (sometimes we can plan perfectly!). Who wants to haul around snacks for the ride back anyway? Now there's zero need to if there's some fresh fruit or similar o...

I haven't heard of this book, but "haunted" and "hiking" sound like my jam. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!

So share your favorite recipe for on the trail/water at Isle Royale (if you want to give up your secrets!) in this thread. One of my favorite meals is easy to make, but filling and delicious. It also doesn't generate a lot of garbage, and isn't heavy to pack, so it's a good one for that. Ingredients...

Well, I actually have some time to do some forum-related maintenance, so I read through all the suggestions and made some changes, including creating a Food & Cooking thread. You can find it here: http://isleroyaleforums.com/viewforum.php?f=15 We need some volunteers to moderate this thread, so ...

It's true! And for the low price of $9.95, you too can have a custom title on the IR FORUMS! :lol: Tom has it right, here's the break down of the titles: Title: Minimum posts NewbieCake: 0 LNT Expert : 50 Trailblazer: 100 Bushwacker: 200 May actually live on IR: 300 IR Expert: 500 I tried to figure ...

Har har har, guys...no it's not metric, and no it's not the Fibonacci sequence to figure out your post stats. The explanation is simple, though I didn't intend for this to happen: I upgraded the forum software the other day, and at the same time ran an auto-prune & synchronization of the board. ...

Hey all, Sorry for the hassle with the registration code and the password requirements. Believe me, they are not without merit. First, we've had numerous spammers crack our registration code (numerous!). The forum moderators spent quite a while cleaning up the spam posts they left behind, hence the ...

I've wanted to go to Canoecopia since I first talked to Johnhens, and maybe this is the final reason to go! Road trip!

Johnhens: what days will you be there? I'll coordinate my visit accordingly...

I've made numerous purchases from Amazon and have been very happy with my product, price, and service. However, I give you two cautionary statements: One big thing you need to be leery of on Amazon, and that's third-party vendors. Many stores use Amazon's web site technology to sell products (Target...

Seconding the Panasonic Lumix cameras. Amazingly durable (I've fallen on mine while skiing) and great battery life. Oh yeah, and it takes PHENOMENAL pictures.

Thanks Capt Don, happy holidays to you and yours as well, and to all the IR Forums members!

What an amazing year 2009 was, I can't wait for 2010!
