Re: Homemade Gear & Gadgets
I have a friend who had a "20 foot belt." He looped 20' of parachute cord, or something smaller, back and forth through snap buckles to make a serviceable belt, and it served as emergency rope. Can't remember the details, but anyone reading this could probably make their own design.

Maps
I have the Trails Illustrated map of the island. It is nearly the same scale (1:50,000) as the Fisher F series maps I have been using in Quetico for years. Any need to get more detailed topo, or other, maps? I'll be going solo from McCargoe to Rock Harbor via Belle Isle.

Re: Water filter recommendation?
While researching filters, I ran across a reference to the "notoriously silty waters of Isle Royale." Since I haven't been there yet, can someone comment?

Poison Ivy?
I get a rash just thinking about poison ivy. How much is there on the island? Any particulary bad spots?
