www.Cachelake.com has some great fying pan breads and other items. I used some of these on my trip. The sweet potato corn bread is awesome. A small frying pan/mess kit is all you need and a flame.

Indian Portage backbreakers...... I will also be posting my own trip report for the trip my wife and I took on May 30 to June 3, Rock Harbor to Windigo. I had a similar experience as HEX, I could almost copy hers and post it in reverse!! http://img1.imagehousing.com/89 ...

So funny you say on tuesday you were at Hatchett lake and had a tree fall on your site. I was there May 31 also, Individual site #2 and had a three stand of Poplar trees fall 6 feet from my tent. Trees fell around 10 pm. Talk about a light nights sleep. http://img1.imagehousing.com/47 ...

I have to agree that beef stroganoff is one of the better mountain house meals. Chili Mac and mexican rice with beef also. As for cache lake fry breads, I have bought them and tried at home but never field tested yet. Very good, sticky as batter and can burn when using a Jetboil burner and a pan, so ...

MetalMan, I too am planning a beginning season trip with friends to IR end of May, June. I have researched the schedules closely, and found that depending on when you get to IR, is when you can possibly find a trip on the Voyageur II to go around the island. Unfortunately for me, I am arriving on ...

I have always used my ETREX Legend for Hiking. You get good signal except under dense tree canopies. It works great, and carry it as a luxury item. I have never needed it, but like having it around to check locations at rest stops,(for distances).
