I have a lot of respect for the trail crew having done work like that when I was young. I would take board walk building duty over erosion control duty that grub axe work is back breaking. I met one of the trail crew guys on the island and I had to shake his hand and thank him for the work that they ...

Is the "most fun day" statement sarcasm? :)


No sarcasm it was a hike I will never forget seeing the moose and having a challenging hike like that in the weather conditions we had was actually fun. We were properly dressed for the conditions and had the proper gear had we not been, it would not ...

Forgot to mention only saw 1 mosquito in 4 days

Friday we hiked from Rock harbor to Three mile trail is very muddy weather was good clear and cold . We wanted to make it to Daisy but stopped. Fished at 3mile no fish .Saturday we ...

What shelter # ? Going to Daisy In 8 days don't want that one if it is a leaker


I'm 99.99999% certain it was shelter #11. I got first dibs and picked that one for being on the lake (sort of), and close to the privy.

Like teddy12b I will be new to IR. (Next week) And I really do appreciate the help with the gear advice thank you so much to the veteran IR fishermen . Gander mountain would probably thank you too .

Maybe not have to set up a tent in the shelter to hold heat loss to a minimum. :?:

Could bump the time to 5 seconds and the video would still be fairly short. I like the shorter YouTube videos vs the over 30 minute Ones

I guess I should ask the Ranger about hammock setup along the trail . I see it done a lot in AT and PCT videos on YouTube at the scenic spots it would be nice to set up and chill out at Mt Obbjibway or on the Greenstone.

My pack is at 34 lbs gear,food and fuel. My wife's pack is at 32. We are planning on going to Daisy on the first day. Second day get up early and go up to Mt Obbjibway (no packs ) then Daisy to Moskey. Fish Moskey? Or hike to Lake Richie and fish Richie? Day three Moskey to three mile. Day four ...

How was the trip? We are going to do the same route but the opposite way in 2 weeks.
