Yeah buddy, thanks!

Did you go?

I would surely have to change my plans if that is the case... anyone who gets back before I go on the 18th please update.

I'm guessing I can call the Ranger Station to check on this?!

As fonixmunkee said, I really like the writing style...

Great pictures too, thanks for sharing! The Moskey Basin pics, 15/16 I think... those are very nice

Thanks for sharing!

I'm going to carry an esbit stove, with some (4) fuel tablets nested inside. It is about the size of a deck of cards. Usually available as "military surplus" and they are pretty cheap. Some newer designs have been made in the essence of the esbit, but I've never been inclined to spend the ...

Welcome to the forums Mike! Funny for me to say having never been to IR, but nonetheless I’ll be there in less than 3 weeks!

He covers many topics such as building a survival kit, how to find/build shelter, food, weather, etc.....

Looks like I'll be getting that soon, there is a short trailer on the website too...

Sounds like you had a good time time despite the rain and hiking so much. Starting at Lookout Louise you would have covered the all of the Greenstone, but that may not have fit into your tight schedule though. I'll be doing 8-10 miles a day on average, still more than the NPS recommends for beginner...

Enjoy, we look forward to hearing about the trip!
