Re: TR: (Hiking) 6-6 to 6-14 2015 Windigo to Daisey via Malone to Chippewa bushwack

I will get this trip report finished up soon, maybe a photo or it two as well. I have about 2 weeks of work left for the season, then I will have lots of time :)

So it is good to be back! Look forward to shooting the breeze again with you all !!

Re: Broken Trees?

I concur with treeplanter.The black blotches are consistent with fungus/ canker. I also have to wonder about a moose trying to remove velvet from its antlers....any shredded bark in the area?

Re: Packing for boat Voyager

The crews on the V2 are great guys. They will take the best care possible.I hand up my pack and walking stick seperately, no problems.I would recomend a small carry on though.It is a long cruise, and you may want a nibble or a drink.

Re: Backcountry/CrossCountry Questions - Stick Stoves

We just did the bushwack from Malone to chippewa harbor....I wouldn't recomend this area if you are not well skilled in the bush

We use a stick stove, and wouldn't want it any other way :)
