Thanks Brad! Those look inviting -- and not far from Detroit either. Good maps.

Hi everyone,
A few of us have been talking lately about canoeing here in Southern Ontario in

I live in Wallaceburg, between Sarnia and Windsor.
And one should never be without their fishing gear.

HI Brad,
I'm looking for algonquin-like surroundings (loons included) for a base-camp
trip. I don't have the stamina any more for long days paddling and portaging. I
go into Rain Lake entry (#3) at Algonquin and do one short portage then base
camp. That's 8 hours drive. I am looking for something that would be less
driving maybe 5-6 hours. But I don't know of any. The guy said he was thoroughly
familiar with central and south Ontario opportunities so I thought I would ask
him.

Hi Kewasin,
I'd like to know of someplace you might recommend for a 2-3 night base camp out,
similar to APP but a little closer to Detroit? My favorite entry in APP is Rain
Lake but less of a drive would be welcome.
Thanks,

Just a quick introduction since I am new to this group. I have decades of
experience tripping in central and northern Ontario. It looks like I will mostly
be grounded this season so I thought I might live vicariously for now. I have
plenty of experience to share. I have yet to paddle the NW so any of you that
have spent time in places like Quetico or Wabakimi, prepare to have your brains
picked.
Grab a couple books from the library, will help you plan a trip. Brook Trout &
Blackflies: A Paddler's Guide to Algonquin Park By Kevin Callan.
If your investing into good gear:
MSR IsoButan gas stove
MSR MiniWorks EX microfilter
I have a weighd back pak, 42lbs, I'm packed for 6 nights put in May 4th

Hi Laurie,
I'm thinking I will be going for a week or two..
I'm thinking in the summer or very early fall in a year or two..
I've never back packed either..
I'm ex-military so I am familiar with IMP's / MRE's but they are expensive.. I
was hoping I could make my own variation but I am willing for any and all
recipies and advice..
Maybe email me off list Laurie? My email address is GLpirate@....

Hi there Timothy,
I'm looking for any advice or information you can give me as I've never done
this type of thing before.
I'm going to be going in the summer, perhaps early fall.
I have no idea on how many lakes or portages...
And I am probably looking at not going for a year or two so I have time to save
money and invest a bit into this.

Hi Brad,
How long are you going for? When are you planning your trip for? That would be
helpful to know. Get a little further into the interior to avoid the crowds. It
thins out a lot after the first portage or three.
Pack light. Treat it like a backpacking trip instead of tripling portages.
You'll have a much better time.
Have you thought about your food choices? APP has a can and bottle ban in place
- plus cans are too heavy anyway - as are coolers. With a cooler there are some
risks especially in the hotter weather. You could buy freeze-dried foods but
they are expensive and some are unpalatable. I write wilderness cookbooks for a

Brad, I'm new paddler for say. Just bought my own personal canoes in 2004. I
have been paddling interior 300km+ yearly ever sence Algonquin, Kawarthas,

My question is what informational advice are you looking for?
What time or year?
How many lakes, how may portage?
Investing money into light weight gear.

OK, you can do it! You will need to do at least one prototype. Use it cautiously
and at reasonable speeds for a while, then figure out modifications and you will
doubtless be good to go on the second or third version. This will go in the
rearmost or second-to-rearmost stake pockets.
You will need a place to store it when it's not hauling your canoe.
I neglected to mention, in addition to the rack, you will surely want to use bow
and stern lines tied down to some location on the bumpers.
Best of luck and give us a holler if you run into anything "unexpected". :-))
If your pickup has drip rails, I will give you my old Quik-n-Easy clamps for
your cab's rack. Drip rails were so useful. In their day. :-((
