Janette, the toad to the group camp area was closed. It should hoped once it drys up a little. I wasn’t able to hike into either sites due to my daughter having foot pains during our hike. The next...

I’m going to be at Maria State Park this weekend. I’m taking my 12 year old daughter on her first backpacking trip. I’ll be in spot B1.
This happens to be really close to my house so I went out...
It’s true that backpacking is all about the experiences. You may tell a stories for a few weeks about the beauty of the place you visited, but it seems like stories about the experiences last...
Looks like a great trip! I like those canoes!!
Alifeoutdoors, that sounds like a rough start. What shape was the rest of the trail in during that trip?
Xmagnolia, I grew up In Mississippi and know exactly how you’re feeling right about now. Relief is not far off for you y’all
looks like a great trip. I hope i'm able to make it to the UP next year at some point
I just got back from my first trip to the BWCA. If you've never been it is worth the effort to get up there. We had a night of thunderstorms, but other than that it was decent weather. The bugs were...
What was your trip itinerary? I just spent 2 nights on the Angleworm Trail and got back yesterday.
Thanks Shug, I always watch you SHT videos and I completely forgot that you do BWCA trips too.

Thanks for the info, I ended up finding that FB group after making this post. I hope I can make a trip up to help out. At the very least I can go up and feed the mosquitoes.

Thanks for the info guys. I may stick to angleworm for my first BWCA experience. I just want a pleasant backpacking trip with some beautiful north woods scenery.
What groups are leading cleanup...
I’m trying to plan a walk in the woods in the BWCA and after digging around on the web I found that in the 2006 timeframe many of the trails were not in good condition. Has that since passed? Is...
Sounds like fun. I wish I could make it, but I have a “work day” planned at a friends house on Saturday. I hope I’m able to catch the next one.
I’ll have to look up the FB group.

Sorry to hear about your friends dad. I’m glad to hear you made it out for a little while.

I work out of state and won’t be home by this weekend.
For seclusion I would hike the south orrock trail (its on the sand dunes map). Anywhere off of there sound be a little quieter than the...
I will be making an effort this year to meet up with folks from the forums to do some hangs. I’ll be posting here whenever I plan on going out so that other may join if they wish.
I definitely...
When are you going? I may join you if you’re looking for company, and the dates work out...
Are you looking for a place you have to hike in to, or car camp? Do you value solitude and quiet, or are...
I wish I would have seen this sooner. I would have gone, but sadly I’m terrible at checking the forums on any regular basis. I need to get better about checking in.
How was the trip?
Anyone know how small the 4 season will pack down and what the weight is? I checked the website but could t seem to find it.
Thanks
I'm interested, but I work out of town for 8 days, then I'm home for 6. It would depend on the dates.
Squidbilly, yours looks to be in really good shape!
Fantastic job!
perfect! thanks guys
I did find a pouch in one of the drawers with a bunch of needles and what looks like a shuttle hook. I'll get the serial number off of it and use the links you provided
size 20 is 1/2" diameter so it will be close i'm sure, has anyone used this combo before?
does anyone know if size 20 kam snaps will fit on a 5/8" piece of grosgrain?
Thanks for the link, that willl come in handy once i start restoring it.
My family thinks it is funny that I am getting all the old sewing machines from all of my older family members. I guess...
I spoke to a local shop that does servicing. they are going to clean it up for me. I have a husky star 219 that i'm currently using, and i have no plans to use this singer on gear. I would like to...

My mother-in-law gave me a couple of machines, just wondering if this big fella would be good for making gear?
that certainly could be an option
That sounds like enough time to see a pretty good bit of the trail and at a great time. Are you aiming to see color change?
Do you know of a guide that shows what size needle to use with different types of thread...or is it all trial and error?
Thanks shug, seems I've got a lot of rewatching videos to do...not that it is a bad thing haha.
I'll highlight that one in the book for sure. Thanks again :)
Good info, thanks xxl_hanger
then a #5 works out to what I need…thanks for the help
That would be a blast to do, but sadly I don't have a canoe or kayak. Could you guys pull me in a tube behind the canoe? :)
and by the way…I live in Big Lake! nice to see you on here neighbor!
I had no problems in Itasca SP last fall. I didn't ask permission though. If you find out an answer one way or the other, please let us know.
I'm going to have to see how much of my summer I can gain back from my employer this year. I really wanted to do some sections last year but ended up working the entire summer on a schedule that gave...
Pipsissewa, I also love to watch Fronkey's vids. Again, he doesn't make it easy to settle in on which section should be my first lol. I don't currently have plans for a thru hike; however, i would...
thanks for the input alifeoutdoors. I've been watching Shugs videos for quite a few years…truth be told, it's one of the reasons I even looked at Minnesota when searching for a new job :)

i'm trying to decide on a coil size for a partially zippered footbox for my top quilt. DIY supply has #5 and #3. They are currently out of the #3 so #5 is all that is available. What kind of size...
I've been living in Minnesota for a year and a half now and i'm ready to start hiking the SHT. I bought the book and I can't decide on what section to start hiking. I'm looking for recommendations...
msudawg, thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to take a closer look at your setup.
thanks for the link michael_qrt. those are exactly what i was looking for
I am going to be making 4 total over the rest of this year. One for my teenage daughter, 10 year old daughter, wife, and me. If one needs to be smaller it will be one of the kids top quilts. It makes...
