Thanks guys, BWC. com it is.
MY dad and I are in the early stages of planning a trip to the boundary waters this fall. Apparently you have to apply for a permit, ie know access/entrance points, early on. I was wondering for...

I second that...might I add and very expensive as well! This looks like a very good deal, and great time of year to buy... if they were only a size medium!!!
Thanks for sharing :)
My dad and I were going to take a trip up there this september, which has been postponed to next year. It's good to know what to avoid though...don't think the old man's...

Way cool Shug :boggle: What time of the day was that????
Really bummed about this, was looking forward to meeting you fourdog...Next time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I quit my job as a nurse to hike the trail last year. I suppose any profession/trade that is in demand would be one to consider if you like to take long walks every once in a while. I spent close to...
So far the official head count is 12?
Snipen, change of plans...I will hopefully be landing somewhere (Mr. green's couch possibly) in the twin cities on wed night and arriving on thursday. Still...

Good deal, thanks Snipen! Really looking forward to spending some time in the woods again. Not necessary that you join me on Wed Snipen, but you are welcome to :)

I can make the trip, however I'm thinking about heading up wed and will have to leave on sunday, pretty early since it's an 8 hour drive for me. I can do whatever is needed wed night at porcupine...
I'm really hoping to get the time off I requested for this trip. Im planning on being there around thursday afternoon and will have to leave pretty early sunday. Thanks for doing the leg work Snipen....
Would love to...they haven't posted the holiday schedule for the summer yet...will try to swing it if I have memorial day off :)

Scary headline! Glad to hear your quilt is safe and sound;)
Awesome, good to know!
Thanks Mac, now onward to Amazon!! P.S. I thought for sure your mukluks were store bought!
Man, I am so bummed I missed this trip!! Looks like a great time was had by all, and I agree with Pizza you guys should make it an annual thing...I'm going to purchase one piece of winter gear each...
Oh, jeeze I regret the fact that I won't be at this hang. Looks like a good lineup and just the gearlist alone...all the goodies I will miss seeing. Ho, hum...looking forward to the pictures and trip...

Wow! This makes so much more sense to me now than it ever has! Thanks for your illustration and link to that article. Now we just need someone to make/market a VBL union suit with pit/crotch...
Lol! There's another way to do this?!!!
I wonder if skipping a family christmas event would put me on the naughty list?
I missed quite a bit over the summer, better not push my luck:rolleyes: I will miss you too Stormcrow :(
Heck of a deal on that ULA pack...wish I was a small frame instead of a medium frame...I'd be all over that!!!!

I hung in a...

Hey fourdog...I might need to borrow a pair of snowshoes. Can you put me down for a maybe?
:scared::eek:Oh my! Thanks for sharing and am glad he came out of that unscathed.
You can blame my parents for that one:rolleyes: If I ever become a parent, I will never ask my kid, that can read to place presents under the xmas tree that are signed "from Santa" I remember that...
I second that! Very informative article, thanks for sharing shug.
I think I'm gonna invest in that book. Thanks for the suggestions Beep :)
Yeah I wasn't sure about alcohol stove vs canister stove, but would like to avoid bringing any gear I will have to pee on;) do you think mountainhardware powerstretch gloves/mitten would work?

1 pair midweight merino icebreaker layer top/bottom
2 pair smartwool hiking...
