Got it! So, refresh my memory: do I need to pay to camp in the back country (aside from the park sticker which I already have)?

That's a good question/thought - I am not sure what the cancellation policy is - I don't need no stinkin' cabin so I am going either way!

Yea im really hoping to see at least some color and not a ton of people! I hear nothing but horror stories about cross trail so i def will be skipping it! For giggles, i checked the cabin and yurt...

Yea it was pretty brutal - needless to say it was a quiet ride back home! I looked at the DNR website and almost all the cabins and yurts are rented for that time period - I hope that isn't a bad...

Thanks for that! I tried this route in May of 2016 but my hiking partner, who claimed to have experience, made it maybe (2) miles so we endued up backing out (only one vehicle sadly). Hence the...

I know this is a "well discussed" subject but the knowledge here is so helpful! I am planning a solo trip into the Porcupine Mountains at the end of September (thinking September 21-26). I am still...

I am planning a trip about the same time! Solo for me im thinkin....

Hey all. Thank you for answering questions faster than i seem to be able to! For some reason taptalk isnt giving me notifications even though im subscribed

We're about the same size, but im shorter, and i find the s straps way more comfortable!!

Correct - large torso, large hipbelt, s straps, green color pack!!

In May 2016 I bought a new ULA Circuit (large torso, large hipbelt, S straps) w/ rain cover direct from Chris at ULA. I paid 235 for the pack and 30 for the cover (265 total). I purchased it for my...

following. dates depending, I'd be interested in an IAT or NCT, or some other northern WI hike/hang

Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk

I did a section of the NCT in WI early April this year. The morning I left Park Falls got 1" of snow in about 10 minutes, but it all melted and a few hours as the temps increased. It was a short one...

Hey all. I don't mean to hijack the thread but I have a question! I was hoping to make this trip but now I will be out of town. With that said: I'm heading out this weekend - just not sure...

Welcome from Weston WI!

I too just ordered the ursack with the liner.

Hey all! I just wanted to thank you all again for your comments. I ended up going with ursack. Thanks!!

Too many responses to reply to all of you - but thank you all for your insight and ideas! This is exactly what I was looking for! Only had one black bear encounter in camp at night and the reason was...

That's basically what I have been doing for the past 5 years also - dry bag... seeing as I have tons of them. Just wondering if I should use something a bit "better" when going further into the back...

I'm getting anxious for spring (well, to be honest I have been since the first snow!) and am starting to plan my first hiking trip of '16 into the Porcupine Mountains. Just wondering what you all use...

What's the weight of the pack?

I have the WBBB XLC and the WBSF and love it. My hammock have whoopies and tree straps. I use Dutch door clips and stingers for my tarp. I also use snake skins for the tarp

Welcome from Weston WI

I think I'm going to pass. Seem heavier than what I'm looking for. Thanks!

I am in the market for 2 new packs. Mine are 65L and heavy for that size (not to mention not of great quality). I'm interested pending pics - and I need to check the specs, etc. I assume the prices...

Just ordered the fancee feast

And from one newbie to another....the more you hang the more you will figure out - and the more addicted you will become! This forum is greatly helpful. Don't be afraid to chime in on threads, or to...

Welcome from Weston WI!

I will have to see how the dimensions of the foster pot match up to the Stanley cook set I currently have. The Stanley set is ss so it isn't crazy light but it will work for now. I thought I read...

I was thinking about that - keeping the fuel warm. I think it's also a good idea to not put all of your fuel into one container - maybe? Sure, there will some extra weight with multiple containers...

Yea the stove I have now is loud! I need to upgrade and am thinking about an alcohol stove. Does the fancee feast stove have a specific windscreen? Is there a specific pot /pot size you recommend...

Have you had any issues with your stove not working in the wind? Doesn't it take a while to boil water? How to you store/transport your alcohol to be sure it doesn't leak? I like how light this is,...

On my old camelbak you cannot remove the hose. That's why I was asking. I still worry about leaking due to past leak issues. I suppose I could do a few test runs, locally, with a full pack and see...

Thanks for the info j! I am hoping to finalize the trip loop in the next few days. I will let everyone know what I decide on!

But to refill the bladder : can i leave the hose on my pack strap and just pull the bladder out? I can't with the bladders I have now so it's a real pain cause I have to pull the bladder and the hose...

Thanks Sparky. I'm not worried about bears but it's good to know what to expect!

Huh....I've used camelbak omega but not the antidote. I may have to reconsider a bladder. I was going to move away from them! Do you have to remove the hose to fill the camelbak? You don't have to...

I have looked at both. Seems the overall concensus is that the bite valve on the camelbak is easier, but aside from that they are pretty similar - with the platypus being 1oz lighter (with the 2l). A...

Thanks bloomgorge!

Got it. The sawyer bottle I have now weighs 5.5oz. I like the bottle and have used it many times when kayaking, but I just don't like the fact that I have to suck through the filter. Makes drinking...

So here is a question: what are you all using for water filtration? Are you using something like the sawyer mini or are you using a pump/filter? Do you prefer water bottles that are rigid or...
