I am a strong maybe. Too close to home for me to not at least try to get there.....providing there is no travel for work.

Hey guys
Gotta bow out .... looks like I'm going to New Zealand for work instead :cool:
We went through Pen this spring and the "island" sites at the north end didn't have campsite signs on...
I've stayed on the point on the western site on Rose Island. That decision was based on the direction of the wind so it would keep the bugs down. The access to get to the site is a bit tricky for...
My son and I have been using hammocks for a few years in the interior of Algonquin without any issues. A couple years ago we got "Oh ... you are one of those guys" ..... not sure what he meant, but...
Welcome to the forum from another Cambridgian .... Cambrian .... [whatever]..... WELCOME!
Welcome to the forum.
As Brian mentioned, Bubba is in your immediate area and there are a few of us that are very close.
As I am just finishing some mods on my DIY stuff .... I might be heading...
I might be interested in a couple nights at Valens. The dates you have listed might be possible so keep me posted on dates and I will see what I can arrange to get off.
Hey Martin .... nice video's.:thumbup:
On a couple of occasions that I've been able to "enjoy" crown land (not all), they have been less that favourable. This is a great way to get to untouched and...
I've fished the river at Whiskey Rapids and I think the terrain would be a be a bit of a challenge in the winter. It drops down from the parking lot to the river with some pretty steep terain. Be...
I pulled into Algonquin a couple years ago and had the following conversation .....
Me : staying for 4 nights
Ranger : tent colour?
Me : we are sleeping in hammocks
Ranger : oh .... you're one...
I am shooting for Sat night .... I have to verify but so far it is looking good!
:blush:
Sorry fellas .... have to bail on Friday .... but I will be there for sure on Sat. I am thinking of bringing my canoe and doing a little fishing on Sat so I will be there shortly after...
I've just put my foot down and demanded that I go Friday night as well.....
That didn't work so I asked nicely....
I am in for Friday as well! Sorry Bubba .... looks like you are going to have to...
I'm in for Sat night .... not 100% sure about Fri night
I may also have my brother with me on Sat night
Is that definitive enough?
Number of attendees: One
Number of nights : Saturday for sure, possible for Friday.
Number of vehicles: One
Preferred venue: Valens
Bringing: Whatever fits in the car.
Welcome from another paddler/hanger from Cambridge.
Check out the link that Bubba sent....it is worth the short trip to meet everyone. I'll be going for the day as my setup is still a little light...
I will be there for a visit unless work plans a trip for me that weekend.
I likely won't stay the night as I still don't have good winter insulation and I have to change out my suspension..... but...
We went through there in the spring. Most of the hits and catches were on Little Trout Lake. We stayed on Queer Lake .... and the fishing sucks there.
Check the fishing regs .... you might only...
The portage is not bad at all .... pretty wide and fairly accessable. We were there in the spring, so there was a ton of deadfall covering the trail.
I will say this .... that's almost 3km of...
Man, I wish I was in the country that weekend..... I miss my fall trips to APP. I don't miss my old nemesis Smoke Lake though.
I have been to both lakes and they both have excellent campsites. The...
@ntfd60
I'm 99.9% sure they have ice fishing there. I haven't checked for dates yet but if I stop by for the day, I'll be fishing for the day and stop in for a coffee before I leave. Last I...
Chard ..... looks like [o]TTeR beat me to the response;)
What you can't see is [o]TTeR has his "bird calling device" in his hand. I thought we were going to get lucky and see wildlife down there,...
Good to see everyone again .... and to meet some new people as well.
Thought I would add a couple of the pics that I got.

I'm thinking to show up around noon. I'll becoming in late from Quebec so I'll need time to get everything "packed".
Is the site number still 17 or can we find that out at the entrance?
I have the date noted on the calendar......just have to be sure I adjust my work travel schedule so I am back in time to get there.
[o]TTeR : might have to borrow one of those UQ's of yours as I...
Hey Brian
PM me the date and campsite number and I may show up for a visit..... as I am only 15 min from Valens.
:cursing:
Foiled again ......
I guessed that the fall trip would be 2 weeks prior to this ..... and planned for that. My manager set a workshop in Poland and I was going to show up a couple...
Hey Preston
Welcome to the forum and to hanging. I am heading up to Algonquin on Thrusday for a 4 day trip as well. As someone else mentioned, another group is heading up the following weekend...
Oh crap .... you guys did it to me again ..... I am going to miss another one.
It seems I missed the original post (and the 25 other pages after that). I will be up in the park next weekend...
UGH!
This is usually the weekend that my son and I spend 4 days in APP. I will be returning from Spain on the Saturday otherwise we would be in for sure.:(
I've done pretty much every one of...
I've tried something simular with a "Canadian slip knot". The thing I don't like is the excess line dangling around or inside the bag or .....
I've also tried a diamond knot over the line that...
I have been gathering all my scraps and have concidered making a patchwork underquilt. I think the desert digital, royal blue and hunter orange scraps might look kinda cool!
I can't offer up any...
Hey ..... yet another one. I am from Cambridge and I work in Burlington. I am a DIY'r and I'm always looking for new ideas and I'm more than willing to share ideas.
I hope to be able to meet some...
Hey Brian
I will check with my wife for those days.....but I may have to book for 2 as my son may want to be included in the mix.
I'll let you know as I may see you before too long.;)
Welcome to the forum.
I spent the better part of 3 months in Vaasa Finland. Went to Helsinki to watch the Toronto Maple Leafs play the Jokerit. We also got to camp about 300km north of the artic...
Nice bonding time ...... take advantage of it while it is still possible.
My son has been asking for a hammock for his room. He doesn't want to use his camping hammock ..... he wants a bridge like...
I may be able to get a supply of rope that a local supplier makes. He makes utility rope but he also makes quite a bit of that black cord for lawnmower and snowblower pull starts. I've used some of...
When I read the tag I thought "Why would anyone want to pee in their hammock?" But since you asked ..... here goes!
First - for the men - stand in a upright position and walk to your hammock. Be...
Nicely done!
I did my first hammock early summer and just finished my 4th with 2 more on backorder. This is what you can look forward to ;)
I've tried the bug net that you are looking at and it...
I wouldn't call a 0deg bag overkill......but on the other hand ......it may well be. As noted by other Ontarian's here, it's not so much the heat as it is the humidity. I'm sure that far north the...
There's another convert! Great idea with the bunk bed.
My daughter has my first hammock in her room and she loves the fact that she only has to throw the blankets into the hammock to make it.
I have never cooked under my sleeping tarp. I have never cooked under the vestibule of my tent. I do not keep anything but clothes in my tent or under my tarp. Food is prepared and stored away from...
Have to agree with Cannibal .... very nice setup Hogn8r.
Cannibal : I too am blessed with a VERY understanding wife and it sure makes it easier when they do understand. She does give me some...
I'm creeping up on Cannibal status! I don't think I have achieved that status ....... but my love of hanging may come close one day.
I've a room in the basement for gear ..... tents, fishing gear,...
LOVE THEM!!!
Bought 2 sets for my son and I. When I have to set up 2 hammocks in weather ..... those 30 seconds are priceless.
Did I mention that I LOVE THEM?
Thinking that I might buy more...
Welcome from yet another Ontarian :confused: (that just doesn't roll off the tongue right). The more the merrier!
I have to agree with Brian ..... Ontario hang is in order!
Can you add another Canadian to the list.

The .... :lol: pictures are .... :lol: too funny. Not sure I would get rid of the static yet ..... myself ..... I would get the kids to get in and out as many times as they would fall for that....
I've spent quite a bit of time in the woods and have had a few un-invited visitors into the camp. Nose to nose with an Elk that was standing right in front of the tent. It's amazing how long you can...
One of my biggest issues with the lightweight stoves is trying to find flat gound to set it on. Now that I don't care how flat the ground is for sleeping, this is the next thing to fix.
I got to...
