I’m booked now for Little Crow, just past Proulx.

Dale

Ontario parks reservations says that they have no sites available on Proulx for the 8th to 10th. I’m wondering if I need to book Little Crow Lake?

Dale

I’m going to keep my eye on this one. I’d really like to come just need to check out the timing with my job commitments. I’d be interested in Wednesday to Sunday.

Dale

Wow, wish I could have made it, looks like the weather cooperated and the feast looks great. Unfortunately it happened right at my Father's birthday and my Mother became hospital bound with serious...

If I didn't have to live with her daughter the rest of the year, I'd jump at the chance to go on the trip but it's also my 4th anniversary.

Dale

I regret that I won't be able to join you all on this one. My mother-in-law is coming to visit from Sault Ste Marie for the first time since 2019 and we are celebrating her 80th birthday. My name...

Just wondering what the procedure is for registration? I think I saw somewhere that bookings aren't being taken until after a certain date?

Dale

I’m shooting for the Friday to the Monday.

Dale

May 5 - 10th would mesh best with my job!! Edited to add my vote to Rain Lake Access.

Dale

Hi Theyland. I will be attending the OBCS with my wife and daughter.

Dale

What site do you guys try to book?

Dale

Having to cancel my plans to attend, life has gotten in the way unfortunately. Hoping to meet up with you all again if you plan something next year.

Dale

Looks like I'm only going to be able to do 3 nights. I forgot my dad's 90th birthday is on the Saturday so it looks like I will be paddling out on the Friday. Oh well, I will take what I can get....

Please count me in. I'm not sure if I can do all 7 nights but probably 5 nights. I've been to Donald Lake once before and can attest it is a beautiful area.

Dale

Thanks for this report Quiet and all the details you have provided!!

Dale

Well, I was hoping Jiblets or Cruiser51 or Joe would add their tale of adventure to this thread but hopefully it's okay if I do.

After the main contingent left Jiblets, Joe, Cruiser51 and myself...

I’m hoping that Jiblets or Cruiser51, or both, chime in with their trip reports for the loop we completed. It was a real adventure and a real pleasure to trip with those three men. Cruiser, I hope...

Sorry, I'm not coming in until the 15th so I guess the potluck is out for me.

Dale

Is anyone here going to the Ontario Backcountry Canoe Symposium on April 9th?

Dale

I hear you on the Covid Test, sounds like a good idea. I think I might just make that May 15th to 19th.

Edited to add, I have my reservation booked May 15th for 4 nights. Can't wait to hang out...

Well, the wife has green-lit this trip for me if I want to go, she won't be able to go so I will probably look at renting a Swift solo canoe. Just wondering what sites people are shooting for? I'm...

I've been known to be persuaded quite easily in the past. Before the whole Virus thing struck, I hung out with a bunch of internet scoundrels that would car camp on the Grand on the May 24 and...

MacIntosh is an ambitious destination but doable in one day if you set out early enough. I've done it but many years ago. Love your trip reports to Tom Thompson, I've been on that lake many times,...

Wow, I'd really like to come along on this hang. Can't totally commit right now due to work but I will try to pull some strings closer to the date.

It's too bad you don't ship to Canada by USPS, I would buy it.

I'm just wondering if it has the little strappy things that match with the tie-outs on the HH Asym?

Jefftrex,

Is this set up to fit a Hennessy Hammock as an underquilt? On the Jacks website it says it was designed for the Bear Mtn Bridge hammock. I have the HH Exped Asym.

Dale

Man this sounds nice, would love to join you guys, unfortunately I've got Friday the 13th in Port Dover and my 17th anniversary on the 14th.

I got the .9 litre Vargo Ti Pot from my wife
Titanium Spork from my bro-in-law
An excellant Muela "hunting" knife from my 11 year old son(perfect size)
a couple hoodies from my older kids
and a...

Great background and I must say, as an owner of 3 quilts, one tarp, one hood and the "down to earth" pad, I am a user and a fan.

Hey, lots of crown land in my area.:lol:

Welcome Snipe, good to have you with us.

From a former K-W son.

Okay, well I have now found this thread, Thanks Brian for directing me here.
I would definitely be interested in this hang depending on the decided date and location of course.

I have hung to a...

Great trip report Chris, makes me want to do the same on my VStar, would just have to convince the wife that it's therapy for the soul.

Here's a interesting tidbit, camping last weekend near...

Hi Blair,

Good to see you here on HF. I've used my HH on many canoe trips and you will not have any trouble finding good trees for hanging.

Got my mail today, the buff looks great but I only received one and I'm pretty sure I ordered and paid for 2.

Hello fellow Ontarians. I am now located in Chelmsford Ontario.

Grundy Provincial Park.

It doesn't have back country sites but it does have Group sites and Hiking trails.

Ordered 2, can't wait.

There shouldn't be any duties if the package and documents say that the item was manufactured in the USA. We have something called a freetrade agreement.
However, there will probably be GST and PST...

Well I received mine today, here in Ontario. They are all attached and the sewing done. Thanks Dutch and Tim they are great, can't wait to use them in the field.

I cut short the suspension ropes on my Hennessy Exped Asym. I attached rings on the small length at the hammock. I then tied one end of the longer cut rope to one end of the tree hugger, attached a...

I'll take 6 if you will mail them to Ontario.

Dale

I have used my ORM down to 25 with no problems at all, wearing just a tshirt and light fleece pants, and socks of course. What insulation are you using underneath? That could be the problem. I use...

Now is my time to add to the praises of 2Q and ZQ. I received my HH back yesterday in good time, considering I live in Canada. There were no extra duty or brokerage charges because the package was...

I just checked out the REI site and the regular length down pads are gone. I did order the short down pad for 48 bucks though.

Dale

4 footers are good.

Dale

Well, with so many people switching to Rings and Straps or Cinch buckles and Straps, does anyone have any HH tree huggers they want to part with?

I switched 2 HHs to the rings and straps but due...

At home I'm taking the trip 3 to 4 times per night. Out in the bush, I'm talking mostly canoe trips, I have found that if I reduce the fluid intake after supper and I make sure I am warm in the...

Just got back from hanging in Algonquin park in Northern Ontario, the lows where 0 celsius or 32 farenheit on Friday night and 3 celsius or 39 farenheit. I did exactly as you said Peter Pan and I...
