Thanks for sharing, stunning scenery.

Looks like a great trip, thanks for sharing. I always think a tipi with wood stove looks like a great, toasty option for winter.

Good that winter camping avoids the summer neds. On the east coast.

So how long until you bring Wee man over to Canada to see the bears?

Maybe when hes a tad older Lloyd and he can handle all the portages for his old man and can go fetch me the blueberry ales i fell in love with lol. You still working out west mate or you back home in NB.

I am home now.

I already have a guy coming from Yorkshire for the 2013 season. A repeat customer. Probably do the same route we did along the US border but I will add on the River section. Mostly Class I and II with a couple III's. A good learner river. He wants to do some shooting too so there will probably be a day of that. My financial adviser wants me to start offering courses and "make wider use of my skill sets". Maybe... as long as there can still be a night at the Pump House.

Anyhow it would be great to see you guys for another trip in 2013 and maybe Wee man in the future. As long as he does not try to go hug the bears on the portage trails like his old man.

Excellent col. The wee man would have been in his element. You,re right about starting them young fella. I too have often got a young bushcrafter in tow. He,s 10 now and loving the outdoors.
Heres a pic of him when he was 5 and in charge of refueling the hobo.
