Hi,
After my other arctic planning thread, [henceforth known as the lead balloon thread]
I posted on BushcraftUSA, asking for some advice. HERE.
As you can see [from the link] a member of BCUSA, and Wintertrekking, and HammockForums.net, called Chard, has very kindly extended an invitation for us to camp with their group.
He has mentioned that they have been going for about five years now.
The group camp in Kawartha Highlands provincial park, [145km squared] which isnt far from Toronto airport, and also about 25km from Algonquin national park. [They are mainly hammock hangers, but also some use snowtrekker tents and stoves]
He even mentioned that they would likley be able to organise rides for us as well!
A return flight from the UK to Toronto airport can be bought for as little as £450-£600.
I think this is a unique opportunity to learn skills from these local guys, and to visit a classic bushcraft area of the world. And its going to be cold.
Probably -15˚ and maybe colder.
Please could you put your name under this thread, if this is potentially of interest to you?
Looks like its going to be late January/early February?
Thanks.
Dave
