I want to try this but I'm new at doing solo camping/kayaking, esp primitive, it seems a bit intimidating to me (not sure if being female is a factor in that lol). I was considering backpacking in, I didn't realize you could drive to and launch from the camp.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13321311577232856597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623783702817286783.post-67317001866866890762010-11-29T22:05:55.885-05:002010-11-29T22:05:55.885-05:00You know you've been camping when you bring us...You know you've been camping when you bring used TP home with you.

Used to get lumber out of the forest. Take a look at the picture of the Spring. See the line of posts in the upper left? That's part of the tram line.

I live so close I can just walk right in with out a car ride. Lately I have been reading your blogs and you have got me motivated to go explore. Thank you.<br /><br />Have you been able to tell where there use to be a train track? I have heard that there use to be one that went through there years ago. <br /><br />Once again, Thanks<br />ShaneThe Degler's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02041690857162691993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623783702817286783.post-41358716393657437422010-10-11T21:07:55.270-04:002010-10-11T21:07:55.270-04:00Glad to read that you had a good time. great post....Glad to read that you had a good time. great post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623783702817286783.post-46668155267801002992010-10-11T19:17:25.278-04:002010-10-11T19:17:25.278-04:00Thanks all, for the advice.

Check out... <br /><br />http://www.jureystudio.com/pennystove/<br /><br />I have cooked many delicious meals in the bush using this stove. You may have to tend to it because of the high heat, but, it does the job with minimal weight/ space.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15837940329671838760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623783702817286783.post-64434045890497159792010-10-11T10:44:23.181-04:002010-10-11T10:44:23.181-04:00Another great post Dave.Dark Knight, save the pepp...Another great post Dave.Dark Knight, save the pepper spray for burglers, I lived in North Idaho 23 years and shooed many a mother and cubs away from berry bushes while picking, if she is mad and close enough for pepper spray to work, and the wind doesn't blow it back in your face, it is too late anyway. Very docile animals, just like gators, more scared of you than them.Smokey Joe is the best fire I have used, Dave, the camp stoves just burn to hot to cook with, mainly good for boiling things dehydrated. <br />Look forward to next tale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623783702817286783.post-71530533615849048222010-10-11T09:05:11.104-04:002010-10-11T09:05:11.104-04:00Looks like you had a great time.

Go figure; she is not afraid of gators but the only idea of crossing paths with a bear terrifies her. I have been thinking about buying pepper spray and have it available just in case. I mean, it worked for Jack Hannah and a grizzlie. I guess it would work with a black bear.That would make her feel more confident. After reading your comment about Mommy Bear I am going to do it.Luishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03796675163619322223noreply@blogger.com
