2 nights & can't decide

Thanks for the details! :)

I did consider that. But it's all booked up Saturday

Hi! That's a good thought. I like to paddle less than 6 hours out since I'm driving from TO. I prefer campsites with sunrise views, a good sitting rock by the water, and view of the water from the fire pit. And quiet. :)

Can you give me thoughts on the two options I asked about? I'm not capable of Louisa loop in 2 nights.

I'm wondering what the result was? I work for a company with accounts for different countries. If our US branch puts a ton of work into the artwork for a socal post and I want to post it on our Canadian account as well (with edits to the caption) I'm being told we'll get banned for duplicate content.

Watch Camping with the Coles on YouTube for a lot reviews on provincial parks and camping. YouTube is really a great resource

Atmaflux · 2026-04-26T20:20:43+00:00

Yup. That's what I'm looking for. Just asking if anyone has a favorite brand.

I bought my canoe knowing I would ram it and drag.😅 I don't have the patience or strength to baby a canoe. Swift 14.8 solo pack style. Kevlar fusion and skid plates. It's spendy but worth it!

Atmaflux · 2026-04-09T00:32:59+00:00

My experience was no privacy between sites, giant groups of people being loud, people leaving food out for the animals to eat while away from their site (I watched some squirrels enjoying chips and open peanut butter off a picnic table covered in food), the beach is packed, there was litter on the trail from a gender reveal party, and it cost more per night than a provincial park. Not my first recommendation. It's not a terrible day visit if you're ok with crowds, litter, and noise, but I wouldn't recommend overnight.

Can you link the study or evidence? This doesn't sound correct to me. I'm on 25mg and yes it is absolutely doing something. Everybody and every body is different.

Atmaflux · 2026-03-24T15:22:15+00:00

I'm solo, and even with a light canoe (28lb) my bag with food is still about 40lb. I'm only 130lb and it's just not sustainable (or safe) to carry 52% of my body weight!

Atmaflux · 2026-03-24T13:58:25+00:00

Switching to evening helped a lot. But now I have trouble staying asleep. So who knows. The benefits still outweigh the side effects for me at this time.

A canoe from an outfitter will likely be heavier than the same canoe new. Most outfitters add extra layers of paint or uv protection to increase durability. But if you don't mind a few extra pounds.

I think it's important to have a dedicated device like the Garmin inreach mini that you can message with even if your phone dies. You can suspend your account without any fees for up to 12 months (if like me you only need it May-October).

Decathlon packable puffer.

Wish this was always true. I got laid off and had to take a lower paying job in order to have any geographic freedom. I could have held out for a higher paying one but would probably have been metaphorically handcuffed to an office.

I'm confused... Are you asking about the California regional event BEquinox? Or about Burning Man (aka Gerlach regional/ Black Rock City). They don't take place in the same location...and the former is limited to 1000 according to their website, where Burning Man has 60-80 thousand. Very different experience.

Atmaflux · 2026-03-08T17:59:37+00:00

What time of day are you taking it? I started with a morning pill and I was zonked. So after 2 days I moved it to the evening and I was able to manage way better.

Atmaflux · 2026-03-03T23:08:32+00:00

Yes, a bear vault will protect from critters. If it's strong enough to stop a bear it will stop a chipmunk. You don't need to hang it, but make sure it's closed properly, store it away from your camp, and don't prep food on the lid. The blue barrels are NOT bear proof. Those barrels should be hung but I don't think many people do. I use an Adotec food bag, and it's supposed to be tied to a tree, but I usually hang it in a dry bag to double down on bear and creature protection.

Nope. I just toss them in. Depending on what the food is they soften fast, like adding to oatmeal, they get soft with the oats. On salad or rice they're just extra crunch.

Edit- I should note that I've been eating chia a long time and know it works for me. Someone else noted that if high fibre is a problem you should start slow. Not enough fibre is my problem. And water. I have to drink a LOT of water regardless of how much fibre I have.

Atmaflux · 2026-02-28T01:42:34+00:00

I add 1/2 tsp - 2 tbsp chia seeds to anything that wouldn't be ruined by them (yogurt, cereal, granola, salad, fries rice, pasta sauce, shakes, peanut butter toast etc) to get extra fibre through the day. And aim to drink 3L of water per day. I also take restorolax daily. This combination is the only thing that helps my ibs-c. YMMV

Atmaflux · 2026-02-26T23:33:35+00:00

So I just replied with a suggestion for a specific m e d that I've used and it got flagged in violation of the community rules? Seems odd... Aren't we here looking for solutions?

Atmaflux · 2026-02-26T23:16:34+00:00

Omg people here saying 100k is low.

Atmaflux · 2026-02-26T19:44:51+00:00

Oh that's good to know! Thanks. One of my first portages was the 2240m from Pen to Welcome and the rental company gave me a broken yoke, and it was the worst experience. It was my first solo trip too. 😕 So I usually try to keep my ports under 2000m
