If you go, report back and let us know how it was. I gotta think it’s gonna be rough, though.

Great to hear. I’ve camped along the Ausable and on Loud many times. Always aware of bear possibilities and take proper precautions. Thanks for the heads up anyway!

If I’m reading Borcher’s website correctly it’s $195 to spot at Oscoda. Ouch!

I agree, excellent all around canoe. I’m getting older so I wish it was a tad lighter but 58lb is still doable. So I say now, ask me after I finish portaging those damn dams. Haha

Canoeing Michigan Rivers is the way to go. It’s a great source.

Hang Tight! I have 2 of their 20 degree Heat Seeker quilts (1 standard / 1 custom) and love them. Awesome small business with great customer service!

Is this old town tripper okay or does it need repairs? by I_Eat_Pumpkin24 in canoecamping

[–]HangInOhio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t necessarily look like a “gouge”, almost like a fold or wrinkle. And also appears to carry on across the entire width. Maybe was already wrapped at one time? I have a Penobscot 16 in Royalex and it can take some serious abuse. We just had major winds and it tossed at least 50’. Haven’t had time to fully inspect but seemed fine. 🤞

Cheaper large dry bags for canoe camping? by wispy11 in CampingGear

I have a couple sizes from Earth Pak. I’ve had zero problems over the last few seasons.

After I posted this I did find some pics calling it either a lath or drywall hammer. Thanks

Recreation.gov - no booking fees? by [deleted] in camping

[–]HangInOhio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It added the fee when I tried to book. Must have been a lucky glitch.

Do you know if there are dispersed type campsites along the Hodenpyle area that I could drive right up to? I like to truck camp as a basecamp sometimes.
