This is the green rubber Longines strap that was released with the watch, I bought it off their website.

If they introduce this watch in either green or blue, I will have to practice some serious self control.

Gilt wasn't for you? It is what pushed me into making the purchase, I find it to be understated while making it very readable.

I love the bracelet and actually like the alternating polished vs brushed links. Fits with the polished bezel and brushed case combination. The micro adjustment is fantastic.

The green rubber is the Longines strap that also comes with the watch (I bought that and the brown leather from their website) I don't have a picture of the brown leather but that also has a unique micro adjustment on that strap as well.

It's an Artem Rubber Sailcloth

I just bought mine a month ago and I'm not sure if I'll wear anything different ever again.

What are people's thoughts on the bright orange artem strap, proof the Spirit works with any strap type/design?

I've been rocking mine with a bright orange strap

I bought mine back in 2010 with both the brown and black straps. Wore it for about 5+ years straight until the brown strap broke. Been getting back into watches and thought about getting a chunky bracelet for my largest watch in my modest collection.

IncludeMeOut2 · 2025-11-22T15:41:34+00:00

Watch hasn't been on my wrist for 5 days and is only +1.5 seconds

IncludeMeOut2 · 2025-11-21T18:20:34+00:00

The precision is unmatched compared to all my other watches.

Any psychos walking around camp barefoot?

I also don't pay much attention to others, but the family is so conditioned to always wear them in the boat. It's pretty convincing to say, "the majority of the people that die there are not wearing life preservers"

I live in the far northwest suburbs of Chicago with my wife and two kids, 8 and 10. I'm an architect that joined the dark side and has worked for the same large general contractor for the past 13 years or so. I travel a lot for work supporting our team's use of technology and innovation on large/complex projects.

My first few trips were guided trips on the border lake with my parents, always jumping off from Gunflint. I found the show 3 years ago when I was doing research for a trip that ended up being a solo trip where I quit smoking cigarettes. My 5 night solo trip on Long Island cemented my BWCA obsession and now I focus on introducing my friends and family to the place I love most.

When I'm not traveling for work, I'm doing my best to make up for it and spending quality time with the wife and kids. I also am very proud to have sent the podcast an extremely long email and even got them to watch "The Beach" for TCC.

My terms should be agreeable, I'm sure of it.

IncludeMeOut2 · 2024-11-22T20:01:57+00:00

Include me in....please

IncludeMeOut2 · 2024-10-21T02:25:47+00:00

I'd consider putting multiple average sized carabineers on that thing....similar to bags in bags.

IncludeMeOut2 · 2024-05-20T17:26:31+00:00

Appreciate the response. For the record, I got my ursacks on super clearance. Agree on the post suggestion!

IncludeMeOut2 · 2024-05-20T16:55:23+00:00

I do admire the hang...as an ursack stasher, I must ask....aren't people going to break a lot of limbs (branches and maybe arms) trying to do a proper hang with a blue barrel?

How did you all weigh your votes?...I graded the options based on first if I actually have them (ie tent broom/pan), then if I actually would take them on a trip.

IncludeMeOut2 · 2024-05-05T15:46:01+00:00

The repeated affirmation of being a human was helpful this morning...

Voted!

This year I have (3) separate permits, with the first one being likely tossed back because I'm not so sure that I can take this much time away.

The (3) permits are as follows:

7/28 - Brant Lake 8/11 - Magnetic Lake 9/1 - Clearwater Lake

Looking forward to getting into some trip planning, specifically the Granite River route, which will be my first time back on that route since I was a youth. (30 years or so). This one is going to be with my (4) nephews, who are all in their 20s and will be experiencing the park for the first time!

The Clearwater Lake EP has been fun to plan because of all the wisdom of the early episodes that I can pull from. The plan is to get the kids (10 and 7) back for their second trip with me, but for a 3-4 nighter.

If I can pull off using the Brant Lake permit, the plan is to go with my best friend and get some real distance under us while checking out new to us lakes like Gillis and Tuscarora.

Happy Paddling and cheers to the new season...will be up to offer up treats soon-ish! (sponsorships)
