I work in the woods and I always carry a Garmin 64st GPS, extra batteries, a compass, and a map/ aerial photo. My phone rarely has service when I'm out but I haven't tried any GPS apps. Rite in the Rain is great waterproof paper but it only works with certain kinds of printers (they also make...

I live and work in the woods in northern Wisconsin, wolves have naturally re-established themselves here. There is so much conflict right now, it is ridiculous. Most people in Wisco are worried about wolves killing deer, because deer hunting is a major sport, recreation, and economic benefit...

Seward is the first place I've been to in AK, aside from Anchorage... So beautiful, everyone should go! There are more than a few cabins to rent in Resurrection Bay. @Ben I think you showed Exit Glacier in a previous post, what really got to me was the signs showing where the glacier was in...

Umm not into scrapbooking and whatknot... but coming around to some photo books. For outdoor writing, there is nothing better than rite in the rain notebooks. They're already on waterproof paper. Maybe not the most stylish but they work.

Well I don't have any insight on the MSR snowshoes, but I do have at least another brand for you to consider. Last year I got a pair of Northern Lites brand snowshoes, 25" Backcountry model. At first I was skeptical, as I was using 30" tubbs. They are incredibly light, about a pound lighter...

I recently found a new pod cast to listen to called Dirtbag Diaries, all about outdoor adventures. They have an older episode that talked about a movie called "23 feet" apparently it's all about living the dream on the road in a trailer or RV

All of that damage is very disturbing. Not trying to defend anyone, especially the government; but our federal land managers really do lack the resources to enforce the laws. I am 2000 miles away in Wisconsin and we have problems with ATVs on closed trails/ roads. Even if a violation is called...

Awesome trip! My girlfriend was an ER nurse in the hospital in Seward it is a beautiful place. Definitely one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Everyone should make a trip to AK at least once i their lifetime.

Once while in a recreation class at an unnamed college in Gunnison, CO... I intentionally brought a small grill, corn on the cob, steaks, and whiskey on a 3 mile backpack trip meant to teach beginners the basics of camping light and eating couscous. I got a C for that exercise because I didn't...

Hiking without clothes doesn't interest me in the least, mostly because I like the little extra protection from getting scraped up. I have been on many river trips down Westwater and Dinosaur where seeing a naked person on another boat is pretty much guaranteed. I say if that's your thing go...

Here is the real Otis doing some dock jumping And maybe this one will make you think he's a hunter but no, it's just a stick And for good measure... Laser beam eyes to keep us all safe...(by no means a political or race or religious post) just a cool pic and a crappy trailer I lived in.

I've seen some over-the-car garage storage systems for kayaks or similar to the fishing one in Mike K's pics that use pulley systems. Pretty sweet, easy to get to stuff and to load stuff. Just takes a little ingenuity and some parts from the hardware store. There might be a little...

Some red pines on the shore of Lake Superior. It's really the little white birch that I enjoy, little guy has some tenacity trying to grow there.

Apostle Islands National Lakeshore - 2/28/15 So the ice caves were open again for the second year in a row, which I understand to be relatively rare considering before last year they hadn't been open for 5 years. It is an area I've wanted to check out, so when the opportunity came I jumped on...

Opi, I'm in Stevens Point. I'd love to explore more of the state. Since I moved back a couple years ago, I haven't gotten out as much as I'd like. I'm outside all the time but not enough camping. I've got a boat also, looking forward to some boat camping this summer.

Great pics, the one of your daughter in the creek is my favorite. That pic pretty much sums up how I feel everytime I go out adventuring

We all knew it was crazy, but we were prepared with lots of warm clothes. I grew up in this area and I work outside doing forest management so I'm used to being outside below zero. It was one of those trips that I'm glad I did but not wanting to repeat anytime soon. I think that the only way...

I've checked this site out for awhile now, and figured it was time to finally post a little trip report. This is from the Sylvania Wilderness Area in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan on Feb. 19. I used to live in Gunnison, CO and St. George, now that I'm back in Wisco, I find the need to do...
