    Another Sleeping Pad question.

    I have heard the neoair's are noisy, have you found this to be true? I will look up the other mat. Thanks for the suggestions!

    Another Sleeping Pad question.

    Thanks for the link to your review, and I will look up Paco as well. It's not a commercially guided trip, all self supported.

    Another Sleeping Pad question.

    So this year I'm taking my best friends mom on a river trip. We have most of the gear for her, minus a good sleeping pad. I'm a BA fan, but I wanted to see what other suggestions there are for a 60+ woman who hasn't been camping in years. I have looked at the Exped MegaMat, any feedback on that...

    2018 River Permits

    that's weird. It shows pending still for both me and my boyfriend. I greatly dislike this new website/system they went with and I'm guessing it has a huge glitch somewhere.

    2018 River Permits

    So on the left there is a menu, click on "view my info" then another menu shows up in the middle. Click on drawing results. That's where it would show. Last year the results where up this time-ish to early afternoon, if I remember correctly

    You have to create a user name and password now. So from https://myfwp.mt.gov/fwpExtPortal/login/login.jsp click "Create New User" Then fill out the form, click create. When the form resets, go to your email and do the confirmation click (you can't log into the FWP site until this step is done)

    Floating Smith River in Montana

    I believe "prime" is May/June as it will most likely have the best water. I've gone in mid July. One year it was great, another it sucked. Lol. It's all a gamble based on snowpack and how fast it comes out in the spring. Putting in tonight, the basin report came out and so far it's looking...

    I will put in again. Just not sure of dates yet. Waiting for January's basin report to be released (early February) before I do. Would like to go in better water, but really enjoy being lazy and not having to do it in 4 nights. Only me and the stepdaughter this year lol.

    Floating Smith River in Montana

    Not really. We are in single man pontoon boats and they require a lot less water. Last year we launched around 110 CFS, didn't "drag" at all unless the individual person mis-read the flow of the river (and then it usually wasn't more then 2-3 feet). The party before us was something like 6-8...

    Well we are a week out from launch. Flows are low, and fishing has been restricted to hoot owl hours. Our group numbers are dropping fast, so I do have a few open spots on a family friendly trip.

    I think it's a random lottery. Your stuff comes in get some sort of number and then numbers are drawn. I don't (and wouldn't) think they pay attention to in state vs. out of state. But I could be wrong too. But we did draw a permit in our "party", we might have space. But..... It's a later...
