There ya go!!

Great report... glad your back... see ya soon...

Yup, thats certianly the case... when I go back up Im gonna put the bottom outside the plywood and another strip on the inside to0... steadys the camp up and will make it waterproof..

ya... its there for the kids....

Thats a sweet unit!!!

Oh ya ... huntrings coming... LOL.. we had to go to Kirkland Lake for more supplies... an extra 3 loaves were added to the list... The whole thing took 4 days... (not including the base) one day to get the material in (its an hour round trip to the road) one day for the framing, one day for the roof and the rafters and a day to get the tent one and the fly up.... WE didnt work too too hard each day....

Great report... ah... if your going with the kids... leave your rod at home!! LOL

Holy Crap.... reel.... m.... reel.... always good advice... glad to see you have a great trip.. when trouble happens, sometimes when it rains it pours....

I hunt like misfish.. if its brown its down.. if its black, its on it back. I hunt for meat, not for "trophys" Although I would be lying if I didn't say I hope a big one steps out.. Everything I harvest is a trophy cause they all have there own special stories... big or small. That being said I was on a caribou hunt a few years ago, and my guide was a biologist, who indeed did say the especially with the woodland caribou, cause their racks are smaller anyway, that there has been a tendency over the years for the racks to be gradually decreasing in size, which only make sense to me.... Caribou arnt like deer... hunting wise, they are more like ducks, so bigger rack doesn't mean smarter animal....

Are you looking to do a canoe route or just camp... cedar lake near brent is my favorite spot... good lakers and I caught my PB pickeral there as well.

Oh well... we have our moments as well ... its only strong leadership, strong outdoor ethics, and my good looks that keep us together... lol... welcome aboard. argo for the argonauts .. or the argo 4 wheeler??

LOL Marc... theres no muskie... I wonder... ... the bass 'will eat anything Once you burn the hair off them there not half bad... I have a "trapline" of about 20 traps, The first nite I got 13, the second 11, the third 6 then 3 to four every nite after that... I think Im winning... I have to say, that it was an great accomplishment for us, as a family, to frame the camp and put it up. It took a few days, but was and will be very rewarding for us. Oh.. don't even say stuff like that.... theres strange enough thoughts already going through my head...

Great report.. wow thats one helluva talented boy!!

Thats tough..... just get a long gaf... ,lol

Great report.. ouch... on the vehicle... thats one of those... at least its not me stories...

Let's hear 'em!!

Im a huge trend micro pc cillin fan.. and ive had no problemos... glad they ubergeeks finally figured it out!!

So we went back up to Matachewan for a week, to finish construction of the larger tent, which we have nicknamed the "Great Hall" (LOTR fans will know what were talking about...) Of course when we arrived the ducks were there for thier supper... Avery enjoying the Hammock we put up over the river. Unloading the last load of lumber. Starting to frame the walls more progress... i put 3 coats of high gloss varathane on the floor to give it that hardwood look... lol Jaden and Avery took a break for a pontoon cruise on the river. Then they swam across the river.... lol... the Caribbean may have the dolphins.. but we have swimming with the ducks!! Of course after a swim the whole family is hungry. Back to work to finish the ridge pole and tighten everything up Then it was time to pull the tent over. Even the ducks came up to have a look..... And finally.. with a tug here and a pull there... she rested perfectly on the frame.... phew.... That allowed me to attend to my "trapline" Another nice view. When they made the tent I had them put in a screen across the back for ventilation... my other one gets awful hot in the afternoon.... my one design flaw was where they put the stovepipe hole... ill have to cut it out and frame around it when I put the wood stove in... Time for chicken wings!!!! Got the dish set up... Watched a bit of TV on a rainy nite.... and its time to pack up and come home! This big bugger tried to eat the kids on the way out!! All in all it was a great week... we didn't get too much fishing in... were going back up for a few more days before the end of the month.. I promised the kids (and Monique) that all their hard work would be rewarded with some real R & R!!

Atta boy Cliff!!

Thats very sad,, my condollences...

THats just awesome!!! congrats!!

That would be the infamous... Canadave...one of the originl board members from the early '60s

WE go along way back... unfortunatley due to the current censorship, liable and slander laws... we had to ban him.... lol

Like rick said... were having our hosts look into some of the problemos.. its been up and down and all around for me as well... one of the problems with success I guess.....

Marc.... I thought I taught you last year how to catch the BIG ones... I can't believe you charge people for those minnows... geeezzzz.. how embarrassing...
