      It's the Ostrom Winisk. I bought it on a pre-sale deal before they started selling their packs again. It's super tough and comfortable,I'm very happy with it. I added a Barrel Works pack liner to it this year which keeps everything dry inside. Thanks!

      We parked at the east beach so we only had to paddle Lake of Two Rivers before portaging into Provoking. It's not too far, I've even gone in just for the day. The portage in is mostly uphill though.

    • @AleconAdventures
      @AleconAdventures 11 днів тому

      That does sound like a good camping drink. Setting up our Snowtrekker hot tent is pretty quick and we've done it many times now which helps. This was the first trip using the stove pipe support which also saves time. What always takes the most time hot tenting is gathering/processing firewood. Luckily there was lots of dead wood close by. Cheers!
