Sounds great to me.  8-) Been to most of those lakes, nice areas and plenty of dandy campsites as well. I did a 21-day solo a few years back and found the limit to how much food I could haul was about that amount of time. I don't pack light food wise so if I wanted to go to all freeze dried I could go longer, but I like to eat well so 3 weeks would be about right for just me. That extra paddler/portager really extends your range. It should a trip you'll both remember for a lifetime.

Will double carry, so will have two large packs and one slightly smaller one. The kid carried a 50 pound pack this year in Algonquin so I know he can do it. (he's a trooper for being only 11).   

I've done a number of really long solo trips up to 4 months in my younger days and never had to resupply my food. Although my diet was admittedly spartan with a heavy emphasis on fish. 

I don't imagine we'll eat like kings on this trip, but we're not going to starve. 

I vividly remember literally craving fat on one of my really long trips in the Wabakimi region years back. I remember coming upon a vacant fly in outpost on around day 60 and inside I found a 1 liter bottle of vegetable oil. I opened the cap and took a small sip. It tasted so good I immediately guzzled back the entire bottle. Could feel the life flowing back into my body LOL!

When I think about that now I can only shudder.   :P
