Cool!  I'll give it a shot-

Where do you live? Northwestern Ontario
Approximate number of previous nights spent canoe camping? 150+

Preferred/Typical party size? usually 2, up to 8- the more the merrier!
What length of trips do you do/available to do? 4-10
Preferred season? open water
What % of the trip do you travel/base camp? depends on the mood
What difficulty level do you go for? challenging, but not killer- still haven't had the guts for Bonhomme-Sauvage yet!
What area of the park are you most familiar with and do you want to spend time there or explore new areas? pretty well all of it- would like to spend more time in the south-central area- usually go in from N or W

Paddling
Bow or stern preference? bow, with a distinct penchant for telling the sternsman he's off course:)
What is your paddling rhythm? in my head- automatic, really.
Paddle the shoreline or beeline? both, depending on the mood
How nasty of water are you comfortable paddling in? pretty nasty- the nastier the better! I get a sick thrill from scaring my sternman in big waves:)
Do you have strong navigation/map skills? yes.  never been lost, never intend to be.  If you don't know your way around a map and compass (GPS does NOT count) you shouldn't be allowed out in the woods.

Portaging
Do you usually single/double/triple/or? portage? double, always with the intention of doing it in a single- where do all those packs come from??
Do you carry everything on your back, or alot of hand carry? mostly on my back, paddles in hand, camera at the ready

How well do you handle the boot sucking bogs? try to plan my trip to hit these in hot, dry weather to avoid said boot-sucking

Camping Style
Would you rather cook or wash the dishes? definitely cook- I'm known for my avoidance of dishes- would rather do any camp chore than do dishes (that said, I still end up doing my fair share!)
Fresh or dried foods? combo- first few days fresh, then start to dig into dried.
Cook over a fire, or over a stove? stove- try to be light on the land- esp in areas with lots of traffic
Cook breakfast or breakfast bars? depends on the mood
How many fish meals do you like to have during a trip? a few- don't usually hyave much luck for walleye though- I'm not a great fisherman, and I think my sternsman gives off walleye repellant!
Hang the food pack or ground it? ground, far from camp, and not between my tent and the canoe (ie escape route)  never had a bear problem yet!
Axe? Saw? Both? both
Sit around campfire all night OR wake at crack of dawn? (or both) definitely sit around the campfire all night- where else do you get views of the stars like that  (4 years in a row was in Quetico for the peak of the Perseids- incredible!)
On a travel day, what time do you like to hit the water? 8-9ish- my trips are pretty relaxed, schedule wise.  that said, I'm not a slow paddler:)

If we've got a problem, would you rather discuss it or bury it? discuss
Other than illness or injury what events or conditions would make you want to quit a trip early and head home? nothing really- its an adventure, and I love adventure!

Basics
Where do you live?
 Toronto - don't hate me for it
Approximate number of previous nights spent canoe camping?
 200+ over 20 years
Do you have the gear or use an outfitterer?
 Completely self-sufficient, but there's always gear to be bought.
Preferred/Typical party size?
 No preference so long as I'm going.  I usually organise trips and buddies are always welcome to join if they want to, logistics permitting.
What length of trips do you do/available to do?
 At least one week long trip a year.  At least a weekend each month from ice-out to ice-up.  These days about 20 nights a year.
Preferred season?
 Early spring, before blackflies.  When the trout are on.
What % of the trip do you travel/base camp?
 A rest day every 3rd day is planned for week long trips.  Anything 4 days or less is base camp.
What difficulty level do you go for?
 Solo I plan for 10-15km/travel day.  Tandem 15-20.
What area of the park are you most familiar with and do you want to spend time there or explore new areas?
 Totally new to Quetico.  Been all over APP & some Temagami & Crown Land.

Paddling
Bow or stern preference?
 Stern, but flexible.  Being heavy-set, and a solo paddler, and never having a paddling partner in my weight class able to stern I usually get put in the stern for various reasons.
 Recently learned a whitewater term, Fat Man Bails.
What is your paddling rhythm?
 Depends on the day, my mood, sleep, aches & pains.  My strokes are too long and I know it.
Paddle the shoreline or beeline?
 Depends on the distance for the day and the conditions.  Not afraid of open water, not stupid about it either.
How nasty of water are you comfortable paddling in?
 Solo about 1.5' of chop.  Tandem with the right bowman, I'll try anything.
Do you have strong navigation/map skills?
 Decent sense of direction.  Not the best map/compass skills.  Any tromping around is done with a gps waypoint on camp and breadcrumbs as I go.

Portaging
Do you usually single/double/triple/or? portage?
 Double pretty much always.  I like the walk back, it's when I get to see things.
Do you carry everything on your back, or alot of hand carry?
 Mostly on the back. I really like to keep at least 1 hand free.
How well do you handle the mountain goat portages?
 My knees are getting tired. Don't mind some, but don't want to spend a whole trip on them.
How well do you handle the boot sucking bogs?
 As long as I can touch bottom... whew.

Camping Style
Would you rather cook or wash the dishes?
 Cook.  Too lazy after dinner to wash dishes.  A big fan of eating out of the pot.
Fresh or dried foods?
 I do my own dehydrating for most trips.
 First day is usually something fresh over the fire.  Ribs or wings or hot dogs or...
Cook over a fire, or over a stove?
 Stove.
 Some recipies demand a fire.  Grilled burritos, the aforementioned ribs/wings/saussages.
 If a fire is on, there's usually a pot on too for coffee/tea/washing/drinking.
Cook breakfast or breakfast bars?
 Sick and freaking tired of oatmeal.  Looking for alternatives.  Beans & rice is good.
How many fish meals do you like to have during a trip?
 As many as possible.  Fresh fish is the best!
Hang the food pack or ground it?
 Hang.  I'm more worried about little critters than I am worried about bears.  I like to throw rope.
Axe? Saw? Both?
 8" pruning saw.
 My knife has a full tang is great for batoning wood.  I don't need 5# of pig iron weighing me down.
Sit around campfire all night OR wake at crack of dawn? (or both)
 Both.  Nothing like falling asleep in front of the caveman TV and waking up to dawn light and songbirds.
On a travel day, what time do you like to hit the water?
 On the water by 10am though night-owl partners often ruin these plans and it's the crack of noon before we're loaded.
 I hate travelling in the heat of the day.
 I have set an alarm for big water crossings.

Fishing
How much time do you like to spend fishing?
 As much as possible.  Fishing is 30% of why I'm out there.  
Which species do you like to go after?
 Favourite is brook trout followed closely by whatever's biting my lure.
 Summer flipping for bass while lazily floating from structure to structure.
How much tackle to you bring?
 1 rod/reel.  Typically 8# test.
 12-24 various lures.  A couple packs of stinky rubber worms, I like purple.
Are you good with a fillet knife?
 Gut 'em scale 'em and cook 'em!  Trout have no scales to worry about.
 I should be better with a knife, I have formal cooking training.

Misc
Do you have any medical conditions to be considered?
 Nope.
Level of alcohol consumption?
 Not a drinker, but I can be if the situation calls for it.
Is photography high on your list?
 Oh yes!  Bummed that my camera broke.  Can't decide on what to replace it with.
Do you like to go after pictographs?
 I'm keen to see some, never have.
Do you like to go after waterfalls?
 Yeah, waterfalls & rapids are awesome.  I do not like to sleep next to them.
Do you like to go after the northern lights?
 I haven't caught lights for decades. It's high on the priority list.

Personality
If the bugs are bad, will it ruin the trip for you?
 Sucks, but what are you gonna do?
What weather conditions are difficult for you to deal with?
 Wind sucks.
If we've got a problem, would you rather discuss it or bury it?
 First discuss it... then I will bury you. LOL
Other than illness or injury what events or conditions would make you want to quit a trip early and head home?
 Mood.  I've been out there and after a few days simply felt like going home.  Packed up, went home.  It's my vacation.  If I don't want to be there then I should go somewhere I want to be.

How much tackle to you bring?  Usually too much.  My call would be to bring less food and more tackle, although my companions don't usually like that strategy!

Inukshuk Profile

Basics 
Where do you live? I live full time in an RV (40’ motor home) so wherever the RV is sitting when the sun goes down is home. Winter in Florida typically. Summer of 2018 will be split between Gunflint Trail (mid-June to mid-July) and Ely from mid-July to approximately November 1st.

Approximate number of previous nights spent canoe camping?
50+ but not for a few years. Last trip was a 4 day solo kayak the length of the AuSable river in Michigan. I was in the Army for 20 years, I am used to camping.

Do you have the gear or use an outfitter? At this time, fall of 2017, I have some gear. I will have all my own personal gear by spring of 2018. Do not have a canoe, plan on renting. I am fine with renting any and all gear appropriate for a fun, safe and enjoyable experience. Already have SPOT, GPS, etc.

Preferred/Typical party size?  4 or less
What length of trips do you do/available to do? Overnight to 14 days.
Preferred season? Summer and Fall
What % of the trip do you travel/base camp? Mixed - if the fish are biting why leave? 
What difficulty level do you go for?
Whatever it takes to get to where I want to go. I am 64 but and it sometimes takes me a minute but I am a ‘never quit’ kind of guy. Prefer to do things in a steady manner but not afraid to do a major project. Ideally, I would like to start out with a 1 – 5 day trip in late June or early July from Gunflint and work up to a 5 – 10 day trip. I will be in Ely mid-July until approximately 1 November.
What area of the park are you most familiar with and do you want to spend time there or explore new areas? It’s new area to me. I am open to suggestions.   

Paddling 
Bow or stern preference?
I tend to prefer the stern but typically defer to experience. If the person I am with knows more about it then they get to pick. 
What is your paddling rhythm? Steady wins the race. I tend to paddle the same pace all day and don’t try to kill myself.
Paddle the shoreline or beeline? Both. I have been on big water in bad weather.
How nasty of water are you comfortable paddling in? I'm not a risk taker-in cold weather/water. I prefer a ‘wait it out’ style. This is an activity being done for fun. Why endanger yourself unless there is an emergency?  I am not afraid of nasty water, I just prefer to make the best choice depending on the conditions.
Do you have strong navigation/map skills? Exceptional skills. Very experienced at Land navigation.

Portaging 
Do you usually single/double/triple/or? portage?
Have not done a lot of portaging.
Do you carry everything on your back, or a lot of hand carry?
I tend to have one single pack with everything in it. 
How well do you handle the mountain goat portages?
If I can go at my pace, I expect I will be fine. Again, not all that experienced at it so not wanting to promise something I can’t deliver.
How well do you handle the boot sucking bogs? You can always wash everything. You do what you need to do.

Camping Style 
Would you rather cook or wash the dishes? Either. I believe in doing my fair share and a bit more. If both people do that, things usually work out fine. I am comfortable cooking and cleaning is fine also.

Fresh or dried foods? I’m flexible. I typically go with freeze just for convenience since I am fairly cost indifferent.
Cook over a fire, or over a stove?
Fish on the fire. All else stove.  I am open to suggestions and comfortable either way.
Cook breakfast or breakfast bars? Boil water for a freeze-dried meal or oatmeal, some fruit, maybe a power bar or something. Coffee in the morning is a requirement!

How many fish meals do you like to have during a trip?
I can eat fish a lot of meals.   
Hang the food pack or ground it?
Hang seems to be the recommended method.   
Axe? Saw? Both? Saw only is what I have read as the best choice.
Sit around campfire all night OR wake at crack of dawn? (or both) Evening meal clean up, set gear for the morning, a few minutes watching the fire and call it a night.
On a travel day, what time do you like to hit the water?
Up early, coffee, eat, crap, clean. Rather spend the time fishing than laze around camp in the morning. Also up for *early* wake up, go fish, come back for a late breakfast/early lunch. 

Fishing 
How much time do you like to spend fishing? I want time in the BWCA/Quietco for two reasons: Fishing and being outside. I fly fish avidly. That doesn’t mean I have to fish every minute of every trip but I doubt I’d go on a trip without a fly rod unless it was a quick 1 or 2 day ‘out and back’ to see something specific.

Which species do you like to go after? Normally I am a ‘catch and release’ only type of guy. In the BWCA I am a ‘catch and filet’ kind of guy. Not all that fussy about species.   
How much tackle do you bring?
2 rods/reels and a couple of fly boxes.
Are you good with a fillet knife? Oh my yes.
Misc 
Do you have any medical conditions to be considered? I am 64 and a Type II diabetic. It is easily controlled with meds. I take pills in the AM and PM. Never had any problem with it, never stopped me from doing anything. Would have no qualms about a 14 solo trip.
Level of alcohol consumption?  If I took a 6 pack on a 10 day trip I would return with 5 beers. 
Smoker? Yes and I try and be considerate about it. I step away from common areas. I do NOT discard butts. I pack them out. 
Is photography high on your list? Somewhat. I have some DSLR gear I would like to take after getting a few trips under my belt. I would consider doing a photo trip and skipping fishing. I’m flexible about this.

Do you like to go after pictographs?  I will certainly check them out if I'm in the area. 
Do you like to go after waterfalls?  I am flexible 
Do you like to go after the northern lights? 
Seen them. I would wake up to view them. I am also OK with ‘if we see them, we see them. If not, that’s OK also’ style. 

Personality 
If the bugs are bad, will it ruin the trip for you?
Bug spray solves that issue.   
What weather conditions are difficult for you to deal with? Sudden violent thunderstorms. I tend to err on the side of caution about seeking shelter on land instead of racing a squall to the shore. That doesn’t mean I paddle for the beach every time the wind blows, it just means I’ve been caught out enough to be alert. Riding a storm out on land doesn’t bother me. Getting wet is just part of the experience. I like the German attitude of “There is no bad weather, just inappropriate clothing”.


If we've got a problem, would you rather discuss it or bury it?
Discuss it. I doubt much could come up that could not be worked out.
Other than illness or injury what events or conditions would make you want to quit a trip early and head home?  Hmm …. That’s a puzzler. Probably not much. Maybe a paddling companion that doesn’t respect the environment or repeatedly does dangerous things like try and pet a bear.  I’m pretty flexible so I’m not sure of what might be bad enough to cause me to pull the plug on a trip. Certainly not typical events like wet, cold, wind, rain or such. Maybe a major wildfire? I haven’t really thought this one out. 
ADDED BY ME:
Additional info: Spending time in the BWCA and Quetico areas appeals to me on a deep level. Going solo doesn’t bother me but the wife is not happy about such an idea and a 2-person trip is usually more enjoyable. The first thing I think of is taking turns paddling while the other guy fishes. At age 64, I am retired, an experienced outdoorsman and frequently described as a ‘handy guy to have around”. I am a very experienced fly fisherman.

The money for food and renting gear, tows, drop offs, etc. doesn’t concern me much. I’m not looking for a full-blown guide. I am however looking for someone with experience and my budget allows for me to cover, within reason, whatever expenses occur. I understand some folks are on tight budgets. Maybe there is someone who has experience and time but is limited by budget. A situation like that could benefit both of us. They get to do more and/or longer trips than they would normally and I get someone to go with. Again, going solo doesn’t bother me but I’d rather go with someone.  Just trying to make it as much fun and as safe as possible. Maybe some young flat belly with time who wants to go but must watch pennies. Maybe some experienced old fart that realizes his budget for a 3-day trip can turn into a 10-day trip if we go together. I’m flexible and I am going. Maybe we should talk?
