Looking to share a trip... (Read 10482 times)

	Hey QJ, I am shamelessly advertising for a tripping partner. What was a 4-man effort is now done to one as of this morning. I am looking to enter Quetico from the north, and do a loop of some sort. My original plan was 20May - 30May, but I am flexible. I have enough gear to completely outfit two people including kevlar, paddles, and your own solo tent. I have been tripping QPP for about 10 seasons, so I definitely have favorite places to visit, but I am open to suggestions. If anyone on the board knows of someone dying to do a spring-ish trip to QPP, or might have an opening on something in the works, please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks, --paw (pawnipi_AT_gmail.com) Mod note: _AT_ = @

	Hey Paw, I know that the BWCA isn't exactly the Quetico....but we are going that week of May 20th and we need a 4th guy. I laid out my usual program in the post below, and am sure you have already read it...and I guess weren't interested. I think we would be flexible to moving around more or trying someplace else in the BWCA, if you had a suggestion, but our entry permit is for Moose Lake on the 20th. We are still looking for a 4th, and you seem to be looking for a trip. Perhaps you'd reconsider what we are planning as better than either no trip at all, or a solo trip into the Q. What do you think? Dwight

	I'm going in at EP16 from 6/6 to 6/13 with a partner but due to the long drive (I live in Tennessee) I want to stay a bit longer. If anyone wants to begin on 6/15ish, I'm game.

	Hey paw, Why not just go ahead and do a solo? My first trip into the BW/Q was a 10 day solo trip from Beaverhouse to Lac La Croix. No debate on how fast, when to stop, when to start, etc. It was great! Just a thought. CK

	I'm also looking to go this year but don't have a permit or trip planned. I do have all my own gear and a potenial fishing buddy to go with, however he is not as experienced in a canoe and I'm wondering if it is best to do a "safe" trip before heading into the vastness of the Park. For this situation, it might be nice to do a trip with two canoes, 4 people.

	Welcome Kenny B I think your gut is giving you good advice BETTER, a more "civilized" trip with someone you're not sure about, than to get in to deep and realize you have to take care of yourself and your paddling partner?? The 2 canoe's and 4 guy's is a good idea as well if 2 of you are somewhat experienced and can watch the "rookies" Its also a confidence builder for your buddy, why get him in over his head and feeling like he's not carrying his weight, when a milder trip will sharpen his skills without putting a burden on you More than one potential paddler has been turned off by being included in a trip that was way over there heads!! People do it to there kids and there friends not realizing that for some, a "wilderness" trip can be a exciting but scary time especially if they have limited experience Maybe go just deep enough to wet his appetite but not so far you can't get out easily if the situation turns sour??
