Tim,

Ooooh, I forgot THAT was the way you went in... yes, indeed, reports indicate that route is pretty rugged!  I think it was Mad_Mat, Stumpy, & a few others who told me of their exploits on that "alleged" portage.

I guess I'd have to put my "shortcut" into Cache Lake in the category of these escapades, too.  Rather than complete the 2.5 miler from the north down to Cache Lake, my brother & I jumped on the stream at the 1 mile marker, hoping to "float" the rest of the way to Cache.   WRONG!!!!  Not the best idea I ever came up with.   In short, me & the swamp became much better acquainted than I ever desired.  It became a "teachable moment" for me (ie.  "DON'T MESS WITH MOTHER NATURE, YOU IDIOT!  TAKE THE PORTAGE PATH NEXT TIME FOOL!").

Later,

Jimbo   Cool

FYI:

If you have a NetFlex subscription, you can view the entire Survivorman series on-line via your computer.  (Or have you already seen every episode on Discovery Channel a dozen times?)

I forgot to mention that you can also stream videos directly to your TV set ... mine runs through my WII box via a wireless internet connection.

XBox now has a Netflix chanel too.

Also, similar to Stroud is a UK guy, Ray Mears - Bushcraft.
+ Dick Proenneke - Alone in the Wilderness
I hear Snowshoes & Solitude by Stroud is also good.
