Bagpipes, too heavy to carry! What do bagpipes weigh? I haven't a clue.

Ah, but there is no substitute for the pipes when you are in bear territory (and they're pretty good repelling skeeters, too)!  Your cone of sonic protection from such critters is small price to pay at twice the weight!  

The pipes are even better re: repelling people!  Talk about solitude?!   Play the pipes a couple evenings in a row & there won't be anybody around for two, maybe three lakes... guaranteed!

And, if you can't purchase pipes, just stop by your local hog farm on your way up north & snatch up a porker.  Pig strangling has about the same effect out in the wild.  Just try it sometime.  It's a surefire remedy to ensure peace & solitude at your next campsite.

Jimbo   Cool

P.S.  This has been a joint message from the National Council of Pork Producers & McFarland's Kith & Kin Kilt Korner (market leaders in sonic pest control).

...a group paddling by stopped and asked if you were leaving that day?  And if you were, could they leave a pack there while you pack up?

I wouldn't mind telling them when I'd probably be pulling out but no on the pack. I might get confused and take it with me accidently on purpose. I'd tell the next group that asked the same thing unless I liked you better. No saves.

I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking that a single pack was forgotten, grab it and take it to the portage I headed for. I've done that. "Hey, did you forget something?" I'd probably leave it at the portage if anyone ever said no. I figure they already had the opportunity if it wasn't theirs.

So, Jimbo...I assume you play the pig the same way the bagpipes are played. Tuck it under your arm and squeeze. I can imagine some secondary effects to the squeal.

I was wondering the same thing and where do you blow in to one of them. Jim needs to explain how this is done.

Our man Jimbo has some serious explaining to do. And I'm getting ready to finalize my check list for this spring. If I'm going to coach my rookie companion, I need details! I'm willing to learn, but I've never done this.

It was mentioned about fishing in front of a occupied campsite or trolling by, interrupting others solitude or shore fishing.


Depends on whether you ar stationary or trolling.  No problem passing by, even slowly, passing by people is a normal experience.  Staying put (depending on how close) is rude.

Kiss a frog and you get a prince.

Strangle a pig and you get solitude, a pest-free environment, & breakfast.

Take your pick.
