Well, on this site, an inukshuk is a monetary contributor.  (The amount of money is modest, but does help to defray the cost of keeping this site operational.)  But relative to OS's statement, there is a current thread running in the Inukshuk Forum (which you can't see unless you are an Inukshuk) about potential changes in Quetico operations based on their currently circulating management plan proposal.

There are a variety of other benefits of being an inukshuk ... but that's another story.  You can learn more by following (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) link.

In my experience, the Inuks who donate to return the favor tend to be more satisfied than those who donated with specific expectations. You can access far more posts etc., and there is a semi recent post about pricing with variables that affect perception but your investment won't change the price. I just wanted to be clear on that.

Awe crap, too late. Hey, welcome aboard!

If you are solo, you can take whatever you want.

If you are going with a partner, that should require some teamwork as to how much you want to bring combined - if you each have a "personal" pack that you alone are responsible for carrying across the portage, pack whatever - but if your personal stuff winds up in a group pack that you may take turns carrying, then you should coordinate what you bring (big difference in what a 5'4" 140 pounder can carry comfortable vs a 6'2" 180 pound weightlifter).   Likewise, if you go with two canoes, and you bring twice as much gear as the other group, and take twice as long to portage, then you will be screwing that other group - so you need to know what "the plan" is - should you be planning to single carry all the portages ?  make two trips ? 3 or more, who cares, we've got all the time in the world?
