KF, See you guys Sat evening.
JJS + 1

If I remember I'll bring some old Che-mun journals along for you and Jimbo. It's Arctic tripping stuff.
I'm moving and doing some purging.

Purging some old BWJ (2000-current) and In-Fisherman mags too. Let me know if anyone's interested. Better than sending to the re-cycler.

Of course this is very much a matter of perspective & personal taste.  When I attended presentations at all in recent years, I mostly headed to those dealing with places I intended to visit in the near future (example: presentations led by Supt. Doug Gilmore and/or Martin Kehoe re: Woodland Caribou Park).  These are great opportunities to get first-hand information.  Otherwise, a first-timer would do well to catch either Cliff Jacobsen or Kevin Callan; they're presentations are of dependable quality and generally most-talked-about (though I haven't attended either in years).  A newbie fisherperson in the park might want to sit in on Captain Redbeard's show, I suppose.  If cooking or photography is your thing, there are some decent offerings there, too.

Perhaps if you mentioned a few particular interests of yours, those with Copia experience could make better-fitting recommendations for you.

Presentations I have attended have mostly been of fairly decent & standard quality but personal interest most often dictates what I typically find particularly enjoyable.

Good luck!

Jimbo   Cool

I appreciate the response. I'm primarily hoping to learn a bit more about efficient tripping and camping. High tech stuff does'nt really interest me much. Ideas on how,where,and when are what I'm looking for. I'm not new to camping,but canoe tripping is still a whole new world to me. I've been on half a dozen or so BWCA triips and am learning that there's a whole nother world up there. To be able to meet the challenges more comfortably,safely,and satisfingly are goals of mine. To be able to share some of the beauty with friends and family is as important as getting off by myself. Fishing is secondary,but that's just because I've had so little success. I like the simple primitive stuff. I used to be into black powder and still travel by motorcycle when I can.

If you can join us for lunch and/or dinner, you may learn more from some chit-chat with us than in most seminars. Bring your maps if you have them, some of us may show you places you'll never read about on the site.

Welcome to QJ! Cool

I would suggest you check out Cliff Jacobson. He has so much practical information that you should check out his books also. Forty-five minutes will only give you a hint of what he has to share.

Hey,thanks for the kind welcome,Old Salt...and thanks for the suggestions,Marten and Jimbo. Who is Kevin Callen?         I've practically memorized all three of Cliff Jacobon's books, as well as, Beymer's,Pauly,Furtman,the Buckleys, and the BWJ since '04. I have the bug. I appreciate the guidance. Maybe circomstance and time will allow me to get over and meet some of you folks. I,d like that.

Regarding Kevin Callan, he has a really good read on Q and other ontario parks with respects to paddling and I believe he is a regular writer for Explorer - Canada's outdoor mag. You can read more on (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

That's my 2 cents and sorry for butting in... Grin
