The wilderness is my home for a good part of the year, therefore my equipment has to be the finest. I prefer:
Kondos Packs- Made right here in Ely. They'll protect your gear, keep it dry, plus they look great! And they're built tough - lasting year after year.
Eureka Timberline Tents- The 'Outfitter' style. I've used this brand and style of tent since the first day I portaged into the wilderness. They're dependable. Jasper Creek provides the 2-person, 4-person, and the 6-person sizes.
Therma-Rest Pads- They take abuse, yet are comfortable and easy to pack. They come complete with their own handy stuff sack.
Slumberjack Sleeping Bags- These sleeping bags will keep you warm and comfortable, plus they're durable and are freshly laundered after each and every trip.
Alumacraft, Grumman/Marathon, and Souris River (Kevlar) Canoes- 17 foot, 18.5 foot & 19 foot square sterns. The type of trip you have with Jasper Creek will determine the style of canoe you will use in the wilderness. Each canoe model offers different features that can enhance wilderness travel or stability while fishing.
Additional equipment found in my camps include Kondos' kitchen tarps, Stearns life preservers and seat cushions, Grey Owl wooden paddles, and Coleman stoves and lanterns. I could continue on to the last item of equipment, but the bottom line is - it's quality equipment that is well cared for, and it works for me so it will work for you!
Here's a CAMP QUIZ?- What's the most important piece of camping equipment that I take in the woods? Considered by many veteran guides of the Northwoods as the "American Express" gear - They won't leave home without it. You can bet it's in my pack!
If you guessed :
...the dining fly, or kitchen tarp, or rain fly , then you must know the importance of one during inclement weather.
