I rented a We-no-nah Prism canoe for a seven day expedition into the boundary waters in northern Minnesota. It was a ultra light Kevlar canoe. The boat handle pretty well. I was with two other tandem canoes and was able to keep pace with them reasonably well. The boat was light to portage. Reasonable stable to paddle and fish with.
I used a Hennessy Explorer hammock on a trip to the boundary waters in northern Minnesota. The hammock is light weight to pack and carry on portages. The hammock is very comfortable to sleep in. The trip was the first week of August and reasonable warn, but I was comfort all night long. Easy to set up. Rain fly kept me dry in the few showers that we had.
