Borrowed a canoe from a friend and canoed across a lake to camp. It was fun, hiked up to explore some more lakes from our camp. The dog didn’t love the canoe, but did fine. The water was some of the clearest I’ve ever seen, will be returning to do some freediving. I do think I still prefer backpacking over canoe-camping. We rowed just over 2 miles to get to camp.

      Yeah we felt very blinged out! Hammocks, the big tent, and a camp stove. And the canoe had a ton of empty space left

      I’m totally needy, pack the kitchen sink. We have the same size as OPs and carry all sorts of ridiculous stuff. Camp table, chairs, umbrellas, string lights, battery chainsaw? Why not? Throw a 60qt. cooler in there and I’ve got beer, drinks and ice for days, plus a nice seat! Hell, tow a kayak behind for playing once you’re set up.
