Riassunto

When Drew got back into canoe tripping after a long break, he started with a simple goal: to make up for lost time. Armed with his pack, his canoe and warm memories of long-ago trips, he set out confidently to explore one of Canada’s best-known paddling destinations, Algonquin Park. He quickly learned that confidence does not equal competence. The pack wasn’t always full, the canoe wasn’t always pointed in the right direction, and sometimes warm just meant hazy.

Don’t Forget the TP is the story of a decade of canoe trips and the lessons learned along the way. It’s the story of brutal portages and relentless blackflies, of storms he shouldn’t have paddled through, and decisions he shouldn’t have made. Above all, it’s the story of a man slowly realizing that canoe tripping is about much more than getting from one lake to the next.

Funny, honest and instantly recognizable to anyone who has ever thrown themselves into something they had no business trying, this is a decade of adventures in Canada’s backcountry, told by someone who learned the hard way and kept coming back for more.

EDITORIAL REVIEWS:

“This is a funny and honest book about canoe tripping in Algonquin Park. The stories capture the beauty, challenges, mistakes, bugs and unexpected moments that come with exploring the backcountry. Drew’s humour makes even the toughest portages and worst decisions entertaining. But underneath the laughs is a story about learning, adapting and becoming a better tripper over time. If you love Algonquin, canoeing or a good adventure story, you’ll enjoy this book.”

“Like Drew, I keep on paddling in the Algonquin interior, adjusting from guide days to retirement days, but always enthralled with each day’s travel. Sitting with Drew’s text, I feel as though I’m sitting fireside with him at a backcountry campsite, sharing a whiskey and listening to his stories, laughing together and marvelling at Algonquin’s secrets and gifts. His volume is a marvellous companion to Drew’s exhaustive inventory of routes and campsites. A real contribution to the Park canon.”
