Glad you made it relatively unscathed. Lots can happen. Your experience is the reason I don’t do solo trips anymore. Just this past moose hunt, I was heading into a cutover in my Argo. I hit a big hunk of wood just right and it flipped up and whacked the side of my head. Had it not been for my skid lid, it would have done some damage. In the outdoors, Shyte happens !!

Thanks for the kind words guys. As it turns out even with the helmet on i knocked my noggin pretty good - have to but a new helmet next week. Concussed apparently. Taking it easy this week, no real pain or anything but can't focus very well and lose my train of thought pretty easy (well easier than before). Hopefully cold locks things back up. Planning to hit the lake again Feb 23,24 but going to stay in closer and will be using my wife's sled LOL.

The wilderness is not a stadium where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, it is the cathedral where I worship.

All banged up buckling under marked a good crossing before the snow came for a potential crossing next week.

Picked up the Skandy today after getting it repaired/prepped for the upcoming season after the cluster#$%^ in February - $1800 - that'll learn yeah. Cheaper than a new head though - although guess i should add the cost of a new helmet as well LOL. To be fair a small part of that was regular maintenance.

Stuff happens. At least it only took money to fix. Glad you will be back up and running

Glad you made out okay. From the Dalai Lama "when you lose, don't lose the lesson".
