No gas between Chapleau, Wawa, Searchmont, Black Creek Outtfitters/Aubrey Falls.  Long, vast areas with no towns, no help, no services. Just you, the wilderness, and 3 or 4 warm up shelters. Bring the largest fuel caddy you can carry. At the worst, it is something to start a fire to signal for help. No cell services either, some guys are carrying starlink set ups now. This is true wilderness riding, more remote in the middle than the Abitibi Canyon trail. Ski

Bring your gas caddy.

The answer is probably in the forums somewhere but I can't find it. Wawa to Chapleau shows by the ITG to be about 258kms, is there fuel available between these two towns?   Don't want to carry a gas caddy if I don't have to thanks brian

Anytime we were near the St Lawrence the winds were just a howling - but almost all of that section of our trip ended up being scrapped with that closed section on that one day.....no run from Gaspe to sled den around trail 5. We considered staying for a day more in Gaspe while the issue was dealt with, but decided not too. Only went as far as 133 to village grande nature chic chocs for lunch east of 595. You guys should have headed down 595 and circled back - that is the trail we ran twice as well as 111 over to Murdochville - which was a great trail to do to in both direction anyways, not challenging at all for newer riders, winds were gone with all the mountains around you and great views! Next year will be great - but I can see how this area might not be the best for riders with not much experience.

2 stroke is probably my favorite smell. it will never ever bother me.
