Welcome to the forum!

Day One Four o'clock did indeed come quickly. I grabbed what I thought would be the last hot shower for the next 8 days and roused the boys before making my morning coffee. As I ground the beans, I idly wondered whether I had packed enough instant and briefly considered taking my usual coffee...

I am intimately familiar with odors caused by prolonged exposure to biologics. If the odor is microbial, this stuff is the best I have ever found. https://arrestmyvest.com/

Pre-trip Preparations Without our usual paddling partners, we had immense flexibility in trip timing. My son is homeschooled, so not many obstacles there, and I am fortunate to have a job with great latitude given to PTO taken for the advancement of family relationships and personal...

Sometime in the past three years, likely as the result of some Canoecopia presentation or perhaps the River Kings Namekagon video series, I decided that I really wanted to paddle the Namekagon. Well, last week, we got our chance. This thread will chronicle our journey. The Namekagon River flows...

Great report, thanks for taking the time!

Best part of my morning: quiet house, stout coffee, and an update from @recped. I'm really becoming more and more interested in making this trip.

I have also invoked Nemo's warranty and found them easy to deal with. You will like that pad, very comfortable. Bulky, but oh-so-comfortable. I had a similar waterproofing issue on a tent of that vintage. Nemo explained the issue to me, which was basically two chemical treatments that are...

Both, is what I got from his blog post. He didn't find a buyer that he was confident would be up to the standard of his legacy. Wanting something to carry on "as-is" beyond your time of influence nearly always demands a transfer to another sole proprietor, and always excludes sale to private...
