Day 2 (cont.) Scenery was definitely top notch, as we paddled past sloughs and ridges on clear waters. For canoes, I had brought a Wenonah Prospector 15 for the boys and was trying out a new-to-me Wenonah Encounter for the first time. I knew it was going to be a handful, but I needed some...

Day 2 Dawn was clear and cooler, but not yet fall. The large opening of the Lean 3 gave a perfect view of the sunrise. The fall colors were starting to come on, although my enthusiasm was tempered by the knowledge that at least some of the trees were likely coloring under the stress of Oak...

Well, things changed in a few weeks. Not long ago, I shared with you my deeply personal decision to retire and to close Rutabaga Paddlesports at the end of 2025. That message came from a place of honesty and reflection, and I am still moving forward with my own next chapter in chaplaincy and...

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...

This week on the Namekagon

Whenever I am contemplating a new purchase, I check this guy's channel to see if he has a video covering the subject. Whaddya know....

Huh, there was a thread on BWCA.com about that plane and how it circled the lake for a while and then landed. The poster said the pilot then went up to a campsite where a solo paddler was camping, but left without him. Guess that was you. 😄 Small world. Edited to add screenshot:

Got the MH stuff in yesterday and made a cup this morning: not bad. Not bad at all.

The Aeropress is THE ticket for quality coffee in the sticks. Heck, I use mine every morning at the house with an electric kettle. It offers so much control over brewing, if you want to fiddle, and is stupid simple to operate and clean. Aeropress GO for the woods and the Original for the...

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...
