Not like a French speaker. But I did learn the word in Ontario.

I've got friends just over the NC line from SC's Table Rock State Park. They've got bugout bags in the car and are keeping the pets close at hand. My son is leading an Outward Bound course near NC's Table Rock. He's getting daily updates from the mothership, and also has contingency plans in...

Agreed, modern pads are a huge step up from what they used to be. I'm a side sleeper and use a Big Agnes Air Core Ultra, but I'm sure there are many others that would be equally comfortable.

Be a bit before the water is warm enough for me, but at least as of yesterday the ice is out at my local put in. On the CT above Wilder dam as well.

Once you get the hang of it, putting on the Redleaf canoe cover (not the coat, I can't speak to that) is really quick and easy. Put the boat in the right place on the cover (that's the only trick), lift the cover over the bow, slide the bow into the end of the cover, then lift the other end of...

Any Rheaumes there? Their fit and finish has always looked good to me as well.

Boatguard SPF 50 would do the same as 303. May also be hard to source overseas though. I usually treat my boats once in the spring before use and once in the fall before storage. I think it would last for a month easily, but if the boat is in the water every day maybe re-apply after a couple...

Deerfly and horsefly are also available. The possibilities seem endless in fact. Tse Tse Fly anyone?

Nope, nothing specific. General thoughts would be good. Maybe a rundown on what the reps touted as selling points? Plans to extend to other models?

Anyone stop at the Wenonah booth and check out their new layups?

Forest bathing is standing or sitting* in the woods. Feeling spiritually superior to other folks who are just out there minding their own business in the woods is a perk, but not necessarily a requirement. *Lying in the woods is called napping, and does not count as bathing.

Would hate to trip in a playboat/creekboat. And I question their relevance here. Might as well talk about kayaks.

Didn't watch far, but at least some of that is from Nanook of the North, which all us anthropology majors had to watch in college back in the 70's. Here's the original film. 1922.

Redundant. :)
