Burn!:p

I haven't personally but people do use electric fences in polar bear territory (and sometimes grizzly territory). Not necessarily that effective as seen in this video......

August 31 - Day 12 Distance: 18.9km (Total 177.8km) Time: 5hr 45m Caltopo Map: https://caltopo.com/m/B8MTMST At 8:00am the motorboat passed by heading south, I went back to sleep until 10:00am. Around 11:00am the boat was back, heading north, this time I can hear fragments of music and...

With driving distance as the only qualifier I can think of hundreds of possible trips in Labrador, Quebec and Ontario! Mostly lakes? Mostly rivers? A mix of both? Portaging - none, some, lots? Rapids - none, some. lots? Scenic values? Cost/difficulty of access/egress?

August 30 - Day 11 Distance: 10.5km (Total 158.9km) Time: 3hr 39m Caltopo Map: https://caltopo.com/m/B8MTMST I was awoken at 8:45, I could hear the faint sound of a motor, was it a boat, a truck on the highway? It took 90 minutes of idle smoking and a mandarin orange before I managed to boil...

August 29 - Day 10 Distance: 14.7km (Total 148.4km) Time: 4hr 15m Caltopo Map: https://caltopo.com/m/B8MTMST I stepped out at 7:30am, 100% cloud cover, back to bed for another 2 hours of sleep. It was still cloudy but there had not been any rain overnight. There is a bit of wind from the...

August 28 - Day 9 Distance: 15.2km (Total 133.7km) Time: 4hr 38m Caltopo Map: https://caltopo.com/m/B8MTMST I woke just after 6:00am, rolled over for another 3 hours of bliss. By this time the sun was hitting the POD, I opened up the screen covers to let the condensation escape. While I was...

August 27 - Day 8 Distance: 29.3km (Total 118.5km) Time: 8hr 37m Caltopo Map: https://caltopo.com/m/B8MTMST I was up and active at 6:45am, there was a few patches of blue sky, even the sun briefly appeared a couple of times but it did not last long. Light grey cloud soon covered 100% of the...

Someone did (see post #15).

In 1992 I was gifted the mug shown below (16oz Capacity). I have used it on a daily basis for use at home and on trips, it has gone through a lot of rough use, from "swimming" big rapids to falling off the roof of my truck and everything in between...it's essentially indestructible. When...

Go to Temu.com, search for cable wrap, it might give you some ideas. If it doesn't work you can always use it for its intended purpose.

There are a few posts on the site about Rhéaume and a boat maker but nothing specific about the Muskoka model. https://www.canoetripping.net/search/310874/?q=Rh%C3%A9aume&o=relevance From the posts I read they have a reputation for quality boats at relatively low prices for low weight boats...

It would definitely not be as easy. Although levels do vary somewhat due to normal seasonal changes most of the variations are a result of Quebec Hydro's power generating needs. When there is more demand for power from the northeast US (where a huge amount of Quebec's electricity ends up) they...
