Thanks, here’s the trip report, it was 12 days, not 3 weeks like I mentioned above. https://www.canoetripping.net/threads/woodland-caribou-provincial-park-12-days-solo.411/

Back in 2010 I spent 3 weeks in Woodland Caribou Provincial Park, solo in wood canvas Chestnut Pal. I was wind bound so I tilted the canoe up to take advantage of the wind and sun to dry out the inside.

I hate to sound like a broken record, but back during my tenure I vetted each and every new member. We have had 3 spammers post in the last couple of months so I believe the current system does not do an adequate job of weeding out those who will do harm. Those guys were JV team. Vetting new...

I like this picture a lot. Is that the mainland across the open water?

I drove truck back in the day, 48’ers down into Manhattan, twin 28’ers into Brooklyn, tandem 48’ers up into Boston area. I was in my element, no worries. My two worst experiences driving my pickup with canoe on the roof were driving thru Montreal during rush hour and Ottawa during construction...

I tried it earlier this morning and wasn’t able to login?

Great pictures with captions, looks like a nice crew with some great menu ideas. I was up there a few days ago with a slide in truck camper, fortunately my new 10 ply’s held up well, the roads had a lot of loose sharp edged shale. Thanks for sharing your trip.

Felt on the stems are skid plates. One thwart is ok, if you ad one behind the bow seat to make it serve its purpose, you won’t be able to solo while sitting on the bow seat, canoe reversed in a 16’ canoe, it will be two close. Those gunnels you have, while not pretty like wood, are robust...

I think that’s a better idea, here’s a good source, ( you will need some G-Flex also), maybe thwarts from them too. https://www.mohawkcanoes.com/collections/all

I would call Jamestown Distibutors to see what they recommend for the hull. (https://www.jamestowndistributors.com/product/epoxy-and-adhesives?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=5612040&gclid=CjwKCAjwobnGBhBNEiwAu2mpFJS-mdKidzGKTsrkvzYTz5wLRdN4Ec3y9xDHsuOr2IFQ299oLjXM9RoC-CsQAvD_BwE)1 I used Total...

Thanks for writing this report, and adding the nice pictures, very interesting.

I’m in, her name is Loretta, she follows me everywhere.

Hi Neighbor, Welcome to the site, we have quite a few people from Maine here.

Wood canvas canoes, both tripping and restoring are my Maine love now, been that way for as long as I can remember. My other interest has been old Chevy trucks, I have owned many over the years. I thought it was over when I sold my old 72 3/4 ton long bed. I sold my Tacoma at the same time and...

I recently purchased this older Portage Pal canoe trailer for $175. After some repairs ( wiring, broken fender mount, wheel bearings), I plan to hook it to the back of my truck camper and head to northern Maine next week for my first trip with the trailer. I would rather load the canoe on the...
