That looks like a good time! It reminded me of a video I watched a while back about airbags. I have never used them, and was quite surprised to see just how effective they could be at displacing water.

Thanks for reviving this thread. I have a new stroke to learn and a little stretch of gentle upstream on which to practice. This stroke looks exceeding comfortable

I always take deodorant. I have a very garlic-y BO, which some people find rather offensive. Soap is present, may or may not be used. I take a dip every three days if temperate, daily if I've been sweating a lot. I don't like to sleep grimy.

Well, I bought two. I will report back after a trip with them.

Sylvania is very nice! We had a great trip there last September.

Welcome, Daisy! I don't have any input for the PNW, other than I want to visit BC and do the Bowron Lakes Circuit. I really wish I would have known (believed) there is no one canoe that is truly great for all paddling. I also wish I would have started building my gear stash from lightweight...

My early learning was mostly YouTube, and mostly Canadian paddlers. Portahj has stuck with me, but only when referring to a canoe carry. Locations and such are Portij. I've recently begun referring to portages as carries, probably because I've been watching a lot of ADK paddling content.

Odd names for fish you are about to eat... 😁

Man, what a great thread. I will likely never do this route, but what a treasure trove of information. You just can't get this from facetubegram.

Can confirm. Find some neutral canned chicken that you like, drain well, shred, season, and dry. We have also had luck pressure cooking (basically canning) chunks of whole breast meat and then drying.

Fantastic trip report!

That looks amazing!

Ehhhhhh.... Article: "according to resort owners and others who have discussed the issue with Canadian border officials." The actual order appears to continue to exempt foodstuffs brought for personal use. The usual limits on alcohol and tobacco still apply...

Thank you!

Does anyone on the board paddle a StarFire? Willing to share your experience? Bill suggested it at Canoecopia when we were discussing the DF15 being just a touch on the small side.
