Another paddling season has ended for us here in Minnesota. The boats and gear are stowed away. We had an average number of miles paddled as well as different bodies of water we were on. That was despite the fact that we didn’t take our normal late Spring trip because of COVID. Our trash pick up...

Beautiful! I love the alternate canoeing geography versus lakes and rivers. Well done, thank you very much.

Here is a potential alternative retainer strap for anyone who uses a Trangia 25 or 27 alcohol stove system. The stove system pictured is the smaller 27 in its packed mode. This replaces the webbing and metal buckle strap. Materials: 1/8” shock cord 2-YKK LN-Z key keeper snap hooks or plastic...

I had -30 Fahrenheit Hollowfill II bag in the ‘80’s. Used it hard for 4 months straight. Then lightly for two years. At the end of this time, it was about a +20 Fahrenheit bag. Down only for my wife and I because of durability, comfort, and weight. Thanks

Keep one strap attached into a loop. The other strap is unattached. Put one end of the canoe into the looped strap. Lift...

Welcome Mzungu. A few years ago we spent ten days in your area day paddling and base camping in your area. This was in May and we really enjoyed the waters. Hopefully, we will get back soon. All the best on here and for the paddling season

Great job Jim! We have never participated in a group cleanup on the water. We would like to though, just to meet some fellow paddlers and get some reassurance that at least a few people care. Our local bicycle club holds an annual trail cleanup and we have participated in that. We may be on a...

Princeton Tec Vizz and Apex Pro have very functional reliable for us.

Not quite so eloquent and very concise: Dude! Where’s my paddle?

Switching from Kokatat Orbit Tour (now discontinued, I believe) to the Kokatat Hustle. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but I am looking forward to testing it out.

Hi Glenn. The SportsRig has been wonderful: good gas mileage, the boat rides securely and the peace of mind in windy conditions is what I like best. The one we have now has many long trips on it and needs some replacements (a shock and tires to replace the originals). It over ten years old and...
