    Suggestions for a 3 person tent

    Been using a North Face two person that I really like. Excellent in harsher weather . Lots of room too. It was a toss up between that and an MSR.

    Things to do with that old poly canoe

    You see a lot of those small rail systems on the lakes around here. They have a little sled the boat fits onto and you winch it up onto shore with that. Gravity feed re entry. On Lake Erie we used to see a sort of boat lift frame with slings to raise it out of the water. You totally need a...

    Quality of Cedar for Rebuilding Canoes.

    yikes!!!!!....STOP J ust take some planking off and repair those ribs from the back with a tenon and some epoxy then put the planking back on. We have been doing that for ever as has most every other w/c restorer out there. The WRC will wrinkle if you try to make new ribs out of it. And break...

    Gunnels and Screws

    Mehhh this whole smozzle is naught but sound and fury. We epoxy the inners on strippers and screw the outers. Its just easier that way and there is rarely an issue either way. If there is,we are quite capable of dealing with it. Plastic boats are mostly screwed or riveted on aluminum or...

    considering a wood/canvas canoe purchase.

    I like the contrasting colours on that one ...the dark wood with the white canvas. The external stem is pretty too. Good lines, well made. Perfect size. If you can get it for a reasonable price I would snap it up in a heartbeat. Caveat....not a tripping boat. This one is a day paddler . The...

    Rebuilding my 1st Aid Kit

    I consider the myriad of nagging injuries that will subtract from my tripping pleasure and try to plan for those. Allergies, bee stings, the runs, and headaches still need to be dealt with. A good antiseptic can make or break yoiu trip too. If you should say, ohh maybe gouge your ankle on a...

    Coffee

    I have an old blue enamel percolator pot. I spark up the white gas coleman until she is burning just nice and then put the pot on while I do other things around camp. Like fish or make breakfast. Yoiu can see and smell the progress as the steam starts to waft out of the spout and soon you hear...

    Throwing line over a tree limb, and a recent revelation

    You know, I never heard of hanging your food until I went on these internet forums. No one really worried about their clothes smelling like food either. We used to wipe our hands on our pants. The solution to a bear stealing your food was a 30-06. The problem was usually short lived. Myyyy how...
