    Backyard trailcam

    This particular one has an infrared flash so it doesn’t spook the wildlife. At night it shoots in B&W mode. You can shoot still photos or video clips or a combination of the two. This model uses 8 AA batteries and a micro SD card. I moved it outside my fenced yard last night, but set it...

    What is your local day paddle?

    I live in a neighborhood on the North side of the city of Dayton, Ohio. The neighborhood is actually nestled in between the Stillwater and Great Miami River(GMR). I consider the Stillwater my "home" river as I spend the majority of my time on it paddling/fishing. It has a lot more "green...

    Backyard trailcam

    I picked up a new trailcam on clearance at Menards a couple of days ago. My buddies and I have joked about bringing one on trips with us to see what wanders thru our camp at night while we are asleep. I set it up in my backyard last night aimed at our bird feeders. Our dog Luca goes nuts...

    The most you've ever paid for a canoe (buy or build)

    About 4 or 5 years ago I purchased my first "new" boat which also happened to be my first solo boat......a Northstar Phoenix in their (then) new IXP layup for $1800.00......all of my canoes prior to this were used aluminum/royalex/fiberglass.....considerably less expensive. FWIW, while at...

    Canoecopia 2022

    I went a few years ago with a couple of my paddling buddies, we really enjoyed it. It was an opportunity to see a lot of new canoes/gear first hand and talk to the manufacturers. While the gear show is going on, there are presentations on various topics, typically about an hour long each...

    Canoe Club Extracurricular Activities?!?!?

    So, ice boat is the correct answer, it is believed to have been built by club members from a kit sold by Kemp Machine Works of Muncie, IN. The engine is a Kemp “Gray Eagle” airplane engine….they sold ice boat kits on the side…. Mike

    Canoe Club Extracurricular Activities?!?!?

    So a long time club member discovered these old club photos and they were published in our monthly club newsletter with a challenge to see if anyone could guess what the contraption was....the photos were taken in the canoe locker area of the club back in the 1920's give or take a few...

    What is the ideal canoe dog for a solo canoeist?

    A little over 4 years ago, my wife and I decided it was time for a new pup…..I believe I posted about it back then so I won’t run thru the whole story again….I was hoping to find something under 50# full grown….my wife fell in love with a rescue puppy that our niece 7 hours away was fostering...

    The Dayton (Ohio) Canoe Club.....Last one standing

    @Glenn…..the lockers are 18’ deep, approximately 3’tall, and maybe 3.5’ wide…in that picture I previously posted of the lockers, the lockers continue beyond the closed doors at the end of the hall and they have a 4th row of lockers. Most people line their locker with either carpet scraps or...

    The Dayton (Ohio) Canoe Club.....Last one standing

    It’s easy to get lost in there…..you could spend hours stumbling around looking at photos, scrap books and just the building in general…..my wife and I volunteered in the kitchen yesterday for the annual New Years Day dinner and I kept getting drug out and sucked into various canoeing...

    The Dayton (Ohio) Canoe Club.....Last one standing

    I apologize for the poor quality of these photos, but I am taking them with my phone and the lighting is very poor…..the above photos are of the “ballroom” also used as meeting room and dining room. It has been kept pretty close to its original condition/appearance. Several years ago, members...
