Hi, Aaron Welcome to the site. We had a farm outside Auburn for many years and retired to our North Carolina place in 2017 so we've paddled a lot of the same waters. You're in a great area for paddling. Not to mention a post paddle recovery stop at Ommegang Brewery..... Lance

Welcome to the site. My wife and I had a farm in Sennett (Cayuga County) until we sold it in 2017 and moved to our North Carolina place. Just where are you? Lance

dcloots, I can't give you any advice regarding the Speedy Stitcher as I've never used one. I know others here have used them and a search of the term "Speedy Stitcher" will find them. Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace are usually awash in used sewing machine with many being very reasonably...

Ppine, I must have missed this post. Polyester is more sunlight resistant than nylon so if your project will be exposed to a lot of sun I'd suggest using polyester webbing. Lance

Which is why we got married on St Valentine's Day. Even I can't forget it.....

Welcome from Pinnacle, North Carolina. We grew up outside Buffalo and had a farm and construction business outside Auburn until we "retired" ti our NC home in 2017. Lance

If anyone wants to take a shot at repairing or replacing tent poles here's a few options. I've done business with Quest outfitters and have been very satisfied but have not done business with Tent Pole Technologies. https://www.questoutfitters.com/index.html...

Hey folks, can we re-read the first post in this thread and get this back on track, please? The main question was whether you ever carried a gun and you feelings related to that. Please let the off track other things drop and stick to the topic. Thanks, Lance

Good morning. @Robin is on both sites as well.

Next Sunday, June 5th, REI will have the ALPS King Kong chair for only $44.73 USD. It's a really stout camp chair for those base camp days when you would rather not squat around the campfire..... https://www.rei.com/rei-garage/deal-of-the-day Lance

Are you paying for it? If it's there I didn't see it. But if it's there and you pay for it I'll go back for it. :D By the way, I mentioned your name..... they charged me double. Umm... not really but we did agree that you were an interesting character. I got foot brace kits for the...

We're in Ephrata, PA for the weekend visiting our youngest son and his family to celebrate his son's first birthday. Nancy threatened certian of my body parts if this trip became the 3rd (4th?) trip in a row to end with another canoe on the roof rack. As a consolation, I'm headed to Blue...

Sad news indeed. Well, I'll be keeping the Northwoods for some time yet. And I pretty much have always figured that any drive, regardless of distance, is "local" for the right canoe (or some other things) so a drive to Savannah or Knoxville for the right boat wouldn't bother me much. I see...

I can believe that as there's a nice Mad River canoe in Prescott at a very low (by our North Carolina standards) price. Lance

I know that you asked about a stand but depending on how much height you have to work with overhead storage can be handy as it preserves floor and wall space. We have four canoes, all 16-18' long, 24' and 28' extension ladders all hung in our basement with the hoists shown in post #9 here...

Welcome from North Carolina. We used to have a farm outside Auburn and I attended St John Fisher in the mid-1970s. And our daughter is a RN graduate from Nazareth with one of our sons having a double IT major from RIT. It seems that a lot of our money went to schools in Rochester..... We...
