We don’t travel light and we ain’t light people(not fat but big) and I like to bring a moose back home once or twice a year and it usually takes a bit of leg room in the boat:cool:

Pissing rain up here, I’m disgusted! For once we had great early snow pack!!

Sorry I just saw that... I think I want something like 20 feet minimum I’m a big guy and don’t travel light... that said keep me posted on your find!! Thank you

I agree a 20 footer would be great!! And I heard they pole really well!! Not an easy thing to find up here!!

Nice, real nice!! I need to find some of the heat sealable fabric up here and do some experiments!!

As for guyouts and free standing and non freestanding, both have to be pegged and properly tied out!! A free standing tent doesn’t mean you don’t have to “peg” it down, it just mean that when erected the tent stand on its own!! Not anchoring the tent in anyways is a big mistake!!

I would do the same... keep you eyes open, you never know what could come up, I lucked out on our campfire tent, Canadian made and it was right here in town!! The price was pretty good at 700 or 800 bucks Canadian!!

Well I was gonna suggest that to Robin since that is what we use now in the summer! Ours is a 7x7x6(at the front) I think it is the best style of tent for the summer! It would benefit from having a internal frame like a Snowtrekker, for ease of set up but still it ain’t bad and man they are...

Sorry typo... poggies

Favorite gloves are not gloves but piggies!!

To me that is a waste of wood and time.... but that is just me !!

Doug is a great guy and a great boat builder!! I almost pulled the plug on Kildonan timber cruiser he makes but when I realized that he had increased his prices I couldn’t afford to anymore!! He makes guitars too!! A really talented man!!

Yes, 9 white water paddles!! Main tool to shape the blades is a variable speed grinder with 60 grid sanding/grinding flapper discs

And still lots of place to mess up!!

WIP.... epoxying the white oak strips to the edge of the blade!! Finger crossed that it turn out good!!

Hahaha working all day he said... that is my work!! Taking care of the house(laundry, meals, firewood, ok sometimes I work construction on job site but crap hit the fan and I don’t know when I will be back there... so today I went snowshoeing for 2hrs!) anyhow, I could be a lot busier if I...

Here is an update on the long paddle build!! For things all glued up and shaped up and the latest is steam bending some white oak for the blade edge guard.... it went quite smooth..... to be continued!!

Possibly the biggest snow dump recorded in town in less than 24hrs!!! Lots of shovelling and clearing snow from canoes today!!

I have done lots cold cracks repairs, more than I would like to admit!! I follow the procedure in the west system website and it works awesome, no need for class cloth!! https://www.westsystem.com/wp-content/uploads/655-k-plastic-instructions.pdf
