No Title I got up to the Catskills last weekend to do some hiking and spent some time on a small piece of property that we own just NW of the mountains. Saturday was gorgeous, warm and sunny but the weather changed pretty abruptly Saturday night and I found myself in the middle of a blizzard...

Nice tilted sedimentary layers! I think I see an unconformity in there somewhere too! Cool stuff haha Wow Coldfeet...I never saw a thread this long LOL. Time to sail the Monarch again?

46. Happy to be paddling!

Thanks Turtle. Did your hole insert catch fire? And when you say "fabric", was it fiberglass? That brings to mind a questions that I have. Is it ok for the stove hole insert to be in direct contact with the stove pipe? My stove pipe is 5in. and I am thinking of removing the above pictured...

Haha I'll go with option no. 2!

Thanks Canotrouge...I asked them but they don't sell it that way but thanks. I also called Panther Primitive who actually makes the tent...they said to use a heavy duty cotton thread with poly core...I don't think I'd sleep well at night knowing that cotton is close to my stove pipe. Trouble...

Hey bcelect...thanks. Actually read that earlier...that's where I got the form-a-gasket idea. Thanks...will read again in more detail. Canotrouge...kevlar tape new to me. Will consider it. Was thinking about doing the same thing with a new layer of fiberglass fabric...maybe cut up a welding...

I just cut my 4" fiberglass stove hole to accommodate a 5" stove pipe. It is now the right size but I now am trying to come up with ways to alleviate the fraying. I've read that some have used a high temp gasket material. I might also get some additional fiberglass fabric now and sew it over the...

Welcome GF! What's "crusher" btw?

LOL Now that's a topic!

Hope you guys get Lows all to yourselves mid week. Sounds like a nice trip. When the timing is right, will try to hook up...right now, work. And yes...the LMB fishing good! I am hoping to hit Lake Lila the following extended weekend Sunday-Tuesday if anyone interested...short trip, not a lot...

Would like to know more about the denatured alcohol stoves. What are the pros? Cons? I typically use an MSR Whisperlite International with white gas and it great. And actually some info on twig stoves would be great too in terms of pros and cons. Can't see it being a real weight savings if it...

Glad you got it out...ouch! I had a rooster tail snagged on an opposite river bank once and after pulling real hard, the line snapped back and said rooster tail lodged itself right in my neck! Took about 5 minutes to get the SOB out since I couldn't see what was under my chin. Another good use...

Lately I've been trying to bring healthier foods to eat. The freeze dried stuff can be real tasty and easy to pack but I now prefer fresher foods (when possible)...bacon is usually always on the must-have list however. My goal is to start cooking fish...if I can figure out how to catch them...

Well thanks for all your help everyone. It all done and only I know where the mistakes are ;). One additional job I want to do is replace the painters actually. Haven't paddled it yet...am hoping to take it to Lake Lila for it's maiden voyage, just hoping an intestinal issue will settle down...

LOL Funny...I find myself doing the same thing sometimes saying "who the heck does this for a fish?" LOL But it great when you out there with no one else around...

Argh! Wish I would've seen this post earlier...I would've joined you for sure :( haha next time. Enjoy your trip!

That great Mihon09...I might have to do the same thing in the future. Must require a good amount of oil I'm guessing.

Chip I can't seem to ever get my feet under a canoe seat when I want to kneel...mine all to low I guess. I have a 16' tandem Mohawk set up the same way (two seats, a yoke and a kneeling bench) and it works great...or maybe I just used to it that way. It would be great to have one less piece of...

Have a great trip dude! Will be following your progress!
