https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/boa/d/portland-old-town-penobscot-canoe/7701107750.html I have a soft spot for derelict canoes I guess. I will be in Portland tomorrow so I arranged a time to check this out.

Raided the pantry before a trip a couple of years ago. One of the meals I came up with was a small package of potato pearls with a pouch of non dehydrated gravy with beef chunks. It was better than eating Mountain House for every meal.

I just looked on FB in your area. There are quite a few interesting used canoes that may meet your needs. A Wenonah Aurora, a Mad River Explorer 16, and an Old Town Camper 16 to name a few. As MrPoling stated above, your 7 year old will grow and your canoe needs will change. When I got back...

If money wasn't an object and my son was 7, I would consider a Swift Keewaydin or Prospecter 16 Combi in some wild custom bass boat color ...

My daughters live in Portland Oregon. It is currently about 14 degrees Fahrenheit with high winds snow and freezing rain. There are lots of trees down and power outages. Currently about 160,000 people without power. They both have been without power since early this morning and no indication...

Cold cracks + off season = bargaining power. If you are willing and able to make the repairs, you may be able to negotiate a great deal.

My mind went to the canned meat too.

Start them early. My grandson at about 4.

I would like to try my hand at restoring a wood and canvas canoe someday. Right now I have too many projects. This one looks like a major challenge.

I couldn't see any numbers from the pictures posted in the add. The canoe is about a 4 hour drive from my house. It looks like it would be a lot of work to restore.

Polyethylene can be welded. I would checkbout some youtube videos. I would try a cheap harbor freight (or other chinesium) plastic welder. My friend did some plastic welding with some success on his old Coleman. He ultimately placed a big custom made stainless steel patch over the bow. If he...

SPOT Gen 4 is currently 150.00 at Cabela's. My monthly premium for the basic plan is 12.91 per month. The Defy is a cheaper option.

Another benifit of the Defy is actual 2 way messaging. With my old SPOT I can only send pre made messages to phones or emails and I do not recieve any conformation that they were received. I do kind of like that I can't recieve messages ...

Interesting concept. Not being able to drop breadcrumbs/tracks is a deal breaker for me. (It sounds like this will be available at some point)I still use a SPOT Gen 3. I often venture into the back country by myself. I always have the tracking function turned on. I figure if I can't activate the...

I have noticed more and more cairns in my travels. Sometimes they make sense. Like the ones used to mark rocky trails etc. Often they seem to be just graffiti. They generally don't bother me. Here is an example from hike last week.

I have been using the default color until I was reminded by your thread of the options. I am trying out shades of grey now.
