in case anyone is still looking for a loud whistle to strap to their PFD Aztec whistle It’s known to be so loud, that it wakes up Chalchiuhtlicue, the goddess of water and gives good surf back to camp. Dang!

I was one of those googlers looking for answers during Covid and found more than i searched for. I became a member of my first forum. Since then, I’ve read many of your posts, trip reports, how to’s, routes, modifications and looked at many pictures. I keep coming back because I’m completely in...

I cut my carbon shaft and taped it fora bit until I shortened it to where it felt good, a little shorter than my other paddles. Then i epoxied it and cleaned up the overspill that was squeezed out. I used shrink tubing over the seam to give it a cleaner look Andy protect it some. It’s a very...

Yes they are. Wilderness is one of the top dogs for recreational kayaks on the higher end. Still making the tsunami, tempest, and focus in their sea kayak rec touring line. I’m a big fan of the tempest and thing it’s one of the better poly boats. Perception is a good middle ground entry level...

Before I picked up my NS, I was eyeing a couple of MRC’s over mine. One was from a very nice Old woman, I think I’m her 80’s, had the light toned Kevlar Malecite in flawless condition. Her asking price was one I didn’t even want to negotiate. Then an Explorer for sale somewhere in MN, also in...

The Jordan river in East Jordan, MI, sometime in middle school around 12 yrs old. Just day paddles, and lazy cruises. It’s a fun river with deep holes and good wildlife. As well as local “pirates”

Woodpuppy, it’s good to hear that those traits, or habits, are being passed down. Every year at salmon camp, my buddies kids, and all of us adults, clean the trash up where we fish. It’s become a special moment for the kids, they look forward to the fishing and campfire, but they really get...

I could very much be wrong on what I saw, there’s no doubt about it. But after doing some research, while waiting for the bridge to open back up, on IF it’s possible that golden eagles can exist in northern Michigan. I found some info where the DNR state that although goldens do not nest here...

driving back from the keweenaw today, somewhere between 5-10 miles West of Nuabinway, fresh deer carcass drivers left, we saw an eagle but it was larger. Turned around to double check, too big for a juvenile, thought maybe a golden. Yep! A golden eating venison. How crazy to read that you and...

It’s beautiful that more and more people are getting out into nature and making purchases that help fund a park or brand. But what isn’t beautiful, is hiking in a scenic area only to see wads of willy roll and granola bar wrappers scattered. We learn things at an early age, be polite, don’t...

And every other park! Literally in sight off of the hiking trails

10/02/2019 Killarney, ON. I might’ve already posted this one before

It’s hard to know what’s purposely thrown out and what’s an accidental litter. Either way, it drives me bonkers seeing trash around. We do our best to grab trash on our walks, hikes, and paddles. But sometimes it’s hard to get it all Here’s a photo of trash picked up everyday from some good...

I think groups can definitely be fun! Like several other people have said, they’ve gone with family, friends, acquaintances, etc and have had a good time. It is a blast to have good company around and shoot the breeze with each other and tell stories around the fire. Those gut busting laughs...

I prefer solo, or with my wife. Groups bother me, everyone has the “better” way of doing something at the same time and that tends to get under my skin. Some of my not as “outdoorsy” friends don’t know proper care or handling of items, and we’re dang near 40. So, I’ll stick to solo or with my +1...

I agree! And she often comes looks like a chese. The wife had one of the dna tests done and it came back lab/pitt parents and the rest of her bloodline as lab. But who knows

Bob, I’ve had a few people ask if that’s what she is, but she’s actually a lab mix

Last year, I purchased my first Kevlar canoe, a blind purchase for a used Northstar. It was used for one season and the serial # and sings reflects that. I paid $1,500 for it and drove from Northern lower MI to just past Ely for it. Had a fun road trip! I did have some repair work to do, and I...

A thief will get what they want if they really want it, but here are some locking cam straps that could help in conjunction with some of the ideas mentioned above. Not cheap, but neither is a canoe. https://www.kanulock.com/collections/all Thule, Yakima and Sea2Summit also make some of these.
