    Fund Raiser Coming Soon

    Not sure that's a good idea. Seems like a slippery slope that could lead to manufacturers asking for "advertising space" and complaining if the site has negative comments about their products. I also don't see any benefit of possibly giving out membership rolls. Once you open the door a crack...

    Two Propane Tanks

    Sounds a little steep for used propane tanks. But if you throw in Shipping and Handling and a torx screwdriver set I might be interested.

    Coldfeet (David) has site #111 reserved in Rollins Pond. I have #112 -- If you are going to be able to make it we can leave space for you on Coldfeet's site just let us know. Coldfeet has no clue what packing light means when car camping. I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up with a fully...

    Stupidest Canoe Accessory Ever?

    You're missing the other advantages of the foot stake. Think of it as a weapon to fight off bear attacks or mounting on the front of your boat for ramming the attacking viking hordes. I'm sure with a little creativity there are probably thousands of uses heck it would probably even make a...

    Boundary waters advise wanted

    Good one David, a fill in the blanks question. I'll give a little help. David is moving his daughter who is graduating from Ohio State to Denver for her new job. He's going to be in Denver from 8/5 to 8/12 and do some camping. Then he plans on flying to Duluth to do some paddling. After...

    Return of the Osprey! (or maybe more properly "Seasonal Blondes!")

    The osprey return normally coincides with the movement of the Alewife (River Herring) which return to fresh water to spawn. The Alewife generally move upstream when the fresh water temperature moving into to salt reaches around 45 degrees. Your blonds will be feasting on the Alewife as they...

    Big Unveiling

    From the video it looks a lot like a Rapidfire which is also a DY design. Main difference appears to be the seat design. The other boat in the video that looked familiar is the camouflage one which looks like a response to the Placid Boatworks canoe which they make with the Realtree camouflage.

    canoe cover bags?

    I brought mine when I noticed the front of the canoe getting sand blasted after driving long distances. Unfortunately NYC needs to get the sand for it's construction from somewhere and Long Island sees it's share of sand trucks on the Long Island Expressway heading to the city. Seemed like a...

    canoe cover bags?

    I've used a Bag Lady cover on my solo canoe since 2011 with multiple 400 + mile trips. No problem at all with the covers in what has to be well over 20,000 miles of highway driving.

    Why we live where we do?

    Simple answer is I don't know better. Grew up in Patchogue, Long Island roughly 60 miles east of NYC. Parents house was a few hundred feet from a lake and salt water was about a mile away. Ended up going to college on Long Island and then graduate school at NYU so education and jobs kept me...

    Nissequogue

    Since it seems like a number of us have roots on Long Island and recall paddling on the Nissequogue River I thought I'd add a few recent comments on paddling the Upper Nissequogue. Twice a year the local paddling club is permitted to paddle the upper River before and at the end of trout fishing...

    Searching for the New Jersey Devil on Batso River

    Those pictures actually demonstrate Coldfeet's idea of traveling light. He's the only paddler I know who takes 90+ pounds of gear for one night. I'm anticipating him trying to find a way to add a trailer hitch or roof rack for his canoe.

    Cold weather handwear.

    David, and you wondered why I said you were crazy when you asked me if I wanted to go with you. Wind chill put the temperature in the single digits yesterday add in paddle drip and it was made for cold hands. I found the warmest paddling gloves I own are the Magic Marine gloves I picked up at...
