Welcome. If the pup reads this you might have (Hades) to pay but, then again, it'd be worth it to have him reading. We should all read more. Glenn will be along shortly. I'm sure there's a way to change username. Maybe "... w/Cerberus"

Completely agree. If you can't roll (or get away from your boat) in a pool or pond, you have zero chance of doing it in moving water. It's also something that should be practiced. I could do it easily in my teens but have no confidence that I could do it today. (yet another reason I portage...

Welcome to the site, Mark. Lots of experienced builders here to help and even more of us that love to watch build threads. Always something that we can learn.

I think auto correct errors have become so common that I knew exactly what Bill had intended to write. It actually made the altered text (and BB's response) even funnier to me. (also good that the alterations didn't run afoul of the profanity filters)

The maps from wabakimimaps.com show campsites as black triangles & portages in red w/ length notation but no GPS coordinates or campsite / portage notes such as I've had for the past 2 trips (thanks again, mem... You've, obviously, spoiled me) I assume that both length of ports & locations of...

Quick update: I received maps for the route (and an alternate exit from Whitewater skipping the Raymond River & Cliff Lake) from Laurence at Wabakimimaps.com and I'm, again, grateful for @memaquay's excellent maps the past 2 years. Don't get me wrong; the maps look great and should be enough...

PFDs?

If she watches for edible birds & can shoot reasonably well, you can still acquire supper doing it her way (just less ethical to catch & release)

...and here I am building nothing but solos... sure hope she can paddle!

That sounds small... Maybe for a ww playboat?

Could, certainly, be a lack of imagination but, more likely, they're trying to capitalize on any following that the original Cirrus may have had. Sort of like Chrysler relaunching the "Gladiator" which looks like a yuppie-mobile & nothing like the 1960's AMC Jeep trucks. (unfortunately, I've...

Trust me, you won't be able to see a staple hole when I'm done but any filling will be inadvertent. :cool:

I did encounter some slight deviation as I closed in the football but only minor such as I've had on other hulls and I know that I can correct that before I glass by adding supports between the strongback & the low spot. I got the football closed this weekend & started pulling staples...

Ditto, but I'm almost always solo so I always win (or lose, depending on how you look at it)

Depending on her reasons, you may not have to rule out all meats. Cooked bacon will (in my experience) store at room temperature for 6 weeks & I do mine "al dente" and can fry further in the field if desired. Break it up & throw some in a package of 7 minute wild rice of something like Knorr...

I'd think you're ok. Just go for it (maybe don't tell the Ranger where to find the list)

Weird. The link worked for me (both from Glenn's original post and from your quote of it). Phone / browser specific glitch?... Anyone else having issues viewing?

Weirdest thing I carry is a few disposable urinary catheters. When I started doing really remote trips, my urologist thought it would be a good idea "just in case"... Happily, like Robin's pain meds and Bill's life insurance, I've never used them.

By the time I'd reached the top of the stem forms, the tapers were providing no coverage at all in the center of the hull so I moved to the center and started tapering toward the stems After 3 or 4 of these, the strips were starting to run pretty straight down the hull and I was finally...

A word to anyone testing high on PSAs: Don't freak out until they tell you the results of the biopsy. I got tested for the 1st time at 50 and my PSAs were 5x "normal" (testosterone is also 4x "normal"). Dating a nurse at the time, she & her co-workers assured me that I almost certainly had...
