    Thelon River, Northwest Territories & Nunavut (1993)

    Hi Michael-I really enjoyed this trip report and appreciate the time and effort it took to post it. One thing that impressed me over and over was how fortunate you are to have found and married a strong and gutsy woman who will undertake adventures like this. You are also fortunate to have...

    Pack Basket Treat or not Treat

    I have been using a similar pack basket for 35-40 years with no treatment. I have used it on canoe trips and it serves as a storage container for rolled topo maps at home. It still looks new, no splits or problems, after 5 years in humid Connecticut and 30+ years in dry Utah climates. Part...

    Multi pocket canoe packs

    I have the NRS “plastic dry box “ and like it for river tripping. I haven’t tried portaging with it yet. I got spoiled using a big aluminum dry box on raft trips and it is basically a smaller, lighter version for canoes. If I ever make it back to the Boundary Waters again I may try using one...

    Gunwale repair options

    Thanks to everyone for your very informative replies and the link to the video. It does appear that the hull damage is primarily the gel coat "flaking off" when it was bent. The kevlar isn't visibly torn. Do the white lines (last photo) on the interior indicate that there are problems with...

    Gunwale repair options

    We had a stupid accident yesterday- the front tie down rope was not tied and went under the tire of the truck. The wood gunwales on my recently acquired 1988 kevlar Mad River Malecite were damaged in the resulting quasi explosion. The prior owner had oiled them some and there is no rot (we are...
