    Think it would be solely your choice depending on you back but a traditional seat would offer more options for changing positions for relief….sitting, kneeling, one or two legs under the seat…seems like a floor mount would lock you into one position. Also getting up from the floor is not the...

    Smart phone satellite SOS capability

    Did the included demo test with my new iPhone 16 Pro and it worked perfectly. I was surprised at how quickly it connected to the satellite. Certainly is a nice backup feature to have whether traveling wilderness or not.

    How Bad Is My Paddling?

Boats stored on top. Second pic is me (R)...

    Best & worst campsites ever?

    Worst was at “Grocery Place” site on the paddling loop at Collier-Seminole state park in SW Florida. Grass 2 feet high which I am certain contributed to mosquitoes so thick you couldn’t open your mouth to speak. Gave up cooking dinner when there were more mosquitoes in the pot than food. Not...

    What are we doing wrong?

    Videos do have value, however….. Taking lessons from certified instructors was the best decision my wife and I made when we were beginning paddling. Highly recommended. Eventually I became an instructor then instructor trainer and, certainly not to toot my own horn, but I know I was able to...
