    Interesting paddle

    I picked this up at an antique store in Tupper Lake a few weeks ago. They had it tagged as a "sneak" paddle. I believe this is an Adirondack guide paddle. It's extremely lightweight. Definitely not a hardwood. I varnished the blade and have been using it ever since. It has quickly become my...

    New tent!

    Check out Weatherwool.It's Impressive gear. I purchased their Anorak last November and wore it everyday until the weather broke in April.

    A lightweight "stand-up-able" solo canoe?

    A Nova Craft Bob's special may be your best bet. Eaglet as well. I stand and paddle in both my Bob's and Eagle.

    New tent!

    Those are impressive tents for sure! I also stumbled across Frost Rivers' version. I did not know they made tents as well. Worth a look.

    New tent!

    I was looking at these the other day. I'm starting to go down the traditional gear rabbit hole. When the ice broke back in March I had composite boats ,paddles and nylon tents. What a difference a few months makes. This all started last winter when I swapped out all of my Goretex and goosedown...

    New tent!

    Yes. I have our sleeping bags and tent in a large Watershed dry bag liner with purge valve. I am able to compress this to an impressive level. The poles fit diagonally, at an angle, in the number 4. I also have a few ultralight chairs and the ground tarp stuffed in there. And of course plenty of...

    New tent!

    I used a twin air mattress and my girlfriend still had enough room. I was also able to find it on sale!

    New tent!

    I was able to try out my new Kodiak two man tent this weekend on Forked lake. Very impressed. It is extremely well made and comfortable. We had a hard, consitent rain Sunday morning from 3am to 11am. Staying hunkered down in this tent was a breeze. This is also small enough to fit in my Dukuth...

    Hemlock SRT

    I am not sure if he is a member of the forum. The SRT is now in VT.

    Canoe floor

    That's the first thing my girlfriend said. " My feet will stay dry" it's only a water sport is my basic reply.

    Canoe floor

    I found these on Craigslist a couple months ago and finally got to put them to use. They worked great for a day trip,but don't think they would work for a fully loaded trip. I'm worried the additional height added would throw our center of gravity off. They did give me a great spot for my water...

    Peterborough Litelift

    Thanks! I had to let my SRT go last week. Too many boats and not enough time to fit them all into rotation. Your Bob's looks great. I have been going back and forth on a deep dish yoke for a couple years. I haven't pulled the trigger yet for some reason.

    Best Harness for Blue Barrels ?

    I use a NRS Vapor for my barrel. You can find they used for around 50 dollar. Works well.

    Peterborough Litelift

    I am confident that this is a Bob's special. Thanks for the kind words.There was too much flex in the Peterborough for my liking due to the single thwart configuration. I now just paddle from the stern seat. The saddle works best in my Prospector. I can place it right ahead of the quarter...

    Peterborough Litelift

    I came across this great canoe about two weeks ago. I had no intention of buying another boat, but this landed in my lap and I got it for a song. I applied a quick coat of paint and varnish and got her on the water as soon as I could. Just under 15 feet and whopping 36 inches wide. This is...

    Fully loaded Eagle!

    Man are they fun to take out. I am always dragging them up hills, through mud and dirt and never worry about them. I am constantly hounding Ebay for more. Next up is a Kodiak tent. If they are ever back in stock.

    Chestnut Prospector

    My girlfriend and I took our Chestnut Prospector out to Indian Lake Islands two weeks ago. The weather did not cooperate. High winds and large rolling waves all day followed by rain all night. The highlight of the trip was the Prospector.It swallowed all of our gear no problem. Three large...

    Fully loaded Eagle!

    I had to car top two boats. I sold my SRT and met the buyer at the launch.I didn't feel like wrestling the Prospector onto the space left on my roof rack. I am taking her out next weekend. Fish Pond!
