I watched it before I saw the post. Great photography. Very well done. Made me miss Algonquin bad. Thank you for posting the link. The video is worth watching.

It took me three attempts to make it all the way through. Such abuse. All in the name of science I suppose. Painful to watch though. Impressive material for sure.

Done via PayPal. Thank you for the good work, Doug.

Tough crowd around here :)

Watched it too. Waiting for the next one. I was surprised he did not mention how he lost his tooth. Did I miss it?

I used the below on a 4-day Algonquin trip (and since). It also worked great on my rechargeable headlamp. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Not sure if there are options available that are not made in China. In case the link doesn't work, here is the description. Phone Solar...

I am 6" 215lbs just like you. I recently had an opportunity to paddle a 15' Swift Keewaydin and really liked it. To me, that canoe would be a very good choice for efficient day tripping. Can you elaborate on your statement "but Keewaydin seems a bit more stable than I want"? I have a Wenonah...

Agreed. Swift probably has the highest (?) web-presence of all canoe manufacturers. To their credit, they know how to build canoes and they put a lot of thought into their product development, while others seem to be largely contended with tried and true models...for which a case can certainly...

It sounds like Hellman used this "new" technology 20 years ago. I am curious why most canoe folks then seem to know Swift for their innovations and not Hellman.

Nice video on bush craft guys making a paddle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfnBNrqha6k Goofy at times but very nice results!

I carried/paddled this pack on a few-day trip to Algonquin, last September. https://algonquinoutfitters.com/product/algonquin-outfitters-large-canoe-pack/ Inside was a heavy mil garbage bag as a liner. Inside that were three dry bags, one with misc. gear one with clothes and sleeping bag and one...

Well... it is 51°F now at mid-day, but the thermometer is dropping quickly. It is supposed to be only 44°F tonight - Brrrr. There is a paddling season? Sorry. Couldn't help it...:cool:

Had not seen the Hellman Canoes before. Thanks for the info, Canotrouge! Nice canoes. Not a huge fan of the cross ribs for my style of canoeing. I had an older Wenonah Spirit II in their old style tuf-weave, and it had cross ribs like that. I am a kneeler and those ribs were literally a pain to...

Don't always read every thread to the end, but this one's a nail biter! Can't wait for more :cool:

Vinegar kills the mold. Don't use bleech. It will damage the fibers and destroy your bag. I had good success using "Iosso Mold and Mildew Cleaner". https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002AR5G6Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I used several applications of this product to clean...

Just got my daughter one of these. She loves it. https://www.btibrands.com/product/24otcp-old-timer-splinter-carvin-knife-traditional-pocket-knife/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhPn5j-ij5gIVkaDsCh3JNg-GEAQYASABEgIiG_D_BwE

I meet someone new at a party or through mine or my wife's work or a new neighbor or…etc. We get to chatting and, if initial chemistry works, the conversation goes on and at some point turns to what one does in one's spare time. When someone asks me what I like to do, I say canoeing. And then it...

Rear window rolls down into rear door, and the door drops toward you when opening. Nothing opens upward other than the hood. Same for the old, full size Cherokees. And no, this beaty is not part of my fleet. :(

You bet, Pook. I am also glad you asked. Made me re-think/live some of it again :). Re the AO store: I had some time to kill while they were packing up my gear for me, so they suggested I'd take a look out back where they have an outdoor showroom if you will, with many of their latest models and...
