    How to transport canoe with my toppered pickup

    I cant get any answers from the fit guide. It just sends me back to the beginning. But i did find lots of ideas.

    How to transport canoe with my toppered pickup

    I’ve looked online for solutions but cannot find a solid answer on the best rig for my truck. The cargo rack is 4’ between front and rear bars. Think maybe the rails are about 5’. Ive heard there is a clamp-on rack that will fit over the cab but i cannot seem to locate one, or i just don't...

    Greetings from the UP

    I thought I responded to this already, but I don’t see it. I was referring to Lake George New York. It’s been a wonderful week canoeing around that lake.

    How to set up the canvas stretcher

    Many, many thanks for the tip. It really looks like a two handed job so i’ve been contemplating work arounds for certain aspects of the the job. Though i haven't even begun yet, i’m trying to visualize the restoration and predict any stumbling blocks before i get to em. The one handed clamps...

    How to set up the canvas stretcher

    Oh yeah! I’d wager theres not a bad mile in the route. I’m in Escanaba so we take the inland route up to the Porkies, which is on way to Duluth, though we’ve only ever gone that far once or twice.

    How to set up the canvas stretcher

    Appreciate the tip. Duluth is still about a 4 to 6 hour drive for me but everything is a roadtrip up here.

    How to set up the canvas stretcher

    Thanks. Its an old garage so thats why i asked. i could possibly anchor it corner-to-corner. or. . . perhaps extend my backyard patio and convert it into a canoe shed ;)

    How to set up the canvas stretcher

So heres a few questions: *Is this feasible? *How high off the ground do you set the anchors *about how much tension will a taught canvas have snd will 2X4 studs handle it? *where...

    Any upper extremity amputees here?

    I’m hoping the paddling physics in regard to the adaptor will be similar to hiking. I feel like they will be.

    Any upper extremity amputees here?

    Thanks for the info. TRS has provided all my adaptive devices. And so far i haven't encounteres and roadblocks, just a few detours. Here is the device i use for hiking that is actually intended for archery; i think it might also work with paddling TSR Kayaking adaptor

    Any upper extremity amputees here?

    I think i know exactly what you mean. I was kind of thinking the same thing.

    Any upper extremity amputees here?

    Oh yeah. It must be obvious from my typos! Lol. I was offered an adaptive keyboard but i knew i’d struggle if i ever found myself without it. I’d rather adapt myself to the device/activity whenever possible. Special Adaptive equipment may fail, or may not always be available when i need it.

    Any upper extremity amputees here?

    The VA’s go-to for certain. My prosthetist clued my onto a device for hiking poles that was intended for archery that has a nice flex to it that just might work. I’ve overcome obstacles with swimming and weightlifting so figuring this out should be pretty easy. I was mainly curious if there was...
