    Adirondack Gathering October 6,7,8 & 9th- 2017

    Yes, Hammocks are fine. I believe they do frown upon them at State Campgrounds as sites can be close together and the best trees may encroach into the next site. They also had a restriction on stringing rope between trees but don't enforce that much with tarps being so popular. As long as you...

    Another Mad River Independence In PA

    Strange for sure. The JLA post has Lilburn in GA. This post says near York PA. There seem to be several questionable postings for Independence canoes online lately. Is this the Boat of choice for scammers? One guy on BWCA Says they used the pictures of his boat for a listing on craigslist "...

    Yakima load stops to avoid

    I see how the Yakima is not as robust as the Thule. Now 30 years later I know that I chose the correct brand with Thule, although they are being made in Asia instead of Sweden now.

    Another new guy looking for advice on first quality canoe

    I would pay $875 if I were in the market. You can double blade any solo as long as the blade is long enough. Less angle will mean dryer legs. :) It looks like they have snaps for a paddling cover, ask if they have the cover for it. It would make a nice option to stay dry, and even warmer in the...

    Global distribution of lakes, where most lakes can be found...

    Turns out that 62% of the world's lakes are in Canada, and 9% of the surface area is covered by freshwater. Smaller lakes (or they may be large depending on your relative viewpoint) were included in the study, lakes larger than 10 hectares in area, about 25 acres. So of the world's 1,420,000...

    Another new guy looking for advice on first quality canoe

    Congratulations on the Cruiser, they are a most sought after Sawyer canoe. Is it fiberglass or Kevlar? I don't that you would need to limit yourself to fiberglass with your $1000 budget, there are several nice used Kevlar's on the market right now. What is your location and how fare are you...

    This is where I got the Indy specs, He also has a review. Click on the canoeing link at top of page, and then scroll down on left side to Boats. I especially enjoy reading about the modification to his Prism, someday when I get motivated, I may customize mine.

    Finding a Solo Boat For Buffalo Bob.

    Are you perhaps considering that one in Essex Junction? $1250 vs. $3295, hmmm. Decisions decisions..There seem to be plenty of nice used boats on CL lately, prices are reasonable too. If I were you and didn't paddle a particular boat before buying it new, I would buy used and sell it if i didn't...

    Finding a Solo Boat For Buffalo Bob.

    Here are some specs on the Independence. I imagine that they probably made a kevlar version. The Mad River Independence is the solo version of the famous Malecite, built for paddlers 150 lbs. and over. Mad River Canoe's spec sheet indicates a 6" freeboard load of 700 lbs, but it would be foolish...

    How about a Mad River Malecite? Located in MA. Price may be a bit on the high side, but Mad River made some solid boats in the day.
