    Dutch Oven Recipes

    If I'm using a Dutch oven, I'm not far from my car, so charcoal with a chimney is my preference too.

    Swift with new "UV shield" and Heat cured Epoxy resin built boats new for 2024

    Link didn't work. I've been on Spenser - in July - and it would really scratch up a composite. Pretty sure there are other stretches similar. I had been thinking Echo at 45#. There's a lot between 25# and 65#. Lightest t-formex I find is 42#.

    Swift with new "UV shield" and Heat cured Epoxy resin built boats new for 2024

    Appreciate the responses. I was thinking about NFCT - Spenser Creek cones to mind - and wanting to drag a solo with 75 pounds of gear five miles. I can pick a canoe and use it accordingly or I can decide how I want to use it and then go pick that canoe. Just no sense any composite canoe can...

    Swift with new "UV shield" and Heat cured Epoxy resin built boats new for 2024

    Is any composite canoe really durable enough to be pulled up a bony creek for several miles? I'm just coming to the opinion that t-formax (or poly or aluminum) is really all that can take that kind of abuse, and you accept the weight penalty.

    Legal restrictions on selling canoes built from plans?

    I thought I'd poke around on this and first I found was https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap13.html which immediatly stated: (2) Vessel features.—The design of a vessel hull, deck, or combination of a hull and deck, including a plug or mold, is subject to protection under this chapter...

    About 10 days away. Any further thoughts on a canoetripping.net get together? I'm staying at the Home2Suites if anyone wants breakfast company there.

    It is a white powdery substance after all.

    Nido is a basic for my canoe and backpacking trips. Walmart was going to be my suggestion. None in stores near me - maybe because I'm in Canadian border. :) More likely because of very small Hispanic population.

    Bannock Sacrilege

    Buying it at Trader Joe's is so easy though. And so many other good things there to take camping. I have a bakepacker but honestly like my jello mold oven more. Crusty outsides and top. Cakes, muffins, biscuits, and even pizza - though a little calzone like. I did a trip with Chicago Red from...

    Just read that they are speculating it will become permanent.

    New batch of No. 3 packs

    Very beautiful. I'm impressed. Unfortunately, well stocked on CCS and some Kondos at 72, so not planning on acquiring much new gear.
