    Nominations for Sticky Topics

    Glenn, thanks for the tip on sorting, in a particular forum, with the filter function, for number of replies and other parameters. I had looked at the filter function previously, but did not see or appreciate functionality of the parameters.

    Ms. Mihun09: My apologies. One would think I could remember that after 2265 posts by you.

    Nominations for Sticky Topics

    Glenn, for all of that, I can only hope that Ms. Mihun09, and Mr. Gage for that matter, two valuable contributors to the site, will take me at my word about my intention. There is probably some way, unknown to me, for the administrator to search the threads by most responses/or and most views...

    DIY No-Sewing Spray Covers

    "I would not use Dual Lock for most spray cover applications. Next DIY cover will use only snaps, spaced 12” or so apart." I appreciate this. I was seriously considering trying a dual lock cover. Moreover, I did not use the prism spray cover much, in large part because of the fuss. Spacing...

    Nominations for Sticky Topics

    I appreciate the strong opinions expressed, and that folks are invested in the quality of the site. Mr. McCrea, I forgot that I had made sticky the “RIP Photos and Memorial” thread. Thanks for pointing that out. I made that thread sticky in lieu of making this topic its own subforum. I hope...

    Nominations for Sticky Topics

    Users may have noticed that I have marked several threads as "sticky." For example, the Nokomis Build thread, in the Paddlecraft Construction subforum, is marked "sticky". Marking a thread "sticky" means that the thread stays at the top of the subforum, regardless of other threads in that...

    Any new "Toys" for Christmas?

    Santa brought me a Sea to Summit Dry mesh duffle. They've been discontinued for a while, but the Elves worked their magic. High quality. Should last a while. I cannot understand why wet/dry bags are so hard to find anymore. I find them especially convenient for day trips from a base camp. I...

    How long is your streak?

    I'd say 25 years tripping, in the Adirondacks mostly, but, like Doug, things get a bit blurry in a hurry when we start talking decades. Interesting to hear others' responses.

    Recommend a coffee maker? I'm done bearing a heavy thermos

    Guys, I truly appreciate your protective instinct for the forum, but let's not be too quick in jumping to conclusions. Sarah's introductory post was most agreeable. While it is common courtesy to acknowledge when people respond to one's question here, Sarah might just be too caught up in the...

    Hornbeck Canoes/Peter Hornbeck

    Who will replace all these talented boomers who so effectively and passionately promoted canoes, wilderness, etc.? I always thought it sad that his nomination to the APA was blocked.
