    Bell Floatation Tank Relief Valve Repair/Replacement Question

    My Flashfire has cut-off relief plugs for the floatation tanks, evidently glued in. Maybe the previous owner thought this was an upgrade. The plug in the picture is something I picked up at a hardware store long ago. It is solid, but perhaps I could drill or burn a hole in it. You can sort...

    Glenn requests that we turn on multi-quote by changing the switch from No to Yes.

    Glenn wrote in another thread: "Now that DaveO has experience with the Message Posting and Editing Options page, how about turning on multi-quote by changing the switch from No to Yes. This enables a poster to quote more than one previous poster that he or she wants to reply to. Otherwise, those...

    Two tone, red accents, would be distinctive.

    Getting in and out of the boat: Canoe vs Pack Boat

    The link to the video by Teaching Drum Outdoor School, posted by Duct Tape above, is interesting, as are the comments, which are overly snarky. I got to say, I really liked, in principle, the technique demonstrated for getting in and out of a pack boat to a low flat shoreline with a steep drop...

    ABS Penobscot canoe price

    My sense has been, generally, October through February is the best time to be a buyer, which of course makes sense. Bargains can pop up anytime, but you have to be quick on the draw, and ready to travel with cash. Search tempest is a good resource. I have not been a buyer for a while, so not...

    Mr. Birch: I too hate, hate, hate auto-correct, but I thought, incorrectly as it turns out, that my perspective on it might add some levity. Your contributions are most valued. My apologies for any worry or bother caused.

    Video: Last Days

    Good choice to not add music. Just the waves slapping the hull, and other sounds, and lack of sounds, as you experienced it.

    PS: I always liked zippos but for the leakage problem. The EDC Peanut sounds very interesting. BB: I really liked the term "squirrel best material" when I first read it. Reading further, I realized you probably meant "squirrel nest material". How about even better, "squirrel best nest...

    3M Dual Lock—Q's & A's and Tests for Canoe Uses

    I am intrigued as well. It is starting to make a lot of sense for sliding seat, partial spray decks, etc., but still, there is a lot of force generated against those components. I wonder about the lasting power of peel and stick adhesives used in some of the offerings. I had not given it much...

    Mike, all sounds great. I am sure you can add your usual fanciful fun to the proceedings, like suspect shipping labels, as appropriate. Looking forward to it.

    Site Administrator's Update 10.16.20

    Thank you for your stated willingness to support the site financially. I would prefer to get donations all at once during the fundraiser, which I am tentatively planning for early next year. We have enough funds remaining to get us through until then, barring something unforeseen happening.

    Spray skirt attachments for Northstar Trillum canoe

    I installed a CCS snap-on-cover roughly twenty years ago, on a Prism flex-core. I installed it in the dead of winter with very low relative humidity, and consequently, there were only one or two spots that I sometimes had to splash, to get it on. I especially liked having the front cover to...
