Mike, no I don't have and IQ system but the shape of that solo bow skirt seems perfect. I know I could modify the attachment mechanisms

I love using a fixed blade knife but hate everything else about them. Wearing them, finding them in a pack if you don't wear it, etc. I have an embarrassing collection of knives but 5 or so years ago I switched to this Benchmade Griptillian. Now it's the only thing I use for work, everyday...

These things weight 8-15 pounds and I'm supposed to be worried about the weight of just my canoe?LOL Any piece of gear has more value if it has dual purpose. Anchors?

Mike,I somehow missed this thread! Does anyone know of a source for this cover? The Mad River site is terrible.

Jealous, that looks nice

^^^^Thanks for the info, the search continues....

Back in the late 80s I was leading a caving trip. A couple of new students tagged along. I told them I didnt know exactly where the cave entrance was but they could come along and help find it. All I had was longitude and latitude and a topo map. This was pre-GPS. The entrance was a glorified...

$%$&! My truck is in the shop, so I can't go out for lunch. I'm stuck at work and now all I can think about is ham and pancakes!

For better or worse, I use online reviews and you tube videos consistently to determine quality. It's almost as good as having an item in your hands

Have to agree, on many backpacking and overnight paddle trips, a Sierra cup is the only thing I take for cooking. No moving parts, lids, carry bags, etc. The only decision in the morning is if I want coffee or oatmeal first;)

Agree, union is a trigger word I should not have used, but I stand by my experience that i see a stronger work ethic among low wage green card workers. The "People making $3 a day" are not the problem.

My dad used one of these but I never picked it up. I just found this video, pretty dang simple

My experience in manufacturing for many, many years is that western workers, protected by unions and HR departments have the worst work ethic. They feel as if are owed a job. I've worked with manufacturers that use green card entry level workers and they are the hardest workers I've seen...

Nice but 3k is too much for my use. I only use the canoe for overnight and weekend trips. Else it’s kayaks. Never have or will portage. I appreciate the ideas. Mad River solo freedom or guide or whatever they’re calling it seems to meet my specs. It had some rocker and is not flat but I...

Does it the 59 pound weight matter once it’s in the water or just for carrying it?

May to let this idea go. Spec says”minimal” rocker

Class2 with random 3 sections is probably the limit for me realistically in a canoe. I’m keeping my WW kayak for anything else. Maybe I need to try some small tandems

Is “crummy “ a pro or a con? Lol. I like how small it is. I’d never consider a new tandom. All the used boats near are me large cheep tandems. I read probably all the online reviews for the Next and agree no one says anything bad. How would this compare to other solos? I want something for class...

Anybody have one? Do you like it? Pros/Cons? Its on sale near me for ~$800

I’m not scared
