I won a pair of keens at canoecopia and was looking at these. I've worn Chota Caney Forks with Smart wool socks for years. Anybody wear or have tried the Arroyo II? Thanks!

I see Mountainman has announced Paddle fest 2025. May 16 to 18 in Old Forge. Might just go down, find someplace to camp, and look at gear.

This looks interesting. Stability of their prospector and efficiency of their Keewaydin.

Just wanted to share an article on removing the dams along the Klamath River. Warning - long. But interesting. Now will go try to find if it's canoeable. https://hakaimagazine.com/features/the-other-side-of-the-worlds-largest-dam-removal/

Just a reminder if you're planning on attending Canoecopia 2025, Match 7-9, hotel rooms are going fast. Great event with many manufacturers. I'm probably 15 years without missing one, and attended some before that.

Seems like a good price at $300. https://www.facebook.com/share/t8mmEe7PLBvDzRGE/?mibextid=kL3p88

Going on (2) NFCT work weekends and took dump cake ingredients last year. I've always made dump cake with 1 large can of pie filling, 1 box cake mix, and a stick of butter. Just checking online recipies and finding variations to include 1 or 2 cans of filling, 3 to 12 tablespoons of butter...

Paddlefest 2024 seems like it is a little bigger than last year, though not at the beach like pre-pandemic. Seems like a lot of the manufacturers, maybe trying to get over the post pandemic boom slowing. https://mountainmanoutdoors.com/pages/paddlesports-adirondack-paddlefest Maybe they could...

Seemed like good price.

The Northern Forest Canoe Trail has just posted this summer's trips. Two years I've done these - 2 each year - and have really enjoyed them. Late Friday arrival, mid Sunday departure. Registration commences Monday. Based on past years, they are full within a few days, though I think there are...

Should have posted this earlier but do be it. This is put on by Save the River. I attended last year's on the spur of the moment and really enjoyed it. I can't say how useful it was but I learned a lot. Recommended. Can just show up and register on site...

Thought I share this. I am a member of Friends of Wabakimi, but believe this is open to all. Wabakimi Canoe Rangers TONIGHT, Wednesday, Jan 17, 2024 6:00 p.m. CST, 7:00 p.m. EST updated Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87404096386?pwd=cGNmL29LT1JEbFpXMk1ydUVWV1l5UT09 Meeting ID: 874...

Just 99 days. Made a hotel reservation. Looking forward to it. Next best place to be after in a canoe.

A little late but this year's auction ends tonight at midnight - eastern I presume. Saw an Esquif prospector 16 currently at just over half of list...

This is an interesting twist. Anyone signing up? US Canoe Force? https://abcnews.go.com/International/ukrainian-special-forces-combat-kayaks-fight-russian-army/story?id=103411391

With someone I met at a NFCT work weekend, we assembled at Cranberry Lake Campground Friday, for an Oswegatchie trip Saturday. Rain was predicted all weekend but held off till Sunday around 4:00 am, so lucked out. Campground showed nearly full on rec.gov but was maybe half full. Nice place...

I hope everyone is staying dry. I imagine a lot of folk here are in the heavy rain area. Saw more than 8" in an hour along lower Hudson. Not sure Vermont is doing better.

Both tents not used in a year and shock cord is shot. Anyone know size and length needed for a Copper Spur 3? Same question, Eureka Timberline 4? And can I reuse the stoppers or need new? Thanks!

This coming weekend I'lk be with NFCT crew on Valcor Island working camp sites and following weekend on Upper Saranac improving Indian Carry. Wondered if anyone else here has joined there volunteer crews. I did 2 weekends 2 years ago around Grand Falls. Built a bridge, landing, and a campsite...
