    CCS Lean Stove Jack Mod

    Has any one modified their CCS Lean shelter to accept a silicone stove jack? I think this would be an awesome combo for hunting season paddling.

    Hey all, I'm thinking about buying a new canoe and I am worried that I am going to end up damaging the hull at some point. What's the best technique and material for returning the damage to factory new condition?

    Blue Steel Layup Inspection / Repair Advice

    Thanks for looking in. I will be picking up a Nova Craft SuperNova next week. It is in their Blue Steel layup, which is a combination of Kevlar, carbon, and polypropylene. I believe this may be my ideal boat, a reasonably light solo river tripper for a very substantial man. I am buying used...

    White River, Indiana Overnighter

    Swift Seats in a Non-Swift Boat

    I just ordered a Swift new-contour seat to put in my Old Town Discovery 164. It will be replacing a standard ash caned unit. I poked around Canoecopia this year and decided that Swift definitely had the best design. It's wide like me, has ample webbing, and has the angled front for kneeling...

    New Guy From Indiana

    Hi, I'm Michael from central Indiana. I trip with my son, nothing longer than nine days so far. We usually paddle slow river systems, but want to get a couple trips to the BWCA in before he turns 18. We were all set to go for 12 days September 2021, but they closed our entry point 10 days before...
