The owner of a UK paddleboard company, which could just as easily have been a canoe company, was convicted of gross negligence manslaughter and imprisoned for 10.5 years in Wales for failing to warn four now-dead customers of the hazards of a low head dam (weir). Here's a short AP article...

I'm going to move the interesting but tangential discussion of the Savage River Blackwater solo canoe to its own thread HERE. Continue on with the original general topic.

I'm going to move the discussion of the Savage River Blackwater solo canoe to its own thread—this one.

This is a very different kind of picture and I like it a lot, but the text looks like phone typos and has puzzled me. Is it supposed to read "Cabin and canoes at"? If so, I'll fix it.

From the Wayback Machine, here is that essay in its original 1978 Wilderness Camping magazine format complete with pictures, which I've posted before: https://web.archive.org/web/20000903010940/http://www.moorecanoeing.com/sportcanoeing/solomystique.html I recall the same information from...

This 1981 Canoe Magazine essay by Mike Galt is a poetic paean to solo canoeing, replete with many classic Galt-isms: "Solo. Alone. But never lonely." "The solo canoe: a light, slender form in utter symphony with wind and wave." "An activity where men and women are equal. On the solo path...

My view is that there is no such thing as an ascertainable a priori "market" for a used canoe, unlike commodities that are sold in the millions every day such as stocks, bonds and real estate. Perhaps I should clarify by saying that I don't think either canoe has an unreasonable asking price...

Bpr, thanks much for sharing your project and pictures. Have you decided which of your gear will go in the large wannigan and which will go in something else?

I don't know about that. The MR Explorer is no longer made so there is no new price comparator to the $1400 ask. The MR layup is surely stronger than a modern Swift layup and it has no foam core like a Swift or Wenonah. A new Wenonah Spirit II Flexcore lists at $3,749 USD at Piragis. Plus $300...

Yes, water surrounded by mountains is the best scenic experience. And dry banks for landing and camping.

"If you were to drop a pin in the center of Curry County, Oregon, along the border of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, you would be able to reach five waterways designated as U.S. Wild and Scenic Rivers within 40 miles of each other—the Rogue, Illinois, Chetco, Smith, and Elk rivers...

Yes, the condition is a factor, which can only really be ascertained by a knowledgeable inspection. I would also recommend getting the HIN numbers for the two canoes. You can get a manufacture date by plugging in the HIN on the following website: https://hindecoder.com/

"Paddlers planning to venture into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness this summer need to make alternative plans if they had hoped to pick up their permits at the Kawishiwi ranger station in Ely and the Gunflint station in Grand Marais. "The Forest Service notified permit holders via...

I bought a reproduction Morris wood/canvas canoe in 2022 and found I couldn't lift it on top of my car, much less my full size van, which is has been my usual canoe vehicle for 20+ years. So, I had had to look for a trailer. I like the kind with which canoes can be carried upside-down, and I...

David Lee has scores of excellent videos on YouTube, mostly canoeing but also backpacking, snowshoeing and winter camping. Among his videos is a two-season series of videos called "The Portage Project", which features a team of women tripping in Canada and which I'll start at new thread about HERE.

My 1997 Dodge van conversion, which has been my canoe vehicle and mobile home since 2002, only has 130,000 miles. However, the resident mice haven't let me inside for about 18 months, and last winter a tree fell on it and crushed my rack tower. I wonder if the old gas guzzler will even start...

Great canoeists here, but Sherlock Holmes' job is safe.
