Interesting post. We owned 2 Trippers over a 30 year period, and they were true workhorses on long wilderness adventures. A young man's canoe, as they were as heavy as they were indestructible. The only mod we made was painting the interior floor and adding sand over the wet paint as an...

If you can fish out of an empty Argosy, then you can fish out of almost any canoe. I've had 2 Argos and found them stable when loaded, but not so unloaded. I've seen Robin fish out of one empty often, and he did not seem uncomfortable. I sold both of mine as age now demands a lighter solo boat...

No idea, but I miss her posts and knowledge of watercraft. G.

I've scared off wolves, intent on getting to my dog, with bear bangers. G.

Wondering if the ducks hunters had a retriever with them. I had a similar experience in La Vérendrye in August of 2009. The wolves were not interested in me, it's my dog they were after. Apparently they don't accept dogs trespassing on their territory. I succeeded in repelling them with a bear...

Now that's a sweet tent. Perfect for paddle in campsite. Enjoy. G.

It seems that both father and son raced canoes at one time. Stopped producing canoes circa 2017 when a fire took the shop down to the ground. Stopped making paddles as of August the 8th. of this year. A couple of models on this page...

It has finally happened. Canoe camping without the motorized fishermen. Yep, LV has extended the canoe season this year by 3 weeks. https://www.sepaq.com/rf/lvy/nouvelles/nouvelle.dot?id=375fdad6-082b-4c6a-9001-a460602a5c5f&language_id=1 G.

memaquay said: Same here in Québec province. When I first started canoeing in La Vérendrye in the early 70's. We would see moose every day, even in the most southern part. Now from the Le Domaine south it's almost exclusively deer. Some say it has to do with all the clear cut logging over the...

I've had both Foresters and Outbacks since they became available in Canada. I prefer the Outback because of the lower profile which, with the same engine, gives better gas mileage, comes with built-in roof racks and is easier to put a canoe on. G.

I have a 22 Outback and had a 2014 before that. Same rack. Have had up to 60 lbs + canoes tied down securely with a piece of carpet under each contact point, plus I use 2 hood loops which keep the canoe pointed straight ahead by removing any front lateral side wind stress. At max speed limits...

Expedition Kevlar? G.

I think it's some kind of lipoma, an accumulation of fat that forms a cushion over time to protect the bones of the spine. I had one remove from my lower spine in my younger years that the doc said was caused by siting all day at school, my spine rubbing constantly against the back of a wooden...
