We are approaching the usual time of year for the Canoe Tripping fundraiser.
For newer members, who may not be aware, Canoe Tripping is wholly self-supported; no advertisements, no shilling of products, no sugar-daddy with deep pockets; just us making a once a year donation that pays for the site-hosting fees, licensing and IT support.
Part of the fundraiser in years past has been a raffle of member donated items, and an accompanying video of the random draw of winner’s names. While the financial contributions are what keeps Canoe Tripping ad-free, the assorted raffle prizes are a chance to share, and the accompanying video always enjoyable in the community watch spirit.

So that the prizes do not need to be mailed twice, and to reduce the admin responsibilities and cost, the donor simply mails the prize directly to the winner after an exchange of names and addresses.
If you would like to donate a fundraiser prize post your offering to this thread and, if DaveO agreeable, I will post/update a running list of the awards and donors.
I’ll start the ball rolling with two prize offerings:
#1, two yards of heat sealable fabric, dark blue Packcloth enough to make several dry bags in various shapes and sizes. Custom DIY dry bags (make your own)

#2, a red canoe overhang flag with reflective tape, and a multi-colored flag to hang on the tarp as a windsock, or at the water’s edge to mark your site.

(Yeah, there is some high-intensity reflective tape on that flag as well, in case I need to find my campsite in the dark)
