This is unprecedented. Never in the history of discussion forums has an administrator had to decide about the legality of a hijack of a tangent of a tangent of an off-topic thread . . . punctuated by felonious torturing of the Xenforo profanity filter . . . uttered by a Nova Scotian posing as an...

I know copyright law. I used to practice and teach it. I can't and don't give legal advice on the internet, but I'm just trying to ascertain some facts by asking about the presence or absence of a copyright notice. I have that Pat Moore tape somewhere, but I can't find it to look at it myself.

Whoever could have predicted a dopey nuclear war thread would go off on a tasty pasty tangent. Good job, good sports!

Is there a copyright symbol or word with a name and date anywhere on the box, the physical tape, or in the content of the tape (usually in the opening or closing credits)? Something like "© 1999 Patrick Moore" or "Copyright 1999 Patrick Moore".

Jim, welcome to site membership! Feel free to ask any questions and to post messages, photos and videos, and to start threads, in our many forums. Please read Welcome to CanoeTripping and Site Rules! Also, because canoeing is a geographic sport, please add your location to the Account Details...

Tom, this seems to be a problem isolated to just one user, you. AI suggests the following, which I don't understand completely: ***************** A slow or non-existent click response for a single user on a XenForo site is likely caused by browser-specific issues, browser extension conflicts...

. . . what happens when you are hut challenged.

Yes, although the air will be darn cold. But won't the water be frozen? No, not if the water is salty enough. What water? How about the ocean? Nah, it's only about 3.5% salt and we all know it freezes at about 29° F (-2° C). So we better find some really salty lakes. How about the Great Salt...

The feature we're talking about is not new. It's been a standard, stabilized feature designed and incorporated into U.S. solo and even tandem canoes for at least 45 years. I've started a thread about the history of this "shoulder" feature HERE.

@Gamma1214, in his Bloodvein II build thread, recently sawed off a protuberant strip along the edge or corner where the top of the hull sharply bends in so as to narrow the gunwale beam. Thereupon, his build thread began to diverge into a discussion as to what this feature is called. Candidates...

Having never built nor woodworked anything, I don't comprehend much of the building techniques you guys discuss. But I like to look at the pictures . . . and . . . I can dabble at being a PIA about canoe terminology. What is being cut is not the chine, which is where the bottom of the canoe...

GIJane, welcome to the site. It usually works the other way. Serious interest is stimulated by pictures, a reasonable price, and a reasonable driving distance for buyers. There is likely to be interest for this model canoe in Maine. You will have more success here and in other places if you...

Gorgeous build, Bentpushrod! Truly a boat to treasure for a lifetime. I also like your vehicle. A full-size van conversion was my canoe and camping vehicle for 40 years, but my current one is ancient and busted.

Not my situation. This is my canoeing program in my ninth decade: I drive hundreds of miles to watery places in in the Adirondacks, New Jersey or northern New England. When I get there, I base camp out of a tent in commercial campgrounds or trailer parks, from which I do different day paddles...

Tom, I saw and saved those poles in my Amazon cart along with these AVOFOREST ones, which I tentatively like a bit better because the removable top bulb is bigger, the tops of the poles have additional eyes to tie guy lines, and they are rated for 10 pounds more force. They also seem to come...

Not necessarily. I wouldn't assume that all Yellowstones that shipped from, or were photographed by, Bell had the seat in identical positions. Your measurement shows the seat further back than @eckilson's 3 inch measurement, but that doesn't mean his seat was placed "properly" by the factory...

Gadabyte, your picture measurements are of a composite Bell Wildfire. The OP, @John B, has a Royalex Bell Wildfire, later renamed the Bell Yellowstone, which is a different-shaped hull than the composite Wildfire. @eckilson measured his Bell Yellowstone. @stevet measured his composite Bell...

Well, the only thing "real" about measurements is that's where the factory put the seat. It doesn't mean the factory position is ideal for all paddlers, or all paddling postures (sitting, kneeling off the front edge, kneeling from further back on the seat), or all trim preferences. Three inches...

Neophyte, congrats on your newly outfitted Trillium and single blade paddle purchases. An experienced single blading canoeist in a 14.5' recreational hull will never be able to keep up with experienced double bladers in touring seakayaks. Don't. You will learn virtually nothing about riding...
