    Canoe tripping footwear

    Has anyone tried either the Simms guide boots or Kokatat Nomads? Perhaps the guide boots are too stiff. http://www.simmsfishing.com/g3-guide-boot.html http://kokatat.com/products/footwear/nomad-1.html

    ​DIY side-mount for motor on double-ender canoe?

    That really does look like the perfect motor. BTW something got fixed on the site, today, as I just received my first email notice of a new post.

    anchoring a canoe

    This arrangement seems needlessly complex and unseaworthy. I've never seen any vessel rigged to anchor in this way. I would think it to be potentially very dangerous to adjust the anchor point to or through amidships against a strong current or wind waves. Surely it would be better to setup the...

    ​DIY side-mount for motor on double-ender canoe?

    I think the 30% estimate is way high. But perhaps there is a more biodegradable oil suitable for 2-stroke pre-mix. Standard OB shaft length is 15". Normally the next longer available is 20", which is available in the 3.5 hp Tohatsu 2-stroke. I've owned both 15" and 20" versions of this motor.

    ​DIY side-mount for motor on double-ender canoe?

    My limited canoeing experience is many decades old. But my engineering and boat building experience tell me that the outboard wants to be as close to the centerline as possible, minimizing the offset motor's tendency to constantly turn the canoe in one direction, thus reducing the counter-steer...

    Bear Grease

    Growing up in Rhode Island, in the '40's and '50's, my dad always kept a jar of bear grease in the 'fridge. He'd use it to rub into sore joints and to treat dry skin on elbows and hands.

    Old Town gunwales

    I would try to get full length lumber for the gunwales, rather than scarph it.

    "Deliverance", without the sex

    Thanks. Those Quickloops are so simple, but I hope to secure it better than just the hood latch--more like the webbing. Also picked up a couple books: "The Complete Wilderness Paddler"--Davidson and Rugge and "Canoeing and Camping, Beyond the Basics"--Jacobson
