    Can you side sleep in a hammock?

    One can sleep in any position with this hammock/tent. The mat is held tight by force multiplying climbing strength webbing, and is quite stable and taut. The tent is capable of being used on the ground as a 'normal' tent if there are no trees around. One downside is that I don't think anyone...

    Show us pictures of your canoe vehicle with boat(s)

    These guys may not be water-ready for a while... 2 Old Town 50# (that's a model name, not their weight) from 1927 and 1938!

    𝑺𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆, 𝒃𝒓𝒖𝒎𝒆 𝒆𝒕 𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒆 by Marc André Pauzé (https://marcpauze.net/)

    Poetic, and captures the indescribable "je ne sais quoi" that comes with wood/canvas canoes and less-travelled places. Thanks for posting.

    C1 detachable bench seat and ratchet thigh straps

    Wow, that canoe-shaped-object is a C1? Far cry from my experience many years ago in the Berry C1.

    Hello from MA

    Welcome, and share a picture of your canoe in action perhaps.

    Campfire Pizza

    How about this? It’s essentially a pizza turnover in a pan.

    dang Glenn.... how did I not do the unfurling link properly? I even re-read the instructions!

    Lows Lake and Bog River Flow ADKs May 2025

    Nice report Al, I'm jealous. A combination of broken wrist for me, and my wife's post surgery care has kept me away from anything canoe related other than hiking up to the barn to look wistfully at my new wood/canvas build project which is on hold. Your report provided a pleasant diversion...

    Triple Carry Portage techniques

    Memaquay, I have no suggestions for you, but I must say your post and humor brought a smile to an otherwise dreary day! Thanks.

    Sealine dry portage bag question

    I use the 70 liter, older version (when I'm not going traditional with a Duluth style pack). It fits all my gear including food, but it's often time consuming to get it all packed efficiently. Were I to purchase another I would get the larger version. Rather than having a hard-stuffed, rigid...

    Solo on the Light Side

    Very nicely illustrated! While strip canoes aren't my 'thing', I do follow and appreciate the technical aspects of these builds. Thanks for showing the details.

    Throwback Thursday Photos

    Thank you all for your well wishes! In the building trades there are daily aches, pains, and usually a little blood shed but this is my worst ever in over 50 years. It's sobering and makes me realize I should make some changes if I want to preserve my outdoor aims as well as my canoe...

    Throwback Thursday Photos

    Thursday photo from two Thursdays ago... I took a rapid, unscheduled descent from a work scaffold, face-first onto a driveway!!! Broken wrist (dominant hand side unfortunately), eye orbit, tooth, collarbone, and middle finger opposite hand. Those of you following my Atkinson Traveler build...

    New project... 17.5' Atkinson Traveler

    Who else gets excited by a paint delivery?!! Amazing service from Kirby's... ordered paint on March 5th, delivered to my home in PA on the 8th! And, apparently Spring is on the way based on the Snowdrops in the woods nearby. I'll be painting soon I hope.

    Wool pants

    Absolutely! I had several pair of wool knickers in that grey herringbone pattern for climbing and skiing years ago. I think my wife has them tucked away for posterity.

    National Boy Scouts Day

    It's of interest to me to read of your experiences. I was exceptionally fortunate to enter a troop with a long, colorful history. The troop's second scoutmaster was a veteran of trench warfare with the US 316th Infantry in WWI, his influence including an emphasis on military style discipline...

    National Boy Scouts Day

    Were it not for Boy Scouting, I would likely not be here enjoying this forum today! Scouting and a particularly charismatic Scoutmaster defined much of who and what I am to this day 62 years after becoming a Scout. The Scout motto, oath, and laws remain defining guideposts for me. Canoeing is...

    Allagash River, 1967 at Inlet site, Round Pond. Group shelter made from 4 US Army surplus shelter halves. Note the classic crossed paddles and the prominent flask of Jim Beam. Scoutmaster Doug liked a shot in his tea during our evening meal! Makeshift sailing rig from Army ponchos, and an...
