Saute rather than deep-fry will use a lot less oil.
For cooking on a grill: pre-heat and oil the grill, dry the fish and coat with a bit of oil; be patient, a more solidly cooked fish will be less likely to stick and separate; roll rather than lift to turn. Heard a suggestion to cook over...
Just posted a couple of days ago - Mike McCrae on another site, Thule compatible INNO bars at 65", 71", 79" long:

Looked up equivalent on amazon.ca --- $470 CDN!!! compared to $100 US
It is a good point to reinforce - initial tenderness does not mean that you are going to constantly tip a canoe. It is the response to changes in position. A tender boat is a responsive boat, find and maintain your balance points and the boat will reward you for it...just keep your head in the...
I would worry that the deeper arc would force your thighs into the centre, less lateral movement possible. Better more elliptical rather than circular curve?
The over ride key on the Saw Stop may work for this scenario but I think it only serves to bypass the conductivity sensors...not sure if the sensors detect the width of the blade or just the distance between blade and brake. There are wider cartridges available for dado stacks but again I think...
Not that any of us want or need new tools:
...but these multi-tools do a really nice job of getting into tight spaces like those interior stems pretty smoothly.
Not trying to stray off topic. OP was getting a good cup of coffee with press but found cleaning and transporting spent grounds inconvenient in some situations.
I just noticed that some of the options presented generated more waste from packaging (as well as resource consumption in initial...
So, to poke a bit, what is worse? Some coffee grounds dug into the ground from a good cup of coffee or countless bags, k-cups, plastic wrappers, bags and jars, pre-mixed Asian sourced milk products carried home and sent to the landfill?
Solo tripping usually keeps one a lot busier with camp chores on site. Some prefer instant meals, metal gadgets for fastening tarps, hammocks etc. I sometimes like the slow methodical process of meal prep and site set up, getting the knots just right etc.
Noises can be disconcerting but the...
Anchors held same way in Kevlar/laminate but the appropriate epoxy (likely gel-flex for the vinyl) to the abraded hull rather than vinyl adhesive.
Barrels will provide flotation because they contain air and will take on minimal water when in the water (hopefully). They will displace water...
Well, the post is "boats", apologies for the kayaks.
Our vehicles seem to get smaller as the family gets bigger. We used to be able to get a full 5 day trip into a Mazda 5 mini-van. 2 kids, 2 adults, one canoe, food and shelter.
Now the boys each paddle a kayak and my wife and I paddle the...
Enamel works fine over a fire. It was applied with heat in the manufacturing process so, theoretically could melt off if hot enough (1300*F on a wood fire?) but I have consistently used my enamelled plates as frying pans and mugs as pots with no damage.
Why bother removing the rest of the...
Strap yoke.
Instead of a removable wooden yoke that needs to be installed, uninstalled, stored, carried etc. Necessary because central seat leaves no room for a permanent yoke.
Oldtyme - sounds like you might be looking for used Osprey, Shearwater or more river oriented SRT, MRC Guide/Freedom. Northwind Solo or Phoenix from Northstar might fit too, fewer likely to be found used though. There seems to be a range of older MRC boats like your Destiny - I am less familiar...
As per the strap yoke:
Not the least expensive option at 1 3/4" and $43 CDN, but would seem to meet all requirements:
A bit more "rattley" but wouldn't a climbing carabiner work too?...
I simply use cord on the aft thwart to hold my paddle blades and straps for the shafts at the fore thwart...
A knot that size definitely will not affect performance. Possibly only became visible as material removed during construction. No point in filling it, especially on an oiled blade, epoxy would eventually fail.
Good bait for the crowd here to discuss but really a question for the maker. What...
Just finished this:
Several stories interwoven within the book. The body of a canoeist is found with the contact information of a journalist in his belongings. The journalist then pieces together the life and possible last days of the gregarious "homeless" traveler.
