Just putting this one on the radar for next year. Don't have any chickens but I'm sure I can find some. https://www.drinkingwithchickens.com/blog/national-drinking-with-chickens-day

I've got eight bikes, but used to have a lot more. And I've got six revolvers, which take up much less space. My latest is a stainless single action 357 that I got as a retirement present for myself. And I might be looking at yet another bike in the next few days, assuming it doesn't sell.

Not much help, but swamps have trees while marshes don't. Just saw an infographic to that effect a few days ago so I can't vouch for the veracity, but it makes sense to me.

Similar blade to the "official" coast guard knife, also by Spyderco, which is federally restricted as a switchblade. https://spyderco.com/products/c165g-autonomy%E2%84%A2 I recall my uncle had one similar from the 60s, also a switchblade, that also had a hook-like blade sharpened on the...

Not exactly canoe related, but I thought I'd share for fun. Just finished a 5 day bike trip on the Great Allegeny Passage rail trail and C&O Canal towpath from Pittsburg to DC. All my companions brought bikepacking setups, which are various bags strapped onto the frame of the bike. Not a lot...

Vacation morning ritual. Coffee on the water.

After the Gunn Trophy. http://www.ottertooth.com/keewaydin/awards/award_gunn.htm

On vacation this week at our place on Lake Fairlee (but in town feeding the cats today), 4 docks up from Ohana where some of you may remember the Paddlers and SnowWalkers gathering is held. A week of biking and paddling in the AM followed by PM family time for me. This is at the...

Speaking of Outrages, my son was recently gifted this. It was gifted to the previous owner as well so I expect it is in rough shape, but its a start. Maiden voyage for it with him today I think. Guess he'll see if it floats. He's been borrowing boats, so hopefully this will make it easier...

Something like this? https://www.rei.com/product/829881/therm-a-rest-z-seat-pad

Have been planning to put a footbar in my Echo, so thanks for the reminder to move that more to the front burner. Definitely a little tight under the seat for kneeling. Re: Wildfire/Echo comparison, I don't have firsthand knowledge (or much seat time at all in it yet) but the Happy Paddln'...

I'd try WD-40 first. Widely available even at convenience stores and such.

Not a wilderness package (and a 2021, not 2020 -- my bad). It was a Sport package (with the 2.5l engine), but I don't think the rails were included as part of that package. And no swing plastic crossbars on it either. Just rails. Seeing more and more vehicles with euro rails, and have them...

I had rails on my 2020 Crosstrek and put Yakima crossbars on. The rails weren't on all Crosstreks or other models, but were certainly an option.

Agree with ppine. Good hull and worth saving. Miss ours in rx, but wanted something lighter so it had to go.
