I had a nosey moose checking out my skis the other day. As soon as he saw me on the porch he made a bee line towards me. Moose usually...

Nice archive dredging. I've been considering a barrel but I haven't had that many issues finding trees to hang the bag in and I dislike...

Glad I stumbled across this mention from almost a decade ago. Even a 30L barrel is monstrously oversized for the type of food I pack...

I don't use decks (extra weight IMO and I'm already disadvantaging myself by using heavier woods) but I suppose the purple could find...

Who knew getting my back broke and shoulder separated would make me so weak? It’s like nothing ever seen before. Some people are...

I went and did a sunrise paddle and used it as a "shakedown". It exposed a couple of leaks on the very bottom of the hull...

I also lift and row quite a bit. The lifting is something I’ve done for 25 years. I just added the rowing a couple years ago when I had...
