Not by our home but Culver’s in the Midwest has great food and their fresh custard is fantastic.

The last thing I would be interested in is canoeing if there was a full on nuclear war.

Don’t pay to demo anything. Imagine going into a car dealership and they say it will be $xxxxx dollars to demo and if you purchase they will apply to the purchase!!! Ridiculous!

How about a Nemo Victory Screen Room . We like ours.

Bill, I want one!

Glen, this is what Hilleberg recommended for the Tarp 10 I purchased from them. https://hilleberg.com/eng/products/accessories/special-poles

Interesting, tonight’s local news was talking about dead fish being found in local ponds and the lack of oxygen due to the ice. Don’t remember that when I was growing up , many many many years ago.

I have a Trillium pac in Blacklight and it is very stable and maneuverable. It weighs in at 27 lbs. and is easily portaged with a yoke, whereas the Rapidfire needs to be modified to use a portage yoke. The Trillium is DY’s 6th and recent rendition of the Fire series. Great canoe.

TMI🤭

On my Subaru Outback, the factory rack is terrible for hauling canoes. I had to find a foot that allowed me to use my Thule square bars and the INNO feet did that but angled the bars. The rack carries the boats just fine.

When I was a kid out in the country, the county had Walter’s Snow Figher snow plows made in Voorheesville, NY. to handle the heavy snow falls.

We received NOTHING, yea!

Robbie Frenette from Raquette River Outfitters showed my wife an easy way to get the boat on her shoulders. He just rolled the boat over on the ground pick up the nose of the boat and just walked backwards until the yoke was on his shoulders. No putting the boat to her hip then hoisting it up on...

One of the problems with the fabric yokes is that they lay on your neck and your head is up inside the boat. The nice thing about the yokes that yknpdlr and I use is that the weight is carried on our shoulders and your head isn’t up inside the boat. Easy on easy off.

Now in my mid 70’s we started using portage yokes. My Northstar Trillium is easy but my wife’s Placidboat Oseetah was a challenge until I came up with this solution.
