Thank you, Steve. Indeed I once tried to do some "stand up paddling" in my ACDC, but I am afraid it would be a long way until I'd be able to do some poling in it. But that would be the case in almost any boat, I guess :rolleyes: The AC/DC is not a little, but a whole lot more sporty than the...

Did you sit or kneel? If you prefer sitting, lowering the seats a bit might help.

Wysedav, did you have this beauty out on the water already? Very impressive build, looks great. I am really curious about your impressions!

Great nature, great attitude, great filming - and a darn cool canoe trolley!

Jim, not really a canoe full. A Tentipi with 5,3m diameter and 3,1m height weights around 14kg in polycotton. Sure, compared to a lightweight plastic tent this is a lot - but being able to use a tent stove to get the moisture out is well worth it. Going for a trip with lots of portages though, I...

Over here (Germany) so called Nordic Tipis (made of poycotton) are quite common when it comes to canoeing, often combined with a wood stove: http://www.juergenborris.de/bilder-b...er-tipi-lager/ http://www.g-o-c.de/berichte/1185-wintertour-ognon-2015

You forgot your canoe :eek: ;)

Charlie, are you using cross forward strokes while tripping / touring on flat water? To me cross strokes are some kind of awkward still, so I use them only on rivers - and even then, only when it is really unfavorable to loose a bit of speed.

Haha, yes, this "technique" seems to work well for bow paddlers! But from your pics I see you've learned from it and put your wife in her own boat :D My son will learn how to solo this weekend, we'll see if he hangs on to it. Regarding camping: In Germany you're not allowed to just put your...

No Title Errr...I just wanted to put a picture here. The seat screw has not become loose - I raised the seats for better kneeling and missed to cut them :rolleyes: There is a cap at the end of the screw - maybe you thought this would be the nut? Regarding the "trip" - it was more some kind...

From Germany, on the river Weser.

Hope Robin doesn't regret verifiing my account, as I am posting serious OT here... Canotrouge, being located in northern Germany the next WWIII is far away from me. I have paddled my Prospector through some II+, but the AC/DC has just seen moving water and the one or other ledge or shorter...

Steve, these are really cool and very impressive clips - thank you! As you mentioned to be interested in the AC/DC: I am have one since last year, after paddling a NC Prospector (15,6 SP3) a few years. Once I tried a NC 16' Prospector in RX light, but found that to be even more sluggish than...
