I don't have a dog, but my cat watches for rocks when needed.

That was a great trip, and they made a great video of it. Definitely worth watching.

I didn't even have to pull the trigger, my neighbor supplied me with quite a bit recently. He also gave me this mushroom. I cooked this up earlier in the week. I picked these honey mushrooms.

My best training paddles are the long day trips I do. Five or six hour jaunts where I sometimes push it the whole time. Poling upstream and paddling in the wind kick it up a notch. For my typical workout paddles on my lake I have been trying to get five miles in a session. I don't push it the...

This guy was in my front yard the other day.

I'm glad you got out Alan. It looks like a beautiful night. I recently realized I haven't been on an overnight trip yet this year. I think I still have time to change that.

That looks like a lot of fun and I'm a big fan of The Norther Scavenger. I've surfed ocean waves in outrigger canoes, but as part of a crew, not solo. This photo is from last summer in Hawaii. This is a double hull canoe as opposed to an outrigger. One of the hulls of this boat used to be an...

Great TR of a great destination. It brought back some memories.

The two times I needed to use satellite communication was to inform the folks at home that I would be extending my trip. It's not only for doom and gloom.

I've heard the silt on the bottom of my boat and I've heard that it will drag you down if you swim, but I'm not sure it's true. Unfortunately there are a lot of drowning deaths in remote AK. but I doubt many victims were wearing traditional fur clothing or a pfd for that matter. Maybe it would...

I think their clothes are very buoyant. I was talking with an Inupiat whale hunter a couple years ago and he told me a story where ten men went in the water when their boats capsized. None of them knew how to swim and none had PFDs, but they all survived. Their parkas are typically made from...

I like his polar bear pants. Could have had a pair made for me, but didn't have 18 grand to spare.

At least you landed yours Snapper, I would have loved to get a look at, and a picture of this guy. If I thought it might have been a state record I would have kept it, but I never got to make that decision. A guy I know that fishes that lake said a Fish & Game biologist told him there were state...

I had another good week of evening paddling. One trip was to a local lake to do some flyfishing for bass. I didn't get out until about 5PM and I didn't plan to be out after dark but had my headlamp and warm clothes just in case. I caught a couple small bass, missed one strike and lost the fish...

Marc, one more thing. Just to confirm, are you turning away from the side you're leaning towards?
