Don't worry about the crossbars. I have Yakimas, and I've been doing the slide over for many years, mostly with solo boats with aluminum gunnels.. Haven't worn them out, or put divots in them yet. Beats falling.

Can you place one end on the bars behind your car? I'd so, do that and just slide the rear end forward. I even do that on my truck pop up camper.

I thought it was impressive. I put in two of my most recent trips (Horton in NWT, and Dubawnt in Nunavut) and it showed the routes we took complete with mileage. I just have my phone now, but will further investigate in a week or so when I'm home with my desktop. It looks like a really neat tool...

The old man way:

One thing also to consider is competing interests for their time/money. Yes, decent new canoes are expensive. Yet mountain bikes start at $3000, and go up quickly to over $10,000. $5000 mountain bikes are probably most common. Road bikes now start at $5000. I haven't checked on new prices...

Get yourself some portage wheels--legal and functional for Bowron. You can also rent some heavy, non-collapsible wheels there.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm ten years older.

It's pronounced day-yed. I have a nephew (Ed) his mother called Ay-yed. His brother (Brian) was called Brine.

Try the publisher.

I remember that you did. That's why I was curious why you had asked. From my understanding, the absence of a copyright notice doesn't mean a lack of copyright protections.

Regardless, the copyright is held by the creator of the art. Unless of course it's already on the web in some site that by using you're relinquishing your reproduction rights (probably most websites, esp. Facebook, whereby joining you basically have no copyright rights). Copying the work of a...

I've used chest loads a fair bit. My solo trips, up to two weeks, are boat, day pack, and main pack. I don't like anything extra with the boat (regardless of how light they are, they're still too heavy--heavy packs I can manage). I hike my pack with paddles in each hand for added stability...

Ski shops, REI, or online Voile straps. Hardwares also have a similar Titan straps, but I prefer Voile straps, as they have more elasticity and better buckles.

I've used the Voile straps and the big rubberized twist ties. When folding the mouth over on itself, I think the Voile straps work better, as you can get a tighter fit.
