I believe I'd go for the Mad River because of the rough water. Just my two cents.

I've still got and use my old Germany Solingen camping knife that I've had since college in 1967. I can still remember the day I got it, paid the outlandish price of $ 2.00 for it. Hard to sharpen but when you do it keeps an edge forever.

Wow, you got some great info there Tsuga8. Noelcanoedad and Gamma1214 has about all you need to know to get started. There was stuff in there even I didn't know. Great job.

I'd go with the Clarion. Allegheny seems too busy for me. Just my two cents.

One of my favorites that can apply to many things in life. "Love many, trust few, always paddle your own canoe"

I saw a video with Kevan Callan the Happy Camper that used one. I guess they must work😀. It would be interesting to see, I think a field test and report is in order.

I keep hoping for Spring, but still late Winter conditions here in North central Penna. Really need to get on the water again.

Thanks for the update. I'll be reading up on these and hopefully I'll be able to make one.

Really enjoyed your video, thanks for posting.

We had an excellent scout troop. Our Scoutmaster was a local WW2 hero to us young boys, that not only taught us outdoor skills but what it meant to be a family man, good citizen and member of society.

The old timers are always telling the younger generation how it was so much colder back when they were a kid. Is this true or just a bunch of talk? What do you think? Our weatherman had some interesting information about this this morning. He went back and counted the total number of days...

2024 was a good year for me. I was able to check off items on my trip list, making 8 multi-day trips to the Adirondacks. Now that I have a canvas wall tent and stove I hope to get an early start this Spring.

Good Luck on your trip, it sounds like a trip I have been planning and wanting to do all my life. I will be watching for your trip reports.

Nice trip report. Thanks for sharing.

The Lows Lower Dam repair project has been taking longer than expected, has anyone heard when it might reopen. Weather forecasters predict a warmer than usual Fall. Would be nice to squeeze in a quick trip.
