    Purple Rain my new Hemlock Eaglet

    This is correct. And only attracts more money. Hemlock canoes are great, I have one, and love it. I love innovation and all that. But what about "the little guy"? Dollars are tight, options are slim, and borders are costly. But besides that, it is a really beautiful canoe.

    Must have medical items?

    I take a semi basic first aide kit bandages,ceam and ointment, pills, ace bandage and sam splint, and a spot locating device. Also I've taken a wilderness first aide corse. Which i think every person involved in any outdoor activity should take. I agree with talking about or letting people...

    Mora knives for camp.

    I have to agree. I have a few my self and think they are just fine. The one I like is the companion. It has a hard plastic sheath with good retention and a belt clip. The blade is made of carbon steel with a scandi grind. There is a option for stainless, but the carbon is fine with minimal care...

    An afternoon on Candlewood Lake, Connecticut

    Glenn, i live just over the line in ny. is there public access to get a canoe on? I like the lake. And so do a lot of people with fast boats and jet skis. Possibly a few of us could meet at or around the lake. as it seems colser for a few of us? And it is a very nice lake.

    Removing duct tape residue

    Citrus solvent, is a "so called" environmental safe product. Can be bought at Lowes or the dept. I get mine from bike shops, riders like it to clean chains. I've used it for years and like it. As a bonus it smells like an orange. All of the products mentioned above will get the job done. Only...

    Paddling in an Apocalypse

    I Live to close to NYC. So if unfortunately I wasn't taken out in the first wave. I would probly try to use bike paths to get north. I don't really think of these scenario as survival. As I do running for your life. We should all just get along, and increase the peace. Just my 2 cents!

    Missinaibi River

    Now that's smart! I would not have thought about that. Iam assuming you could get hit for taxes? Entering the u.s.?

    Brown Tract Portage to Lower Locks

    It is a nice stretch. But two longer portages for sure. The trip down long lake could be a express ride with the wind at you're tail. Also the saranacs( if the wind is from the west). I think 5 days will give you plenty of time to enjoy this trip. As a possible bonus there are restaurants/ bars...

    Iam enjoying following recapped. Thanks for the up dates trying. What would be his options if ice stopped his progress? Wait it out, retreat? He is on an adventure all right!
