Absolutely, comfort is the top priority. Astra pfds seem to get good reviews. I would have liked to have bought a Salus pfd due to being made in Canada, but their pfds just didn't feel comfortable on me. I ended up buying an NRS Odyssey because it was comfortable, nice size pockets, and...

I've paddled Grand Lake, Spednic Lake and the St. Croix, paddled it many times, love going there. Hmmm, maybe that would be an idea of a weekend adventure with some friends when I am back home this summer. Thanks for the idea!

That's a really good question. I have the large version of the RBW map case and it doesn't have the wide black strip at the top.

Ain't that the truth!

Looks great! I used to enjoy a weekend at Tuckerman Ravine on Mt Washington, NH.

I think me not giving a small rodent's behind is a side effect of the pill I take everyday. But in all honesty, I think going out and doing something you love, like canoeing, can help elevate the side effects of medications, or at least distract you.

Hamburgers in the bush are great, oh so good! Regarding spam and the like, the only individually portioned, foil-pouch 'meat' I have been able to find in Canada is Clover Leaf tuna, single slices of spam, or pouches of chicken, don't seem to be available.

I bought a RBW map case last summer, I'm really impressed with the quality. https://recreationalbarrelworks.com/product/paddlers-map-case/

Here in my part of Southern Ontario, near Sarnia, its not a problem finding groundhogs, nor is it a problem to find a coyote, their numbers have increase significantly in the past 20 years.

I have one of those red poly Nalgene bottles too, love the included funnel. Their banned? How come?

I've had a 4-piece Diawa fishing rod kit since I was in junior high or high school, its been a great fishing rod.

Mmmm, love Mackerel. Used to buy it from a fella out of the chest freezer on the back of his truck near Porters Lake, NS.

Maybe you were, hmmmm.....

For me, the single device is not appealing, I don't want all my eggs in one basket. To me, there are many benefits of a Garmin over a cell phone, such as it is a much more ruggedly built device. And the Garmin is always in my pfd, I don't have to go looking for it.

Ah, the cone of shame, poor fella. And yes, the cat is taunting him.

And the recipe would be? Come on, you can't just tell us that you make and dehydrate yourself, say it was popular, show a mouth-watering picture and NOT share the recipe? Come on, man!

I like Knorr cheddar broccoli rice sidekick with additional dehydrated veggies and a clover leaf tuna pouch. Another favourite is instant mashed potatoes (doctored with garlic and other spices), dehydrated veggies and dehydrated hamburger or even rehydrated homemade beef jerky or sliced up...

For tarp ridge lines, I use 6mm static cord, which has a tensile strength of around 700 lb. The benefit of static cord vs paracord is that static cord does not stretch...

Kejimkujic was one of my first adventures when living in NS, what a great place to paddle and explore!

Your posts on paddling in NS are making miss living there, thanks :-(
