I spent a lot of time with a 15' fiberglass Great Canadian. Its a heavy boat with a shallow v bottom. I paddled it successfully seated on the rear seat, with a rock or a couple milk jugs holding the bow down. I generally healed the boat as much as comfortable and was able to get the paddle...

I happened to find a broken fiberglass arborist pole today. The Aluminum ferrule looks like it would be awkward to use. But the fiberglass pole it self looks like it might make a good joint with an an internal sleeve/pin. That's a bit of a DIY though.

Have you poked around the UK based "Song Of The Paddle" forum? As I remember there was a developed technology of 2 part poles that could be used to with a small down wind sail. Its probably not worth shipping poles from the UK, but there's always some one trying to find a low cost...

I looked on Ebay and there are a couple vintage single burners with hoses that where available at some point. There are also single burner catering stoves direct from China, but those are a gamble. If I can attach the stove and bottle to a board, I should be able to also secure a wind...

I believe the Texsport sits flat and has a rigid tube that holds the fuel bottle at an angle, just like most of the the 2 burner stoves. Texsport makes a even cheaper and lighter version, but the review mention the stove body not having enough mass to stabilize the fuel bottle, leading to...

I think I narrowed down the stove I will use for this. It's a "Texsport Glacier Peak Deluxe Single Burner Propane Stove" I haven't picked one up yet, but the hope is that I can attach it to a board that will also support the fuel bottle, and some how nest into the wannigan that nests in a...

I use these for my Mountainsmith tipi. Been a while but I'm pretty sure their still packed in the wood stove, bundled with the ends tucked with some cheap leather gloves. I also used those aluminum gutter nails for backpacking.

I'm kind of surprised there's not more single burner table top stoves, but no one's backpacking with them, and the 2 burner ones are not actually "twice" the size. I think a single burner stove with a hinged cover and wind screens would be ideal, but that's into custom time and money. I'll...

While I'm indulging in a little stream of consciousness exercise.. here's a box that has done some time as a wannigan. Originally this was a tool crate as part of my checked in luggage during my journeyman shipwright circus adventures. I've been threatening to build an ultralight wooden...

I still needed to run soap over my dishes so I spread out what I took with me recently. I culled all the titanium except the stove. There's a bit of nostalgia and the red plastic cup is actually a family heirloom. The flask contains bottom shelf single malt, which seems more metaphorically...

I was thinking about that. My new spot is in a shallower and less shaded area so the my beer wasn't particularly cold and the 1/2+1/2 didn't make it to day 4. But the lake was low and this summer is hopefully not the new normal. I think I would sink the bacon separately from the beer, just...

I've used the butane suitcase stoves and their convenient, but pretty much disposable, at least the ones that were used in a marine environment. I think I'll take a field trip to Cabellas/Walmart and measure all the different stoves, and then I can design the box to work with more than one...

This Coleman is what I was thinking of but would like to find something more compact. https://www.coleman.com/grills-stoves/camping-stoves/cascade-18-1-burner-camping-stove/SAP_2157355.html

I've got one of those and a Sig tourist set to go along with it. And I ran a SVEA 123 long enough to do 2 rebuilds, but for this set up I'm looking for something operable by the reptilian mind.

I managed to get off the reservation and up to Maine this summer. 4 days of driving and 4 days of base camping at nice public lake campsite and paddling about all day and returning to camp after dark. My kitchen was left packed away in a RubberMaid on the picnic bench all day. It wasn't...

The hull received considerable damage, since I had last inspected it, so it looks like in addition to patching the holes, I will have to run a full leangth strip of internal reinforcement along the chines on both sides. I have a bunch of glass work stacked up on other projects and I will be...

Here's the interior.

At some point a tree fell on it and it flexed at the Chines.

Another hole.
