Just noting that jdeerfoot, Bob B, and I met for breakfast today and it was very nice to put faces to posts here. I think a good time was had by all - including Bob's dog Jake, and hope we can do it again and more members can make it.
They were demoing this at canoecopia. They had samples and would scrap it hard with a rock. Looked pretty scratched. Then wipe or buff hard with soft cloth, then repeat with 303. You could still see some surface imperfections if the reflection was just right, but generally the scratches did...
I hope there are others but just confirming that I and jdeerfoot lan to be at the Parkway Family Restaurant at 8:30 Central DAYLIGHT Time. If you don't "spring ahead" we might be home. If you want to be sure we are holding a chair for you, text me at seven zero eight nine eight three five seven...
Just for the Wisconsinites in this thread (thought that was more gracious than cheddar heads) a reminder at least 2 us are gathering for breakfast at Canoecopia, at the Parkway Family Restaurant, 8:30 am, Sunday March 10 - spring forward day.
Link didn't work.
I've been on Spenser - in July - and it would really scratch up a composite. Pretty sure there are other stretches similar. I had been thinking Echo at 45#. There's a lot between 25# and 65#. Lightest t-formex I find is 42#.
Appreciate the responses. I was thinking about NFCT - Spenser Creek cones to mind - and wanting to drag a solo with 75 pounds of gear five miles. I can pick a canoe and use it accordingly or I can decide how I want to use it and then go pick that canoe.
Just no sense any composite canoe can...
Is any composite canoe really durable enough to be pulled up a bony creek for several miles? I'm just coming to the opinion that t-formax (or poly or aluminum) is really all that can take that kind of abuse, and you accept the weight penalty.
I thought I'd poke around on this and first I found was https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap13.html which immediatly stated:

Nido is a basic for my canoe and backpacking trips. Walmart was going to be my suggestion. None in stores near me - maybe because I'm in Canadian border. :) More likely because of very small Hispanic population.
Buying it at Trader Joe's is so easy though. And so many other good things there to take camping.
I have a bakepacker but honestly like my jello mold oven more. Crusty outsides and top. Cakes, muffins, biscuits, and even pizza - though a little calzone like.
I did a trip with Chicago Red from...
