Channel from Lower Saint Regis to Black Pond. Adirondacks Bob

Thank you Yellow Canoe. The paddle was handed off successfully. I am looking forward to using it. Thank you Benson- it was a pleasure meeting you and chatting. Thank you Jim for offering to transport and the assorted purchased paddling accessories. I always enjoy meeting up with you at the...

I use a Yeti mug in the car. Fantastic, but heavy. I use a Stanley mug camping- no issues. Bob

I like auto body tack rags. They are about twice the size as the standard ones from the hardware store. Devilbiss is one company. You can get a box of 12 for $20. You can get a couple uses out of one by storing it in a large ziplock when done. Bob

Like what Robin described, I’ve anchored a horizontal 2x6 between two studs for an anchor with no issues. I’m not sure the length of your canoe, but 20’ isn’t a lot of room to work with. One of the points being outside may be your best bet. I prefer the canoe in the envelope to be waste high...

I am getting close to finishing the maple paddle from one of Peter’s blanks and under his tutelage via email. One fantastic tip he gave me was to make a hole with an awl every inch or so along the middle reference line drawn on the blank. That way, if your line gets sanded off you can always...

Paper maps, online maps, GPS applications, Google Earth… I am a bit obsessive when it’s an area I am not familiar with. Planning is half the fun for me during the winter months. Bob

This project got delayed as others popped up. I painted the lip of of the lid to match the color of the canoe it will be used with. I am guessing it will be used as a container for ballast when not tripping with a load as much as a wannigan. I am undecided on handle location and if it needs...

Hi David, I just replied to your other post looking for someone. I am about an hour from Hudson. If someone is closer, great. Otherwise maybe we could meet somewhere depending on the day. Bob

Hi David, I will be attending. I am in NW CT. Were you thinking of shipping these or meeting up before hand? Bob

Fantastic Erica. Really great report and inspiring. Bob

Thanks Benson- it does. Tempting. If you still have it when we meet up, I will take a look. Thank you again Benson. I really appreciate it. Bob

Great, thank you Benson. I will look for you on Wednesday when I arrive. What is the Ottertail below the guide paddle? And how long is it? Bob

Where are you going? I would be curious of food items as well. Thanks for posting this. It is always interesting to see what folks bring. Bob

Yes please. Thank you. Yellow Canoe- please tell me how to get you $20. Bob

Wow. Thank you so much! Yellow Canoe- message me Venmo or address please. Jim and Benson- I’ll buy you a beer or six. Bob

Thank you both very much. No big deal if it doesn’t work out or an easier sale happens. Bob

Are you headed to Paul Smiths this July for the WCHA assembly? If so, would you be willing bring it? If you can sell it locally or that is a hassle, no worries. Bob

Beautiful job. Really stunning! Bob

Oof- I’m sorry to hear that. I was supposed to be on a trip this week, but broke my hand a couple weeks ago and will be out of commission for a while. My situation is much more abbreviated than yours, but paddling, fishing, camping, anything that needs both hands is out. Of course I’m right...
