Slat seats sure seem like they make a lot of sense.

Thanks Rob. Appreciate it. Looking forward to seeing if she floats. However it will not be this weekend like I thought it might....winds will be much too strong for my target destinations.

I am glad I stumbled on this thread. Very impressive work. This thread has at least given me confidence to perhaps give this a go over the winter months. I have been researching how to make a Duluth Pack. I have never sewn and do not own a sewing machine so I figured I would research...

Thank you Glenn. Already lining up other projects since I think I have caught the restoration bug!

Well, admittedly I did not do a very good job of updating Canoetripping with my project. I also did not film all that much. I had taken plenty of photos and there were enough video clips that I was able to put together a short Youtube video from the day I acquired the canoe until most recently...

Have a great and safe trip Robin! Enjoy all of it.

Two coats of the primer are on the chestnut and awaiting the paint. Very excited to see the result of the Grayling Grey. The color choice just seemed to pop out at me so the decision was rather easy. I will post a photo eventually when the canoe is finished.

Very nice with an appealing contrast of wood. Great Result! Patrick, just the other day while ordering George Kirby paint I actually came across one of the testimonials on their website which of course was your testimonial. This is where I learned that I ordered the same "Grayling Gray" paint...

Great find Robin! She sure is pretty! I think that the carrying yoke on this canoe makes perfect sense. I would be interested in something similar to replace my Chestnut Chum yoke.

I need cheaters to read maps and the buttons on the Garmin Inreach Explorer. I don't leave home without my Costa Sunglasses though. I have lost a pair of Costas on a canoe trip and it hurt the wallet, however immediately upon returning home I bought another pair because they work so well for...

2021 Ford Ranger. Seems to be working out decently thus far.

10% at the moment, however there is a spark of interest for my wife to at least start going on day trips or short evening paddles. We live close to amazing beaches in Maine and evening paddling in quiet coves and back bays seems to interest her. We have not made it out yet to tandem paddle but...

Nice trip report. Thanks for sharing.

Your trips never fail to amaze me. This is an extraordinary trip testing both physical and mental strength. I applaud both of your efforts and successes with this trip. The mapping and trip reporting (both interactive and your posted trip report) were enjoyable. Honestly I think I started...

Ironandwood, I also just viewed your PM and responded. Just like lowangle I do not have access to the Tripper, but will gladly take measurements when I return from vacation. With my OT Tripper experiences and recognition of the factory seat locations, modifying the seat locations would...

Without a question the most I will have paid on a canoe is the Chestnut Chum restoration currently in progress. I paid $600 for the canoe and I figure when the canoe is completely finished I will be in the ball park of approx $1,200.

I also only pay for the actual months I will be using the device and suspend the plan for the months that I am not using it. The annual fee still applies for the SOS service if I am not mistaken.

I am using the Garmin Inreach explorer which has tracking, GPS, SOS, mapping and text communication. I set up my trip routes on mapshare (on the computer) and sync the Garmin Inreach Explorer with my iPhone with the Earthmate app. My wife actually insisted that I buy a communication device...

Wabnaki cedar strip on the new adventure wagon. 2021 Ford Ranger at put in on SyslaDobsis Lake last October.
