Was not sure where to put this, but I could use all of your collective experience. The wonderful wife and I are moving to the Front Range of Colorado, and I am taking my OT Pack and the Gheenoe15.4 with. I also have my Dad's old fiberglass 16' square stern tandem which I do not paddle much...

+2 for the Duct Tape. My Pop was a Union Carpenter;Dockbuilder and they called it "Capenter's Bandaid". I used to carry very fine sutures and medium sutures with me all over the world, but they were for 3rd world doctors to use on me, rather than recycling their own.....

PM sent.

Leatherman Super Tool is in the pack as a "toolbox". On my belt is always a fixed blade, usually a short scandi grind knife. And of oourse, a filet knife if there will be fishing. My EDC is a Swiss Army "Officer Suisse" model which was the first knife my father gave me when I was 7. They no...

For years I have been using the plastic cylindrical containers protein powder drinks, etc. come in. Waterproof, don't crush and hold several days of kibble for the "Thornado"

I have a few comments - Use a rubber net, which lets you lift the fish and get access to the fish without damaging their gills or taking the protective slime off of them. Second, if you are going to release the fish, crimp your barbs down, it will make it easy to release a fish without...

You may fight it, but inevitably you will be absorbed by the BORG.......

First, Mem and these other guys have forgotten more about canoeing than I will ever know. But I identified with what you were saying and wanted to encourage you. I"m a 56 year old former paratrooper with the knees that go with that choice. I also shattered my heel 2 years ago and have some...

My Espreso maker for the field. Antler handles that won't melt. Worth the wait.

Mr. Rippy, Beautiful fitting work. However, in studying your blueprints I believe I see some serious engineering mistakes. Please forward the knife to me ASAP and I will field test it this spring and summer to make sure it's OK. Just because I care. DanOver And Mem, thanks for letting me...

Odyssey, thanks for posting that article. A lot of good info and history of Chaga. I'm currently taking an infusion 2x a week with my tea.

My Pop was a Carpenter/dockbuilder who grew up on a farm and fishing village in Northern Norway. He knew a thing or two about axes and hatchets. Pop kept a heavy headed carpenter's hatchet and a lighter one for detail work. In addition, he kept an Estwing all steel axe and a heavier camp axe...

Percolators - I have my mom's old electric percolator at work. I keep it pretty scoured and boil just water every 10 pots or so. I also unplug within a few hours of brewing to keep it from overcooking the coffee. The pot is famous in my 120 person office, as I use it at the communication duty...

I used to wear a completely striped outfit when working outside. But the parole board let me out early, and I've avoided going back so far....

I'm a Jessie Roper fan and I'd like to hear something like his "Yukon Girl" song, but set on a multi day canoe trip. Day one, looking for some fun. Day two sharing a canoe, Day three, she wants to marry me, Day four, I'm headed for shore....

Used a Sweetwater mini pump for years and a Lifestraw when out on the stream fishing. Just got the Platypus gravity system and love it! I also have bought a few silk "Cowboy" bandanas, which are quite a bit larger than a standard bandana, and they make a great filter for sediment screening.

Thanks, I will check out the Mohawk bags then.

Mike, I think you are right. If I pull the permit, I may need an inflatable kayak instead. The pack even with bow and stern air bags might not be the right boat. I'm also going to put in for the Smith in Montana. I know that will be fine with the Pack.
