Collinsville canoe told me to use clear nail polish on my shearwater and they have been okay for 2 yrs now.

If I don't feel like putting together my own or want to supplement them I use Outdoor Herbivore, great company for vegetarian and vegan options and they give a good nutritional break down if you're looking to balance your diet or hit certain caloric goals, for instance I shoot for about 3000...

Downeast lakes in Maine certainly gets you solitude and wilderness

It's a GCI sitbacker

Added a 2nd dog to the Pocket Canyon

Last sunset paddle of summer

I have tarps with doors and I have a multifunction tarp that I can form doors if I want. The multi is what comes out the most as I have so many options on how to pitch, it's by Jacks R Better

I've been bumped a few times, no worse than being sniffed while cowboy camping ;-)

I don't think either provides you with more physical safety, I think the flexibility of the hammock is the real key. I also have an irrational fear of being trampled in a tent so I'm in a hammock 99% of the time, even with a dog quite often.

I was out playing last night and I was able to do axles and get 180, couldn't get posts right, thanks to the dog countering me :D couldn't get onside slips consistently although offside I was fine. I'll go out this weekend without the dog and see how things go.

Custom factory color, blue camo, costs extra. I also got it with factory installed skid plates

I have an Esquif Adirondack that does quite well as a fishing platform. Here it is on a fishing /camping trip in the ADK, it's 12 ft long and 43lbs, hauls a lot of gear too

After a good exchange on Facebook I decided to go with the Pocket Canyon and it's been great so far. I've had it on the water 3 of the 4 days I've owned it, 2 lakes and a creek. I've never been in a canoe so stable that turns so easily, it's going to spoil the dog and I as he can move freely...

I'm a pretty big guy at 6'4+ and 230ish pounds so I for instance have no issues with a vertical paddle in say a pathfinder solo paddling backwards so I think I should be okay width wise

For the past year or so I've been agonizing over what canoe to get for river tripping with my dog, whitewater use and freestyle classes. I had settled on the Pocket Canyon as it seems like a strong possibility, the issue is I have yet to be able to paddle one. Along this journey I've been told...

I manage without an axe or hatchet especially when it comes to a twig stove, plenty of branches I can cut down to size off of down trees or shoots off much larger branches and then baton with my knife

I didn't say we weren't a tight fit :D

Your heeler looks about the same size as mine, mine stays by me behind the thwart. I think the Phoenix is about the same between seat and thwart as my shearwater and adirondack, gives him a little flatter area

Nice trip report and thanks for the work, I'll be doing a 60 mile loop there starting the 17th of this month

I might be able to make this, is it just a day paddle?
