    What are you reading?

    Thank you guys, I'm always looking for new books. Horrorbabble is a diamond in the rough, speaking as a lover of Lovecraft. Ian Gordon is absolutely terrific. I'm always into several books at a time, these days it's - The Ship Under the Ice - Mensun Bound; story of the recovery of Shackleton's...

    What will be the effect of electric vehicles on canoe tripping?

    I may be in the minority, but I'm optimistic about the quality, availability, and affordability of EVs. (I may also be younger than most on this website.) The industry is essentially a nascent one. It will be a great long while before gas-powered cars are phased out, or even the minority, so any...

    Planning an NFCT Thru-paddle

    Thanks guys, that's exactly the sort of local information I can't get (or simply don't know to ask for). I'll give it a try, and try to feel my way through it.

If it's cold I'll wear a pair of Sealskinz socks under the neoprene, because I load/unload from a floating boat. The neoprene gets hot, but they've got great traction...

    A little different approach

    This is the first detailed SOF build I've seen, apart from building a bunch myself, and I'm astounded by how different his process is than mine. (Why have I never thought to set ribs out of order, rather than always work from the center out to the stems?) I love skin-on-frame canoes and...

    Greetings from Virginia

    Thanks for the welcome, fellas, glad to be here. I've lived all over the Shenandoah and the Tidewater, but am now in the Roanoke area. Ucanoe, I'll check out coastals, thanks for the tip. Seems like I'm always a step (stroke?) behind when it comes to things like that. I lived near Lyndhurst...
