Good article. I tend to fall prey to the attitude of "its got to be better/bigger/more difficult than the last one" mentality, to the detriment of my partners ability to one, go on a trip; and two, enjoy the trip when they do get to go.

Is this the '86 you bought back in 2019? How did the repairs go, and how does it solo? I might be down for a road trip. . . 😃

I have a few stick stoves and can say that the firebox is the best I've used. I have a SS G1, SSg2, and two Ti Nanos. A Ti G2 will be my next purchase from them. Phenomenal quality, and pack/unpack instantly. Very easy to get a very hot, small fire rocking in a hurry. We use a G2 as a heater...

Just came back from the Gunflint Trail area of the BWCA. The tamarack had begun to yellow along with the birch. By the time we hit south Wisconsin, the color change had disappeared. We have a very little bit of yellowing here in central Indiana, but even the corn and beans are still green. We...

I wrestled with this for a couple months this summer. I was sold on the TG6 until I really took a close look at the image quality for prints. I wasn't a huge fan of the limited zoom, either, but but I thought it was worth the compromise. I ended up buying a Panasonic Lumix FZ300. Way nicer...

Thanks for the suggestion, Glenn! I now have one on the way, along with a dirt-cheap copy of Song of the Paddle.

Love my Zoleo. I run the $4 hibernation plan for most of the year and kick it up to whatever level I need for trips. It's just a matter of signing into your account and changing your preferences. Three years trouble-free.

Tough situation. I don't like snobs, and I don't like druggies. I do like public access and I do like private property rights. In my book, private property rights are going to trump "gray-area" access every time.

#2: That's a lot of mercury. 😬 198 cubic feet seems doable for cleanup, but 1,142,344 teaspoons sound harder.

That's quite the list of boats, Glenn! The memories you must have! I have no doubt you could sell the Eddyline and Prijon touring kayaks in short order, and probably the Encore and the Lotus. /threadjack

No lie, what a beautiful hull.

Are they in really bad shape or something? I will rent a u-haul and drive out there and take everything that will fit... 😃 Sell what my group can't use and send you a check from the proceeds minus uhaul fuel. Maybe even trade you a sawzall... 😁

Welcome to the sport! Well, activity, but that doesn't roll off the tongue as nicely. Canoe camping is awesome, but there can be quite an overwhelming amount of information to absorb right out of the gate. You can find the answer to about any question you can come up with, but as you stated, you...

With premium layups now exceeding $4k across the board, it was inevitable. There is a lot of money at risk with these events. Add in the tremendous increase in the numbers of tire-kickers, and the sponsors are going to find ways to limit exposure while still making money. I dont like it, but...

That figures. It is the Age of the Perpetually Offended and Oppressed.

Why is that?

Noblesville, Indiana yesterday at the Dead & Co. show. No clouds, no fog. That is straight wildfire smoke all the way down in central Indiana.

I believe saw a blurb on the NFCT site or in an email about your work on that campsite. Looks like it will be a great site!

I find that my Swift curved seats actually allow me to shift my weight around with MORE ease than a flat seat when solo. The curve allows for a straight-down sit, even as the boat heels over with the shift. No sitting on an inclined plane with a kink in your back. Tandem milage may vary.

I would be in for something made on this side of the pacific. One of the problems I have with "merch" is that everyone seems to use the same crappy chinesium textiles and wares.
