So, I ordered a wet suit for winter paddling. I don't know much about them. Will this offer me any actual protection? A dry suit is out of my price range. If it doesn't offer protection, is it worth keeping at all for warmer months?

I was thinking of going off season. Would the alligators be in force at this time of year?

Merchant's looks like a winner, and less than 4 hours away. I think I'll take a trip there after christmas!

I'm blessed to have two boats. One is a 1994 royalex Dagger which is 59 lbs. The other is a Nova Craft Fox Solo 14 which is considerably lighter and easier to portage. I'm planning a flat water trip to either the adirondacks or eastern KY in the near future. There are pros and cons for each...

so the idea is to create a more secure connection through friction?

thank you!!!

I guess a bicycle shop would be the place for this.. and contact cement at a hardware store. About how big of a piece would you suggest I glue onto the gunwhale?

I'll post pics next time. I need to get a portable charger under the tree, first. The cold weather kills my phone battery.

Interesting idea! Yes, I have had it slip on my dagger reflection. Fortunately, my solo is light enough that I can use the seat and thwart towards the bow in order to heft it onto my shoulders. When I use the tandem, I'm forced to hold onto the yoke as I swing my hips, and it has slipped a time...

I have a lightweight solo canoe and a heavier tandem. A detachable yoke works well for the lighter solo, but doesn't want to attach as securely for the tandem. I was curious if there were more universally designed options for all canoes. The one I use tightens on the gunwhales at midship in a...

All, the trip took place at Lake Moomaw in Virginia. It is an hour from where I live and the only flat water place around with primitive sites. There are reports of lake trout, but none would take my spoon:)

Hey all. So I have experimented with different techniques for car topping my tandem and solo. You may balk at some of them, but these have worked for me so far. I'm open to suggestions, however! From the rear of the car, I place a cheap heavy duty moving blanket I got from Lowes for about $20...

I am back home after a fantastic trip. My belly is full and my mind is clear. I wanted to recount this experience for you all. I was too busy to take pictures on this trip, also wanting to save my battery, I opted for this medium instead. Saturday morning: 8 AM. The car is packed. A quick...

I live in Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley. I've made many trips to Lake Moomaw, which I love. So, I need help with a possible destination (flat water) where I can camp and paddle. I'm chomping at the bit to do a canoe/ dispersed camping trip in other water bodies this month, as I have some...

I'm in Rockbridge County, VA.

Hey, all. I'm a bushcrafter/paddler from Virginia. I own a fox solo 14 and a 1994 royalex dagger reflection 15. I've been paddling with Dad since I could walk, but until this year didn't truly get into solo paddling. I'm looking forward to enjoying this great community and hoping I can be...
