Peregrine sale pending

Nice! Can I assume a Prothonotary is the target spices for the nestbox? In addition, how many IPA's dose it take to watch 50 acres of backwater drain? Thanks for reporting.

I have not been to a certified scale yet; I'm waiting to get the knee pads installed, not that they will add much to the overall. Near as I could tell the hull alone was in the realm of 19# (a difficult floppy thing for my beam scale) for a 26.5 overall. This jives with the wife's bathroom...

I have just completed work on a new tripping canoe. It will replace a Peregrine that I no longer use because I don't have a dog any longer. Without the 50 extra lbs. of K-9 the Kestrel accommodates my tripping load nicely and is a better fit to my diminutive stature. Here are some photos of...

Since my dog died, I no longer need a solo of this size. It is a 2004, premium plus lay-up, it is green, ash rails w/cherry decks, Conk contoured seat... good condition. $1800.00 https://picasaweb.google.com/114267878012874538920/Peregrine?authkey=Gv1sRgCNGst5SnxPuoLA The specifications...

Shocked and saddened by this news. One of the very first paddling acquaintances I made via these internet forums. Jim could quickly become the anchor of any campfire circle. He knew the value of detail in telling a story. "Oh, and that reminds me", he'd say, each story relevant to the topic...

My primary reason for visiting this forum is for the adventure reporting our members provide. Your report, though somewhat late, has come at a time when it is greatly needed. Thank you for stimulating my tripacanis gland. I feel the paddling hormones beginning to regulate my behavior. I'll...

I posted these back in October, when it was new. A light-duty pick-up meets my work and recreational needs nicely. I'm very happy with my choice of an 8' box with a regular cab. My canoe capacity is three solos abreast, which equals the cab seating...

I heard of your domicile disaster but was not aware there were multiple trees involved. Has the Oak invasion taken on the character of one of your fishing stories? Tree or trees, folks here will enjoy your adventure stories no matter the size of the fish. Welcome Wes, I hope you're happy in...

What is the problem here? I consider myself a wilderness tripper. I do it by myself in a dedicated solo canoe. I could say that I am self-taught, as I have not taken formal classes or participated in symposia, I have however, had opportunity to paddle behind some very talented paddlers...

Happy Birthday and congratulations on the canoe!

Just the other day, I picked up a six-pack of All Day IPA. It was new to me and I'm always looking for something I haven't had. Besides, with the time change fast approaching on November 2nd I wanted to make sure the fridge was well stocked for the Fallback celebration. I was attracted to...

My cross bars are made from 1 inch galvanized pipe, which has an OD of 1 5/16". The ID of 1¼ inch pipe slides nicely over the 1 inch. My gunwale stops are made from a short piece of 1¼ inch black iron, on which a plate of ¼" steel has been welded. To lock them on the cross bars I bored and...

Auto manufacturers have stopped making the long bed, small pickup. Toyota still has the Tacoma but its bed is only 6½ ft., a few years ago they discontinued the option of a regular cab. You must be willing to except a worthless (to me) extended cab. It seems automakers have blended the needs...

I could have a growler of Caged Alpha Monkey on hand for anyone who wanted to spend the night in our back yard. Other than that, I probably cannot offer much more than facilities for morning ablutions.

I take great pride in knowing that my work lessens the soreness of asses across this great land. In addition, it is good to know that your morning ablutions were safe and sanitary.

The Robinson River - Fulfilling a dream Paul Conklin (Curtis Mayfly) August 7-11, 2014 My first visit to the Robinson River was in the summer of 1971. Wesley Hammond, our high school shop teacher invited me and three of my schoolmates to join him on an Oswegatchie canoe trip, it was the first...

I make careful study of my gear weight or burden, as I choose to call it. It is broken down into three categories, 1) canoe 2) pack 3) body. The canoe includes the hull and all that is in it. Pack is obvious but sometimes includes a second small pack that can be carried on my chest; I try to...

Not in the gear category but you did say you were off to the grocery store. I have always been a cracker guy, whether they are in my soup or just as a snack. The trouble is, a delicate sleeve of saltines does not hold up well to back country travel. To satisfy my cracker addiction, I have...
