    Sleeping pad?

    I canoe trip much like I do light weight camping. So its a foam therma rest. In my sea line water proof pack, its a back pad. Kind of gives structure to the pack. Also I figure there is buoyancy in it to off set dead weight in that pack??? Usually canoe in camp sites, are less flat or more...

    Ontario Knife Company Sold

    Sad to hear this. Especially for the employees. I have a 1 or 2, and they are nice. I really liked the fact they were made in New York.

    Shockwave vs NS Magic

    I just got a hemlock kestrel, and at first I did find it a bit tippy, now not nearly as much. Mine is set up with a high seat (for kneeling?). Past few days I've been kneeling, and the boat is much more stable. I can even kneel straight up with good confidence. But over all time is calming the...

    Refinishing wood gunwales

    Iam not sure either. I just read it above, about the hemp seed oil, and the fact it might be mildew resistant. On my bow and stern were the gunwales meet, it seems like there is black stuff. I have sanded all the rest, and it looked, and looks fine. ( to this untrained eye). I am just wondering...

    Refinishing wood gunwales

    I have a question? Can you just switch oils (blo to hemp oil) or do you need to re sand the wood? The reason I ask is the I have mildew on the bottom of the outwales so I've sanded every thing nicely and have put one coat of (blo) on. Since hemp is mildew resistant, and natural it appeals to...

    Inn to Inn paddling

    Like billconner said the first part of th nfct. You could stay at the raquette lake tap house, long lake inn, and then in saranac lake. That's 90 miles! Although you might have to spend a night out in between inns, there are plenty of lean to s to make it easier. Good luck!

    New Rhode Island Law Makes Wearing PFD Mandatory for All

    Warning! Stupid hurts and can cause death. I wear both. A helmet when riding any thing with a motor(except a tractor), and a life jacket on the water. Thats me! It makes sense, to me. But I dont want to paddle or ride around with any one telling me what I can and can't do. This should be commin...

    Durston x mid they have a version that is a solid inner meaning less netting. There are many pros for this tent, light weight, inexpensive, designed by Dan durston a equipment tester and experienced traveler. But it is not free standing, luckily he sell poles. I have the one person version and...

    shock cord for tent poles

    I don't have those tents, but have done this to other pole tents. I try to match shock cord diameter (reference old one), length should be slightly longer then poles to accommodate knots or stoper. In the end the shock cord should have little to no tension on it when poles are together. If you...
