It seems like web site/forum hosting became a lot more complicated with the mobile device focus. I'm not tech savvy enough to have any valuable insight or advice on the best path to take. If you can go simple to cut costs and complications I'm sure you'd have the support of most all current...

One more thought on cold weather hands (and feet) is keeping a steady flow of fuel going into the engine. Especially as I've gotten older I find a steady intake of snacks during cold weather paddling makes a noticeable difference in my overall comfort level to include hands and feet. Cheese...

Agreed. Extra headgear, too, just in case. A spare wooly takes little room in the day bag.

I also paddle in icy waters in the spring. While I can usually keep my hands fairly dry, the wind can change that reality pretty quick. I've used pogies when kayaking but I wasn't aware of canoe specific pogies. Believe I'm going to give a pair of these a go. Thank you for the heads-up.

Agreed. The mitten is easily off and on when needed and extra latex gloves take little space in the day bag. I have latex gloves in all my survival pouches, too.

I've been using an Alite Monarch 2 legged ultralight chair for quite a few years and it served me well. Now in my 60s and decided it was time to get a 4 leg chair that wasn't such a ground hugger. Picked up one of those Joey chairs this past spring and its been a treat to use. I believe it was...

Wow! The power of the natural world.

Second that. Looks like a nice trip, enjoyed the narrative and the photos. Love ponds!

Now that's funny :D

We have a winner!

Nice job of it. I've been thinking of doing a couple similar pouch bags for some of my other gear. I like the roll top style for its ease of ingress/egress and, like you say, manipulation while wearing gloves. The nice thing about DIY pouch bags is the ability to customize them specifically to...

No Title A beautiful October morning at my exercise pond.

My peanut butter powder experiment began and ended today. I tried it on some hot buttered toast and then sauteed some in butter to pour on a toasted bagel. I tried a couple bananas with the powder - one with a chocolate dip and one without. Spread a piece of toast with raspberry jam and...

Interesting. I found some on Amazon and ordered a bottle. Might be fun to powder some bannock bread with it.

Very nice photography, folks.

Played OK for me. An excellent video, to be sure. Quite a trip that was and the youngsters all seemed to be troopers up to the task. Well done!

It is indeed both ingress and egress. When you put in you'll immediately take a channel to the left, Stay river left as the channel swings around northwest into the Bend itself. You will pass a number of channels that are between the Snake and the main body of the Bend. Some will connect with...

I'm of a similar mindset - quite a collection of coffee brewing devices. Just ordered the smallest Bialetti as I could not resist yet another caffeine addiction support tool ;)

No Title Another must-do paddle in close proximity to the little Teton lakes is the Oxbow Bend on the Snake river. You don't have to run the run to access it although the Bend makes a nice part of a run from Jackson Lake dam down to Pacific Creek Landing. Its an easy and very scenic 5 mile...

On a recent 10 day trip I tried out a new little coffee makin' widget that worked fairly well. Two scoops of regular off-the-shelf grind in a Snow Peak 450 made a decent cup o' joe. Pour through slowly, let steep for 4-5 minutes. Very little sludge. Cleans up easily and packs flat. I like the...
