Thanks Red for the great report! Enjoyed the adventures with your cooking experiments. It really sounds like you're onto something delicious there, probably at a reduced level of salt too. (thinking of mountain house) I'm curious about your "billy pot" or what ever it's called, don't believe...

Well Yellow Canoe, At first glance it might seem a problem with your husband and Memaquay paddling along. But as I remember it your husband uses a double bladed paddle, well it's no struggle to decide who needs to be handicapped by paddling backwards. And if things weren't bad enough, is it true...

Looking far and wide, this is the one place where there is a bunch of guys more or less like me. Don't get offended, not exactly, but often pretty close. I need advice: Turns out I'm going deaf. Have been for a long time but now it's really bad, I'm in what I think is a conversation and the...

Well Red, at first read your idea about the mushrooms seems a little strange but at second thought, there's no reason that something found in the natural world couldn't have had that effect. Wonder if anybody ever looked at bear attacks against the time of year? You know, when such and such a...

Very interesting read, thanks YC! I went about my day was pondering the whole hunter-gathering way of life. In the way back when, there were no guide books on what to eat, learning not to eat that particular plant must have come at a cost. Once the knowledge had been learned it must have become...

On it like a duck on a june-bug! Rob

Welcome Lepmeister! It must be a challenge to share the water with those crocodiles, here in the states we read about fisherman being taken by them! Mighty brave in my opinion. Nearly makes our bears seem cuddly. I'm pretty sure you're the first canoer from Australia on the site, look forward...

Hmm.....just thinkin', if there's no dump, no free food, how many 300 pound bears are needed to make a 800 pounder? Shades of Hannibal Lecter! Well Memaquay, that's one impressive bear, you know if I squint just a little there's a remarkable resemblance to my mother-in-law. Speaking of...

All right Glenn, five pages of foreplay is enough, it's time to make the springs squeak! Rob

What a great add-on to the printed trip report! I'm only sorry it was so short, I could have watched for hours. Don't know if you'd care to do it or not but I was wishing you'd talk about what you were doing and all. I know that you're primarily a solo guy but maybe once you're famous you...

Ah Brad, you write such good memories. And a nice break from obsessive rules on what you're allowed to paddle with. And what you must call your craft and under what conditions. Really, what's going on here? Everybody's got the right to go to hell in their own fashion. If somebody tries a double...

No love so hot that marriage can't cool it. Three moves are as good as a fire. Never trust a man your dog doesn't like. (it helps if the dog isn't all that friendly.) R

Maybe so YC, maybe so....I'll try to work on my toleration too! R

It may well be that thirty something years of marriage has taught me to value peace too well, but, I really don't like these guy's who are addicted to soap boxes and oracle like pronouncements. Of course, given the sheer volume of blab you've got to expect occasionally they'll get something...

"Judging all in all, life would have been so much simpler if father had worn a condom." R

Well, it was yesterday that Glenn was scheduled to fix the split on his canoe. Does anyone live near him that could go check and see if he's glued himself to the canoe? I'm generally all for letting somebody work out their own solutions but what with fall coming on and the nights getting colder...

Am I suffering from depression or are things really that bad? R

As far as cutting the tip on the syringe, don't use your swiss army scissors, use a nail clipper or toe nail clippers or a sharp knife. Rob

We all remember the wise water rat: "Believe me, my young friend, there's nothing- absolutely nothing- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." Rob

Glenn, Do you really want to thicken your glue??? I'm still of the opinion that it ought to be able to flow into any space that it will. And of course any air bubbles can have a chance to come up to the top and allow more glue to flow into the space. It might be that depending on how the...
