When we had our Siberian we fed her Diamond High Energy for Sporting Dogs. Was about he only thing she would eat. Got it at Tractor Supply and a local feed and grain.

Making sure my dog has enough dog food when I'm tripping is simple... I leave her at home with my wife. She only weighs 11.5 lbs (the dog, not my wife.) I have a PFD for the dog, but my wife hasn't yet allowed me to take her on even a day paddle.

I might be forced to give up coffee if that was all there was available:eek::eek::eek:

Welcome Black Fly:D:D

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. In the Cherokee, I just pop it off and hold it out from under the canoe(s). It's a non issue with my double cab Sierra.

Eric and Doug (and everybody else), If my post came off snarkey, I apologize:o. 'twas not my intent. Having been on a ten day trip with a fella and his Radisson and many 2-4 day trips with buddies paddling various square sterns, I was truly surprised to see it in the video. To paraphrase a...

A square stern Sportspal on a 30 day trip? Really?

Another vote for the Sportspal/Raddison canoes. We used to take teens from church camp To Algonquin for a week of canoe camping. One of the adults decided the Grummans were waaayyy too heavy so before the following year's trip, he got a Raddison:( (never test paddled!!!). When loading the...

I don't consider 71 old, I'll be there next week. My son, 49 this week, and I do some winter camping at his wife's family farm. He uses an Army surplus two part pup tent and I use a drafty old wood shed that used to be used for a hunter warming shack up on the hill about 1/2 mile. My 3-season...

Looks like a portage nightmare:eek::eek::eek:

ended up as Darn Grappler Ad. Does that make me a dang commercial?

Chip, Maybe if someone had suggested turning over your canoe porky wouldn't have pooped in it... oh, wait... I haven't had any critter problems with my blue barrels (yet). I do try to keep the outside free of any food particles.

MM has not charged admission since they moved the vendors down to Thendara. Still a test paddle fee but weather was crappy so we didn't paddle. Other than spending time with my son and granddaughter (and my wife), the primary reason I go is to see the Swift and Northstar canoes and since I have...

OK, I'll give you that.

The key word here is carry. Just because he has it doesn't mean he uses it. He got it out, talked about all the great stuff it would do (made my mouth water), put it away and that was the last we saw it:(

Everybody had to start somewhere. There are those with 30 years experience and those with 1 year experience 30 times:eek:

Welcome Roy. This is an informative and fun site.

Depends on how hungry you get:D. You're welcome to come along. If we made it longer we would have to put in at a PFBC access site and that requires a use permit (+/- $20 per calender year) and 1st night camping would be in poor sites:(.

Have noticed an increase in kayaks and SUP's and a decrease in canoes at the test paddle beach over the last few years. However, the SUP's are what my granddaughter wants to paddle and she is the primary reason we still go.:D:D:D

June is getting close. How does June 5-8 work for those interested? Thinking of doing Franklin (US Rt 322) to Emlenton (I-80), Meet near the put-in mid/late Tues afternoon, do the shuttle, have dinner, camp at the put-in and shove off Weds. morning. Take out at Emlenton noonish Friday. ,
