    estern PA Solo Canoe Rendevous

    Ya know, I'd asked Swift if they were going to be there and the official response I got was "nope". I'm ever more bummed out now that I wasn't able to make it out this year.

    Live action cameras

    I'm not much of a bird connoisseur but our feeders are well-maintained and well-trafficked. We finally got our setup to be squirrel-proof, but the birds spill enough to keep the squirrels nearby anyway. We've got blueberries, grapes, and a few different kinds of fruit trees planted nearby. So it...

    Poll: How many alcoholic "drinks" per day on a canoe trip?

    I'm not big on booze (though I definitely don't mind it) so I'd rather not pack out the weight, or the trash. Coffee is another story, though... :)

    Best burger and pizza joints near where you live

    Anywhere in the Raleigh, North Carolina region you should be able to find a Five Guys Burgers nearby. Secret tip: ask for "extra bacon" on any burger that says it comes with bacon. They PILE ON the bacon and don't charge you anything extra. Pizza: Peri Bros Pizza in north Raleigh, on Six Forks...

    playful splashes from Raleigh, North Carolina

    Sorry for the long absence; my wife was dealing with some health issues, and I was off by her side where I belonged. All is well now, and I have a new paddling buddy... Otto the miniature Schnauzer (who's all of 15 weeks old right now).

    Sun Hat

    My wife got me one of those for my birthday last year and I must say I'm quite fond of it. Even when the weather gets down into the low 40's, I'm quite comfortable in it. In warmer weather, as we're known to suffer in North Carolina from time to time, I'm happy to dunk it in the water and put it...

    ​Ranger interactions – stories good or bad

    There was that time the ranger caught me holding a professional looking camera, pointing at a young lady in some advanced state of undress. I can't imagine why the ranger was so infuriated with our enjoyment of the park.

    ​Going Dark

    I quit watching TV as a habit last Summer. I don't miss it, but maybe once a month I will allow myself a mini-splurge of TV for one sitting. Likewise, I've not really been on this forum regularly. Mostly because I'm spending time outside, hiking or running or whatever (lost 80 pounds so far)...

    If that's ugly, then count me in.

    Russell Green River Knives

    Compensating for the terrible fragility and lack of natural defenses that evolution has deprived the human body of, while taking advantage of our great capacity to use tools to compensate for those shortcomings. Though if you're suffering a touch of blade and rifle envy, I can hardly fault you...

    what is Swift cooking up?

    I don't have a Facebook account, but I went to their Facebook page since Swift seems to post there pretty heavily. Mmmmmmm purdy. I like Mike McCrea's idea of having this hull done up in a solo configuration.

    Video: Keewaydin Traditional Travelling by Cedar Canvas Canoe in Wabakimi

    Vimeo is a friendlier place than YouTube. They also preserve more of the high quality of the original video, while YouTube tends to compress more heavily and reduce quality.

    2017 FreeStyle Canoeing Event Schedule

    Marc, I like the site. It would be really nice if it were easy to discover new content w/ aggregators rather than having to remember to visit periodically. A couple of ideas: * RSS feed for site changes. * Use standard calendar format for events so people can subscribe to the event calendar. So...

    "Spirit Canoe" short film / music video

    I saw this on Vimeo and I don't think it's been shared here yet. It's sort of a short film / music video set in Montana. Enjoy. https://vimeo.com/87292593
