Sad but true. I was going to suggest some of the Chota products I've had luck with. Not North American made either...

The go-to-boot for sea-kayaking for many Alaskans. Not too bulky, as many boots are. I never had a problem getting them into my kayak (size 13). If you can fit hiking boots or similar under your seat, I'd think these should fit as well.

Awesome work! What next, this??

No Title Very nice! Drilling those holes would send chills up my spine, but sealed up well, probably are better than the factory ones. Vans are great!!

Yep, ordering online can be a challenge... With brands I buy on a regular basis I usually feel safe getting somethings online. I bought a pair on pants and a hat from Outdoor Research lately and couldn't believe how far off they were! I've been wearing XL pants of theirs for years but the...

You might look at Outdoor Research's Foray Jacket? Gore-Tex Paclite is a pretty good material - a three layer product so no liner - not too bulky. Quite good in the breath-ability area. Although like you said, nothing breaths all that well when soaking wet. Good side pockets and a chest pocket...

Yep. everything but the not keeping your food down... I was leading a small group of begginer backpackers up and over the Crow Pass Trail in the Chugach State Park, AK and came down with a nasty case of the flu (?). It came out of nowhere on the first night. The forcast had been for a weekend...

Hi, Mikes posts on rebuilding/modifying his Klepper is how I stumbled on this forum. I'll be asking him a few questions, for sure... Double blade & a vintage canoe? I'd figure you'd have be "cast out" from here for that... Ha! Ha! Since I'm new here, I'll confess to my "sins" right from the...

AK is a great place to paddle. Where did you paddle? I lived up there for 12 years and did a lot of trips in Prince William Sound. I put a lot of miles on the Pygmy Arctic Tern I built. I never got close to any humpbacks, just sea lions and belugas. That must be quite an experience! This...

Hi Kevin and thanks! Not much better to do right now than think about your next boat! The weather had been so mild, I broke down and ordered a drysuit in December so I could still do some paddling and rowing. Wouldn't you know it, as soon as it came, so did winter! I guess everything...

Thanks. You live in a wonderful area! I've done some paddling up your way: Scarborough, Harraseeket River, Saco River/Salmon Falls, Runaround Pond and a few things around Mt. Desert Island. I want to start getting out to some of the MITA Islands but since we hate to leave the dog behind we...

Thanks. Yea I expect to get some ribbing from the single blade paddlin' die-hards. It's ok, I just love being on the water. Even an inner-tube can work if that's all I have... Pickup? I completely understand.. I drive a van.

Greetings All, Nice site you have. So much info! Kevin here... For many years I've been mostly a sea-kayaker, doing a bit of rafting and some canoeing. A spouse who doesn't like canoes and a set of bad knees (painful kneeling) has kept me from doing much canoeing but I'm interested in...
