    what is Swift cooking up?

    Yes the bolts have all been eliminated. The seat is glued to the carbon pods which are glued to the inside of the boat. I wear a size 9.5 shoe and can still get my feet under the seat if I want to kneel. The only metal in the canoe are the two small "safety pin" style clips for adjusting the...

    ​Ranger interactions – stories good or bad

    and from the other side of the aisle I would offer...... Unfortunately there are overbearing rude badge heavy (usually younger) folks wearing badges. They are few and far between but they exist. Kinda like the few paddlers, boaters, drivers, hikers, hunters, fishermen/women etc. who are...

    What is better for few days on the river, waterproof bag or barrel?

    I have always used a soft pack with roll up top waterproof pack liners. Then inside the pack liners everything is in another waterproof bag, either a dry sack or a dry sack compression bag. I have not had any moisture issues to date with that set up. This year for my WCPP trip I bought a 30L...

    Tips on float bag installation

    I flipped that 60 lb royalex boat in my pond and I was not happy with how little of the canoe was actually out of the water. I bought it for river trips and wanted a little extra for the class 2+ - 3 stuff I might run into. The bags are VERY nice and the owner (Shawn) of Fall Line was super to...

    Tips on float bag installation

    No Title When I bagged my Swift I used the method described by Mike McCrea. I was able to turn the canoe up on it's side and drill using a regular battery powered DE Walt. I used most of the parts from the NorthWater kit and it worked perfectly in the royalex boat. I had never done it before...
