excellent. Please post up some pictures when it arrives. Hoping it fits well so I can order one myself...

Looking very hard at the MSR Mutha Hubba three person tent with the optional gear shed. Plenty of room for the the two of us and Rex the dog. Total weight a tad over 6 pounds.

My wife is 5' tall and has a torso length of 16" (vertical) so she may end carrying the food/kitchen barrel depending on how it fits her. I am going to see if everything else will fit in something like a CCS Pioneer or Adventurer and I will carry that one.

No Title Glenn the scrim layer is a very light carbon mesh layer adds very little weight, described to me as "miniscule". It serves to darken the color of the canoe. If you look at these pictures closely you can see the layer. For lack of a better explanation it looks like a piece of screen...

I would hate to have to go to Walmart and get some spray paint for the inside of my new canoe to avert motion sickness...

this is copied directly from my invoice. I "believe" the basalt is used in the expedition layup. I just looked at the Swift site and they only talk Basalt in the expedition layups...It is def heavier than the Carbon/Innegra. Build; Swift Shearwater $3195.00...

is there a difference between "Basalt" Innegra and carbon "h weave" Innegra?

Glenn I thought the same exact way. I liked the Innegra on the outside, but wanted it on the inside more, and did not want an entire boat of Innegra. I was wanting contrast. I have a black carbon Northstar Polaris and did not want another black boat. another thing is that Swift does not offer...

front carry is out....very good points on footing, vision etc. My neighbors are going to think I am odd (well odder if that's a word) when they see me carrying my canoe around the field behind my pond wearing backpacks...lol

very nice canoe.....That teXtreme is good looking $tuff for $ure.......congrats on a gorgeous boat. What pack is that lying behind the seat?

Glenn I believe Scott was initially under the impression that the Innegra was just added as an additional layer to the standard Kevlar layers. He spoke with the actual builders of the boats and I guess the layup configuration changes somewhat when the Innegra is added. I am not sure if it is the...

No Title found this while surfing. This type of carry interests me as well. This is a Granite Gear "Quetico" pack. It has good reviews as well but costs more than CCS and not made in the USA. I like the size of it. When at Canoecopia I will get a good luck at the CCS packs.

thank you for these responses. I admit it is an extremely subjective question that depends on many things. If I was still 25 years old I would still be in good enough condition to carry more weight and would probably not focus on being as comfortable in camp lol. The majority of our gear is...

I have been researching tents again this evening....and it appears that the Quest tent is going to be huge when packed. AT&T claim packed dimensions are 21x16x14? That by itself would take an entire pack....egads. My wife and I both have nice quality 2 person tents. she uses hers on her bike...

thanks Bryan. I am planning on double carrying all the portages (with the current route chosen there are 11) and I can carry the canoe and one "lighter" pack at the same time while my wife carries a pack. then we go back and get the final two packs. I need to start packing some gear to get an...

Mnoutdoorfunguy you had 1080 cubic inches at your disposal....... My three Frost river packs combined give me 7500 cubic inches......

2 people on a ten day trip without the need to carry water. Lake paddling and short carries. How many packs/barrels would you have in your canoe? What capacity are the packs. I am trying to wrap my head around just how much I will have. I am taking all the normal gear with an additional...

I also found this but it is aluminum. Affordable and will fit inside a 30L barrel top opening as well. http://www.ebay.com/itm/401101655423?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Canotrouge I bought the AO Igloo for winter. At 9+ x 9+ and only 35 pounds it isn't heavy or bulky at all. Now the AO 12 I had at 80 pounds was heavy and bulky but people don't buy them for canoeing. There will never be more than two people in my Igloo tent and 99% of the time only myself. The...

Dagger that is a heck of a list. I just received my new Alaska Tent and Tarp Artic Oven Igloo last week. 35 pound, geodesic design, sleeps three with a stove, condensation free interior, huge vestibule. Size is 9 1/2 by 9 1/2 . Pricey but worth it. This is my second AO tent and I am ordering an...
