    Favorite piece of discontinued gear?

    Mine would have to be my Coleman Peak 1 Powermax fuel stove. I have used it a long long time and they discontinued the fuel several years ago. I refuse to pay 20.00 for a can of fuel when I can find it so I bit the bullet and bought a new MSR windburner.

    Russell Green River Knives

    I have used the same Gerber Shorty since 1979. I am not sure I want to wear it on my waist in the canoe. I am probably going to switch to a folder in a nylon case for when I fall out of the canoe.

    Ferro rods...

    Lol. I went to hobby lobby today for a pound brick of beeswax and a roll of jute, stopped at the auto parts store and bought brake line, came home and worked on these things all evening. Two for me, one for the wife and one for the daughter. This stuff works great for sure.

    What stove for Hot Tent

    I sold my steel two dog stove to a fella in Alaska that is going to put it in his trapping cabin on the Yukon River. It is currently in transit. I ordered the Titanium Dx stove from Don at 4-Dog Stove company. I figure it will last me the rest of my life. I will have it and the Nuway Single...

    WCPP threatened with motorized access

    It appears that Harlan has developed a successful business model and maybe the "lean" years have moved over to other peers (the other camp operators). Has Harlan's success had an impact on other's success? If so I would be willing to bet this lends to his status of "not popular within the...

    WCPP threatened with motorized access

    I concur that the "media" usually has an agenda themselves when they attempt to report facts. Most of the time many facts are left out to help manipulate the viewers/readers opinion. I have personal history with this to the point I filed a lawsuit against a media giant and won a six figure jury...

    ​Which modern materials layup?

    Swift recommended (so did CW) the Kevlar fusion layup. I am going with the innegra interior that adds a pound and the two tone finish that adds a pound. With cherry tech package I should be at 33 pounds in a Shearwater, a little less in the Keewaydin 15. I am leaning towards the bigger boat.

    1 person tents

    No Title I use a Big Agnes Slater UL 2+. I have spike camped in it at 9000 feet in Idaho in 40 mph winds and also used it on the river banks when overnighting on fishing trips. It is also great on bike trips. I would not want anything smaller. It is plenty wide for me and it has a very nice...
