    Breakfast ideas

    Mount Hagen organic freeze dried instant is not to bad, best instant I've tried so far. Also, try this little trick, mix the freeze dried coffee in a spoonfull of cold water and let it desolve first before adding the hot water to your cup. Takes the bitterness out, it's still not real coffee...

    Poll: How Old Are You?

    66 next month. That coleman survey showed 57% or respondents paddled 1-3 times a year, 27% just once. Not a description of a paddler in my opinion. A survey of people that paddled at least 25 days a year would have our demographic much more represented. They are also selling...

    ​Eric Sevareid on double blades in canoe

    The Olympics, back in the day, at least through the 1956 games used one hull for kayak and canoe, an open boat we would call a canoe, I believe they were called pea pods. The history buffs can correct me here if need be. Back in the '70's I was a member of the Washington Canoe Club and they...

    Canoe/hunt videos

    I saw your videos on youtube a year or so ago, didn't realize at the time you live just up the road from me. I too paddle the Adks quite a bit, I have a camp up by the SRCA. About my favorite thing to do is a camping, paddling fishing trip up in the area. Great filming, great gear, great...

    Robbin, if you are interested in learning about fly fishing, especially out of a canoe let me know. I live in Granby, owned Quiet Sports, a fly fishing shop in Collinsville on the Farmington river for many years. I have a place in the Adks and fish the back country ponds there quite a bit...
