Oh man, this is from 04/27/2025. I hope they had a FAST thaw. Looks like they did an out and back today. The note says "paddle", so I'm hopeful.

Hoof boots... 😄

Pack animals are the ticket. Teenagers cost more to feed than goats, and are generally rougher on gear.

I'm gonna go with Brazil due to the large number of indigenous boats. But thats just spitballing.

Geez, who pissed in your wheaties? Thats two back-to-back threads I have read with your replies showing a distinct lack of decorum. The old men yelling at clouds meeting is elsewhere.

Great post! Thank ou!

From the BBC: What went wrong? In December 2022 the MAIB published a report on the tragedy aimed at preventing future incidents. It found: The tour leaders were qualified to teach stand-up paddleboarding to beginners and novices in benign conditions but not lead tours on fast-flowing rivers...

Come on out to Indiana... 😄😄 This one is even set up to solo!

That looks like a good time! It reminded me of a video I watched a while back about airbags. I have never used them, and was quite surprised to see just how effective they could be at displacing water.

Thanks for reviving this thread. I have a new stroke to learn and a little stretch of gentle upstream on which to practice. This stroke looks exceeding comfortable

I always take deodorant. I have a very garlic-y BO, which some people find rather offensive. Soap is present, may or may not be used. I take a dip every three days if temperate, daily if I've been sweating a lot. I don't like to sleep grimy.

Well, I bought two. I will report back after a trip with them.

Sylvania is very nice! We had a great trip there last September.

Welcome, Daisy! I don't have any input for the PNW, other than I want to visit BC and do the Bowron Lakes Circuit. I really wish I would have known (believed) there is no one canoe that is truly great for all paddling. I also wish I would have started building my gear stash from lightweight...

My early learning was mostly YouTube, and mostly Canadian paddlers. Portahj has stuck with me, but only when referring to a canoe carry. Locations and such are Portij. I've recently begun referring to portages as carries, probably because I've been watching a lot of ADK paddling content.

Odd names for fish you are about to eat... 😁

Man, what a great thread. I will likely never do this route, but what a treasure trove of information. You just can't get this from facetubegram.

Can confirm. Find some neutral canned chicken that you like, drain well, shred, season, and dry. We have also had luck pressure cooking (basically canning) chunks of whole breast meat and then drying.

Fantastic trip report!

That looks amazing!
