I found plenty of links via a Google search. It looks like they may not be operating currently. The last address was in the Shawinigan area and from what I can discern they were only making paddles in recent times (recent = 15 - 20 years ago). They had a website at one time but it's no longer...

Yes this is important stuff! On the rare occasion when I paddle tandem (I'm in the stern), the bow paddler is generally lacking in experience and/or they have always paddled bow and do not have eyes in the back of their head. I find they often start to increase their stroke rate, doing so makes...

The natural colour for Royalex is white(ish), the raw Royalex is then covered by a vinyl skin which can be any colour. Your boat might have had a vinyl layer that was teal, then repainted yellow (or vice versa).

One of the most common causes of what you are describing is simple bad paddling technique, It is however quite easy to fix. You are probably doing a sweep stroke with your paddle looking like this "\" instead of like this "|". Keels on a canoe don't really help and can in fact make the...

I can't really explain why but it takes me 3 - 4 hours to wake up, get up, pack up and get moving. Getting on the water before Noon is a rare event.

Looks like it's limited to the Le Domaine "green zone" only, a pretty small portion of the park.

Thanks Glenn, your reply is what I assumed and after reading your recent post about themes I understood that only the default themes are free of this (minor) issue. I made a brief switch to one of the default themes but I'm back using Chestnut Green as it is the most pleasing to MY eyes.

Similar issue with the Chestnut Green theme. It's always been that way, If some writes "I have posted a video" and they bury the link in the word "video" it's difficult (for me) to see that the word video is actually a link.

@jdeerfoot Curious what your planned route was? I camped at the portage from Harris to Harold in 2017, my first night of a 46 day trip ending at Fort Albany on James Bay. All the ports getting to Savant Lake were pretty overgrown, I did a small amount of clearing but didn't bring my big snips...

I didn't vote because I have zero experience with a Kevlar hull. Pretty much all my Royalex boats have a variety of holes used for gear cages mostly, flotation rarely. A minor bonus with the holes in the hull, sometimes you just need to get to shore and roll the boat over to get rid of a...

I missed it completely!

I'm fairly confident I can see the take out and trail, I am a bit less confident that the little light coloured smear I see up by the larger trees is actually a marker. Flagging tape is variable for my eyes, if it's the classic really bright orange/red I'm ok but some of the low quality...

Requirements to enter Canada, note that they vary depending on your country of citizenship and mode of entry (air/ground/marine) https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/td-dv-eng.html I can't find a clean link for re-entering the US but I did find this...

The Slalom C1 finals yesterday were fantastic, the last paddler blew everyone away with no penalties and the best time by 5 seconds. The decked canoeist kneels on a pedestal No pedestals in the CI boats that I could see, don't know where you would fit one given the very shallow depth of those...

I think the InReach fee when suspended is $6 month (I'm on a 9 year old plan so new subscriptions could be a bit different. You only pay the full fee when the device is active and even that is prorated so if you only use for one week you pay 25% of whatever plan you are on. I don't really enjoy...

To each his/her own, I've tried a few Peak meals and was not overly impressed. I'm not that fond of Mountain House either but both brands are acceptable. I usually purchase Alpine Aire and Backpackers Pantry, they have a wider assortment which I like because I have a hard time enjoying the same...

I've done trips a bit northwest of Wabakimi in September (last three weeks), it's very nice to catch the colour change. The weather was mostly very nice (some windbound days) but I did have a tiny bit of snow overnight on the last day or two, it all melted away by mid-morning and by the...

Various things......paddles, quite a few of them but the only really nice ones were repossessed by my companions who had lost them in a dump up river. Nalgene 1 litre bottles (several), shampoo, cutlery (never a long spoon to replace the several I have left behind, tent pegs, a bit of fishing...
