Consider reaching out to Redfeather (ORC/Bell) - they are starting up manufacturing of the Merlin again and it's SWEET. Not sure how many they have just yet - but I've been paddling the first one for a few months now and LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Out of curiosity, under what conditions/situations do you favor paddling the WildFire, and what's different when you grab the SRT? I love both boats, but I figure both likely fill a similar niche (although the SRT can clearly carry a bigger load for extended trips)...

Yeah buddy!

I feel it is challenging to do extended back country trips in the US, but it is quite easy to do so in Canada. We just do not have places like Temagami, Wabakimi, Woodland Caribou, or La Vérendrye (not to mention the limitless number of long-distance undeveloped rivers all throughout Canada). I...

I know this is an old thread, but I felt compelled to respond. I believe I paddled the very boat that Harold Deal is paddling in this video at a Hemlock open house earlier in August! The new owner had it there and let me take a spin (actually two), and I was absolutely floored with the SRT. It's...

I recently did eight days in Algonquin wet-footing, using Merrell Moab 3.0 ventilated boots. They did really well, although didn't dry quite as quickly as I had hoped. I would like to have tried the Astral Rassler, but I was unable to find any place to try them on to see what the ankle support...

I wonder if Dave is still taking orders? There's no way I can afford it right now, but I test paddled an SRT a few weeks ago and was beyond floored by that boat. Some day perhaps...

Sorry @Gamma1214 , I didn't see that you mentioned it until after I posted!

Has anyone ever tried something like this (a tow-behind water prop charger)? https://www.waterlilyturbine.com/

😂🤣😂🤣

How about the ankle support, would you think they would be adequate for someone slightly prone to rolling their ankle?

Thanks to whoever moved the conversation!!

Oops, meant this to go in gear and garments. Anybody know how to move a conversation? 😏

Has anyone tried wet-footing with the Astral Rassler 2.0? They seem rather ideal, although I can find very few user reports, particularly when it comes to ankle support on a portage. Would love to hear if anybody has experience with these shoes...

I believe in Mid-Atlantic states the muskie that are stocked are what they call tiger muskie, a hybrid between northern pike and muskellunge. Because they are a hybrid, they are unable to reproduce, and thus they do not establish themselves in the same way the northern pike are doing in Maine...

Is the red bag a CCS hybrid pack?

You're making me jealous - six years minimum to go for me!

I've actually long thought that agriculture is ripe for electrification, it seems the torque of electric motors exceeds that of gas motors. More power, simpler technology, and reduced expenses. All sound like positives to me. With respect to tripping however, it is challenging to imagine getting...

I just got a Fishell paddle set up the same way - varnished blade and shaft, oiled grip (hopefully a bit easier on my hand). I can already feel the difference when holding the paddle! Cannot wait for Algonquin and the Adirondacks this summer!!!

Why the stark color difference between the grip and the rest of the paddle? Did you varnish the blade and shaft, but oil the grip?
