Have a good one, Robin. Enjoy the solitude, the scenery and the fishing. G.

Corel Video Studio here. I really don't know how to exploit every feature yet and probably only do one video per year, so it's like learning all over again every time I use it. It takes patience to make good canoe tripping videos. I liked Robin's videos the first time I saw one, and that sort of...

Will be following, take care. G.

Glad you fulfilled that dream and wish you many more. Nice to see a younger generation replacing us LV oldies. Latest news from the SEPAQ people running canoe camping in LV is that they are going to build another headquarters at the North entrance to the park (actually it's a Reserve Faunique)...

Thanks Mason, I'll have to recheck that. G.

Interesting review WB. Thanks for posting. I have always wondered if I could get a Rapidfire across the border without paying too much duty. Hardly ever seen one up here and absolutely nothing on the used market. G.

Yes, seen the trip report over there. Thanks for posting it. Great read. First time I ever salivated while reading a TR.;) G.

I met Robin over on MYCCR many a moon ago and liked the man and his values. I followed him here, and he got me hooked on this site. Love the attitude here. Lots of respect for the other person and their opinions + lots of knowledge being spread around. Even after my final trip is done, I'll be...

That's quite an adventure Cruiser. Glad you made it through ok and wish you many more trips. G.

Yep, the start of this race is quite a spectacle. Never participated, but had a chance to witness the start in 2008 while on a trip up there. Good luck to all 2022 participants. G.

Looks like trip finished today as satellite tracking shows arrival at Moose Factory. Camp sites for the last 2 days should be interesting as they were in real boggy country. Now for the trip report. G.

Will be following. Have a good trip. G.

Always nice to watch. Thanks, Robin. G.

Man and moose. Great photo. G.

Life is a succession of projects. This one needs a lot of TLC. Can't wait to see pictures of it once restored. I'm sure you will enjoy those cold winter nights, by the wood stove, bringing her back to a better condition. Enjoy the process. G.

Nice to see that you are enjoying the northern part of Maine. Did you have to travel very far? That canoe is a beauty. Love to have one of them, but at my age, my body is begging for carbon. Take care. G.

As Gumpus does, the dog should be in front of you. I find that in a +/- 15 foot solo having the dog in the middle of the canoe (specially a big dog) and the lighter packs further out loosens up the ends of the canoe for manoeuvring. Once in the canoe, the dog should remain quiet. This requires...

Hey YC. Yes, it's heavy and bulky, but without it, I could not sleep well anymore. A long way from the first days in the early 70's when we used to sleep on bough beds. Of course, we could also portage a pack and 80 lbs canoe simultaneously then. Glenn, many thanks for your continuous...

I'm 83 and a walking (limping) wounded (like most oldies who have had an active lifestyle). Looking for a lighter solo canoe for those long portages on my solo trips. Can't decide between a regular solo boat or a Cruiser as my kneeling days are almost extinct. Favourite pieces of equipment are a...
