Children's Benadryl - reduced dosage for dogs or amp it up for adults. Could save a life.

I'd be inclined to go with Chicago screws - like you find on rifle slings.

Bark River Aurora on my belt and a Spyderco Dragonfly in my front pocket.

You mean like when LL Bean hunting boots were the only serious option and had a lifetime warranty? Yeah - praise be the MBA.

Same. I might wear my long underwear around camp in the morning. My regular canoe camping pants are plain "workwear" pants - 65/35% polyester/cotton. Tough as nails and dry quickly.

Those are exactly what I would be looking for!

That price isn't too bad, considering what wool clothing goes for these days. But I doubt it is anything like grandad's - it must have weighed 10 lbs.

What I am really missing is my grandfather's Pendelton's wool dressing gown (long rotted away). Yeah, yeah - but on a lazy winter Sunday morning it would get you to the wood pile and back. I've been searching for a replacement and the closest I've come is LARP costumes. If I could get fabric at...

I remember when Google had the "Search Forums/Discussion Groups" option. A very useful tool that probably lost them money. Now, when researching something, I always append "discussion," "forum," or "reddit" to my search terms. Pinterest is another bane - not one useful scrap of information comes...

Off to buy a Pelican 15.5...

Aside from what has been mentioned... Wood: I've only built 2 strippers, but neither has been bead and cove. I used a Lee Valley Miniature Shoulder Plane combined with Guillemot's Robo-Plane on the first one. I found the latter of the two to be largely unnecessary and used only the shoulder...

Very nice, Mem - slightly jealous that you can just pop off for a moose hunt like that. The season is only 3 weekends long here and you had better have arranged a spot ahead of time lest you run into the hoards. Congratulate your wife on the Battue - not much to go wrong with a rifle like that...

Looks like a pretty serious breach.

When I saw the title and then the author, I thought maybe you had come up with a standardized testing and classification method for canoe types and styles.

I'm going back. I have a Canadian, cottage-industry "Little Shop of Hammocks" Warrior Lite as well as a Warbonnet Blackbird XLC. I am lucky to have a small wooded area at the back of my property and I basically slept in each of them over the course of a couple of summers. Never comfortable -...

Hi André! To limit your posting due to a limited knowledge of English would surely be a detriment to us all. We barely have a command of it ourselves. Cheers!

I made this to carry my shoes while portaging. I have since made a second, smaller one for my wife's pack. We put lunch, maps, axe, etc in that one.

I like tea, but I have to be careful. The last couple of times I drank English Breakfast I got hot and cold flashes, cold sweats, nausea, elevated pulse - thought I was about to pack it in right there. I must drink too quickly - I like my hot drinks, HOT. A coffee lasts me less than a couple of...

I guess I'm a bit of a late bloomer given my first canoe experience was at the age of 14. As a child of the 70's, I've never known a Quebec that wasn't mired in language-based politics. As an anglophone Quebecer, there are certain names of politicians that can raise ire and draw dirty looks -...

Resin from dead coniferous branches tend to "leak down" and collect in crotches - what I've come to know as fat wood. Plenty of that stuff along with the regular players - the lightest shavings of cedar bark being one. Fallen pine cones are great for a quick boost, too.
