Search results

It is the story from this spring, 2 got rescued and 2 were recovered after an extended search and rescue effort.

I can't see them either.

Depends on type of canoe - hull layup and gunnels material, etc.

After ruining a few phones I bought a waterproof Olympus Tough TG6 waterproof camera, nothing fancy but it is waterproof and has probably saved me a phone or 2.

The next one.........................................

I subscribe to paddle planner and they track cancelled permits, there were many days of 50 cancelled BWCA this year. I was able to change a permit to my preferred location right around the 4th of July. Once you get past Sept 15th there are a lot more openings and as said previously October is...

I spray gelcoat but your canoe doesn't look like it has any gelcoat, just a skin coat of resin which is probably vinylester.

I like spraying it. Why do you want to add gelcoat and the weight to that canoe?

Just went in and out of Canada with my passport card no issues. Had my dog with and nobody asked to see any vaccine documentation on him at all.

My favorite way to canoe trip these days is with 2 or 3 other folks doing "solo" together.

The only new gear I bought this year was some Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee certified food storage barrels and bags to comply with the new rules in the BWCA.

Option #1 Option #2 depends on what it is but I usually bury it which is no worse than the Forest Service in the BWCA telling you to bury your fish remains. Option #3 is pack it out Honestly though, I don't usually get past option #1!

As I get older I pretty much always take a backrest for the canoe, a chair for camp and my dog to have someone to talk to.

On cold, sleet filled October night in the BWCA there were 4 of us in the tent and quite a racket was going on just outside the door. In the damp dark we convinced ourselfs that we had a bear in camp so I slowly stuck my head out the door and my flashlight fell upon a pair of skunks who had...

I prefer a 7 degree bent shaft but usually take a straight shaft too.

She unfortunately chased a car, caught it, passed it and cut right in front of it and the driver never saw her. Took me over a year to think about even getting another pup but I think I lucked out again and found a great tripping partner.

My constant companion, 1st pic was April in the backwaters of the Mississippi and the 2nd pic was in the BWCA in May.

Whether it's a move day or not I'm usually the first up and I start the coffee before pretty much anything else. I enjoy a quiet cup of early morning brew to get my day going.

Well when I bought mine they were only $350 and have been on 50+ trips over the past 15 years and still going strong so I'm down to $7 per trip.
