Forest bathing is standing or sitting* in the woods. Feeling spiritually superior to other folks who are just out there minding their own business in the woods is a perk, but not necessarily a requirement. *Lying in the woods is called napping, and does not count as bathing.

Would hate to trip in a playboat/creekboat. And I question their relevance here. Might as well talk about kayaks.

Didn't watch far, but at least some of that is from Nanook of the North, which all us anthropology majors had to watch in college back in the 70's. Here's the original film. 1922.

Redundant. :)

No permit required for shark teeth, but plenty of other fossils you might find, so best get a permit. https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/vertpaleo/amateur-collector/fossil-permit/

Eureka sells collapsible poles. Currently on sale for $30 each and they raise up to 9 ft. They're nice to have.

Word. And I'll echo eckilson.

Do you really need something that big or is it just that the price is good?

And low and behold, this showed up in my FB memories from three years ago today!

Might I suggest a twig stove? Making cocoa over a fire in the snow is one of those quiet joys in life.

No love for Camper Christina? She comes across decidedly as an every (wo)man rather than the stereotypical outdoorsperson.

My wife the yoga instructor would caution that you should talk to your teacher prior to class about your shoulder. A good yoga teacher will then give you ways to modify each pose so as to limit damage and maximize theraputics. But it takes a good, experienced yoga teacher to do that...

Fishell paddles.

How about a Badger La Bonga? Although advertised as a "short powerful blade," I think that is more in comparison to their more traditional lake paddles. Only 104 sq in of area, in contrast to more traditional river paddles (e.g., BB Explorer at 124").

Buy it. Paddle it. If you don't like it, sell it. Highly unlikely you'll lose significant money on the deal, and then you'll know the answer. :)

On wood gunnels you'd loosen the screws for the winter so the gunnels and hull can move independently. Not sure your aluminum gunnels are screwed, but I doubt it. I also don't think it is an issue with aluminum gunnels.

Very nice. All the old and abandoned firepits I find are circles, and there are many of them on the island I usually paddle to. I should start rebuilding at least some of them to be more useful, and keep this idea in mind when I come across others that are in out of the way places.
