Thank you, Dave, for this link and the other one. Thursday night is my free eve this week and these shall be my entertainment.

Perhaps this is a discussion that needed to happen. Philtrum makes some good points in terms of posting guidelines as I find the goal posts here rather arbitrary. Most of my building experience has been with kayaks. My canoes are all commercial models. When I've participated in build threads...

Oh-oh... long range shootin' is incredibly addictive. A discipline that can turn a feller's reloadin' bench into something that resembles a full scale lab. A bookshelf full of manuals and a computer loaded with ballistics software. Next thing ya know you're haulin' a 14 lb rifle around the...

The "below the water line" rating pertains to craft that stay in the water. Irrelevant for our purposes.

Saw a bunch of them here locally when they first appeared on the market. Everyone (kids), said they would replace the kayaks on the river and lakes. Now, just a few years later, I seldom see a one of 'em running around.

Outstanding, sir.

Ridiculous. Mine is much better. It cost me $35 or so but its a piece of foam stuffed in an airtight bag that compresses down nice and flat and airs itself up in less than a second when you open the valve. Hey, wait a minute....

Ya know, I was simply presenting an alternative perspective. Obviously not much room in your reality for such. Perhaps you could make your point in a rather less denigrating manner.

For some this simply part of the call. The what-ifs are part of the journey. More a male thing I'd imagine. Those whom hear the call for solitary adventure cannot hope to explain it to those whom do not. For some, the need to engage in a solitary wilderness adventure is just that - a need...

My paddlin' radio is an Icom M88 VHF. Its a basic featured radio, very rugged and has served me well for a decade now. Stays in my vest. My basecamp radio is a C Crane CC pocket radio. Its a small AM/FM/NOAA portable. This is my third season with the C Crane and its performed very well...

I'd give Northstar a call and talk with Bear. He's a very helpful person whom I'm sure could advise you well. 763.631.2231 info@northstarcanoes.com

Those are beautiful. Very nice work.

I always have a bandana or two with me. Useful iitems for a variety of scenarios.

I had no idea what ghee was thus gave it a search. Very interesting product. I'll be giving it a play. Thank you for the heads-up.

Agreed. I put it off for a long time as it sounded like to much trouble. Picked up a dehydrator at a yard sale for the hell of it and off we went. I enjoy working up new concoctions over the winter and trying them out before paddling season arrives. My camping menu has improved noticeably...

Honey on hot fresh bannock is just about as good as life can get. Anyone ever made a bannock bowl? Works best if ya have some grease or lard but oil will work, too. Take a green limb of appropriate diameter, carve the end clean, smooth and round. Grease it up and mold your dough around the...

And don't forget... bannock is great with... BACON! :)

My routine is very similar.
