Yup, it's all about keeping the ladies happy, if she's willing to come with me into the bush, then she deserves a little glamping.

Canadians have this idea that we are over regulated, particularly when compared to the Land of the Free. But registering a canoe? That's horse pucky. What does one do with a home built canoe? Does it have to be inspected?

It's been all work no play this year, haven't been outside at all this winter. Walleye season closed this weekend, so Irene and I decided to get out for an overnighter of glamping and fishing. Our pal, Chainsaw Rob, lives on Wildgoose lake, about a 20 minute drive from G Town. We decided to go...

Many of us here own multiple canoes, for a variety of reasons. I'd like to think it is because each canoe does something better than the other, and is used for a distinctive purpose. Canoe designers have been working for decades to design better canoes, this is not a new concept. Fellas like...

I remember when I was taking my whitewater training, I was really into asymmetrical hulls. The guys who were instructing me were very skilled paddlers. They absolutely hated canoes with asymmetrical hulls and rocker, every one of them paddled some form of traditional hull. So these fellas would...

I wasn't sure where this was going until I saw the picture. Your primary form of propulsion is obviously going to be a double blade. Perhaps the echo is not the best canoe for purpose, set up as a pack boat with the seat on the bottom. I was going to suggest simply heeling the canoe, but that...

That's gotta be a highfalutin Torontonian thing, we call those fancy half squares of paper towel napkins.

Geeze, how did H double hockey sticks even make it past the software? First time for everything lol.

Langford canoe makes a whole lineup of canoes like this. https://langfordcanoe.com/pages/huron-16

A port is both a noun and a verb. "Where is that darn port, I want to port it before it get's dark." After porting Hell Port, I swore I would never port it again.

I don't think these types of regulations, which I'm in favour of, and try to create and enforce, are the type that we are discussing here. I think the premise of Callan's article is that anyone entering an established park for a wilderness trip should undergo some sort of mandatory training to...

There are enough rules and regulations in the world, if inexperienced people are an annoyance, stop going where they go. In Canada, get out of the over used parks and go on Crown land or unmaintained waterway parks in the north.

It's actually "port", forget about all the rest.

Here's a canoe race in Beardmore from 1968, wish this circuit was till going. I believe Verlen Kruger was the winner.

Thanks for the chuckle this morning Mr. Pitt! I am currently living in ball cap central, indeed, I even own a couple. I wonder what it would be like to move to a pony tail bro neighbourhood. I'm probably one of the most liberal minded fellas in the area, and yet the pony tail bros would...

I googled Pender Island, while sitting here amidst the misery of never ending winter. My new snowblower has been tasked with Herculean feats of strength this winter. Every second morning I am outside at 6:30 AM for two hours, Sisyphus himself would not have switched places with me, pointlessly...

Looks awesome! Love the cup holders on the top, great idea! Where did you pick up the bungee style closing straps?

Heel your curvy craft to your paddling side and you will speed right along.

If you copy Jackson Pollocks's name somewhere in there, all these creations could be worth a fair bit of coin.

I used to take some flack when I would paint a stripper, red or green. Thanks for taking the pressure off, lol. I do like it quite a lot, it certainly is unique, I can honestly say I have never seen a canoe like it.
