@Glenn MacGrady Many thanks for your praise. (y) That's the beauty of being able to build things yourself - exactly the way you need them - and if it also looks good, all the better. regards Michael

as the “Wilma” has wide hips (91cm wide) - it is difficult to paddle sensibly in the middle seating position. On calm water I always slide to the side of the bench seat, close to the gunnel. This also means that the Wilma is easier to steer. . . On faster-flowing water with difficulty...

maybe it shouldn't be called a seat but rather a bench ... ;) I have corrected the title to: new canoe bench in ash wood

Yes, exactly! A port and a starboard seat in one ... With the “old” seat, I had simply attached two pieces to the left and right of the middle seat. BUT - on trips lasting several days, I had the problem that I was sitting on the wooden plank and my small, bony bottom quickly became sore. As I...

Hello everyone, I have built myself a new canoe seat in ash wood. The “old” one was just good enough for the experimental time until the new one was ready. It was just a makeshift solution. But now I have a solid and beautiful new canoe seat in ash with the beautiful wickerwork. just have a...

I like these things too - but to buy is not a option for me. So - I make it by my owen . . . . also a tool-roll . . . or to put in my cutting tools . . . . regards Michael

i don't think any of these specialists would get through a boulder garden with a normal canoe loaded for a pack tour ... ;)

Best tripping coffee mug ? ... is the one you have with you! ;) I know some people who like to forget this - and then in the morning they look quite stupid.

My favorite tool is the LEATHERMAN Wave plus. It's handy and not too heavy - and you can work really well with it! I can repair anything with this thing - like MacGyver - provided you know what you're doing. . . . . . . regards Michael

With carpal tunnel syndrome, it is difficult to say how to do what. Depending on which nerve or tendon is affected, the “deficits” are very different ... Sometimes individual fingers are numb, cold or painful. Sometimes several fingers are tingling, numb or cold and lack sensation. Symtomatic...

sure - there was all the time the lid on Top - as well as some coals for the top heat. I only ever took the lid off before taking the photos and put it to one side ... the iron ball was only used as reinforcement for the lid ... the roast was a little too thick, so that the lid didn't rest...

this is a little garlic ... ;)

Well, it's not a recipe ... but ... take some meat, a handful of onions, some tomato and red bell pepper, Carrots, some mushrooms and some spices like salt, pepper, rosemary or thyme - according to taste. A little garlic and then, very importantly, Heinz. Fry, steam and cook everything in...

Sorry @Stoney Oats but it looks like it would be very lucrative to paddle after you ;)

O.K. here is the ultimate YouTube channel from my friend Felix for folding knifes & swiss army knifes! https://www.youtube.com/@FelixImmler ;)

@CaptainOllieWest so how it can looks like with kids on on a weekend in camp ... this is the son of a friend of mine ... he was also 10 years old at the time ... and that weekend I kept an eye on him ... . Arriving and getting ready for the day. Fill up the water bottle and get some snacks...

like this ... ;) . . . regards Michael

Either he gets a knife - or he doesn't. And if he gets a knife, it should be a knife and not a toy. A good camp knife (also for younger people) is a Mora Companion. Inexpensive, sturdy, good grip and durable. With the Mora he can do everything he needs to do in camp. Building shelter, prepare...

ha_ha (y)- THAT's a full time job!!! For both of you. And all having a big smile ... living is good :)

(y) (y) (y) From the looks of this adapter, will it be exactly what you need. Ha! and since you've already had experience with an adapter on the walking poles and know how to use it, this adapter would definitely work with a canoe paddle. Great!
