Looks fantastic! What's 2 pounds anyway!

I bought an Olympus TG6, it's waterproof to 50' and the strap will keep it afloat if I drop it in. I have played with a couple of underwater shots too and I'm going to be trying more of those.

Coffee and lake water, occasionally I'll filter it and once in awhile I put some flavoring it. I also tend to put a couple of frozen bottles of gatorade and 1 small bottle of frozen milk in the bottom of my bear barrel. After a couple of days I have a nice cold drink and I have 1 breakfast of...

I love fishing out of a canoe vs any other way. If I'm paddling I usually am trolling.

This is the one I made

I have a 8 degree bent shaft that I love and use most of the time in the stern.

I'll be 66 next week and intend to keep going as long as I can. One thing I have done over the years is trip a lot with younger folks and now it's starting to pay off. On a rather difficult trip last winter to the BWCA the group kept telling me I had earned a break so I never had to break...

Yeah, that's a skin coat not gel coat. Can you find out from the manufacturer whether they are using polyester, vinyl ester or epoxy? Light sanding and a coat of whatever it was made with would be best. I would never varnish a hull composite hull.

I just cut a foam mat to fit and it's held on with my Frost River seat pack.

The past few years I've taken a number of group "solo" trips to the BWCA. Usually consists of 3 or 4 folks all paddling solo canoes but camping together. We all pack like we're on a solo trip, do whatever we want during the days but camp together in the evenings. I've found this a great way...

I like your wire stands too. I never varnish, always oil.

I have tried a couple of different pour over types vs tea bag types. Haven't found one I really like but I found just the bags for sale so I'm going to try that with my own choice of coffee. I also use a Stanley french press thermos often.

Don't give up on the BWCA - you will love it. I had to change entry points in September but did manage to go.

I thought it was pretty good for their 1st year back. They were more spread out because of fewer vendors and they used more of the building. Crowds weren't as large as in the past but I think they will be pleased at the turnout. The biggest 3 canoe makers (Wenonah - Northstar - Swift) seemed...

Pretty well attended and I see a lot of boats being sold and loaded.

I start tapping next week in MN and there's nothing better and more worth it than taking your own syrup on a trip

Most of my trips are to the BWCA or Voyageurs National park where even electric saws aren't allowed.

I've been a number of times, even went a couple of years as a vendor for Merrimack canoes. This year I'm taking a big leap and am doing a presentation on canoe camping with your pup. It's a great event and I'm hoping to be able to take in a bunch of the other presentations while I'm there.

I use my windows laptop the most but also use my windows desktop and android phone without any issues (anymore - thanks by the way for getting this all up and running on the new site)
