    PFD Zipper vs Buckles

    Prior to getting antsy and running out to the local fleet supply store to buy the two we now have, I did see these Ninja's were highly regarded and rated. :confused: Darn. I suppose no PFD manufacturer would tout "Our vests have consistently outperformed our competitors when it comes to donning...

    PFD Zipper vs Buckles

    I/we rarely wear our PFDs. Never owned a bike helmet, nor wear a hard hat when using a chainsaw. Just grew up this way I guess. I'm not a gear junky and have re-purposed our 30-yr-old (buckled) water skiing life jackets as our tripping PFDs as they tuck nicely behind the carry handles. We just...

    Cree River Summer 2023

    Super impressive & inspiring and that from just the first few paragraphs! Is "Rock On" a good rallying cry for trippers?

    " Gear" meaning body parts.

    Jusy to clarify we have no delusions of running this monster. I would just love to hear from someone that has as I cannot wrap my mind around it.

    We've considered that but does that expose more rock?

    Vermilion River MN

    Anyone ever done this?!? Was up here this past weekend on a small trip to test some gear and a "new" shoulder. Lots of rain and horrible black flies so drove a bit to check out the Vermilion river. Completely out of my league to talk whitewater but had to post this as I cannot envision anyone...

    Ed's Contoured Seats in Yet Another 90's Era MR

    I agree this makes sense stevet but I could only use the arms as a guide for the cuts which worked great. If I were to use the holes as a template, they would've been off center on the arms and getting concerningly close to the edges. Or if I were to center the hole on one arm, the adjacent...

    Ed's Contoured Seats in Yet Another 90's Era MR

    Thanks Alan. Actually wanted to over-drill by twice that however upon chucking that bit it was bent and wobbled so horribly it would've drilled a 1/2" hole. I really never expected it all to go together without reaming out the holes further but I guess there was enough flex in everything as a...

    Ed's Contoured Seats in Yet Another 90's Era MR

    Nothing really crafty or complicated with this modification but sharing what I learned from doing this a second time around in case someone else wishes to tackle this. Take-Aways as follows... My first time-around I tried to use the truss-style hangers but struggled matching them up with...

    I mentioned this in a different post so following up on sharing the photo as a curiosity as really know nothing about it.

    Stain or ? Over Spar Urethane?

    They are in & not refinished. Did add some Teak Oil to end grain where they were cut to fit. Looks goofy in my opinion but the finishing will come later as we committed ourselves to a small trip beginning Thurs so packing & planning already. Blech...I do want to match finishes a bit more.

    Stain or ? Over Spar Urethane?

    Ugggggh. May not get to the finishing today as ran into this snag. I do remember adjusting for this with my 1st set of replacement seats a few years back. I hope the hanger bolts have enough play to be able to drill through the center of the seat "arm". If I learn anything of relevance I may...
