Clearance. Depends a bit on model but with those recurved stems hanging down you are going to lose a lot of clearance and hook stuff.

Those guys were making some pretty good speed!!

I have a different cart with bunks that run parallel to the thwarts (when the canoe is atop). I think it was designed as a kayak cart. As others have mentioned, I have experienced a lot of twisting and have had to run lines from the bow/stern as well as use both belly straps across the...

There have been a couple of changes to how Zoleo provides weather reports. First, until late 2022, Zoleo provided local forecast from Dark Sky. After Apple purchased and discontinued Dark Sky, Zoleo switched its weather service to AerisWeather. AerisWeather is normally a fairly expensive...

Maybe the new owners of the house across the street need a canoe? I know I'd buy it if I were there.

I feel like this ^ did not get enough attention. That is a LOT of fish @Alasgun !!

Thanks, recped. Petty much what I would have expected. With water under the Typar, weight can cause some degree of wicking. I'm glad it leaves things at most only slightly damp under the sleeping in your case, but some of us weigh more (quite a bit more) than 150 lbs! So it may work for some...

Elegant solution!

I'm plainly missing something. If the legs only want to spread out and don't want to collapse in, it would seem like the idea of a rod connecting the legs should do the trick.

Exaggerating the size of fish one has caught seems to be a time honored tradition in most cultures.

For those using Tyvek or Typar as an innie, have any of you had an experience where after a major rain storm you removed the Tyvek/Typar innie to find water on the inside of the tent floor? Did the Tyvek/Typar keep that water from getting your sleeping pad, etc., wet? The reason I ask is...

Re-reading this build and going back to the original magazine article which is posted in another thread, I'm really impressed with the design of this oven and I'm a little surprised that with all the reflector ovens you can buy, including foldable ones, nobody is offering this design. I think is...

Wow! Beautiful job!!

Interesting comparison (by DuPont) explaining why Tyvek is better than Typar. https://www.dupont.com/tyvek-weatherization/typar-protection-system.html Frankly, I'm thinking just a heavy duty plastic drop cloth.

Regarding thinning tung oil prior to application, it isn't terribly important to do since the gunnels were already finished with tung oil from the factor. I'd lightly sand, vacuum, wipe down with a damp cloth, let thoroughly dry and then go after it with 100% tung oil. I use a small piece of...

100% pure tung oil is my go to.

Regarding the inside/outside debate for ground sheets, I re-read Cliff's advice from Canoeing Wild Rivers, 30th Anniversay Edition, and I don't think Cliff is advising anyone to put the groundcloth/footprint that is typically sold by the tent manufacturer to go with a specific tent model inside...

lol, I very nearly cited those exact two "controversies" in my earlier reply.

The after-market possibilities for those bolts are positively endless! :rolleyes: For those with can't seem to hit the log they are aiming for, there's the Acme "Accu-Chop" bolt-on axe-head laser sight ($199.99)! Or for those who can't quite get the hang of sharpening an axe by hand in the...

Nice looking pan. Checked their website and it doesn't seem like they sell in the U.S. They have a limited presence on Amazon with a folding pan but not the one you show.
