    Frying Pans

    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.

    Cliff Jacobson

    I like Cliff and have his Canoeing Wild Rivers, 30th Anniversary Edition. Lots of good information in that book.

    PIctures of celebrities in canoes

    At least Ned Beatty and Burt Reynolds appear to be vaguely familiar with how to hold paddles and the concept of tandem paddling. John Voight looks hopeless.

    The Millinocket Carry, Northern Maine

    Just seeing this. I'm not sure how I missed this when it came out; it's really a wonderful TR and I equally enjoyed Hope's map/photo essay. That's a really cool way to do a TR.

    Online wilderness first aid class? Experience and/or comments?

    That was the first half of the question. Also curious for what purpose. My best guess is these classes qualify you under some jurisdictions' Good Samaritan Laws. These laws generally protect people who (1) aren't compensated and (2) act in good faith from being sued for attempting to render...

    Online wilderness first aid class? Experience and/or comments?

    Of course. The question is who accepts this certification and for what purposes?

    Online wilderness first aid class? Experience and/or comments?

    What does it mean that "the certification is good for 3 years"? Good for what? Does their certification have some kind of significance outside of the organization offering it? My local canoe club offered a 90 minute, on-line wilderness first aid lecture conducted by a guy from one of the...

    Knee Pain

    Roy we're about the same age and I'll bet the same weight. My knees aren't much of a problem but I don't work on a factory floor. But my ankles give me problems! After an hour or so of kneeling, my ankles fall asleep! I try to kneel in the whitewater and sit in the flat water, that helps. Or...

    here's one NOT on my bucket list

    Man has skill getting to the waterfall. After that I still say gravity.

    here's one NOT on my bucket list

    In my opinion this is just gravity. Skill has little or nothing to do with the outcome. Might as well have been in a barrel.

    First stripper build: Prospector-16 Help & comments appreciated

    Yes, that's exactly how I did it on my Wabnaki and I'm so glad I did!!! Great for tie downs to the car and the low placement makes it a good location for painters when you are lining the canoe!

    Poling Fun on the Potomac

    Great stretch of river! And with the lack of rain the Potomac is running as low and clear as I've ever seen! Perfect time to pole! clear

    Any thoughts on drysuits?

    I'm not an expert but here's my take. I like socks on a dry suit. I don't understand the use case for a semi-dry suit. Either the water/air are cold enough to warrant a dry suit or they aren't. My personal opinion is it's just a way to have a lower price point than a full dry suit. If you...

    In case Doug doesn't respond, I've still got one -- in Maryland outside DC.

    My Wabnaki

    None of the flaws you see will be noticed by others and won't matter when you are out paddling it. Trust me.

    Seeking advice on super wide water shoes

    I have worn fleece socks. They get wet but dry quickly. In cold weather, the Kokatat Launch Socks with any regular wool sock beneath is a great combo. https://www.canoetripping.net/threads/kokatat-launch-socks-review.127585/
