Looks like he's going to finish up today. Wow what a trip, I can't wait to see the report!

I take (4) prescriptions and (1) OTC, I just drop the bottles in my first aid kit that's always with us on trips. You can (and will) get hassled down here if pulled over and they find anything out of the bottle.

You're welcome Gamma, it was a fun time and I enjoyed documenting it. Vibrio was not a thing 45 years ago when I was a kid. The massive rise in pollution has caused it in my opinion. The river that borders our property, the Natalbany River, was crystal clear and cold most of the year when I was...

I thought I'd try my hand at a trip report this will be the first one. It's just a little day trip a couple of weeks ago, but ya gotta start somewhere right? There's plenty of places to paddle around home, but it's all muddy and not moving at all and anything brackish/salty could possibly hold...

I don't want to hijack Black Fly's thread, but if anyone is interested, I'm about to build whoopie slings and ridge lines for the new hammocks I have coming out of 1/8" Amsteel. I love Hennessy hammocks, except for their suspension. If anyone is interested in the process just like this post and...

Thanks for the warm welcome Glenn. I'm really enjoying the site so far.

Great trip report! I'm hoping to get the smaller of my two dogs use to going in the canoe, I love having them with me camping. I had a little chi mix that would hang on my kayak and go everywhere with me, but he was only 13 pounds, sadly Louie is gone now. Cheese is 45 pounds and can be calm if...

Just an FYI, Hennessy has all their woodland camo hammocks kits 20% off right now. I just picked up a fresh zip one for myself and snagged one for wifey too. Now I don't have to bring a tent when she tags along. It doesn't include their ultralights, but I can't fit in those anyway, I go for the...

Man what an EPIC adventure! I checked out some pictures of the area and terrain, beautiful. This is definitely on the adventure bucket list now.

Give those boys a big ole pat on the head for me! They look like good boys! Congratulations on Max doing so well. Looks like it was a great trip.

Great thread start Glenn, as a noob to this sort of boat, I'll be following along closely. Some of the control skills displayed in the videos are amazing.

Yep, you're absolutely right Gamma, OT ain't paying me squat and that spot was perfect for the track. This is a close up of the stern. I through bolted them with a washer and nylock nut on the bottom, everything is stainless or composite. Dyneema (Amsteel) is really slick, so I'm hoping wear...

I finally got some things done this weekend, everything that's going to be done for now, except for a little rope work and anchor lead fabrication. I've been thinking about how to set it up and since will it not only be used for rivers and bayous, but also in lakes, and there's also a...

Lots of mod pics incoming later but I have a decision to make. To do the anchor points like I wanted to the best place to put the track is right over the Old Town molded logo. Do it? No? Probably gonna do it.

Maybe we drive up to Minnesota next summer with an empty canoe rack on the truck and get two boats. Tell her we're going to get my boat and surprise her. Hmmmm....:unsure:

Not a bad idea, thanks. It would have to be a surprise, she loves her kayak. 14 pounds though, man! I'll have to keep my eyes peeled.

Area code says Montana, got a friend in Billings.

Just getting going in the canoe world, so just one to date, Old Town Sportsman 119. I'm sure there will be more, I'm kinda wanting a pack canoe now. The Hornbeck canoes that Black Fly posted a link for in another thread look pretty cool and sound amazing. The 14' Classic sounds perfect at 400lb...

I've been sort of low key looking at Sawyer single blades, I really like the looks of the Voyager. I decided against it until I experimented with a couple of cheap paddles of different lengths. This is what they want for shipping to Louisiana. There's no online option for USPS.
