    How much do you baby your composite boat on shore? (susceptibility to scratches?)

    Scratches add character. I don't baby my canoes but I don't abuse them either. If you're worried about scratches Bill Swift will tell you, Two Tone Colour Because scratches on your boat always appear white, we offer a Champagne coloured bottom to keep your boat looking newer, longer and to...

    Rec Barrel Works - Expedition Canoe Pack

    I like barrels and there are a lot of good reasons to use them. I have 3 all with good harnesses but I don't like the barrel digging in on my spine. One of the barrels is hooked up to an old wooden pack frame that rides great but the frame weighs 5 pounds so it only goes on trips with few carries.

    Cold handle frying pans, they’re still out there.

    CHFPs are one of the first things I look for in second-hand stores.

    Yet another Whitney Loop TR

    We spent the third night at the primitive site on Bog Pond. A little note here about the site: There is a fire ring in the field but after the downpour of that day the field was running water and had no place to hang a hammock. We started to look around for a dryer spot to stay. I found what...

    Electrical device you are most likely and least likely to eliminate

    Inreach, camera, headlamp, and a weather radio, which has saved my bacon on a couple of trips. I'm not giving any of them up. The phone stays in the car.

    Poll: What is Your Current Preferred Method of Water Filtration/Purification?

    I have an MSR Gravity Feed but use Sawyer Filters that work great as long as your pre-moisten them.

    Essential nonessentials.

    Cut the toothbrush in half, remove the labels, etc, etc...whatever else you need to do to cut down on the weight but the chair goes with me on every trip. I have always used a canoe seat until this year and made it thru 3 trips this year without missing it. For our Whitney Loop try, I found a...

    Great Solo trip to the North Maine Woods

    @Ruttrowe if you make it back to the area, paddle into Daggett Pond. I have never seen as many moose (and Great Blue's) in that small section of Ciss Stream. The carry up to Shallow Pond from Daggett is fun (not maintained) and if you do it at the end of July/beginning of August, there are a lot...
