    Astral Rassler 2.0

    How about the ankle support, would you think they would be adequate for someone slightly prone to rolling their ankle?

    Astral Rassler 2.0

    Has anyone tried wet-footing with the Astral Rassler 2.0? They seem rather ideal, although I can find very few user reports, particularly when it comes to ankle support on a portage. Would love to hear if anybody has experience with these shoes...

    Invasive fish (northern pike) threatens Maine lakes. Huh?

    I believe in Mid-Atlantic states the muskie that are stocked are what they call tiger muskie, a hybrid between northern pike and muskellunge. Because they are a hybrid, they are unable to reproduce, and thus they do not establish themselves in the same way the northern pike are doing in Maine...

    What will be the effect of electric vehicles on canoe tripping?

    I've actually long thought that agriculture is ripe for electrification, it seems the torque of electric motors exceeds that of gas motors. More power, simpler technology, and reduced expenses. All sound like positives to me. With respect to tripping however, it is challenging to imagine getting...

    Canoe paddle collectors

    I just got a Fishell paddle set up the same way - varnished blade and shaft, oiled grip (hopefully a bit easier on my hand). I can already feel the difference when holding the paddle! Cannot wait for Algonquin and the Adirondacks this summer!!!

    Canoe paddle collectors

    Why the stark color difference between the grip and the rest of the paddle? Did you varnish the blade and shaft, but oil the grip?

    Extended Tripping in a Merlin 2?

    Has anyone had any experience with extended tripping in a Merlin 2? Curious if it has enough space for a 2+ week trip carrying paddler plus portage pack and 60L barrel...

    WTB: Looking to purchase a Bell Merlin II or Bell Yellowstone. If there is one looking for a new owner, please contact me. Thanks so much!

    Old post I know, but I was just reading up and ran across this. Do you have a photo? This sounds like a stunningly beautiful boat!

    Esquif Announces New Scout Tandem for 2023

    I did not just watch the intro video, so hopefully I am not saying the same thing - but a short / wide boat I would think would draw very little water; perhaps this is ideal for hunters or trappers trying to get into skinny, shallow creeks?

    Canoe Lake, Big Trout Lake Loop

    I'm planning an adjoining route for my first solo Algonquin trip this July, would be interested to hear from others that have done something similar - particularly interested in that section of the Petawawa River (and how much water it's likely to have in late July): Camping Lake Route...

    Esquif Avalon?

    Does anyone have experience with the Esquif Avalon? It seems perhaps comparable to an Old Town Penobscot 16, and according to the Esquif website comes with a kneeling thwart, but it seems a bit rare. Mainly just curious, also wondering if anyone has photos of inside...

    Adirondack leantos

    I get a kick out of the fact that in the Adirondacks they're Lean-tos, but down here in Maryland we call them Adirondacks!

    WTB - Northstar NW Solo / Bell Merlin II / Hemlock Peregrine (or similar)

    Oops - I mixed up the Heron for the Shearwater that's on FBM, the Shearwater is the one I took to be a larger high-capacity solo...
