Just finished making two food packs for Maine Guide Rob Scribner of Sunrise Canoe and Kayak in Machias. Rob runs a great trip down the Machias River, and his father trained generations of guides as a professor and head of the outdoor recreation department at the local university. The packs holds...

Memaquay, I'd like to take your offer to help out with maps. Should we discuss off line? Thanks so much.

Is the Marshall Lake loop all crown land? I like the idea of a loop.

I have managed to find a full month for a canoe trip this summer. I've been contemplating a mixed route in Wabakimi but am open to suggestions. Anybody?

When I need more than a merino t-shirt, I'm wearing a traditional wool shirt: Filson, older Woolrich, Johnson Woolen Mills.

I will take you up on that! I was thinking about hitting the St. George again this weekend, if you're interested. Otherwise, I'll reach out in early March.

Thank you, Glenn. This is exactly the kind of advice I was hoping for. Very much appreciated.

Glenn, I was happy for your post and really enjoyed the entire series of Tom Foster videos. In addition to being a great paddler, he has the perfect voice for it. But he's in a play boat, and what I'm after is a something that talks a little about paddling asymmetrical tripping hulls, especially...

I finally learned to love my SRT and have run a number of Maine Rivers in it now. On some ledge drops that I would consider minor, I have taken on water over the bow. This has me thinking about a spray deck. I'm not trying to instigate a debate about the general value of spray decks. Rather, I...

Is anyone else suffering seasonal withdrawal syndrome now that paddling days are far and few between?

Actually, I'd like to know if there will a raffle because I would like to donate an item. Glenn?

Sent via Paypal. Thanks for managing the site, Glenn. Don't know how I would make it through the hard water season without it.

Not mine but something a friend shared with me a while back. I'm pretty sure he didn't write it.

Thought this might help answer the question.

Yup, at Spencer Rips portage I bumped into a husband and wife preparing lunch on the tailgate of their truck after a morning of bird hunting. They shared a cup of clam chowder and half a ham and cheese grilled sandwich with me. On the Appalachian Trail they call such folks "trail angels." It was...

The one bear we know of in Camden only comes into town to visit the Rankins hardware store.
