    End of season roundup and Litterati

    Great job Sweetfancy. I hope they find the person. i have heard of counties and municipalities hiring full time investigators to find “dumpers” The cost of the investigator was less than the clean up costs. We will find tires and other large trash in the same spots year after year: undeveloped...

    End of season roundup and Litterati

    Another paddling season has ended for us here in Minnesota. The boats and gear are stowed away. We had an average number of miles paddled as well as different bodies of water we were on. That was despite the fact that we didn’t take our normal late Spring trip because of COVID. Our trash pick up...

    Vintage 1974 North Face Sleeping Bag

    I had -30 Fahrenheit Hollowfill II bag in the ‘80’s. Used it hard for 4 months straight. Then lightly for two years. At the end of this time, it was about a +20 Fahrenheit bag. Down only for my wife and I because of durability, comfort, and weight. Thanks

    Overhead Canoe Storage

Keep one strap attached into a loop. The other strap is unattached. Put one end of the canoe into the looped strap. Lift...

    Iowan's Cleaning rivers by Canoe

    Great job Jim! We have never participated in a group cleanup on the water. We would like to though, just to meet some fellow paddlers and get some reassurance that at least a few people care. Our local bicycle club holds an annual trail cleanup and we have participated in that. We may be on a...
