As a tea drinker, I'm continuously confused by the constant cascade of coffee complexities and caffeinated conflicts. I would like to know, however, if there is a dark chocolate pocket tea.

Paddling with your dad for 28 years is wonderful. You'll always remember these trips. I paddled with my dad only once, and its been 25 years since any of my kids paddled with me. Thanks for taking the time to post these reports and lovely pictures, ABT.

Jessica, welcome to the site. That 1907 book is quite a rare find. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Maine canoeists should find it historically interesting.

Was wondering what bone it would be with that sharp point. My guess: the mandible of a baleen whale or a rib.

I enjoy re-watching this video for the performative tandem excellence and because of nostalgia for my old friend Mike Galt. The way Mike and Marilu can move that almost zero-rocker Lotus Egret makes me wonder how wonderful they could have been in the far-easier-to-spin Loon Works Duets and the...

Heron and I interact at Alvord's Tower on Isola Bella (Salisbury, CT).

I hope so, Tom. Is there a way to find out the levels?

"Series of video clips, mostly in New Jersey's Pine Barrens, of canoers using their freestyle paddling skills to gracefully and efficiently maneuver tight turns and avoid objects in the water." There are only a few days left to register for the 2025 Pine Barrens Functional Freestyle Workshop...

Don't know but I found this very recent article: https://support.apple.com/en-us/105097 Now, I have to figure out what my Android can do.

@Rusty Ole' Bucket, I'm just catching up with this thread. Thanks much for taking the time to write it up and post pictures. I'm not sure we've ever had a trip report from anything in Mississippi before. We all started with the single blade at some point, and we were all incompetent at first...

In 2011, I bought a Nemo Losi 3P tent, which had won lots of awards and which I liked very much for solo canoe tripping. However, I hadn't used the tent in 10 years. When I looked at it for a trip this summer, I found the waterproof coating was degraded, the glued-on Velcro ties under the...

So, I decided to research Thermacells a bit. This video is a long but thorough review of three different Thermacell models. The reviewer makes several good points as to why the product seems to work more or less well in different circumstances. One point is that while it works, it may not...

I've been wondering if anyone used thermacells, which I'd never heard of until camping with some folks this summer. Since I now only base or car camp, gear weight is not a big issue for me. @Erica, do you use the rechargeable battery-powered or the butane-powered model of thermacell, and why...

Bugs get into tents a variety of ways. I'm mainly talking about mosquitoes and black flies. What techniques or products to you use to: (1) keep them out, (2) kill them if they get in, and (3) tolerate them if you can't kill them all? As to (3), I can't sleep in warm weather all bundled up with...

My daily driver for 22 years was a five speed 1995 Mustang GT yellow convertible. As I moved past 70 (years not mph), my clutch either got stiffer, or my left leg got weaker, or both. I couldn't stand it anymore, along with the $1,000++ every year for repair bills. But I agree: Using a stick is...

I stayed in the same room a week later, driving my '97 Dodge van. The Indian owners charged me $17 for the night. (Plus, my Dodge doesn't explode.)

"The text sent to Cook County’s 911 dispatch center said a person in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness was literally in flames." https://www.elyecho.com/article/3534,search-and-rescue-receives-multiple-false-alerts-from-satellite-enabled-iphones-in-bwca Sounds more like human than...

I've believed for 45 years that the drive is the most dangerous part of any canoe trip by far. And I definitely get nervous and pucker when driving in fairly high speed traffic through or around urban areas: NYC, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, Washington D.C., being common examples for me...

Is Fuddle also called Douglas? Just trying to keep the cast of (Malaysians?) straight from your George River report.
