    Cynobacterial Algae, Eurasian Milfoil and Other Icky Vegetation Befouling Lakes

    My wife and I did a quick there-and-back trip in AP just after Labour Day - Achray, Stratton, St. Andrews, St. Francis. The put-in on St. Francis is near the (an) outlet and so the murky water did not immediately raise any flags. About 20 strokes in, though, it became apparent that lake was in...

    Essential nonessentials.

    - A chair and bourbon. And I suppose that with enough of the latter, I might be able to make do with just those two things. - Prep H wipes. They are not medicated, but do contain witch hazel - swab the whole deck with those babies. - Thermarest compressible pillow. - UCO candles. Using the...

    Is Nova Craft's PAL sill relevant or just a nostalgic boat?

    I know of at least one couple (search Youtube) that does serious tripping with their's. I tried one but found the freeboard a bit disconcerting.

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

    I had a bad experience with a BeFree - premature clogging. I screwed on my backup and it clogged in short order, too. Now I have a Katadyn Pocket. It's heavy, but built like a tank, field strippable, and easy to clean. Recently we arrived on our "rest lake" - 2 nights without breaking camp. As...

    Paddle sizing revisited.

    I just got back from a trip with a new boat. I think the seat might be a bit high as I developed a hitch in my offside kidney/hip area. I think I was hunched over. This is to say that the boat you are paddling may also matter.

    Float Plane Stories

    I have a few, but one trip sticks out... We were closing the hunting camp for the year and had to pack all of the canned goods as well as load a cow and bull moose into a DHC-2. Two trips would be necessary and it was decided that the lightest person would accompany the 2 carcasses as well as...
