My go to for hanging seats is a little dab of hot glue. As for getting the nut started, the magnetic tipped nut driver works well... the ones that fit into the driver extension... I use them without a handle to start so I can feel if I've cross threaded or not. other shop hands usually involve...

Lol, yes, I was just trying to make light of an awful situation.. we used to have the block heaters in all our cars too. Growing up in northern NY, -30plus Frankenstein , those old carbuerated cars wouldn't start without it. Haven't seen the need over the past 15 or 20 years though. Warmer...

Dang! That stinks. question though Mem... what respectable Canadian would store a perfectly good extension cord outside in a snowbank all winter? Jason

Great read! Can't wait for more Jason

Never had a problem here... and I drive a Mazda 3. The whole windshield is covered, and hood, and bumper.... even hauling a 17' grumman. They always get yer cash. Jason

Ha! There have been a number of times! Jason

yeah, there's all kinds of kinds... even in law enforcement. Add youth to that equation, and there you have it. We were all a little headstrong in our twenties. a grand chunk of an officers salary is squandered in taxes, same as anyone else. I've seen alot of good, and alot of not as good when...

I taking a stab in the dark here but I always assumed that cost and weight were the reasons you see aluminum rivets on those gunnels. SS bolts, locks, and cap nuts would get pretty expensive no? Every 3" for roughly 17' of gunnell..(16' canoe right?). about 140 bolts? How many bolts are in a...

Hahahahah! I've been there before too! Lows Lake ADK, in the first week of May, days after ice out. Jason

Beautiful!

Nice! Congrats on the hunt! Eagerly awaiting your report jason

Very nice! jason

G-Flex here too! Dont forget to touch the repair area with the torch first. (Dont make it hot, just run the blue flame over once) I guess it changes the chemical composition on the surface of the roalex and helps with adhesion. I've never tested without this step. I've never had a gflex...

Very nice! A few years ago, I purchased the NRS expedition dry duffel.(70l) Works great, I like the larger opening of the duffel vs a traditional dry bag. It sure does make packing alot faster and easier. They are heavy though. I carry mine strapped into the NRS paragon pack. Which also...

I'm gonna say that "peak 1" was not a stove model but a line of gear. They put that on everything ...packs, stoves, lanterns, cook sets, etc. I personally have owned or still own 2 different stoves and a mini lantern that are "peak 1" Jason Eta: I think I still have an old frame pack that says...

I have the same peak 1 with the burner attached to the top of the tank. (Says Peak 1 in red letters on the stove) I purchased it mid 90's and made lots of coffee and shave water from the back of a HMMWV with it while out in the field Jason

Same here! I mount those same burners to my wannigan and presto! Two burner kitchen setup. Doug, i have never actually cooked anything in the canoe, my usual luck for canoe trips either means lots of rain, or high winds! Jason

Your list is almost spot on... my guess is that you either have not used the LMF spork (I call it a combo spoon, a spork to me is a spoon with the tip notched out to kinda act like a fork) for very long, or are a VERY delicate eater. I purchased 6 for the family (wife, 2 daughters and me) and...

Yes, nice job! and +1 on the premade stuff. Maybe even a backyard campfire and "just add water" blueberry muffin mix to get a feel for how the baking part goes. As Canot says, it takes a little getting used to. ie: how big to make the flames, how close to the fire, is it baking evenly or...

Thanks for hanging in there and figuring out how to post the photos! I Very much enjoyed reading about your trip ! Jason
