    Pocket Coffee

    Got the MH stuff in yesterday and made a cup this morning: not bad. Not bad at all.

    Pocket Coffee

    The Aeropress is THE ticket for quality coffee in the sticks. Heck, I use mine every morning at the house with an electric kettle. It offers so much control over brewing, if you want to fiddle, and is stupid simple to operate and clean. Aeropress GO for the woods and the Original for the...

    Reservoir Manicouagan QC Aug/Sep 2025

    Best part of my morning: quiet house, stout coffee, and an update from @recped. I'm really becoming more and more interested in making this trip.

    Kudos to Nemo Equipment for their lifetime warranty

    I have also invoked Nemo's warranty and found them easy to deal with. You will like that pad, very comfortable. Bulky, but oh-so-comfortable. I had a similar waterproofing issue on a tent of that vintage. Nemo explained the issue to me, which was basically two chemical treatments that are...

    Rutabaga Paddlesports in Madison, Wisconsin, is Closing (NO - Staying Open)

    Both, is what I got from his blog post. He didn't find a buyer that he was confident would be up to the standard of his legacy. Wanting something to carry on "as-is" beyond your time of influence nearly always demands a transfer to another sole proprietor, and always excludes sale to private...

    Reservoir Manicouagan QC Aug/Sep 2025

    I tried to type an explanation for this, but never really got it to where I thought it clear enough. So, here is a simple sketch, enhanced by AI, that shows the principle of turning clockwise to travel counter-clockwise. Basically, forward motion orbiting a fixed point determines CW or CCW. So...

    So, is this IXP, or did you also choose a different layup?

    Pill Box

    This looks like a nice option: https://www.matadorequipment.com/products/waterproof-pill-canister?srsltid=AfmBOoqRvPk0QBBwGfY_rBLHXnp4IOFJZz4K-5CVTCxbstQBoNRGy8jk I just use tiny ziplocs in my first aid kit or ditty bag. They are like $5 per hundred from various retailers.

    Turtle Flambeau Flowage , my pup Max ‘s first trip … success!!

    @Bob B. Which Lean is that? 1 or 2? I have a 3, and it is probably too big. I've been thinking about trying to trade it, but I don't see many comparison pics of the other sizes with gear in them.

    Sold

    Dogpiling a new member seems a bit poor form. No reverse image results, not cross posted, not showing up repeatedly on other forums and groups. Might have just been a great deal. I've lucked into two very low priced canoes in the last two years, and one was on this very forum. I am very...

    I made contact with him. It is sold. And he was in montana.

    2025 Canadian Wildfires

    Risky business, indeed. I hope he wins enough to buy his own water bomber. Civil disobedience is the way in these examples of .gov overreach. And if the pioneers make a ton of money for their bravery, so much the better. Tyranny always hopes to make an example out of the first few dissidents...

    2025 Canadian Wildfires

    I have been reading more history as I age and I have been struck by the prevalence of seemingly cataclysmic fire in those writings.
