If you are interested in moving water, the Allegash Wilderness Waterway is a lovely stretch of river that has a good number of campsites. No carries other than the dam.

All good, lol. You advice is spot on though. If I had to distill all the advice I've received on this site into one pithy little blurb, it would be: "Just do it. If you run into problems along the way, we will help you."

Sorry guys, I was trying to spoof another thread, but clearly a swing and a miss. 😁 In seriousness, I did receive some great advice from this forum on repairing my Supernova after a transport accident.

Hey all, I'm thinking about buying a new canoe and I am worried that I am going to end up damaging the hull at some point. What's the best technique and material for returning the damage to factory new condition?

A lot of Maine wilderness is privately owned by timber and mineral companies. Some of these areas are available for camping via agreements with the state, i.e the Allegash Wilderness Waterway. Generally speaking, state land camping is on degnated sites only. There are some areas that may allow...

This is your first canoe, right? How many trips per year will you use it? I took four guys to the BWCA a few years ago. We rented a NW18, a B17, and a Polaris. By the end of the trip, they all had opinions about what they liked and what they didn't. There was no consensus other than the Polaris...

It won't matter for you until you have paddled a good number of canoes and have developed a taste for what you like. Put three beginner men and their gear in one boat, and the differences in load distribution and paddler skill will matter orders of magnitude more than slight variances in hull...

You say a week to 10 days or less, don't forget to factor drive time, put-in and take out days, and a weather day. Just the drive from Missouri to any town close to wabakimi will take more than 16 hours. Canoe country in SK would be 24 hours from MO. Either of those will require a launch/exit or...

Depends on the paint, varnish, desired sheen, and coverage. But, for general fluid weight, spar varnish runs about 7.5 pounds per gallon and enamel paint runs about 11 pounds per gallon. Both will significantly reduce during curing. Enamel paint and varnish both have a wide range of solids by...

Yeah, with rapidly decreasing inventory and regular price adjustments, just keeping the web store open would be a full-time effort. Although, it probably would clear things out in a hurry.

Prices have decreased even further, across all fleet models. I'm having a hard time not making the drive... https://whiterosecanoe.com/?fbclid=IwY2xjawHwI9JleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHRNwE4mz8nIR5vByAQhc2355Xhy1ZkctoWYg_3jcG2P9bZl54zasE5bBTg_aem_wB0fZvdZjTjXEeykPIBQgA

Right?! I wonder how the DF15 would handle 300-320# loads.

Yup, the older one-piece case. The Beast sun shell is still available and a planned upgrade. I'm a little worried about what I might find in there, but we shall see. She only has forward 1 right now.

'94 G20. Nothing on the inside yet other than cleaning it up. Transmission went out, so waiting on warmer weather to rebuild it.

Did that year GM still use the "gutter" roof to body connection? If so, buy the tallest Yakima gutter mounts (Yakima 1A plus 3 1/2" spacer) and you will be GTG, even with prospector-type shear line. You can buy the Yakima bars as well (I bought the 72"), but it turns out you can use 3/4" black...

Short answer is that carbon fiber is electrically conductive and kevlar is not. Long answer: https://compositeenvisions.com/document/how-well-carbon-fiber-and-other-fibers-shield-radio-waves/#:~:text=Carbon%20fiber%2C%20as%20a%20conductor,composite%20material%20in%20phone%20protection. From...

Bar for me as well. The flexibility in foot position is worth the sacrifice in pack placement restrictions.

That's great, Glenn! I hope you get to put hundreds of miles on it! Lemme know if that SRT ever gets toooo heavy... :cool:

Those are known in the US at SOT (sit on top) kayaks. They are heavy, ungainly, and not much like a canoe at all. Commonly used in liveries and highly upfitted for fishing. They float superbly well, as they are double-layer polyethylene. They paddle like a barge, but hey, paddle the boat you...

My favorite type of canoeing is shoreline paddling or river exploring on my knees with a single blade. If there is frost, tree color, and tea? Heaven. But, sometimes you need to *get* to heaven and the journey includes lake crossings, upstream travel, and/or headwinds. If I need to travel, I...
