I found the deal and bought one. It looks huge, but we will see how the asymmetric cut impacts usable space. The listed weight includes two 7' 6" poles and MSR Cyclone stakes, so really not bad. I will start a thread when it arrives and I can set it up.

Using tit-for-tat exchange rates, it would seem that American consumers are already paying a premium for Canadian paddlesport goods. Looking at you, Swift. Manufacturers will charge what the market will bear. The language used to justify increases will reflect the popular boogeyman of the time...

@ErktheRed I am in the market for such a beast and would be very interested in where this deal can be found, should you decide not to take it.

I don't think I would consider the rapids a mandatory carry. It's a I-II section, with no significant channeling. Broad, shallow, and rocky. If you want even less flow, wait to launch from the dam until after noon, when they slow down the release rate unless needed for flood control.

I'm an idiot, I completely forgot about mandatory carrying the falls. Nice catch.

I would love something like this for cooler weather. I wonder if we could band together and get a limited run. They are usually at Canoecopia as well. I bet they would be a lot pricier than most will pay, however. https://www.nrs.com/customer-service/email-us

I was going to include them in my list, but they haven't put up much content lately. After the bear incident, I think they were pretty well done for a bit.

BB, it's silnylon. I have another tent that is made of the material and already equipped with a stove jack. Silnylon melts with high heat and embers, no flaming. That's a good tip from Song of the Paddle. Below are a couple images, should anyone find this thread in the future and wonder what we...

I'm hoping! Maybe in white.... 😉

Dafaq?!

Found the old BWCA.com thread. Linking here to maybe save someone else the time later. Dan built a prototype modified-pyramid shelter and was not pleased with the results. https://bwca.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=forum.thread&threadId=53359&forumID=15&confID=1

It certainly looks.. lively... in that video. Jeremy is not a large man; that probably precludes a purchase from me. Which is good, because just when I thought the market offerings were settled, along comes a new spate of boats to consider. I really want to see the DF15 in the flesh.

Thank you!

Has any one modified their CCS Lean shelter to accept a silicone stove jack? I think this would be an awesome combo for hunting season paddling.

Every time I watch that video, I think about buying a TuffStuff boat from them.

All of mine seem to really like 50-75% of the manufacturer's max recommended numbers. If using "industry capacity" (usually 6" WL), more like 40-65%.

That helps, but no, it doesn't eliminate ALL of it. Find My App and Find My Device still allow recovery (and discovery) of powered-down devices using the virtual network of nearby devices to "tattle" on your devices location. You can do all kinds of stuff to an "off" device remotely. Change...

I turn on my Zoleo when on trips or hunting away from cell service. That's been good enough so far. At this point, she knows better than to ask, lol. She does use Life360 with our teens. It was part of the deal when we got them phones. We don't monitor it closely or set geofence alerts or any of...
