    Stinky Canoe Pack

    I am intimately familiar with odors caused by prolonged exposure to biologics. If the odor is microbial, this stuff is the best I have ever found. https://arrestmyvest.com/

    Namekagon Encounter

    Pre-trip Preparations Without our usual paddling partners, we had immense flexibility in trip timing. My son is homeschooled, so not many obstacles there, and I am fortunate to have a job with great latitude given to PTO taken for the advancement of family relationships and personal...

    Namekagon Encounter

    Sometime in the past three years, likely as the result of some Canoecopia presentation or perhaps the River Kings Namekagon video series, I decided that I really wanted to paddle the Namekagon. Well, last week, we got our chance. This thread will chronicle our journey. The Namekagon River flows...

    September BWCA Trip

    Huh, there was a thread on BWCA.com about that plane and how it circled the lake for a while and then landed. The poster said the pilot then went up to a campsite where a solo paddler was camping, but left without him. Guess that was you. 😄 Small world. Edited to add screenshot:

    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.
