Well done, nice write up and pics,Thank You for sharing.

This sounds like a great combination, and I’m pretty sure we will get to enjoy some nice video of the trip. Enjoy your trip!

I’ve seen him do it live, probably the strongest guy I have ever had the pleasure of tripping with. (although Memaquay is right up there too!)

I have never worked on a stripper but I have restored quite a few non wood and wood canvas canoes. I agree, if you can avoid a keel all the better imo. Can you post a picture of the entire canoe, kinda curious as to what it looks like. Thanks

Sorry to hear this my friend, I wish you the best. Our trips together were as good as it gets, we solved a lot of the world’s problems in our campsites.

I just bent them dry, no steam. When I installed the inwales years ago, I neglected to taper the ends. Big mistake, I think I was worried that I might ruin a 16’ gunnel. Anyway, I plan on correcting this when I do the next canvas. (hopefully, the canvas will outlive me). I think the gunnels look...

When I finished restoring this canoe a few years ago I only gave it two coats of paint, it’s a tripping canoe, the second coat looked ok back then. I just sanded it down with 150 grit on a 1/4 sander and applied the 3rd coat. I added a little gray paint to help freshen up the old paint in the...

Nice pictures, we (family) did Rollins many years ago, what a nice place. Thanks for sharing your trip.

In Riverton, Ct there is a nice parking lot where Hogback Rd and rt 20 meet, I have poled there. Just south of Hogback Rd on rt 20 about a mile or so is a bridge where rt 20 crosses over the Farmington. There is a parking lot/put in on the west side of the river at the bridge, decent poling area...

When you look in the dictionary for the word relaxing, there should be a link to a James Carey video.

“Steve Lapey spoke well of you and says hi” Steve is a good guy, very talented canoe worker and canoeist. I made them from this guys video, really easy.

I have been cleaning up my canoes recently, varnish, new paint and new spruce gunnels. I even was able to fix a slice in the canvas to my square stern. The weather here in Maine has been great for painting and varnish and I have a couple of trips planned, so It’s a busy time. I even made a new...

That’s great, brought a big smile to my face this morning. Plus their in a wooden canoe!

This bothers me, I prefer to give animals as wide a berth as reasonably possible, why stress them?

I purchased an old Bobs and it came with this six foot paddle. I’m pretty sure it’s cedar, 30” , about 8” at the widest point. I prefer a narrower shaft and traditional handle. I damaged it at home and spliced a piece of pine into it. I use it in my square stern now, it’s great for all the...

Do you know there is a website/forum called “Trap Lines North” (https://traplinesnorth.proboards.com/) Although it doesn’t get much activity these days, it’s got a lot of great information and pictures about the book and familys. I help moderate it, keep out those pesky Middle East trappers...

While I like to support the local economy, it’s nice to be able to freeze some meat and this chart helps.
