Thanks for sharing! Looks like you had lovely scenery and weather, Those narrow bits look like the kind of water I like to find when I can. That Junebug intrigues me, as it's right about the size that I'd like in a solo. A little disappointed in the promo copy on Savage River's website. Are...

Looks like a little mini tank, which is probably a good thing for your use! Nice and stable as a support/recovery for younger paddlers. Glad you're getting some use out of it. No clue about the model - others may chime in. Those cracks are splits in the gelcoat, which serves to provide a...

Yikes! Always remember to respect the wildlife! I think that they were very lucky that she seemed more intent on making her point and removing the little ones from the situation, less focused on actually driving that charge home.

Thank you for the responses so far! Yeti brand are available locally for me (Which means that I can handle them) and they definitely feel more robust than the cheap brands I've experimented with in the past. Good to know they aren't all hype. I absolutely empathize with @Pinecones and @Erica...

I've had some poor luck with various Vacuum Insulated drink containers. My latest ($17 TAL from wal-mart) was decent until it took a header off of the workbench. It tapped a piece of timber on the way down, and took a small dent that breached the stainless outer wall. No more Vacuum. Anyone...

This is looking very nice! The accents are pulling together nicely, and that herringbone interleaving is also one of the nicer looking ways of doing it.

@scoutergriz , you may also be the target of "Spearphishing" attacks. Unlike standard "phishing", which is bait messages spread across a wide swath of people, hoping for a bite, this variant has the attacker compiling as much data as they can about you and your contacts (friend lists on social...

If you've already got a logo graphic set up, you do have a couple of options. Check your local print shop. Wherever local businesses get signage, flyers, etc. Often, they'll be able to do some vinyl stuff on the side. Do you have family or friends that are really into scrapbooking? Anyone with...

Not canoeing, but took a bit of a relaxed hike. Not sure if the photos do it justice, but the sunlight coming through the haze was lovely. Very nice spot to be contemplative for a bit.

Maybe also check if there are any visible fasteners in that herringbone weave - are there ends of clinched over tacks on the inside?

Not going to try to recommend a specific brand or model, but make sure that you try on a multitude of styles. Some things to consider: Are you likely to be a 100% wear-time user, or are you someone who will have it on and off? I personally ended up with a "Class V" that doesn't open at all -...

In addition to the above, is there any sapwood on any of the pieces? (Perhaps the white bit in the center of the pictured plank?) Also, how's the color reproduction in the picture? Some (most) cameras do some automatic white-balance adjustment, so colors get skewed. My first thought was...

So, Some stuff went crazy. I had to rush to get the bent blade into an interim "testable" finished state: Please forgive the nasty (temporary) t-handle. I ran out of time to get a proper one shaped, and this worked for the moment. The rush was due to a family fishing trip. Mostly boat...

I think the fish was live/this was a real catch. The fish did give a flop in the net in the last half second or so of the clip, in a fashion that I think would be hard to fake/incite with just the net. (It looks like a tired fish at this point - see #4) That line looks to be some really heavy...

Thanks for the discussion! I'm not quite convinced that a carbon paddle is for me - and it's outside the budget ATM anyway - but I do appreciate the feedback. @gumpus Good point about length and balance affecting the rotational inertia. What balance point do you prefer? I personally (so far)...

Now if your particular gunwale has the flex space to do it this way, That would be an even better suggestion.

Interesting thing about those ZRE paddles: They list blade sizes as 8.5" X 19" or close, but if you look at the images, it's pretty obvious that they are counting the narrow waist/angled ferule part. The actual working face is roughly 8" X 9" with all of the corners taken off fairly...

Thanks for the feedback so far! Hmm... I wonder if this comes down to a difference in seating arrangement? My seat is a mid-rise, 8"-9" off canoe bottom. If i kneel and sit all the way back on my heels, I might be an inch lower. Mostly, when I kneel my upper leg is pretty much vertical -...

This is what I see: I've tested in Firefox on linux mint, Brave on same, and mobile chrome on android. Same on all three. I've swapped between light and dark modes on the browser level to make sure that isn't affecting things. No change. @Tryin' Your screenshot appears to be the default theme...

I'm not sure if this is new - possibly related to the recent site update - or if it's baked into the theme. (Frankly, I didn't realize that there were selectable themes until the site changed the default one under me.) If you insert a link using the "Insert Link" function in the editor and...
