    What will be the effect of electric vehicles on canoe tripping?

    Upgraded my Outback in 2022 from an 2014 Outback. Would have made an EV choice had it not being for the canoe trips. I'm sure eventually the coming technologies plus the availability of more recharging sources will permit long hauls to the canoe routes but for the moment I sadly admit I'm...

    Staying in shape over the cold moons

    Good winter activity Black Fly especially if breaking new snow. Using poles as you do is great for keeping those upper body muscles toned as well. Great photo by the way. G.

    Snow? — Where You Are

    This photo was taken after the first snow here this winter. . We got about 40 inches. Finally, found the Subie after the driveway was cleared. A week later it was all gone. We got snow since then but more and more winter rain seems to be in our future. Gerald

    Photo of the day

    Photo from Nor-West canoe company, a family owned business which completely burned down earlier this week. Beautiful freighter canoes were their specialty during their 70 years of constructing these pieces of art.

    Norwest Canoe Fire

    30 minutes from home. Family business. My first canoe was a Nor-West. Beautiful WC canoe. As years went by, they specialized in constructing freighter canoes as mentioned by memaquay. Their WC freighters can be found all over the North and are a favourite of the original peoples. Hope they...
