I have 2 Northwater Spray Decks with the attachment system that uses the patches on the inside with a loop of lacing that pokes through a drilled hole. I didn't like the time and effort it took to lace up the deck so I changed it to a system that works well for me. First I ran a paracord...

I don't hang my food because of small trees, etc. When I need a line to be up high for a tarp,my most successful method is: find a reasonably long stick with a branch sticking out near the end in a V; clear the stick of unnecessary branches, snubs, etc.; tie a weight to the end of the rope...

Only two? Sooo many boats that I have not paddled. I'd have to go with my Esquif Mistral 16 in Twintex and my Hellman Solitude. The Mistral is a very versatile and tough tandem and is reasonably light and my Solitude is versatile and tough, can haul all my junk and still have reasonable speed...

So nobody wants a canoe that comes with two WARS? Not one war but two wars. And it also comes with an anchor. No takers?

I posted this over in Canadian Canoe Routes then thought that some here might enjoy. Be sure to read the description.

Although wind can be a problem on Maligne Lake, I believe you will be OK to paddle to Fisherman's Bay campsite with your group. Get an early start. Pair up your people to even out abilities, strength and endurance and use the motors as back-up. You could go to the campsite that is 4 km from...

Thanks, Alan and PaddlingPitt. I hope my edits to the original post have resulted in pictures. Please let me know.

It's good to know that someone else has issues with posting pictures. I do have a Flickr account and when I finally learned how to post to other websites, Flickr has changed the procedure. Now, when I try to post to another website, it says that I have to "link back to Flickr" in order to get...

Thanks, for the information. It's the first time I've tried to post images. I will probably need some assistance. It looked like I could just upload pictures but, evidently, I can't so, how do I post pictures? Thanks, Ralph

​ I thought I'd post a short report about what is likely to be my last paddle of 2018. The trip took place Tuesday, November 13 then we got snow and our ski trails are packed and tracks have been set and I've been skiing. The changing of the seasons. A friend had been up in Jasper National...

Wonderful trip report and wonderful pictures. The discussion of your decision-making and second-guessing was fascinating. Wondering about the route not paddled. Thanks! More please, sir!!! (good use of exclamation marks)

Wonderful pictures and a great story! Thanks so much for posting.

On CCR, Hoop posted a great how-to about installing bail handles on pots. Unfortunately, due to "third party hosting" issues, the pictures are not there. Perhaps the descriptions will be helpful. http://www.myccr.com/phpbbforum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=38215...

A perfect and truthful song. Thanks for posting!

-31 C (~-24 F) yesterday morning with a wind chill of -40. Today is +5 C (~+40 F)and raining lightly. Anyone for a roller coaster ride?

I've considered trying barrels so it's interesting to hear the back and forth discussion. One of the barrel options I've been wondering about is the Vittles Vaults. Has anyone any experience with these? https://vittlesvault.com/products/outback-50/ https://vittlesvault.com/products/outback-80/

Tried this yesterday but something cut most of it off. Here goes again. I live at 53 degrees north, at 3000 feet (~925 m) above sea level, near the edge of the foothills of the Rocky Mountain and in the boreal forest. We have a continental climate that is also influenced by the nearby...

Both Highway 1 and Highway 16 are TransCanada Highways. Highway 1 is the original and goes through Calgary, Kicking Horse Pass, Rogers Pass to Kamloops. Highway 16 was designated a "TransCanada Highway" later. In western Canada, Highway 16 splits off from Highway 1 in Manitoba then goes NW to...

Very impressive boats! Well done. I, too, really liked the side-by-side picture of the boats on the vehicle. When do you do into commercial production?

Really nice video. Thanks! Can't wait to get out.
