    spray covers

    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...

    Throwing line over a tree limb, and a recent revelation

    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...

    If you could have only two canoes. . . .

    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...

    A canoe for sale with some challenges

    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?

    Overnight Canoe Trip, Trolling Motor and Battery.

    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...

    Athabasca River - last paddle of 2018?

    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...

    Athabasca River - last paddle of 2018?

    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

    Athabasca River - last paddle of 2018?

    ​ 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...

    Pots with Bail Handles

    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...

    barrel and harness...

    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/

    Describe your seasons and climate

    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...

Highway 16 was designated a "TransCanada Highway" later. In western Canada, Highway 16 splits off from Highway 1 in Manitoba then goes NW to...
