I use Dynel fabric with West Systems G/flex epoxy. You might post a picture(s) of the ends in their current state, application might change slightly if they are heavily worn vs just a few light scrapes. The required tools are very simple and cheap, maybe most important is a good pair of...

On my way home from trips in Northeastern Ontario (James Bay, Temagami etc) I usually stop at Burger Word in North Bay for a giant platter of burger and fries, greasy goodness!

You can attribute some of these variations in the previous "normal" to Climate Change. Where I am in Southern Ontario we have been warned that in the next year or two we should expect more hurricanes (something that has been very rare in this area). While this is happening there are no doubt...

Long titanium spoon only user here. On a trip a few years ago I lost my spoon and had to borrow a spare Foon (aka Spork), really didn't like it, I always felt like I was going to shred my tongue. Since I always seem to be unable to find my long spoon when I'm assembling gear for a trip combined...

From East to West..... Labrador, Quebec, Ontario & Manitoba If I added all the locations where I drove through with an intent to paddle (but the canoe never got off the roof of my van) the list would be much longer and include many US States and a few more Canadian Provinces. Places I would...

Who? From what I observe it's mostly people like those that hang out on this board. Hardly a week goes buy when one of our regulars here let's us know they just dropped 4 - 6 Thousand on yet another new canoe to add to their fleet. The other people who buy them are those that have million...

If you want to grow new canoe paddlers you need to start early.....really early. If you wait until they are teens it's probably too late. I spent a lot of time paddling from age zero to age 10. When I thought about dong some paddling again 20 years later the choice was obvious. If I was a...

You talkin' to me? You might be because in the 9 years I've been here I have only started 9 threads. This is not a CTN thing, I am on about a dozen boards on a regular (daily) basis (only 2 are canoe related), I rarely start threads on any of them. I'll try to do better, maybe start a few...

Ocean freight for shipping, a 20 foot container costs maybe US$2000 (Port to Port), you can get +/- 12 canoes in a container + as much "gear" as you can fit in. The problem is finding someone to assemble the boats and get them loaded into a container. Your best bet would be to come to the US...

My guess is that your numbers should be 5% of registered users provide 95% of the content. I'm on many different boards, on most of them I would estimate that only 2% of registered users make more than 1 post per year with 75% never posting at all. Some of these boards have over 100,000...

Give me your address and I'll send you a few extras, I keep finding them out in the wilderness but I have no use for them.

There really isn't any risk for these types of infringement. There are literally a BILLION videos on YouTube that infringe copyrights in spite of YouTube receiving over 1 Billion take down orders per year. https://transparencyreport.google.com/youtube-copyright/balanced-ecosystem?hl=en_GB

I wasn't a regular here in 2016, never saw or posted to that thread. I do wonder how many of the 70's, 80's 90's that were here 10 years ago will be able to update. I know that at least one of the previous "30's" is no longer with us.

I will translate @Glenn MacGrady excellent analysis and summary. If you post these tapes on YouTube on your account, there is a remote chance YT will respond to a DMCA / NOCI complaint, pull the videos and send you a nastygram. Do not list on YouTube with active monetization turned on.

15 posts and not a single mention of chocolate? Dark chocolate of course.... Feeling lethargic after the first 5 minutes of paddling? eat a few squares of chocolate. Want to power through the last 5km to your next campsite? eat the rest of the bar, combine with hot tea (with sugar) from your...

It was in a soft side cooler with a jug of water inside and effective use of evaporative cooling.

I've never had to deal with such a large hole, a few small ones and lots of cracks is all I've done. In general terms I would create a base from the inside using an oversized patch of s-glass / e-glass and let that cure, You might want to use peel-ply so that you can put some pressure on it to...

My solo seats are generally 5 - 6" from the centre point. For me positioning is also based on the distance to the front thwart, 99% of the time I am in a fully loaded boat I need enough space to store my large drybag/pack in front of me, enough space for my Pelican case(s) and still be able to...

These come in a few different lengths https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ettore-16-ft-Reach-Extension-Pole-44016/204267834 or https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ettore-4-ft-2-Section-Reach-Extension-Pole-42104/204267922 I have one, never used for camping (window cleaning) but it's reasonably light and...

Of course, Ronco was very active in Canada, the music division (bet you didn't know Ron was also in the record business) even released compilations specific to the Canadian market. Of course back in those days Canadians had a choice to watch 2 Canadian channels (a third is some markets) and/or...
