Same pot and coozie, but maybe Al or Ti, with the same pot holder. Different stove head. Long handled bamboo spoon. A couple of different cups. I also keep a small lighter in the pot during storage and transport so I've always got one. And I have a Ti bowl so I can boil water and eat at the...

Redleaf makes these thingies. I just use a bungie with a ball on it similar to what Redleaf is attaching to the thwart with velcro. https://redleafdesigns.com/collections/accessories/products/tether-tabs

The John McPhee Reader is a good intro to McPhee. Excerpts from his previous books, all engaging.

10 days on a pulling boat at HIOBS was my kid's intro to OB. Loved it.

Agree. I used to leave town for months at a time and have to live in motels. Great in your 20s, not so much as you get older and your priorities change. He's 27 and is transitioning from lead instructor (field staff leading courses of from 10 to 30+ days) to resident course director (base...

All photos are at Nantahala Falls I'm told. So yes? Apparently NOC has a camera there that captures pretty much everyone, then they post the pics online for sale, which is how I came by them.

My son is an instructor at the North Carolina Outward Bound School (NCOBS). Recently finished a three day whitewater training block running the Nantahala to the NOC so there's pics. Students (and instructors) are usually in solo boats, but NCOBS is pushing tandems a little more these days...

Would be helpful to know, even ballpark, what these numbers actually mean in terms of how many charges a given unit would provide. 2-3? 5-6? 10? Or maybe I'm missing something?

I don't think the average recreational paddler has any interest in actually going places. They just want to get outside. Better to go after backpackers. Or sea/touring kayakers. Folks who think sleeping on the ground is fun.

I expect this is more about insurance than it is about "well-intentioned efforts".

Paddlers-Snow Walkers gathering dates for 2026 have been announced, though there is no registration or program of events available as of yet. Location is the same as last year: Camp Ohana in Thetford, VT. Maybe it'll be a little less breezy this year and folks can actually get out on the lake...

What are they building nests on? Put in wood blocks to make it less attractive?

Perfect practice makes ... something something something.

Good point. There's a lot of 10x10 pop ups out there.

I've got something like these. A pair seems to work pretty well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PCN4F4N/ref=sspa_dk_hqp_detail_aax_0?th=1

Beat me to it.

Yup. This. Reported the original post.

Nice little canoe-centered (mostly) walkthrough here for those of us who couldn't attend.

Just fyi the Wenonah footbrace is about half the cost of the Northstar version. Riveted only. Put one in my Rx Wilderness when I first got it. Pretty easy install even for non-mechanical me, though definitely a little nervewracking. Worked great. Don't have that boat anymore but the factory...
