It’s accurate enough for my needs. Pretty cheap. Not KE quality, for sure. I generally measure multiple times and average the distances. It will do areas, but I’ve never attempted it.

Here’s one I still use, mostly for distances on irregular features (trails, rivers, etc). It is only obsolete if you’re into GPS, otherwise it’s handy.

I’ve read many books with my candle lantern hanging overhead. Tried the headlamp a few trips. Sleep better with the candle.

We have power outages. I use all my old Coleman stuff. About 3 gallons of white gas on hand.

Any obsolete camping equipment?

Nice one. I’ve used them many moons ago at work. CAD kinda made them obsolete, although I have a cheap one for trip planning. Set it up and let us see.

Here’s an analytical stereo plotter, connected to a CAD mapping systems. I was making my living running this on 2nd shift while attending graduate school. Totally obsolete now, but highly accurate. The methods have changed but some accuracy potential has been sacrificed. This was 1994ish...

Plotting tool.

I ran across this old engineer's scale, from my cartographic drafting days. I started hand drafting maps from pencil manuscripts to scribe coat, which could be used as a huge negative in the dark room to make copies onto photosensitive mylar, which could then be used for field blueprints. Back...

I only drill BIG holes! I’ll do it for you for a small fee.

With warm weather accosting the opaque water region I’m certain there won’t be additional snow traipsing opportunities this year. Hopefully, I’ll get to Ontario on a paddling trip and can arrange to pick up some decent bindings that don’t use finger freezing lacing or leather that stretches...

those look interesting. Pricey, but if they stay adjusted…. I swore off leather bindings because of stretch, but those have nylon webbing, and bison leather should be more stable. Thanks, something to ponder.

That link doesn’t work.

I’m using Super A bindings. Looking to simplify entry. These are some recommended by Hap Wilson, which resemble the design I’ve found

These bindings are similar to some I’ve been looking to try, but the two vendors shown won’t ship to the U.S. Anyone know of another source? The goal is to speed up getting my shoes on at the trailhead, without freezing my digits by fiddling with laces. I’ve tried several bindings and they...

Sorry, just sold the trailer. A totally great experience watching it drive off to more adventures with a father who takes his son’s and another family to BWCA every year. A satisfying sale.

Sorry, loved that boat. Replaced it with a NW Solo for lake country. More stable loaded for older me and the pup, and a few lbs lighter. Trying to be responsible and practice good Seiren Seiri. Disposing of gear and clutter so my wife won’t be too burdened when I go under, which I’ve decided...

Well, I still own my first and last swift boat, the P14 in “expedition Kevlar” and GELCOAT, a beautiful finish that cracks with every bump, weighs more than it needs to. Love the hull shape and the Kevlar is tough, hate the finish and the proprietary details in this boat. A guy’s coming to get...

Man, I just bought the book. If I read this, it’s a spoiler! Good money right out the window! I’ll come back to this. Looks like I coulda read it here and saved a few bucks.😂
