Hello folks, I've been hit after all and I'm now owner of a SmartPhone ... Hmmmm These things always need a power connection to be charged ... It's just that not every tree trunk or under every second stone has a charging option ... So an solution has to be found. Powebank! Yes, but it's empty...

How to handle the physical and psychological issues of aging? ignor it and .... do it your way.

@Jmharrick and the three dwarves stood ready on the shore with their throwing bags?!

like him?! six and a half kilos of unbridled strength, endurance and meanness. Will that be enough?

I suspect that these are transmission wheels which have been filled with concrete to make them run more smoothly. or Saw Mill Fly Wheels ...

hmmmm - something like this?! ore this? . . regards Michael

Just like me!

what certainly also speaks in favor of such a canoe handle is that it is not afraid of getting wet or even capsizing. He it is very light and loose in the hips and very supple. You can see the fun he has doing it! Like these guys too ...

With the necessary technology, which he now demonstrably has, he can also drive a prospector well through wild water.

@lowangle al in my consideration of how normal chairs with such a weave are built, I came to the conclusion that it makes perfect sense to build two individual seat segments for the bench. The fact that this also reduces the sag of the seat is a nice side effect.

@Glenn MacGrady Many thanks for your praise. (y) That's the beauty of being able to build things yourself - exactly the way you need them - and if it also looks good, all the better. regards Michael

maybe it shouldn't be called a seat but rather a bench ... ;) I have corrected the title to: new canoe bench in ash wood

Yes, exactly! A port and a starboard seat in one ... With the “old” seat, I had simply attached two pieces to the left and right of the middle seat. BUT - on trips lasting several days, I had the problem that I was sitting on the wooden plank and my small, bony bottom quickly became sore. As I...

Hello everyone, I have built myself a new canoe seat in ash wood. The “old” one was just good enough for the experimental time until the new one was ready. It was just a makeshift solution. But now I have a solid and beautiful new canoe seat in ash with the beautiful wickerwork. just have a...

I like these things too - but to buy is not a option for me. So - I make it by my owen . . . . also a tool-roll . . . or to put in my cutting tools . . . . regards Michael

i don't think any of these specialists would get through a boulder garden with a normal canoe loaded for a pack tour ... ;)

Best tripping coffee mug ? ... is the one you have with you! ;) I know some people who like to forget this - and then in the morning they look quite stupid.

My favorite tool is the LEATHERMAN Wave plus. It's handy and not too heavy - and you can work really well with it! I can repair anything with this thing - like MacGyver - provided you know what you're doing. . . . . . . regards Michael
