Moose are the most dangerous animals in Maine. More so than bear. They are instinctual animals with the brain the size of a grapefruit. In May they are cranky as they are hungry and new browse is sought. I was able to read a moose hackles up feet spread head down. Thou shalt not pass. Had I...

We did that trip in Feb. Being from the North it was hot! Over 80! (it's 59 today at home. normal) We did from the Springs to Rays The shuttle was $10 very nominal In deference to 77 we splurged. We used to go from Rays to the Springs and back. 11 miles! We also used to sneak in the old boat...

Should a kayak paddle be used with a pack canoe? (no I am not signing up. My computer frustration tolerance level is low this week) Or( and you guys choose) Am I an idiot?

seasonally you are not. Fortunately your season is from Mothers Day to Fathers Day in the lower48. However I may be cursing you in Newfoundland/Labrador this summer. :ROFLMAO:

the Science of Paddling..Shawn Burke on Amazon Glenn the question was hit and switch in a short solo not a long skinny one.. Techniques may need to be adjusted for shorter river boats.

eh. We've always been different! Isn't that what celebrates the canoe ?

Shannon can you suggest a short overnight in Alabama..We flee to Florida in Feb but this latest trip showed us climate change is real! We can't do 84 degrees for five weeks ,

looking at Goonstrokes TR that amount of cached boats would bother me. Maybe he is easy going No worries..This isn't a test.. There is no homework..

Steve were you there when this was part of our recert program..CEW was at his finest( critic time). Tsuga 8 we thought initially hit and switch in the FlashFires and WildFires was sheer madness..(We had to follow a buoy line) Thanks I did forget to mention that water time is key. Don't...

Awful lot of talking in that catch video . Technically correct and a bit much to handle starting out.. The full extension of the arms and the windup of torso is important and the placement of all the blade in the water. But not bobbing. Note how short the stroke is.. He can't go past his...

Something got cut off.. Maybe you are talking about people caching boats in the woods for fishing or whatever and leaving them for years..egad Wabakimi is rife with them. Sometimes you find them at a trash filled campsite. Locals in the Wabakimi case liked to use one campsite every year...

Presque Isle has two commercial flights a day and only to Newark. There is bus service twice a month to Fort Kent. https://aroostooktransportation.org/images/pdf/bus_schedules/st_john_valley.pdf Pelletiers is the shuttle service for the Allagash..I would recommend calling them...

Ecology;the best tool suited to the lay of the land as it were. I.e canoes that can be easily carried between small lakes with no defined trails: Adirondack pack canoe ( been around since 1880). Next, larger, often established from trade days, canoe routes. With portages even if these...

More specific on area you want to visit.. Some are set up for airport retrieval and deposit back there. At least two in Whitehorse Yukon Run the Yukon down to Dawson and catch Husky Bus back with your rental boat back to your Whitehorse outfitter and back on the plane you go.

Have you been to the Arctic? It's interesting our urban viewpoints.. Canoes can be repurposed for other things like sleds to haul caribou or moose or seal. Nothing up there is ever wasted if it can be used for either its original purpose or something else. To our eyes some...

Headed to Lobster Lake in a couple of weeks. Makes Lila seem tame.. Yes its only three miles quietwater paddling to the first campsite. Lobster is five x 8 miles long.. Mountain hike. The road in is lol.. 56 miles of dirt road...

I also took an adaptive paddlers instructor training course from Bob and Elaine. They served paddlers with all sorts of disabilities.. On the water a paraplegic was just like any other paddler once they were fitted to the boat and adaptaions in equipment made.
