As a former New Yorker and sometimes Adirondacks wayfarer I can relate to that. Thta's likely the 3rd or 4th time I seen that video repurposed..... Best regards, Lance

How please? I've given thought to using one of our pressure cookers to cook lean beef, pork or venison to a pulling tenderness and dehydrate it. Given how hit or miss nature of rehydrating dehydrated chicken has been for us I'm just a bit leery. Any insight would be welcome. Erica, I'm glad...

That's way too cute! Good luck with the new paddling partner. Lance

Dang, Mem. You wouldn't have had far to carry the meat home. I always been a meat hunter and not a trophy hunter and moose are on my short list of things I'd still like to hunt but I doubt it will ever happen especially as there are just two of us now. A whole moose sounds less like a year's...

If there is a corollary to loosing tools in the shop it's the mystery of how they breed and multiply on a job outside the shop. How I can get to a job site and get to work with just my tool belt and a tote but at the end of the job or workday it takes at least five trips to get everything back...

This thread is from before I joined the site but here goes.... For most synthetic ropes (but not most cheap polypropylene) two techniques work well for me. One not mentioned yet is that for most rope or cordage you can lightly flame the outside of the sheath to develop a bit of a crust which...

Shoot! If I don't stumble around in a haze wondering where the heck something is a few times every shop day then it's not really a shop day. I allegedly own three portable belt sanders, one each Porter-Cable 503 and 504 super heavy duty old school worm gear and chain drive "production sanders"...

If it helps any the older Eureka tents floor and seam waterproofing is nothing more than water borne polyurethane and I wouldn't be surprised if it was still in use. Forty years ago I was a independent manufacturer's sales rep for several of the Johnson companies and even years afterward I had...

I've been getting seat webbing and some hardware bits and pieces here: https://customtiedowns.com/webbing/1.5-inch-polyester-webbing/ As they are oriented to custom strap making it generally takes them 4-5 days to cut and ship webbing. Otherwise the prices are good, what they show online for...

Well, my friend didn't have the right kind of toggle clamps for the jig so I had to order them. Between slow delivery times and then us being out of town for 4 days I finally got my hands on the toggle clamp that holds the stock in the mortising jig today. After cutting the seat stock to rough...

Gerald, this is a little late to the party but the current Eureka Timberline SQ (Sequoia) tents have a short cross pole in the middle of the ridge pole that would seem to be an attempt to mimic the old Alpine Meadows tent that Mike and Snapper referenced. The Alpine Meadows tents have a hoop...

I've been watching these for a week as we already have Oilcamp Space Saver mugs with lids and the 40 oz Klean Kanteen is supposed to nest inside the mug (as will a 1 liter Nalgene bottle). Mountain outdoors has the lids and mugs at a good price. As a closeout kind of dealer they have very...

Gerald, I hope that you feel better soon. Three years ago when the age recommendation for the shingle vaccine was still age 60 or older I had an appointment at the VA a few weeks before I turned age 60 and was told that I'd have to wait until my actual birthday. Sure enough I got shingles the...

Interestingly there is now a craigslist ad in the area seeking a Tripper using one of the photos from the Tripper for sale ad of yesterday stating that they want to buy a Tripper and have cash in hand. I guess the one for sale that got away got other folks fired up too.....

Well, sad for some but good for me. I would have been sleeping in the camper for a while if I'd bought another canoe this soon even though I've wanted to try a Tripper. Given how much the price of decent canoes, and especially Royalex canoes, has jumped in the last three months or so I would be...

I didn't know where to post this and hope it isn't against any forum rules but as this is a tripping website and this is a good high volume tripping canoe.... This was posted sometime yesterday. If I hadn't just bought that Mad River Northwoods just a week ago I'd be making the 1-1/2 hour...

Thanks, Mike. I was hoping for a little specific information but I see that you didn't have much to help out with. :rolleyes: Seriously, thank you for the info. Nancy enjoyed reading it, too. Dogs are allowed in Bear Island but not on the ferry so the only way (short of towing them...

Thanks for the info. The only web page I found that should have had a water trail map was a dead link. Do you know of one that can be downloaded? And by "shollow water" do you mean paddle digging stand up and pole shallow? Or just take advantage of the tidal surge to help you along shallow...

Mike, which campsite is that back in the trees? Looking at the reservation pages of the three paddle in only sites (12-14) 14 has no pictures, 13 shows wide open spaces and 12 shows trees. Do you know if there are trees back of all three sites? And since they take reservations 11 months out is...

Thanks for the interest, I'll use 1-1/2" webbing and use an accent color to match the hull as I did in these seats for a green Reflection 15.... I saved the factory seats on that canoe. I cut out the dried out cane panels, pared the remaining cane down with a sharp chisel, refinished the...
