That's an impressive project. Well done. I just hope you won't have too far to portage that rig. :p

Same here. My last road trip to NY was by way of MI to ON to NY and back the same way. We had some fruit (bananas, berries) and yogurt in a small cooler for my daughter, and I had forgotten about food rules. Purchased them here in the US, took them in an out of Canada on the way there, and...

Welcome! How far north are you? I'm in Green Bay. I'm heading to Sylvania for a 3 night trip in a couple of weeks, assuming the weather cooperates with me.

Only 6 for me, including a small one for my kid. I gave away 2 more when I sold a canoe last summer. Someday, if I ever have enough free time, I'd like to start making paddles. Who knows how many I would end up with then!

Couple years ago, I forgot matches ... fortunately, we were camping with some family, so they had plenty to share. This past May I forgot the drop-in middle seat for the canoe on our first family trip of the season. My daughter had to sit on a plastic gear box that I strapped to the yoke, but...

On a hunting trip with a canoe, you plan to shoot your gun(s) ... on a canoe trip with a gun, you hope you won't have to shoot it.

Did some target shooting with a .22 handgun in college, but never owned one.

No Title Camping in the UP of Michigan last weekend ... first time I convinced my 5 year old to go for a paddle with just the two of us. She liked sitting in front a lot more than in the middle. :)

Looks great! Nice job.

I have two Wenonahs and both have that tippy feeling (lack of initial stability), but secondary stability is good. Lowering the seat may help, but you may also just need to spend more time paddling it to get more comfortable/confident with that particular canoe. Take it to a relatively shallow...

These look great! Some of them look like there would be room to add a cribbage board along one side.

Can't vouch for the quality, but here's a bunch for less than $1/ea with shipping included...

This one is selling for $35 at Sierra Trading Post now, if anyone is looking: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/gra...granitegear%2F

My last solo trip I was camping in what is supposed to be quiet/no-wake zone, and 95% of the fishing boats I encountered over several days completely ignored that as they zoomed to and from their fishing spots. Most of them would at least slow down a bit as they approached me, but I nearly got...

Yep. Always be sure to mind the gauge on the "oh crap" meter. :eek:

I've used needle & thread before. There are also adhesive patches for tent mesh, but I can't say how well they hold up over time.

No Title Made biscuits on the campfire for the first time on my last solo trip a few weeks ago. Just used some bisquick with powdered milk and water. Ate them with some OvaEasy eggs, and country gravy

Good luck. The first time I had mine done, it took two sets of shots about a month apart to get rid of all the pain, and then I was good for about 7 years. Next time I only needed one set.

Related question: How many of you use two tied down points for the rear of the vehicle vs. just one in back. I use two in front, but in the back I just run a single strap form the canoe to the trailer hitch.

Is nylon better than polypropylene rope for this purpose?
