    Pareidolia on canoe trips

    I see faces in all sorts of things. The one woodworking/machining forum I follow has its own thread on this topic. I don’t usually hear music of voices. I see a lot of trolls when I’m in Norway, but that is to be expected. Jim

    L.L.Bean no longer sells, canoes, kayaks, paddles, PFDs or canoe accessories

    I hope it doesn’t go the way of Abercrombie and Fitch, that was just sad. Jim

    Lake Umbagog NH/ME and Rapid River

    Wasn’t the trip had quite planned but it looks like a wonderful time nonetheless. Jim

    L.L.Bean no longer sells, canoes, kayaks, paddles, PFDs or canoe accessories

    I agree Bill and you had to go up some creaky stairs to get to the retail store. Jim

    Show us pictures of your canoe vehicle with boat(s)

    I am lucky, I married just that woman. She is just as supportive of tools also, but I am working on thinning down the tools I own and I don’t do too much buying anymore. Jim

    I’ve posted this on another thread but it seems appropriate again. Jim

    17' Old Town wood/canvas derelict (well maybe)

    At least Mem suggested isolating the wood from the fiberglass so it is easy to revert back to canvas if one so chooses. Jim

    17' Old Town wood/canvas derelict (well maybe)

    I can’t think of a better boat to learn on. You can’t make it any worse than it is. Don’t get overwhelmed by the entirety of the project just take it one task at a time. You will learn a lot. Jim

    First Aid Kit Container - Soft vs. Hard

    Maybe a smaller container as Alan suggested for the things that can burst and that goes in the dry bag with the other things. Jim

    Coffee in A Canoe

    Alcohol is about as quiet as you can get. Another plus is water easily puts out the fire especially in the canoe, but wind could be an issue. No easy answers. Jim

    Semi permanent 32” roof rack pads - source?

    I had some short knap carpet that I wrapped around my pipe rack and securely wrapped it with duct tape. These are eight years old but they don’t live outside all the time, but but at least half the summer. When they fail I know how to replace them. Jim

    Sawyer 17’9” Cruiser on a diet

    To give my friend credit, the process is called SCRIMP. So now you know what to look up to learn more about the process. Jim

    At least people were laughing. Jim

    Don't take covered Yakima landing pads through a car wash

    A lesson for sure but to be honest my brain went to something far more catastrophic. Jim

    Sea anchors and drogues

    Thanks bark-eater I’ll peruse it this evening. Maybe I can get it thru my library, I’m generally not fond of electronic books but I’m glad they exist. Jim
