I stopped using deet about 5 years ago. I treat my clothes with Permethrin and I use Picaridin lotion on exposed skin. I buy the Permethrin and Picaridin from Sportsmans Warehouse under the Sawyer brand. If I need more protection, I bring out the headnet. Permethrin and Picaridin does not...

I use 1/4” braided polypropylene ropes. Waterproof, floats, very low stretch and cheap in price.

I have lived in Alaska for 42 years. A 20 mph wind is normal up here. I have camped with 40 mph winds gusting to 60 mph frequently. I have always used Eureka tents and they seem to hold together in the wind.

I don’t even know what a leeboard is or what it does.

I don’t know anything about sailing. I would probably capsize the boat.

I highly recommend Redodo batteries. I have 2 300ah Redodo batteries in my motorhome.

If that happened in Alaska, we would be told to grab our guns in case the bear approached us. I have been told twice in the 42 years I have lived here to grab my gun because of a bear in the campground.

I used to go spelunking in West Virginia in the 1970s. In some of those caves, we would be just inches from bats as we would pass along some of the ridges inside the caves.

The two moose attacks I had was a female moose. I kept a tree between us both times.

I fear a moose attack more than a bear attack. I have been charged twice by moose. I have shared trails with a brown bear before. Wolves generally keep their distance, although a few years ago, a wolf kept a woman in an outhouse for 6-8 hours.

This same question was asked a few years before and the concensus was for a solar charger, the Big Blue 28 watt Solar Charger was the favorite. It was given such good remarks, that I bought one to use on my wilderness canoe trips. It is very welI made. I haven’t used it yet other than testing...

Thank you.

Does anybody know where we could purchase some of these coins.

You might consider getting a splash cover. I bought one from Red Leaf Designs. The splash covers helps miitgate the wind and with any waves that may splash over.

I use a removable portage yoke. I have 2 portage yokes. One is homemade using plans from Cliff Jacobson’s books for my Old Town Discovery 119 and the other is a CVCA portage yoke for my Wenonah Wilderness.

I have industrial grade self adhesive velco that I attach to the air tanks in the bow & stern of the canoe. I the use a piece of double sided velcro the wrap around the coiled painter line and then attach that to the velcro on the air tanks.

I have a Wenonah Wilderness solo canoe in the ultralight kevlar setup. I use a portage yoke to carry my canoe from the car to the water.

We lived in Albuquerque and paddled a lot of rivers, lakes and streams. Our biggest trip was to canoe down the Rio Grande, starting in Colorado and ending up in the Taos Box. It was about a 3 day trip. We also entered a canoe race down the Rio Grande starting in Sante Fe and finishing in...

I do not like sporks. They don’t work well as a fork or a spoon. I think sporks was the solution to a problem that never existed.
