I had not updated my repair to the tandem - http://www.canoetripping.net/forums/...o-17-in-kevlar - So I figured I better share the start of this with just a few patches of Kevlar to make it water tight again. This works perfect with a load or even empty for some sightseeing. These pics were...

My second trip of 2017 - Rabbit River to Cole Lake I was feeling tired and low on energy but still wanted to get out for the May long weekend so a trip to Cole lake seemed like a great idea. The weather had other ideas but the first day was perfect. My one stop from leaving Winnipeg was at...

Had a road trip planned for the West Coast for this Sept. Decided to bring the Keewaydin 15 pack boat with and try for a few smaller trips on the way. After a long Day of driving to Moraine Lake Alberta from Winnipeg Manitoba I woke up to a “nice” surprise! 2 inches of wet snow! It had...

Found a salvage project that needed a few repairs, bidding went on for a bit and the final price was $650 for the 2011 model. It is in the Green Le Tigre kevlar layup and has some damages that will need some work. Going to get the proper items to do the repair and I will have a nice tripper for...

ELA Trip Report Day 1 August Long Weekend plus a day, ELA time! This time from the Winnange Lake park area. Took HWY 17 east of hwy 71 by 42 km and turned down a small access gravel road to get the west most finger of Stewart Lake. 50m port from the truck to the creek and we are in...

Seagrim Lake Route Trip report #6 on the Seagram's Lake Route. 31km and 1530m of ports over two days this weekend. I seem to like the interesting weather and had hail, rain lightning, more rain, then crazy amounts of rain and some sunshine and wind and more of the great scenery that Manitoba...

Caddy Lake, South Cross lake, North Cross Lake and Sailing Lake with a bit of wind and rain... A wickedly fun/challenging trip. Had to fight a head wind for the whole trip in (14.7km) and a strong tail wind on the return. 35km in total with approximately 200m in nice portages. Set up...

4th trip of the year, Rabbit River to Cole lake in Nopiming Park, Manitoba off Hwy 314 just before Black Lake. A great parking spot with an outhouse and a gravel ramp into the river. Room for 20 plus cars and I found the last spot. I must start earlier as this is a popular spot. Started in the...

Another trip report, this time a little lighter on gear 90lbs with everything, including the canoe. Single carry on the portages and with a 1122 meters to carry in total, that was way better than three loads per port! :D 24km the first day and three portages and 18km the second with the same...

First weekend trip with the new canoe loaded to max, 347lbs with me and gear and toys. Going to be a good test with nice weather for both Sat and Sunday. Road side put in by the bridge off Hwy 671 into Drewry lake with a cave and drag over port, line haul past rapids with a cliff face climb...

Keewaydin 15 --- First Paddle Not really a trip report as I was still iced in for crossing any distance but still a fine day out with the new canoe. Just had to share a few pics to get the season started. Tried for a weekend adventure just North of Kenora on Jones Road but had a bit of a...

Just wanted to post a few pics of my new solo canoe. A huge shout out to Jonas at ClassicOutdoors for this fine item and for the crew at Swift for making it. Just waiting on Swift to deliver the detachable yoke and I am GTG. I was on the hunt for a very light solo canoe to carry around in the...

Just a short hello from Manitoba! Have been around canoes in one form or another for a very long time but have finally set myself up with a nice solo boat for some wilderness travels in the waters around Winnipeg, MB and Kenora, Ontario and as far west as Vancouver Island. Just wanted a place to...
