Hey there everyone, It's been a while since posting here. Life is crazy sometimes. Stuff happens you know? Anyways, Some of you will remember me documenting my Hiawatha build here a while ago. I just pulled the canoe out of the garage and dusted it off and found this mess! Wow. I did notice...

I tried to post this earlier, but it wouldn't post for some reason... I just wanted to wish all my fellow Canadian paddlers a Happy Canada Day! We have such an awesome country that continues to impress, no matter where I go. For those who have the privilege of visiting for a period, glad you...

Hey, Just posting a link to this ad I just found if you are into restoring canoes. Not sure if it's still for sale. It's a tempting offer for me but sadly, I have no room to store it. Maybe one of you folks do...

Been doing some research on types and brands of varnish for coating my strip/epoxy canoe as I am coming to that point . I do have some experience with many types of finishes on wood, but am looking for suggestions of good quality varnish that you have had some success with. Thoughts? A lot of...

I’m on the hunt for my opinion of the perfect bag for canoeing. How hard could it be right? I certainly welcome all feedback and input. There has to be something out there that will do the trick. I have a bit of criteria that surrounds my decision, so maybe it’s hard to find because my criteria...

While it's a marshmallow world out there, I figured that I would keep myself busy with a little DIY project. These are basic cinch cords for all sorts of uses. I know that in the past, there have been posts pointing members to something similar to what I have just made, so my apologies if...

Hey everyone, I just found this listing. Thought there may be some interest. Don't know anything about them. I have no vested interest here, just passing on the love. :) http://www.kijiji.ca/v-buy-sell-other/city-of-toronto/canoe-seats/1032013587?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

This is in no way related to paddling except where it concerns our freedom to do so in all parts of the World. If you'll indulge me... As we ( in Canada) have been rocked recently with the attack on our Parliment Hill, and the trajic death of one of our very own unarmed soldiers, I for one...

I apologize if this is a repeat, but was wondering if there was a way to change the label under our user name on the left side of the screen. I noticed that some members have the title "Tripper" or... Is this a system thing based on post count? or is there a way to change this? Thanks, Momentum

If I were to want a wood canoe deck to replace a missing, or broken one, where would I go? I don't really need one, but I am noticing that there is a huge void for historically correct parts such as this. Am I correct? What do you folks that need parts do when you can't build something...

Well, I have decided to start a thread about my canoe build. I have been thinking about doing this for a long time now, but really didn’t have the forum to do it. Now I do… First, the history…This build was started about 20 years ago. Yep, that’s right, 20. No, it’s not...

Ok, I am looking for some advice, but first the backgound... I have been tripping for a few years, mostly Ontario Provincial Parks, with my paddling partner. We normally use a Swift Kipawa (in Kevlar fusion), so its a pretty good canoe to portage. Over the years, we have kind of settled into a...

Hello folks, I am fairly new to this group and am in the process of building a strip and epoxy Hiawatha 15 from Bear Mountain Boats. I am a couple weeks away from popping it off the form, and have decided that in the interest of helping out my fellow paddler, or would be builder, I'd like to...

Hey everyone, Do any of you know a facility in the Toronto area that offers instruction on canoe strokes, and proper open water rescue techniques? I have looked around a little but have found nothing that would be appropriate. I am very familiar with the stroke aspect but have not really been...

Hey everyone, I'm Momentum, and am new to this forum. I have been canoeing/camping/portaging for a while. I think I may have maxed out my allowable quota of gear, but as a trained furniture maker, have almost completed a 16ft stripper. Ted Moores Hiawatha. Anyways, looking forward to swapping...
