Glenn, thanks for the detailed post. Female issues receive a lot of coverage on talk shows, specials, news programs, commercials, and so on. You can hardly turn the TV on without hearing about female problems. Males get very little information, possibly because of men's reluctance to discuss...

Wishing you the best, Phil.

I was also using every kind of herbal support, and the digital exam showed nothing. That would lead some to think everything was okay. My doctor had referred me to a urologist who had also been monitoring. When my PSA went from 5.07 to 5.36, I was happy with such little increase, but the...

Yes, this is about paddling, because this will put an abrupt end or interruption to it. I've just been diagnosed with prostate cancer. As my doctor puts it, if every man lived to 120 years of ago, prostate cancer would represent 100% of the causes of death. Every man will have prostate...

Thanks for the feedback. I've been off a couple days, so playing catch-up. I got Murat's contributions entered just now, and will add Mike's and smallworks shortly.

Thanks all. Appreciate it. jim

Wonderful post, fantastic idea, and great illustrations. I was familiar with the Helinox, but since I have a Coleman camp chair, though heavy, hadn't priced the Helinox. What sticker shock and great motivation to make a chair like yours. Thanks.

This should help you make the best choice for you.

Dear Ravenwolf, do you have the DeLorme Atlas and Gazetteer for PA? If not, I'd recommend it. For most adventure seekers, it is the go-to planning source. It will tell you every resource you could have an interest in---ramps or walk-in launch sites, camping, points of interest, regulations...

Thanks. I'll add both of those to the list. You might find our visit to Marine Mills, on the St. Croix River, of interest. It is one of those original logging towns Wells speaks about. We visited there while doing the Great River Rumble down the St. Croix in 2013. Here's the link. You may...

I found I had a need for both bend-shaft single blade and double-blade. I use a 54" Bending Branches bent shaft, and a 280cm Bending Branches Slice Glass Solo double-blade canoe paddle. I find that alternating them on longer trips engages two different sets of muscles and puts less strain on my...

Grew up along the Northern Chesapeake. We did most of our family boating out of the Sassafras River. Thanks for the welcome.

I started a list several years ago of authors and titles of books on canoeing, kayaking, expeditions, camping and survival how-to, etc. The list has been added to ever since, making a few hundred books available. They are in alphabetical order by author. The link takes you to page one, and...

The last thing to come to mind when talking canoeing would be Oklahoma. There are actually two Oklahomas, the one east of I-35, where there are paddling opportunities, and the extreme draught land of dirt and rocks west of I-35, where we live, which puts us at least 5-6 hrs. driving time...
