Looking for suggestions on a jig or whatever to get the rounded corner groves cut out for the spline. Someone here must have built seats using a sheet of cane. What process did you use?

Anyone have thoughts on the value of original Chestnut forms? These are not technically for sale but just trying to gauge value just in case

Looking for options for supplier of Gelcoat in Canada for some spider/ hairline cracks in the gelcoat of a Kevlar canoe I recently picked up. Any recommendations? Would like it to come in green... i have purchased the small kit from novacraft in years past but I need more than the 2 oz offered...

There is a Chestnut canoe available locally (Fredericton, NB) if anyone is interested. Not mine (yet anyway :) ) Previously owned by a former employee of the Chestnut company (now being sold by his son), fully restored during his retirement and has since passed away. New canvas, one rib...

Opinions on Mountain House freeze dried meals? Looking at possibly buying the 20 oz. can and separating into vacuum sealed bags for multiple trips just for convenience. Are these worth buying? I could always experiment and dehydrate my own but I'm not a chef :)

Not a barn find but stored in a dry shed, Chums I assume but the Prospector style seats are not the norm,

I did a quick gel coat repair on one of my carbon fiber old town's using clear gel coat that I ordered from Nova Craft. Due to shipping restrictions NC could not supply the catalyst and simply suggested Bondo hardener from local stores. Of all the canoe repairs I've done, this was by far the...

Sometimes when you find a canoe for that is available you just have to take it home..... ​This is #12 of 50 made.... has never seen water except for todays rain, stored indoors (living room of all places) ​I'm looking to sell this but need guidance on realistic value. Not in a hurry to...

This beauty followed me home on the weekend. I gave it a paint job to freshen it up a tad but due to it's limited usage and being stored in the original owners basement it's in awesome shape. ​I was trying to pick up a kevlar canoe over in Maine but that deal fell thru so the timing on this...

Any thoughts on buying a painted royalex canoe? This one is for sale locally, described as in great shape with minimal use. Looks to be a 16' NC Prospector. I'd normally jump all over this considering royalex's demise but the paint causes me concern. ​It was red and likely painted to use for...

Picked up a new Eureka Timberline Kananaskis outfitter 4xt today at a local shop. I haven't owned an a-frame tent in 30 yrs.... It's well constructed, rugged and big, Anyone use these on canoe trips? The overall size and weight concern me, I have a simple 4 person Eureka Scenic Pass dome style...

Picked up an old Woods pack today. Still plenty of life in it. ​ Kinda surprised to see the 2 flaps on the top compared to the one large flap on my Duluth. It's well broken in and honestly a little more comfortable than my Duluth too.

Beautiful 17' double ribbed Fraser Guide Special, built on original Chestnut Cruiser form. SOLD $1750​, May consider trade or partial trade on another canoe, Royalex, Kevlar or W/C

IMG_0259 (2) I bought this 15' Cedarwood Canoe last year and sold it for a "small" finder fee as I do with most of my canoes. Pretty sure i'll be buying it back from the owner today as I want 15' for solo runs or for the kids to use. I often have a hard time distinguishing...

This beautiful canoe found it's way to my yard today. Bomb proof, double ribbed Guide Special in amazing condition. I was after something more in the line of a Pal or a Prospector but the pickings are slim these days. ​For those unfamiliar with Fraser canoes, info can be found here...

I did a quick google for portage pack in Canada and did not see much to be desired... I'm after a large pack similar to Granite gear or CCS, but sold in Canada. With exchange and shipping, ordering from stateside is not likely viable option. Anyone care to make a recommendation? I currently...

Sawyer Cruiser in the shop this weekend, great looking canoe but it takes up every spare inch I have in the shop. Nothing I hate more than waiting for paint to dry.

Picked up an old, Old Town Camper a few weeks ago as a "winter project". Couldn't wait till winter so I pretty much started on it right away. It had / has some good points and some bad.... The good is that it's a royalex 16' Camper that i'll be able to solo instead of my big 17' OT Tripper. I...

What's everyone's preference? For years I made out just fine with this old but great little 2 person Coleman tent. I sold it last month as I'm changing out my gear and packing requirements so I can take the kids along with me on certain trips. I bought this Eureka Tetragon 4XT, for trips...
