    When is it "too cold" to paddle?

    As the title says - when do you say it's too cold to consider using the canoe? Well, if you do consider it - at what point do you decide to be smart and stay on dry(ish) ground. I was hoping that the weather this fall was going to be more like last year with positive temps deep into November but...

    Free books

    Seeing as my adventure this past weekend was cancelled, I was put to work "cleaning" and while trimming down the bookshelf this weekend I am pretty sure I won't need these: So i thought I would see if anyone reasonably local would like these books. ​David Gerr - The elements of boat strength...

    Quetico or BWCA?

    As the Title says - should I go Quetico or BWCA next summer? Probably a week +/- in Mid Summer. I have the books for both - maps for most of Q, none for BWCA. Travel is about the same to both for me. Quetico - have been there, do want to see the falls chain or go deeper in to the heart of...

    Bio Lite BBQ Grill

    While on my Kilvert Lake canoe trip this past summer my tripping companion had this attachment for the BioLite Stove. If you are not familiar with this stove - Its essentially a stick stove that generates electricity and can charge items via a USB attachment. Now if that was not cool enough it...

    Another Manitoban saying Hi

    Wow - I can't believe I missed this forum. But then I have been out of canoe tripping for a couple of years but after hiking this summer in 30+C heat I came to the realization that I should canoe more and hike less when the temps get too hot.
