We had a real bad air pollution day here in Quebec and it may be headed your way. Check out this map. https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/ G.

Hope posting this here is ok as it comes from another forum. Very interesting project, https://www.myccr.com/phpbbforum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=49701 Thanks, Gerald

Have used a variation of this knot for many years now and don't find it particularly easy to undo, nor easy long term on the life of the rope when used often. There are many variations proposed on the internet via video or illustrated instructions, but I prefer to hear from the people here as to...

This is a translation of an article that appeared this morning in the French-speaking Montreal newspaper La Presse Plus. Reserve La Verendrye A worrying change Marie Tison The Press A few weeks ago, SEPAQ announced that it was taking over the management of canoe-camping reservations at La...

The Swift Cruiser series is a recent addition to Swift's line of boats, so there is not much feedback out there regarding their use as a lake\portage multi day tripping boat. As I'm looking for a lighter boat and my kneeling days seems to be over, I'm curious whether one of these boats would fit...

I have a Red Royalex Argosy for sale. Never ran rapids with it. Always stored indoors. Great condition. Comes with yoke, keeling pad and pop off safety seat (that would avoid entrapment). Stored indoors. Will not deliver. Situated in Quebec, Canada. $1000.00 CND firm. Photos...

Yes, just curious. Does anyone know if the Nomad mold or plug is still dormant somewhere (Colden) or has someone move it to a new location hoping to bring it back to life. Gerald

Saw this on social media this morning. Heard of people using pots, pans and string to enclose their campsite, now there is an easier way for them to feel secure at night. G.

The thing I detest the most about portaging is not the walk, nor carrying the canoe (though age has me looking for much lighter gear and boat) but the lack of storage pockets for items that have to be at hand like camera, toilet paper, rain gear and an extra jacket. I now like to double portage...

For wilderness canoeing situations, above and/or below rapids, very rocky campsite shorelines, etc. I was wondering how one compares to the other as I have zero experience with pack boats. Thanks, Gerald

On day 2 which was also lake #2 I started to feel the sting of an insect bite on my right belt line. After supper I had a good look with my compass mirror and it looked like I had multiple bites. Sleeping the night was not too bad. The next day another portage (another lake) and things were...

Just brought a 2 year old Mec tent back for a credit. Seams were coming apart. Now I'm looking for a 3 person 3 season tent in the $300.00 - $400.00 CDN range. Mec sell a lot of MSR tents but most reviews say that they take in water even when new. Anyone here have a recently purchased MEC 3...

Looking for entertainment during the lockup. Here's my favourite outdoorsy channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsI...Oz99GMitW4vD_g Show me yours. Gerald

Any opinions? Thanks. G.

https://youtu.be/ch5MBdsW5bU As I age (80 years old now) the lack of strength and elegance is quite apparent in this short video (under 3 minutes). I now only kneel in rough weather and am now sitting more often. At the very end on the video I have some footage of my “safety seat” which makes...
