    Thanks!

    Well, I was fortunate to call first on Boatmans offer for cedar strips. It was great meeting you and talking for a while Jim! I will be making a stripper for sure and posting progress. I'm not sure that the stars will align for a build this year, but it WILL happen. Fitting 17 foot long...

    Snowy May Lows Lake Trip 2017

    My father, brother and I plan a canoe camping trip every spring. The problem with my job is that I have to pick my whole years vacations in December. It usually works out just fine, but this year, when the forecast grew steadily colder and colder as the ten-day forecast became the weekend...

    New van outfitting

    Not sure if this should be in the DIY section but here goes When your group consists of 2 families (10 people) and 2 canoes it's nice to have a van. Well I traded in the 2006 town and country for a 2016. The 2016 S had no roof rack but it had all the inside stuff that Mrs L wanted. So...

    My 06 Town and Country just went down the road and we replaced it with a 2016. It has all the bells and whistles that Mrs L wants. No roof rack though. So, I figured NBD, I'll throw one on it. Any comments on Yakima's permanently installed rails? Advice, don't do this or that, do this or...

    My version of a wannigan / chuck box

    Last winter I saw murratv's thread on his wannigan and it inspired me to try one out. Must say, this one was a test run so to speak as I didn't know how it would fit into my camping style. Now that I've had it out on a few trips, I am a believer. I searched for pics of wannigan and also...

    Wannigan / Grub box

    Well I didn't post this as a follow along build as you would expect to see here, I didn't know if this camping box project would be a flop or a success. It turned out okay so here goes some pics and some descriptions. If there are any questions, comments, or " I wouldn't do that if I were yous"...

    Has anyone here built their own canoe paddle? I don't have the funds at the moment to build a canoe but a paddle on the other hand....

    Old Town Pack restoration

    Well, I purchased an Old Town Pack canoe from a lady on Craigslist last fall for $250. When I drove out to Connecticut the boat was in decent shape. It did need some work though. The seat was full of drill holes, hangars were removed and PVC pipe added, dents in the hull up on the stem...
