Ahh yes! When water turns to ice some time in the woods is good for the soul!

Thanks for the Tour RR!

Thank's for all the input and experiences. Firstly i apologize as i thought i posted an update, but it's possible i started and got distracted LOL! Anyway.. I was able to get the handle off with a heat gun, muscle, and time. I took an inch off at a time and paddled the same route for a day...

Thank you everyone for your input and comments! I spoke with BB last week and decided to use Fri-Sun as my test days. The grip came off without too much hassle and i experimented with 2" off at first. I knew i wanted at least that much off. In the end i did end up with taking 3 off ( 31/32...

Firstly i am paddling a Kee 15 Solo, am a smaller stature guy at only stocky 5'3". My 2 go to paddles are a 48 Java II Bent (soon to be a black pearl) and a 52 Sunburst Straight. I paddle probably 50/50 between Sit and Kneel based on conditions and if i am in a "get there" mode or just out...

Thank's for Letting us tag along!! KC

S w e e t !!!!!

Received mine yesterday afternoon. Big Thumbs Up Doug! Thank you for doing these! I'll be wearin mine and lookin out for others! Ken

Looks like a very nice find!!!

Well, i'll definitely give it a go once the water warms up a little after ice out. And yes, I promise a video :rolleyes: I'm sure my wife will volunteer to take that one!!!

Ahhhhhh, Lively.... Coded language for "Make sure someone has a video camera on!!!" :cool: . I'll definitely take that advice to heart Sweet... And if not i'll just be prepared and expect the unexpected !! After paddling my boat last fall the wife has been warming up to the idea of...

Being new (returning after MANY years), i never considered poling until i bumped into the subject in this forumn. I actually have a length of 1.250 X .058 6061 i am going to make a pole from. That said, most of the videos i have seen tandems seem t prevail. I'm a smaller guy at 5'4" and...

Boy, I never really even thought about trying a pole as i am newer to a Canoe. But after reading here and doing some poking around on Utube i'm thinking this could be perfect! Plus im always up to learn something new. We have some beautiful local streams and small rivers in our area that a...

I'm new here and have found this board a fgreat spot and very helpful. I would certainly like to contribute $$ wise. I cant say i have anything for an auction, but would be glad to support Robins efforts. Ken

Thanks for the input and whats worked for all of you. My biggest bridge to cross i think will be her Prey drive. V's are fur and feather dogs so just about anything that moves is fair game LOL. I guess baby steps and a good comfy place for her to sit and curl up. Happy Paddling...

I have a very active 10 year old Vizsla (Hungarian Pointer) that i want to try in the canoe. I think once she gets comfortable with being "IN" it she will curl up/ sit on the bed i have fashioned and observe. Definitely short paddles to see how/if she enjoys the time. But i wondered how you...

Yea, i just looked as well. I had never used Pogies on the Kayak and always endured the less than tactile feel of my nordic blues. But these might be just the ticket.

I agree neoprene once wet (from sweat or drips) in cold weather, neo sucks. Kayaking i used Nordic Blue Drygloves when the temps really dropped, but the paddle feel is lousy. So im thinking experimentation with different ideas here and of course ALWAYS spares.

Some good options here.. I like the latex/nitrile under wool. Actually, when i used to do lot of winter HIking in the Whites, on those days there was a ton of wet snow on trees to be beat through on the trail. Id make a vapor barrier glove with a pair of snug fitting latex/nitrile, then a...
