Do you have the Saskatchewan Government guides/map? They have two options for the Paull (both start from Paull Lake). If you need them send me you email via DM.

I had an original InReach (before Garmin bought them out), it died after 10 years, probably because I foolishly let it drop 4 feet onto a hard surface. It was actually semi-functional but no longer reliable. I replaced it with a now discontinued (= cheap(er)) model the SE+, it does not have...

September 4 - Day 16 Distance: 15.8km (Total 226.2) Time: 5hr 36m Caltopo Map: https://caltopo.com/m/B8MTMST I woke up at 7:30am, there had been more rain overnight, the POD was covered in drops, the inside dripping with condensation. I gave it a good shake and uncovered the window and door...

I have many sets of air bags, a number of my (used) canoes came with bags. I only use them in my playboat which is only for day paddling or an overnight trip where I don't have much gear. For extended trips I have plenty of gear that will displace water (the whole point of air bags), my gear is...

Initially I was thinking maybe the Suzie but that didn't seem to match up, then the Kekek but I guess that wasn't it either. I think maybe the Megiscane is cursed!

I planned but forgot to mention that rates are higher in areas where fuel has to be transported a great distance. This definitely applies for "North of 60" routes.

In Canada chartering a Beaver will run CA$10 - $12 (US$7.00 - US$8.50) per mile (double the distance of you destination from the take off point) plus an external load fee (usually about CA$200). Payload for a Beaver is about 1000lbs depending on how much fuel is required for the flight...

There will three more instalments, I plan to post one of them at some point over the weekend. You can find the George River report here: http://recped.com/george2018/ It only goes to Day 36 (of 51), one day, I do plan to finish it off (I've been planning for 7 years!). There is a lot of video...

Dessert and snacks, two completely different things in my opinion, Since you started by mentioning bakery I'll stick with dessert. First off, I see no reason to ever have dessert denial. First to go is the pie, usually dutch apple but sometimes strawberry-rhubarb (I will not discuss the...

What happens when you paddle a bent shaft backwards? If no one else is around it feels odd.😕 If your paddling friends are around it feels odd and your friends will mock you!😲

You can get three of the 650mm version for a little less than $1415. of course you would lose bragging rights! Most of my paddling is in the boreal forest zone, even the 650 would be unwieldy. At my cabin not far north of Toronto it would be great for the hundreds of dead ash trees that are...

SAD about the 10 day wait for this instalment! Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that's related to changes in seasons — SAD begins and ends at about the same times every year. If you're like most people with SAD, your symptoms start in the fall and continue into the...

I gave up on candle lanterns 40+ years ago when headlamps started to be commonly available, I see almost no reason to use them today with such a variety of LED lamps being available. The ONLY reason I can think of for using them today is if you are a hardcore traditionalist. Safely use in a...

Here are a couple of articles comparing YouTube vs Vimeo https://whitepeak.io/vimeo-vs-youtube/ https://www.lemonlight.com/blog/youtube-vs-vimeo/ FYI - Vimeo is in the process of going private with new ownership, hard to tell what impact this may have on content creators.

It's the door, the length and the shape of the Mohawk hull made it impossible. A really shallow and flat hull of similar length might squeeze in. I've heard (never seen) that there are a few Single Otters out there (probably turbo conversions?) that use the same/similar door that is standard...

Were you able to get your canoe inside the Otter or did it go on the floats? I was sharing a ride in a single Otter for the Bloodvein, we tried to get my 14'4" Mohawk inside, it was really tight, after 10 minutes of trying we gave up. Fortunately for that trip we were prepared to nest two boats...

I was going to reply but all the previous replies have it covered. If your goal is to share you paddling videos with anyone or everyone that might be interested then YouTube is the way to go. Video files are huge, depending on your internet speed uploading a long video will always be either...
