I am doing 60ish miles on the Toby/Clarion River in NW PA in a few weeks. Over 4 days. I want to take a sleeve or two of English muffins for sandwiches. In general muffins and bagels are pretty sturdy, but I'd like to protect them with the lightest possible shell. I was thinking of using a...

I have been stuck paddling on a river twice after dark in my career. Once was due to poor planning, the other was an accident/injury. I have always had headlamps for around camp which had a range of ~10 feet. I think they were all around 100-200 lumens. 10' on a river is almost useless. I...

Has anyone seen on of these up close? It looks like it would be perfect for day trips and/or warm weekend camping trips. With a foam pad, it would also double as a seat.

Sister thread... What are your favorites and why? I take this Estwing. Full tang, I don't think it's possible to break. I saw one run over by a skid steer with no damage. Mine came with a nice ballistic nylon sheath. My buddy has a really nice hand axe that he bought in a backpacking store for...

T his boat is on Facebook near me for 650. I’m just getting into canoes. What’s a good price

Attention all you shipwrights... This is the seat out of my boat. I want to build a light weight base so that I don't need to bring a camp chair. Here is my idea. I'm not sure how to attach the seat? I could cut "c" shaped notches and just the put the seat on top but I'm not sure that is...

I put this together to lift my canoe. My garage ceiling is 10’ so this gets up high enough to easily walk under. Complete cycle takes about 45 seconds. I welded up this bracket a few years ago to lift the hard top off my Jeep. It worked out perfectly to lift the canoe. The beauty of a worm gear...

Anybody have one? Do you like it? Pros/Cons? Its on sale near me for ~$800

If you are not familiar with the movie "The Purge", one day a year it is legal to kill anyone you want... I was camped on the river this weekend. My site was on a large pool with a rope swing directly across the river from me. This time of year, the river is low and temperatures are high, so it...

I found a 60 liter barrel in a local surplus store for $19. I tried it out and now I'm obsessed with barrels. They did not have any smaller barrels so I've begun searching them out on line. I just ordered an 8 gallon (30 liter) from US Plastics for $55 including shipping. Where are you all...

I did a relaxing river camp weekend with a few friends. The “Little J” a 30 mile trout stream. It is set up as a trophy trout stream, so you can’t keep anything, but it is polluted with large native, self-sustaining brown trout. It is largely spring fed, so the water stays cool all summer...

Hey all, I'm Al and I just bought my first canoe. I have a Liquid Logic Remix 79 kayak and an Old Town Vapor 10 Kayak. All of my backpacking gear can easily be stuffed into either boat, but for summer weekends on the river, the dang kayaks lack the ability to haul the most important piece of...
