The white Merc is nice - probably nice to drive on paved roads but I'm afraid the underside would not last 50 yards on some of the roads I use to get to the water. On a few I'm afraid my Highlander will scrape. Regarding reliability - good to hear yours is doing well. My brother is a big...

Thanks all - found a very old Gander Mountain sleeping pad under a bed, looks like the original thermarets self inflating - likely 20 yrs old and forgotten there - about 1 1/2" thick - laid on it and it's OK but very narrow - about 20" wide. My shoulders hung off the sides so I'll likely loook...

Thanks all - will ultimately end up with both books. Now just need to find the time to go - you'd think being retired would offer plenty of time but... As my dad said when he retired - " I have so much to do now I don't know how I found time to go to work!".

Hi folks. On your canoe trips do you take a thick pad like the megamat expad makes or more of a back packing type pad? Trying to get practical info on actual use in the woods. Thanks

For the folks who have used these books do you prefer one or the other? I know I could get both but don't want to be redundant. thank you.

Thanks for the replies folks - getting the paddlers guide book and will talk to folks depending on where I'd like to go.

Hi All. I’ve never been on a multi day canoe trip but am interested in doing so. Anyone have a recommendation for a guided 3-4day trip in the Adirondack? I have no gear and suppose a guided trip can provide gear and instruction and accelerate the learning curve. Thanks

When it comes to wild animals I believe in live and let live UNTIL their damage costs me time/money or endangers my health/safety. Then I believe it's time to eliminate the problem as it's not going to get better. I do secure trash cans, etc to cut down on issues but some animals won't take no...

God bless the U.S.A. Does that mean we can use any kind of firearm if none are prohibited?

Thanks for the detailed info!

For canoeing - please tell how you like it, anything you would want to change or be different, and if you would buy it again or something else. Thanks

A 10mm, with bear loads, in well trained hands would help solve these problems.

I've been using an Olympus Tough TG 830 for a long time now and it has taken a beating and still takes great photos. It is small and convenient. Here is one from a recent river trip:

Anyone paddled a Grey Duck canoe? Your thoughts on construction and handling? Thanks

$2000. This boat has not been used since the last posting. Thank you

Hey Fred, After trying a few solos if it turns out you like the pack boats best be aware that pack boats by Hornbeck, Northstar, Adirondack canoe Co., etc, are more in your price range, even new.

Hi folks, As indicated looking for a new tandem for just day trips, about 340# paddler weight and a cooler with lunch/drinks, and the occasional fishing gear. These 2 are on the radar, the Wenonah Escape, because we already have a Minn 2 that my wife loves but is Tuff weave model and trying to...

Hi Fred - regarding the foot brace - I am used to one as the stern paddler in a Minn 2 so I find myself kinda wanting it in the peregrine. But, because it is a solo I don't want to use up footspace with a permanent foot brace, especially if I ever choose to kneel. I have just come up with a...

Fred - I sit in my Peregrine without any issues. I use both single and double blade paddles dpending on my mood and water/wind. Had Dave C. install sitting drops but also got a set of kneeling seat mounts if I want to use them. As far as canoe prices - my attitude was I can spend my...

Thanks folks - very helpful info here , esp the skillsaw vs tablesaw observations.
