More like a wooz

I remember talking with a guy who wanted to get better at whitewater canoeing. I suggested he take a class at MKC up in Ontario. He said no, he didn't want to, because all they teach there is how to do the forward stroke and the cross forward stroke, and that they don't focus on the "cool stuff" you...

Take shelter, children of Friendsville...Chester's coming to town.

Thanks y'all. I'll have to check my width this weekend. The boat's been great otherwise, I just feel like I left it wider than I should have.

I'm adjusting outfitting this weekend on my Viper 11 and I want to take the thwarts in. Since my outfitting is custom, I can't use the outfitting guide on the site to judge how narrow my boat is (and should be) My question is, how wide is a Viper 11 at its midpoint when outfitted for factory, and ho...

I wouldn't be too worried about others taking it off in an emergency situation. EMTs will just cut it off. And if, God forbid, I ever have to do CPR on somebody, I'd cut their jacket off too. As far as your own ability to take it off in an emergency situation, well, that's one of the reasons I went ...

It had fallen to 4.2 on Sunday, and then 3.5 or so Monday when I was out there. AW pages are all out of whack, a bunch of the gauges were way off this weekend.

Worse comes to worse, call Ohiopyle state park.

I have those adjustable toe blocks, and for me the jury is still out. I put them in partly for that reason of having different layers and also wanting to have my feet in different positions, but the one thing I have found is that I can't get rock solid against them like I can against pegs. They are ...

First weekend of August would be pretty cool. That way it wouldn't conflict with Black River Fest and Deerfield Fest or Falls Fest.

Yes please!

I wanted to go last summer but I had a business trip to Cali. I'm not missing it this summer.

Adam - While I definitely agree that outfitting can be a turn off to some people, I was talking more about why people initially choose a kayak. I actually did some market research on it for a project this winter, and outfitting didn't really factor in. But your first reason is dead on, more people d...

Why do most people kayak rather than canoe? In no particular order: 1) Canoe is not considered a solo craft, whereas a kayak is 2) Kayaking is easier to learn initially 3) Kayaks are cheaper and easier to obtain 4) There are more kayakers willing to teach new kayakers There are definitely some thing...

Mark my words...the future of kayaking is with windshield wipers.

I've been canoeing and camping since I was kid and I cannot recall using knots other than a trucker's hitch and a bowline/figure 8, with the occasional exception of a timber hitch to keep food away from da bears. I learned a ton of knots as I started climbing, and I haven't really ever needed them o...

I got 12:00 passes for Saturday and Sunday on the LY (it's all they had left) Hopefully I'll be staying in Ohiopyle, but I'd still be up for something different and wouldn't mind a drive to a different river. Also, word on the street is that the dam is holding back as much water as possible to aid i...
