Yukon Cornelius... Poor doggies.

I guess the 24 hour darkness brings on enough cabin fever that the cold no longer matters.

Hey- can you paddle on liquid propane?- might be an 'Option' (get it) for you!

A picture says a thousand words... and this puts it into perspective for our Fahrenheit brethren in the South:

It's -40 C with the windchill in Ottawa. The eddies are filled with slushy frazil ice and mist is wisked away from the waters surface by a stiff frigid breeze. The paradox of a cloudless sunny sky and the coldest day in 8 years makes the rapids next to me both appealing and repellant. Today there is...

It worked- Thanks guys!

Test:

I couldn't find an answer to this in the FAQ. How do I put a picture directly into the message body? I have been trying the Img button, but it doesn't allow me to paste an image I copied from my hard drive. I posted the pictures to picasa and tried again but a message comes up saying that it can't d...

"Not to hijack the thread, but photo 1 in your Boating series indicates a need to zip up a boy's PFD and provide some role modeling on their wear" A valid point- I just deleted that picture. It's funny because that's my son Isaac who is usually the ultimate safety geek. He's always the one reminding...

Further to the radical new boat material thread, I thought it'd be fun if anyone out there wanted to share their memories or tales of carnage from the Grumman days here. I for one still have my Dad's Grumman which he got new over 40 years ago. It has survived several of his northern canoe trips, 4 b...

Hey, I think you're on to something with the inverted Airstream trailer! If only we could find one small enough, we wouldn't have to come up with a new design. Wasn't Grumman's main gig manufacturing nuclear warheads? Maybe Airstream would be a better fit for canoeing after all!

Ummm... I'm still here. Wasn't this supposed to be the end? If it is, and this is the sweet hereafter, then why do I still feel nausea?

length 8' 1" width 29 1/2" weight dependent on lay up- the one in the video is about 15 lb. Cut or built up to paddler size and specification. Colour, graphics, metalflake etc. are entirely up to you. Ed at Murky Water is arguably the finest composite boat builder in the world. Go to the description...

This comes with HUGE thanks to Murky Water Paddling Supply and Level Six. Watch it, share it, embed it- most of all enjoy it! And of course.... buy one! It's too much fun to be legal!

An interesting thought, however, I can think of many arguments to the contrary such as: Dagger Blast Jim Snyders Rockhopper Jim Snyders Puddle Jumper Jackson Fun 1 Jackson Fun 1 1/2 Jackson Shooting Star Jackson Little Hero Jackson Sidekick Among others... Why not for the canoe too? By the time they...
