that fit guide is quite good as it takes into account the width of your boat. Too many shops just ask how tall you are in order to guage paddle length. For me however it shows a 230 and I like a 240. Goes to show personal preference comes into the equation as well.

I see no flaws.... I too built my pirogue from stuff laying around. Made it all the more special to me Only sughgestion I have for you is get some safety glasses on the young feller when blowing out the debris with compressed air.

I always carry when camping a Grohmann Russel belt knife that was issued to me many years ago. It is a great "do all" knife. My latest sharp love is the Leatherman Skeletool in titanium. They took all the crap you never use off the leatherman and scaled the weight back to nothing. This has a...

Re: Skinny perow coming lookin fine, gettin the itch to get back at building

that bumper sticker is all the rage up here, you can't see 5 cars go by without seeing 1

lookin forward to the "where's Waldo" pics

might be late for suggestions but..... There is an old way of repairing holes in plastic buckets bet it would work for a plastic yak too. Coins tend to be made to last a long time. If you can find a coin of a suitable size, pinch it in some pliers and heat that sucker up quite hot. Then...

great post!!! I just love looking at folk's boats, makes me wanna get back at'er

this looks like a gooder for the dutch oven

now that's worth striving for!!! I wish I was half the man my dog thinks I am

the boat must float

that is one sweet little rig!!

being the owner of 2 SOT fishing yaks I can easily say they are incredible yaks for fishing. You also may be underestimating their value as a camping boat too. Allot of them have incredible amounts of available storage both above and below deck. Downfalls??? yes you are completely exposed to...

great pics!!1 You're right the pics do tell the whole story. I don't think the bottom of that boat even got wet, a dozen of your Grandson wouldn't sink that boat.

great Monday read. There is also a story of a soldier that claimed "big Ben" rang 13 times at 1am of the morning he was accused of sleeping at his post. He was proven innocent of the crime accused as many others that heard the clock strike 13 as well. Avoiding the death penalty, he was "saved...

beautiful job on the pirogue. Interesting how the grain on the sides goes up and down instead of lengthwise. Can't say I've ever seen plywood sheets made that way. The birch will make for beautiful brightwork. Looks like a boat made by an experienced craftsman

solar power can easily be used as a sole source if it weren't for the cost. The cost will remain high untill the gas companies are running out of profits (not in my lifetime) We priced out gouing full solar on a home and it was crazy expensive. To run fully off grid would have taken 35 years...

those guys have been around long enuff to have a great fear/respect for us Canadians, 1812 Whitehouse thing you know....

what great pics, it's like armchair travelling. I get to see places I'll probably never get to see. The bayou is one place I'd really like to see before I go. One of these "camps" would be a great central point to yak through the bayou from

Ummm....nice idea on the seal. have you ever seen Lexel?? It is a bit heavier than silicon and clear. Has good adhesion preoperties and I think it may flatten out better and smoother as it has a longer working time. It is also 100% water proof unlike silicon which will soften with continuous...
