    The Secret Project , a New Kayak from Jem Watercraft.

    love it Love it. Any idea about the payload? Looks like it'd be an awesome boat for an extended trip. Sort of Rob Royish, with a finer bow. Great job.

    Cape Fear River, NC Nov 1-11

    Thought some of you might be interested in this. Last summer my ladyfriend and I paddled the Mississippi River in conjunction with the Audubon Society http://www.sourcetosea.net. That went over really well (NPR, other media, etc), so I'm doing something similar starting next week on the Cape...

    Hammock camping questions

    underquilt Will do. The underquilt is assuming that I actually get the thing done in time. Worst case scenerio is that 1) I sew this thing 2) I take the pad(s) that I normally would take 3) I still take my sleeping bag 4) The underquilt idea sucks, but I end up with a killer quilt that...

    Hammock camping questions

    Eagle Nest hammock Damn that was fast. I talked with the folks at Eagles Nest on Monday afternoon, and the UPS man dropped the hammock and straps off this morning! Quick observations: 1) I really like the Slapstraps. They nylon straps with several loops sewn into it. Wrap around the tree...

    Hammock camping questions

    Tarp and bugs Should have put that in the original post. I'm taking my 8x10 siltarp and might throw in my headnet or something. I don't think bugs are going to be an issue on this trip. Worst case scenerio has me just using the tarp and pad just like I always do, so no big deal. Camping...

    Hammock camping questions

    pads Here's my plan at this point. I've got a 3/4"(maybe 1"?) thick inflatable pad from Pacific Outdoor Equiptment left over from the Mississippi trip. It's tapered at the foot and shoulders, so I was going to cut an old 1/4" pad in half, overlap it, and put it under the inflable to keep my...

    Bent Shaft Canoe Paddles

    bent shafts We used a couple of carbon fiber bent shafts from Wen no nah (Black Barts) on our Mississippi River trip last year. I never really bought into bent shafts until them. You'd have to pry my paddle out of my dead, cold, wet hands now. Those things run about $200 a pop, but damn if...
