Bit of a question for Joel on account of an idea I had :idea: , Seein' how you'ser the resident SOF specialist. Itsabout them airbags you build and use. To my way of thinking the biggest threat to a SOF would be a sharp object. A rounded object could well be abrasive but unlikely to be an...

Can't for the life of me imagine it would be possible to get back in a pirogue with a side entry, not that I've ever tried. Can only imagine this would result in the opposite gunwhale coming to meet your nose at a rate of knots. Perhaps you could think about an uneven amount of floatation in the...

hmm letmesee now. Maths was my absolute worsest subject at school but Chuck said Now then A Qt is two pints right. A pint is 600ml or 0.6 of one litre. 2 pints is still a Qt. A Qt is 1200ml or 1.2 litres. Two Quarts (4 pints) are equivalent to 2400 ml, which is 2.4 litres which...

Mate, don't be sorry for getting angry, you have a right to get that way. it's bad enough that good fortune ain't doing you and Mz Bear any favours: you don't need doctors to be practising when they ought to be practicing. Of course getting angry won't help in the long run, but make sure you...

Wondering how/where Ron is gonna fit the pontoons on this houseboat?

Doesn't get much better than that Joey. Now all we need to know is where we can find an employer with the common sense to hire us to do trips like that. He'd get good value 'cos we wouldn't take days off unless we was really sick :wink:

:D Mick said: Sounds like a plan to me. Yep, have thought about it quite a bit, was probly gonna be an unsociable sod and sneak off an just do it in the next coupla month or so. Well either that one or the Noosa river thing but this would be a simpler first attempt. Probly not possible...

Can't claim to have done a multi day trip yet, but one is on the cards soon. Of all the posts on this topic I think I like Mouse's best 'specially the bit that said: Now it might well be that someone may enjoy pushing their body/boat etc to their limits. IMHO we get out there to get a way...

But I was etiquettous :o I understood you only used "winks" if you were kidding :roll:

As you paddle your boat you will find some drips of water find their way into the boat with you. This is NOT desirable. If you leave the stitch holes as they are this will allow the collected water to get back out of the boat. I realise this might sound quite technical but trust me it does work...

Thinks, that lady has eaten too many pies. :shock:

Payback :lol:

Mericans shouldn't ought to consider Japs to be a bad thing. Who else wouldya have got into a war with last century. Biggest thing ever to happen to your economy... (Well 'ceptin' for the current economic development.) Happen to be a fine race for scientific testing them WMD's on too. If ya'd...

No soot is a no brainer, just take an oxygen bottle along with you introduce it to the flame (not all at once :roll: ) Of course you will need to build an extra boat to transport the oxygen bottle... thinking this would not be suitable for backpackers. Loose soot should "wash" off with a...

Some pictures just make ya wanna smile hey :)

And!!!. You know you can't just leave us all hanging Mick. If you go back and read the forum rules there's probly something bad gonna happen to anyone that starts a tale and...

Hey come on guys it's pretty obvious what Jack was doing. I reckon he'd just finished reading about eskimo rolls and figured he'd try it for himself. Now Jack isn't as daft as he looks (despite the picture) his version keeps him dry... a bit like an air swing in golf. I always claimed they was...

Pardon my pedantiness, but does a horseshoe actually need to be bent? If itsa horseshoe surely it's already bent. :roll:

Note to self: Do not go hunting, or anywhere else with Dave unless accompanied by an ambulance, surgeon, accupuncturist and a dozen rabbits feet :lol:

Said it at JEM and I'll say it here. Marquetry in motion. I love it.
