    Dried Bean Curd Sticks (YUM?)

    Anything that can improve the taste and texture of tofu has got to be a good thing. For me, no amount of positive thought can normally make tofu seem inoffenceable.

    Tent Option

    About a year ago I asked for advice/suggestions about tents and ended up buying TNF Stormbreak 3. It's nice tent, has to vestibules and does have a fair amount of mesh, a bit much for a 3 season tent. I ended up selling it because my wife and I both found it a bit difficult to get out of the...

    Drysuit gasket replacement

    I had a devil of a time trying to find talc powder last fall, I wanted to use it on a tarp's urethane coating that had become sticky. None of the local stores carried actual talc powder anymore, it was all corn starch or the like. I ended up buying tire talc, which is used for lubricating a...

    Gelcoat or epoxy?

    It took me 15+ years to fix a gelcoat scratch that went through to the fiberglass, so depending on the scratch, it is not necessarily urgent to fix scratches. I have used Spectrum patch paste gel coat repair with great success. Yes, it is expensive, but I found it easy to work with and the...

    Level Six Cronos Drysuit 6-Month Review

    This is very disappointing to hear. Will you be contacting Level Six about the latest failure of the drysuit? They do say their products come with a lifetime warranty.

    Level Six Cronos Drysuit 6-Month Review

    The majority of the drysuit is made from their exhaust 3.0 material, with the wrist fabric being their exhaust 2.5 material, which isn't as waterproof as the exhaust 3.0 material. Fortunately for me, I haven't had the same experience as John, I am not getting wet wrists and forearms with my...

    I haven't had the opportunity to try a Greenland Paddle, I don't know anyone who has one.

    WTB Nimbus Chinook paddle

    I'm looking for a Nimbus Chinook or Mistral, or a Current Design Sabella paddle in the 230 to 240cm range. I used a friend's Sabella this past summer and my bad shoulder didn't feel nearly as sore as it normally would during and after a long paddle, hence the reason I am looking for one of...

    Smartwatch for paddling?

    My wife uses her Garmin Forerunner 245 when paddling for the same reasons stated by Natasha. One thing that she has noted is that the display is fairly large compared to other watches and there is enough contrast between the numbers and the background that she can read it in direct sunlight for...

    Humpbacks do not have sonar

    I've been paddling in the Bay of Fundy when humbacks appeared. Boaters seemed to try to get a close as possible to where the whales were ,idiots.
