    When I started this thread, I did not expect to see SO MUCH good advice! Thank you all for this great advice. I am adding stuff to my emergency kit, and removing some of the junk that is in there. The roll of duct tape is getting added too! Again thanks!

    Fishing for dinner... Tips and tricks

    Okies. Here I thought I was getting into that Sushi thing. I kinda think Sushi wouldn't be bad if it were cooked. (grin) So I have done some research since then on www.allrecipes.com a food website I frequent when I am hungry. Apparently you can "cook" all kinds of seafood this way. MUCH...

    Re: What to look for in a VHF Marine Portable Radio for kaya I meant more that I would not be too worried about getting my fingers spanked if I had to use it in a emergency while unlicensed. I would rather get spanked for using improper comms procedure than not getting help and not saving...

    Touring Kayak Advice

    It has taken me almost 2 years of physio and massage to fix my faceplant injury to my shoulder. (I did a fall from standing to the push-up position, and the body wasn't up to the challenge.)

    Well, there goes the idea of traveling light... OTOH, in my case, I could bring a 12 pack for a 24 day trip and likely be satisfied... but I would need to bring lots of water and some way to purify it... Hmmm time for another thread on water purification!

    Kayak Camping Logistics

    I bought a Delta 17 Expedition from Ocean River Sports when the Rep was in Victoria, he had one with him, but not the color I wanted. They did not have one made so mine is getting made. Caught them at a time when they can slip it in without changing their scheduling too much. Down the...
