http://paddlemaking.blogspot.com/2015/07/algonquin-outfitters-opinions-on_16.html
Thursday, July 16, 2015. Algonquin Outfitters - Opinions on tripping paddle designs. Been away for quite some time and will have new content soon.

This paddler is passionate about canoe paddling and cant agree with him more.paddle connects you with the water so it is very significant for a paddler. Kids on Rust Pond.

Wednesday, January 28, 2015. DIY Bucksaw Camping Chair. One of the winter projects I've been working on is a collapsible camp chair for canoe tripping.
