    Awesome! I’ve seen a lot of videos recently of home built/designed boats. Many of them don’t consider flotation. This is great info and footage! Thank you for sharing.

    Love your rigging options. I canoe camp mountain lakes in Montana and have been packing food in Ursack XL which is light weight, ties to a tree rather than hanging, and will give me 5 days of freeze dried style food storage. Just spent a week in the BWCA where they just changed policy requiring Grizzly rated storage if not hanging in camp and at each end of portages.

    I noticed that you leave the poles in the tent bag as you pack it. Those poles really create a packing constraint. Is there a reason you do not, as many backpackers do (and I I do when boat camping) remove them (and possibly the sharp, pokey stakes) and stow them elsewhere? The St Lawrence build looks so great, BTW!!

    The gear info is very useful (for instance I've been loving my Exped sleeping pad which I got after your recommendation a few years back). Have to agree on the MSR Dromedary water containers. They are vile and I really don't know how they keep selling them. I got two new in 2021 for my upcoming Level 3 skills course on salt water and they were unusable. Even after multiple rinsings water was unfit to use for tea within a couple of hours. I subsequently tried every recommendation over the coming months and nothing worked. Then I saw one that suggested boiling water, and claimed they were OK with that. So I tried that and they both started leaking. I should have contacted MSR but didn't get around to it. They won't seal now, so I can't even use them as a float bag. For the extra water we have to carry for day trips I just use the 4 litre ones for bottled water. You can refill them, and despite being thin and disposable one will last a season. Rinsed out Listerine bottles work well and are super tough, but biggest is only 1.75l. It boggles my mind that so many purpose made water carriers leave a bad taste while the disposable ones don't.
    Thanks again for all that you are sharing.

      @@AndrewMoizer thanks for the feedback. I’m surprised that they still have this problem.

      @@capefalconkayak I bought my Dromedary water containers in 2021. Hopefully they fixed them by now. I got two sizes and both were unusable.
