What do you use as a shelter while kayak camping? I use a Gore-Tex "Bivy-Sack".
LOL maybe it's my "old-man" back or I usually only find unforgiving rocky ground to camp on =) My cot rolls up in a neat little bundle that fits nicely in the nose of my kayak. My cot, bivie (which...

Is there such a thing out there like a Pedometer but for a paddle... like maybe a Paddle-o-meter. Be interesting to know how many paddle strokes that you make on a trip. Or could a person maybe set...

Never tried "Snow Kayaking" as of yet. Would it be better with my 16foot tandem or with my short 8foot sit-on-top kayak? Looks like a blast! Guy

We can do it alright -- that is, everything but sleep!It does help, thank you! In fact, I'm really interested in a place where you live. Frankly speaking, I'm really surprised to hear about deserts in Canada - it's like a revelation to me! I've never been to a desert and Canada has never associated with one in my head! Is it like a real desert with dunes and sand and hot sun all ther year round?
From my Internet experience I know that BC is a jewel place for flat water paddling. I like this kind of paddling a lot as it gives me spirits and piece of mind - I hate categorizing as far as paddling is concerned - it's all passion and beauty regardless of the style.
What's your favourite place to paddle around your place? In my country I have only flat water rivers and plain lakes so initially flatwater canoeing was my paddling experience...
Is it really THAT cold in Calgary? As far as I know you have enough snow on the coast too or am I wrong?
What about those cowbows - you mean rude people around and all that?
I've heard a lot about Vancouver Island whitewater heaven but I really haven't heard much about whitewater rivers around Calgary - do you think it's that bad around the place?
Thanx for the information!
I haven't dropped in for a visit in this neighborhood in a while and so here I am. It's a good thing my sister-in-law has a pot of coffee brewing, 'cuz I don't smell the delectable aroma here this time around. Hey, there are some awesome photos on this site that are perfect for Fun Friday at ecopaparazzi. I've sent a couple of notes to folks asking if I can use some photos. I hope they say "yes."
