Title: Re: Poll: do you carry a spare canoe paddle? Post by Arctic on Sep 13th, 2010 at 2:20am
I always bring a spare paddle on long, remote trips, but seldom do in the Quetico-Superior.
On trips in the North each person brings two paddles - one for flatwater and a tough synthetic one for whitewater. I think I have broken two paddles in the past 30 years, both of which were pretty worn from gunnel prying during the J-stroke. I knew they were near their end. That being said, I am VERY careful with my paddle. I wish I could get my kids to do the same. |
