Ya but, if you rent a canoe from a Canadian outfitter… Eh, whatever.

I always carried a whistle on the PFD I don't normally wear. Way back when this was an issue, I realized why a pealess whistle made much more sense. I believe filling the throw bag with water is what makes it throwable. I use cheap, light 1/4 inch poly in an old tent steak bag. Fits in the bailer with room to spare. The bailor really helps organize things in the thwart bag and gives it shape. My bailor is a cut-off half gallon milk jug that I find I use quite often. It was, IMHO, the second best LE type suggestion ever (right after barbless).

The best lessons come from other people's mistakes. Anyone else watch Alone on cable? There was someone a few seasons back splitting wood with her other hand  half way down holding what she was splitting. I cringed. She swung and missed the wood. I think that easily preventable injury was what took her out of the game.

Well that was easy.   (You need to Login or Register
