Equal weight of log chain works great for a canoe anchor. But I'll use the old mesh bag and local rocks for tripping.

I could be that guy, but I'm rarely naked in the BWCA.  I usually go in mid-May (I'm headed out in four days!) and it's a bit cool for that activity.

Hey, could you carry in some firewood for me?  Glad that works the way you want, I have enough gadget weight packed that I have to use the rock/bball net way, otherwise the pack would sink the boat.

Marc,

It's not just "help" you get from PJ...it is a virtual healing of the mind.

I prefer to bring two 20 lb mushroom achors from the bass boat. One at each end really secures a canoe. Wink

I bring my BFH and a hand bit and find a appropriate rock...the girlfriend carries the BFH and the hand bit, she holds the bit too. I also use a small section of old garden hose as a sleeve through the hole in the rock so the rope doesn't wear out. Need the rope....facilitates the hose's second purpose.

I've started using one of these too. I store it jammed into the end cap of the canoe so it's always handy when I want it. Also find that my 25' painter is often enough anchor rope. If not I add the 25' from the other end.
