Problem was I hadn’t used this specific anchor line in quite some time and never with this anchor. When I went to clip the carabiner to said anchor it was far to long and would have dragged in the water at points being both unsafe and really annoying. We needed to loose about 4 to 5 inches inches of length on the set up.

I thought I’d share a little system I stole from the big whitewater world on a semi-permanent way to ship your oars using a small loop of rope both towards the bow and stern sections of your boat. This way you have the choice of putting those blades forward or backward

By Chris Hunt We had a moment this week, my youngest brother and I. As we struggled through the instructions that came with the Sam’s Club charcoal grill we’d hustled to the store to acquire while three juicy ribeyes sat stoically on the kitchen counter, we connected through music and memory. We have one thing…

Redfish Lake, Sawtooth National Forest, Idaho. Photo by Chris Hunt by Chris Hunt I admit it. I’m biased. I love my home state of Idaho. Home to sprawling sage-brush seas, sky-piercing mountains, old-growth cedar and spruce forests and some of the best trout water on the planet, it’s no accident that I arrived here some…
After more than a decade of work, the greenback cutthroat trout is now reproducing in a second remote stream.

Chad turned to his wife Erin, “If I don’t make it back, I died doing what I love.” It was well-spoken and sealed with a kiss.

As with many things, it’s better to be safe than sorry when drifting for adventure and a sense of freedom in…
