canoe

Has anyone made their own canoe, kayak, boat or SUP? Did you use a kit or make it from scratch perhaps with only plans to guide you? I've been looking at Fine Boat Kits and they do look nice and not that hard, but I've no experience or tools. Has anyone experience of this? Do you have any...

Freya and I canoe across a lake in Alaska to explore and attempt camping by a crashed Military C-47 Skytrain aircraft. The fish where not biting and the no see ums (bugs) where very affectionate come nightfall. I seriously miss-judge the tide the cook fire goes out twice, then the water reaches...

Hello Friends of Bushcraft UK , Decided to take the canoe out on the this over night adventure. Canoes are so graceful and peaceful, its like walking you see so much more detail and the sound of the waves slapping the boat is like a lullaby. Freya (Dog) will provided allot of entertainment and...

Quick review of a three day outing I had thanks to The Canoe Man In Norfolk last year. Having completed the Expedition Canoe Course with Frontier Bushcraft the other year, I have been finding it difficult to 'get out' and do any canoeing that didn't bill by the hour. I have enjoyed the...

As with the Forest Hunter Course, I was only able to join this course due to some last minute cancellations and the help of Amanda at Frontier Bushcraft who processed my booking at an ungodly hour of the night, so a special thanks to her. I recently completed the Expedition Canoeing Skills...

Hei! In the summer of 2017 I started to build my own dugout canoe. Here is a short (and picture-heavy) story of that process. It is still work-in-progress but the first half of the boat-building process is now done. English is not my first language and the grammar is a bit rough, but hopefully...

Hei! Greetings from a Finno-Ugric lands, Estonia! I do handmade leather-work for a living. When not working on leather, I am usually out- tracking, hunting/gathering or building a dug-out canoe - a very old style of finno-ugric canoe called "haabjas" in Estonian. It is likely that these kind...

Hey folks, On Sunday me & my buddy Matt went to Wadenhoe on the River Nene to embark on a journey we did exactly one year ago to the day. We took the canoe and some kit, including a tarp & a Polish army lavvu, for a paddle and a day in the woods. We set up a day camp, made a cooking area...

Heya dear friends, I have been working on a project for quiet a while now, I am taking a group of 10 to the wilderness of Sweden in order to make a documentary in which to show people how easy it is to go on an outdoor adventure, but in the meanwhile staying safe. We still need a bit of...

This paddle has had a hard life, shaft split twice. :p First split was stupidly using it on WW on the Mighty TEITH, trying to side surf a wave, doing a deep support stroke to hold the boat in the surf, I hit a hidden rock. That split was up near the handle, it was scarf jointed easily as it was...

We had our clubs now annual Inchcailloch Camping trip this weekend, on Loch Lomond. The site can be booked up and it has a composting toilet and no other facilities. Of course, it's the south facing, beach setting and island on the loch location that is the attraction. Apart from a powerboat...

I was shot repeatedly today whilst unloading my canoe, luckily they were only practice BANGs, form a drilling re-enactment group of Napoleonic era soldiers. Beach put in at Kinlochard I was out on Loch Ard checking wild camping spots in case the Island has any drunken campers on it or if...

Here's a post i've been meaning to write for some time but haven't gotten around to. As i'm working on the new ethic of "Work like a Professional" (as oppossed to an artist) for all tasks, here it is done at last. A search for "Croatia" on the forum prompted me to begin thinking that some pics...

Off the bay from a nice chap called Steve. Needs a bit of fettling, but will do for me and the kids to mess about in. (youngest wants to go the south pole!) :canoe: Z
