Two methods that work well for adding oxygen to a fire... cup your hands so you can direct your breath to the base of the fire or use a piece of bamboo to direct it. The bamboo method is super effective and easier.
As a paddler, once the spring runoff has dried up and the creeks stop running, I start looking forward to fall. Many of the dam controlled creeks in the northeast have scheduled releases in the fall and many also coincide with festivals.
The World Championships on the Ottawa River in Canada has been over for a few weeks now. I would of wrote something sooner but I wasn’t ready to write anything. This was a vey different Worlds for me since I was only on the Squirt Team.
This time of year, where the seasons of summer and fall blend together, also seems to be the driest time. Overall, areas are more than five inches below monthly average rainfall, and that directly translates to trickles in the otherwise tumultuous rivers.
I never thought that pushing myself to do more difficult things in a kayak would affect me so much outside of the boat as well.
With switching over to being in the office at our retail shop on a more frequent basis I decided it was finally time for me to join the road biking crew at Zoar Outdoor. One thing I love about working at Zoar Outdoor is our attitude towards getting outside and being active.
Lean In! Keeping your boat on the correct edge throughout whitewater maneuvers is one of the most important skills you can learn as a kayaker. For many novice and intermediate kayakers, it is often the most difficult skill to learn as well.
The past few weeks have been pretty busy with family and friends visiting plus a few trips made to the Ottawa River in Canada.

Every summer my family spends a week camping in Vermont. I always try to make it up for a few days to see everyone and have some fun fishing, swimming, sailing, supping and kayaking. While not a whitewater destination, there is a lot of fun paddling on the lake.
The gauge on AW was showing the Pemi around 600 cfs which is a pretty fun level for the park and play hole at the takeout. With a free day and a great level, I made plans to meet a friend at the play hole for the afternoon.
