Thanks - just purchased a boat and your video is really helpful. I hadn't realised there was so much outfitting involved. ATB - Paul

Lovely explanation. Excellent use of knots. Your bowline, however, is technically a "cowboy bowline," which is fine. But in a proper bowline the tail will end inside of the loop, not on the outside. It depends on which side you "poke the end through." Yet, your method is more versatile because you can easily adjust the size of the loop, as you demonstrated.

Great info on the setup of your dry bag. Using it as a rescue couter-balance is a great idea. I pull a loop through my rear carrying hand that is long enough to go about 6" under the water to use as a step to get back in.

It looks like a decent video. Can't make out what your saying.

Good tips in this video. My river has strong current and usually windy. I really need to install a kneeling seat. Love the stone wall, alot. Nice Quebec canoe. I have my eye on a tformex boat. Im using a royalite dagger, an old timer these days. Doesnt like Quebec winters, Gflex is my friend. I do take very good care of the old girl. Cheers, Paul, Laval, Qc.

As time goes on things will probably adapt and change on what I do, and boat development

You might want to replace that red and white climbing sling. The white fibers are Spectra, which loose a significant amount of their strength when wet. Just a thought.

if you use any internal woodwork as an anchor point to unpin your canoe, it will tear it all out. i promise. ask me how i know.

Well done...Thankyou! Bowline demo is terrific.

Loads of good tips there, thank you.

What noise are in the background!? Are these your knees? 😉

Great video. Curious about the types of rescue/ floatable ropes you’ve used. Looking to add these to my canoe. Great advice. Cheers from the other side of the pond.
