		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking of trading in my folding PakCanoe for a lighter, more maneuverable vessel (I have the 17-footer, but I would be fine with a 16-, or even 15-foot), but not because it has let me down in any way. For any of you who are unsure as to the viability of the PakCanoe [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I came across an article on this subject from the Ontario Parks Insider enewsletter. It&#8217;s a quick overview of the main tasks to think about when you&#8217;re squirreling your gear away for the off-season, or just to give your gear a good clean after some hard use. Although camping and outdoor pursuits don&#8217;t need to end [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[io9.com has an article on Nanotech sachets that use inexpensive materials (nanofibres and activated carbon particles) in a &#8216;teabag&#8217; form, to use with individual-sized water bottles. Although it seems like it would be very affordable, I&#8217;m not convinced it&#8217;s such a good thing, as these disposable teabags only will purify one litre of water, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  I&#8217;d like to talk about one decision I&#8217;ve made when it comes to kitchen on a canoe trip. There&#8217;s a part of me that wants to go as ultra-light as possible, knife and a flint striker and some rope, and improvise from there, but there&#8217;s another, more obsessive side that wants to bring every [...]]]></description>

The time has flown by, and the crunch of new responsibilities has died down a bit. I&#8217;ve gone on a few trips, and I&#8217;m ready to start keeping up [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve put it up on Kijiji, my first ever post on something like that, so we&#8217;ll see how things go. I&#8217;ve also now put it up on Craigslist, and [...]]]></description>

It has a gps, but I&#8217;m not sure how good it will be, since it [...]]]></description>
