Hey Folks,

A Scout Leader from England was looking to bring his scouts to Canada/Maine and was looking for a host. Not sure of the details but if you are interested or know someone who might be send me your details and I will pass it on to him.

Thanks,

Alright Folks,

Against my better judgement and probably at the expense of my job for the video I made with Scott in it (which I encourage you to watch) this is the Gnarly Nub Picture contest. Here's how it works:

Upload a picture of your dry, nubbed, gnarled, pruned, cracked, gross feet (if its from paddling that is) and you can win Free subscriptions, hats, t-shirts, stickers and whatever else I can find lying around the office that might make a good prize. Contest will run until October 31 2011 (to give you time to work on the nubs) and only pics added in this forum or in the comment section of the blog post count. We might use the pics other places though (like on Facebook and have folks judge). As you can tell it's not a super serious contest (just trying to give you guys some free stuff but have fun doing it!) so don't get to worked up if you don't win.

Get Posting your Gnarly Nubs!

Hey folks,

The Rapid Media crew is in Utah for the Outdoor Retailer show (where all the latest and greatest gear is on display) running the paddle zone and will be bringing you video updates of some of the cool stuff we find. If anyone has any requests let us know and we'll do our best to get some coverage for you.

I'm totally on board with this! If people actually wore their PFD's and stopped mixing paddling and alcohol there would be WAY less fatalities.

Check this out and let us know what you think, is this too much or spot on?

Check out this video of a portable anchor we found at Canoecopia. At first I thought it would be great for the Kayak Fishing crowd but now I'm thinking there are lots of uses that it might be good for. Anyone used one or something similar? Would satisfy Transport Canada instead of bringing an extra paddle?

RMTV did an interview at the Outdoor Show a few weeks ago on the new SPOT/DeLorme Device
www.canoerootsmag.com/blogs/rapid-media-...eo-rmtv-delorme.html

Wondered if anyone has used one yet? How well do they work? Any issues with them? Are they worth it?

I'd like to hear from fellow paddlers before I get one for myself (well my wife actually)
