Sorry Not Sorry for the rage. All People who love clean water to paddle in, The time for action is now.

Sorry its not directly paddling related but its paddling related in an indirect way. We as paddlers need to take some action. Even if you don't paddle the BWCA, if this is happening there its only a matter of time before it comes to your preferred waters. Clean water is life and it is the life blood of our sport and our mental sanity. Thanks for calling and saying NO to HJ Res. 140. Call 202-224-3121

Senate Votes 50 to 49 to Strip Boundary Waters Protections in Defiance of Public Opinion, Science: Such a disappointment.

This is such a loss, I feel this in my soul. There is still a path to block it via the state of MN. I'll post more info about how to do that soon. It does seem that if the Congressional map flips there is a chance we can alter the situation. If that doesn't work I hope people are able to organize physical disruption. It is criminal that corporations can just buy our legislators and thwart the will of the people. Especially as united as the people seem to be about protecting the BWCA and other public treasures. If you are a republican or someone who thinks mining around the BWCA is a good idea please show some backbone and explain why is your science different?

2 Years of owning my Pakboat and I still love it. So light, surprisingly tough, Flys on Planes.

If anyone is interested in seeing how it gets put together there is a video on my channel ('days on the land'). It seems complex and for some peoples purpose it is. But I think like any tool it has to be matched to the job. Could a large inflatable do the same job? Sure, but with an inflatables own compromises.
