going to check out some canoes and whats wrong with sponsors these days?

well i've got a few leads on canoes this week just gotta run around and check them out,weight is an issue obviously and a solo canoe would be nice but they are scarcer as, long as i dont need a bilge pump i guess it doesnt really matter what it is just as long as it will float for a couple thousand miles

Still looking for a used hand held gps if anyone knows of someone who might let it go cheap and im still looking for a decent but comfortable (PFD)life jacket

  I'm shocked to see i have followers on this blog from from nine different countries!!!
its amazing how the Internet brings people together
i will start posting pics of my gear soon so you can check it out and maybe someone  will feel sorry for me and my ancient stuff and donate/loan/sponsor me some new stuff !!!!

i have talked to a few manufacturers and since I'm not a proficient blogger they were hesitant to supply much of anything...their loss i think a 15 foot ad on two sides of a canoe traveling 2,000+ miles would be great advertising especially since anyone who would see it is in the right demographic .

different countries following the blog !!

United  States, Italy, United Kingdom ,Canada, Germany, Spain, Poland ,Romania, Russia
