If you like the outdoors and have been looking for something
different to do, you might consider canoeing. There are many
canoeing adventures just waiting for you and your family which
are sure to not only bring you hours of fun but also great
exercise and enjoyment. The beauty about canoeing is you can do
it in many types of water provided they are not too rough.
Most canoe adventures are through lakes, rivers and other
waterways other than the main oceans. Depending on your physical
desires some of the canoe rides can include gently rapids to
very hardy rapids to add some excitement to your trip. You can
choose trips that last from an hour to many days. The variety of
trips you can take is only limited by your imagination and
ability to take time off from work.
Most canoeing adventures are best when taken with a group of
people. You can rent a few canoes, map out your trip and take a
long weekend to leisurely canoe down the local river. Pack some
camping gear or have someone meet you at a predetermined spot
with your gear and camp out just to get up and do it all again.
Canoeing brings its own type of relaxation. The rhythm you get
into while paddling, watching nature passing by, and if you are
lucky no sounds except those made by the paddles and nature.
Canoeing adventures will give you a chance to be introspective
on life, nature and just the wonder of the world around you.
Just imagine paddling on a river and watching a fish jump right
next to you, looking you over as he heads back down into the
water.
It is a unique form of vacation and you do have to work a bit
for it, but all canoeing adventures you might experience will
stay with you for a lifetime.

Emergency stove
It's a good idea to have an emergency stove along on your trip in addition to your primary stove. An emergency backup stove can be as simple as a section of rolled up cardboard inside a tuna fish can. Stuff the cardboard (corrugated works better) into the can and then fill the can with melted candle wax. Before you leave home, light the stove once so that the wax saturates the cardboard. This will make the stove easier to light in the field.
