Loads of good tips there, thank you.

Thanks - just purchased a boat and your video is really helpful. I hadn't realised there was so much outfitting involved. ATB - Paul

Nice way of tying the bowline. Been tying it for almost 20 years the way I was taught but I like that better.

Excellent systems and kits.

Good tips in this video. My river has strong current and usually windy. I really need to install a kneeling seat. Love the stone wall, alot. Nice Quebec canoe. I have my eye on a tformex boat. Im using a royalite dagger, an old timer these days. Doesnt like Quebec winters, Gflex is my friend. I do take very good care of the old girl. Cheers, Paul, Laval, Qc.

Well done...Thankyou!  Bowline demo is terrific.

Great info on the setup of your dry bag. Using it as a rescue couter-balance is a great idea.  I pull a loop through my rear carrying hand that is long enough to go about 6" under the water to use as a step to get back in.

bloody excellent set up video. not just what but why. nice

So many fantastic tips!! Thanks

Great video Gary, looking forward to seeing more

great tips, thanks for sharing

Thanks for the video, super helpful. Cheers

Excellent information, thank you!! ;)

Lovely explanation. Excellent use of knots. Your bowline, however,  is technically a "cowboy bowline," which is fine. But in a proper bowline the tail will end inside of the loop, not on the outside. It depends on which side you "poke the end through." Yet, your method is more versatile because you can easily adjust the size of the loop, as you demonstrated.

WOW - great information, especially 10:30 on.

Thank you Sir.

Love that esquif,

Shout out for esquif prospectuer 16s.
Love mine

As time goes on things will probably adapt and change on what I do, and boat development

Great video. Curious about the types of rescue/ floatable ropes you’ve used. Looking to add these to my canoe. Great advice. Cheers from the other side of the pond.
