Paddle Blades "Anyone have experience with these?" I bought some a year or so but haven't had them on the water yet. They are small - quite a bit smaller than you're likely envisioning and als... |

PFD Tim: PFD's are a personal call, so learn what you can and make a decision that suits your situation/skills and risk tolerance. I personally don't use a PFD on lakes, but that's not to ... |

Starlyte In my tests, the restricted Starlyte took about 1:30 longer to boil than the regular Starlyte. Since uses the same or less fuel, if you can boil on 15ml with the regular one you should be able to b... |
