Did you have to use a ground cover to prevent seepage, please.

Also, i wonder why the other brand would be warmer.

Thx, efw.


I use sleeping pads and haven’t stayed in either of them more than one night in one place while snowy so haven’t had a leakage issue but yeah if I were to do that I’d get a tarp as ground cover.

It isn’t the brand that would make the Kelty warmer it’s the design which has a fly that comes down closer to the ground and less open air space up high than the Eureka.

Who made that canoe?



Thanks a lot Brian! I love duck!

As you have likely observed, that canoe was purpose built for waterfowling but served me beautifully as a platform for training my boys as advanced paddlists. I bought it from a client who was a boat dealer with a marine storage business. One of his clients on the latter side of the business left that thing after moving south and asked that it be sold. I scored an insane deal.

Here is the company’s website:
