Got my first issue of Ralph's Newsletter 'Folding Kayaker' which is
nothing but information, albeit focused on the more transportable of the
species.  I would say that half of the information is for more general
application, such as a dry bag article and a lights for night paddling
article.  As he writes on the list, the articles are informative and
complete.  

Another very good publication is ANorAK newsletter, which shouldn't be
missed if only for the indepth articles on navigation that have been a
staple for the past  couple of issues.  I completed a Greenland 'stick'
based on very complete instructions in a past issue that actually works
well.

These are two keepers from an informational standpoint.
