Matt's - not so much (well, not for the > watertrails opinions, anyway, as pertains to Canadian waters). LOL... I have paid over-and-over for Matt's opinions; at least his opinions on boat designs. And I suspect I'm not done yet. I have an almost new Mariner II in my front yard and my wife, Susan, is mulling over an Express. And in six weeks I'll be building an SOF based on his Coaster. Pam - who corrupted me in the Mariner direction a few years ago - is in the same bat. So to speak. So may the outhouses that will surely come one day be a compromise too. Pooping in the wilderness has been an issue with me for 50 years. I have never felt comfortable doing it in the any of the traditional ways and it's one of several reasons why I am moving towards kayaking via a mothership (with an enclosed head compartment). The newer systems - using bags and containers - would have made my wilderness tripping (either on foot or by kayak) much more enjoyable. I think the "Left a Trace" thread on West Coast Paddlers expresses it well. So if eco-friendly outhouses are inevitable at least they'll serve a usefull purpose. > > I'm waiting on the Northwest Passage to melt up, personally. > > Meet you in Pt.
