To deck or not to deck. A question we will now need to ask ourselves - thanks to North Water Paddle Sports Equipment who has helped us level-up this Dagger Dimension for our Big Water ambitions this year. Although we maintain that good paddling skill is very important for hitting that ‘dry line’ we also recognize that often ya just can’t - making a decked boat less likely to dump and surviving a long, continuous rapid.
Like any piece of gear you add to your canoe, it’s always a good idea to weigh the benefit against the cost of entrapment.
Leave a comment below. We’d love to hear your experience with spray decks. What do love or hate about them? Have you ever had an issue with entrapment?

Jennings River Showcase 7/7. Teslin Lake - Our trip ended with a 60km paddle on Teslin Lake. The name Teslin is derived from a Tlingit word for “long sewing sinew”, sometimes also translated as “long, narrow lake”, which Teslin Lake certainly is. This section could have been challenging in stormy weather, but we luckily had sunshine and the wind at our back. There was enough wind to sail the final leg of our trip into town. Teslin Lake is stunning, and we enjoyed beach campsites with big vistas of the surrounding sky and mountains, and a visit from six neighbouring loons.

Not to be missed - for intermediate - advanced canoeists with a hearty sense of adventure and also an appetite for hiking. Amazing value for 16 days in the wilderness.

Hellman Scout for sale, only $1800!
One of our Elements alumni asked me to post this sweet tandem whitewater canoe for sale here in case there are any other people in the Elements community looking for a boat.
If you’re like me, and find that the royalex boats seem to get heavier every year that I get older - this is a canoe to consider. Tough, yet very lightweight, the Scout has plenty of rocker and is fully outfitted for the playing in the river.
This is half the price of a new one - plus it’s already outfitted - so don’t delay if you’re interested!
Please message me and I’ll send you the contact info.

Jennings River Showcase 6/7. Wildlife - The Tlingit name for the Jennings River is Six' aati Heen, meaning "abundant river". We saw so many moose it was hard to keep count. We were also visited by eagles, osprey, loons, gulls and songbirds, and we fished for grayling, lake trout and pike. The Cassiar mountains had plenty of huckleberries, wild blueberries and bog cranberries, and we found signs of caribou and wolves high up in the alpine.

A friend sent me these photos from when she worked on the Bonnet Plume River circa 2006 - not too long ago when the Peel River watershed was under pressure from mineral exploration. Look for the tiny white boxes at the base of the mountain – and you’ll see the camp.

Jennings River Showcase 5/7. Camping - Camping on the Jennings is different from other northern rivers we’ve paddled - it only has a few of the large gravel bars that one would normally camp on. We relied on pine benches, small meadows, sandy eskers, and points of land. Every site had something to offer, were it vistas, fishing, swimming, wildlife-viewing, or a game of yahtzee and a second cup of tea.
