Canoeing is a traditional means of traveling the wilderness and a skill developed over time. The American wilderness was unlocked by way of canoeing pioneers, and to this day, countless paddle-sports enthusiasts are discovering brand-new destinations for day, weekend and extended trips.
As a former canoeing instructor, I’ve learned many lessons on the water and under the power of a paddle. Some skills and information can be learned from books and online resources, while others are only understood through experience. The following A-Z of canoeing will help beginning and experienced paddlers alike become more knowledgeable about this useful skill and pastime.
Anchor
While not a canoeing necessity, it’s nice to have an anchor handy. These are available in miniature versions, which consist of a #10 can filled with concrete. A length of paracord is all that’s needed to hold your boat steady. You’ll use it constantly to maintain a position while fishing. It’s worth its weight in panfish fillets.
Bannock
Bannock is nothing more than flour, baking powder, a pinch of salt and whatever other ingredients you want to toss in for flavor. From cinnamon-raisin bannock to cheesy bacon bannock, this traditional camp bread is a staple when canoe camping. It sticks to the ribs and is easily fried in a cast-iron pan.
Cutlery
No boater should be without a knife. In addition to my usual belt knife, I have a knife attached to my life jacket to cut line, if necessary. I also carry an axe and a saw while exploring the backwoods in my canoe. Sometimes you just need to clear a waterway for the next boater. Of course, a good Swiss Army knife or multi-tool will be used regularly, too.
