Paddlesports Tip

Keep knots and kinks from jamming in your throw bag by stuffing it correctly!
    Step 1. Untangle and spread out your rope on a clean surface.
    Step 2. Turn your back to your rope, drape it over your shoulder and begin to coil it into your throw bag.
    Step 3. Ensure you’re stuffing the bag evenly and that kinks are untwisting behind you.

Drysuit Care
To find pinhole leaks in Gore-Tex® fabric dry tops: 1) Turn the suit inside out. 2) Soak the tip of a rag in rubbing alcohol and dab over the suspect area. 3) The hole will show up as a contrasting color. Allow area to dry and seal (on the inside surface) with Aquaseal®.

Fire Building Tip
One of the easiest campfires to build and maintain, the “lean-to” fire is a simple pyramid-shaped lean-to built against the side of a large piece of firewood. Build up the lean-to using pencil-sized wood first followed by progressively larger wood. Leave a gap to insert tinder into the interior. Cover the gap with small wood once the tinder is alight.
