    I think there's a couple of fellas going (some of us are still a little wary of the global pandemic that is Covid), but more will be gathering at Valens Conservation Area that evening to enjoy good company around a fire. You're more than welcome, just bring a mask and something delicious to share (Just kidding. It's well known that half of an EGL hang could show up with zero food and still come away well fed. We're funny that way).

    What do you folks wear on your hands while paddling just after ice out? I have a pair of rubber dipped cotton gloves (see pic) but I find they are too sticky.Rubber Gloves.jpg

    Test of insert pic. Wasn’t able to do this without setting up a Tapatalk account, which I didn’t bc I don’t need to pay more monthly fees. But somehow I’m able to post pics now.

    Is the hammockforums account different from the Tapatalk account?

    I know this isn’t really on topic but google was no help.

    I highly recommend bringing along something to wear on your hands. You may not need them for years, but when you do, you'll have appreciated lugging them around. We've paddled in rainy, cold weather so miserable that a coat of ice was forming on our paddles. I had forgotten my gloves so my paddling partner kindly shared one of his gloves so we could wear one glove while gripping the handle while dunking our lower hands in the "warm" lake to keep them from freezing.

    I have two types, either a faux-leather (might be real) leather palmed/neoprene backed full glove (bought on the way out of the park immediately after the aforementioned glove sharing incident)...

    or a standard wool fingerless glove (I find the full fingered gloves too slippery)...

    My understanding is that Tapatalk is simply an app that allows users to consolidate all of their forums of interest into one place/newsfeed. I'm pretty sure that you'd still need to subscribe to each of the underlying forums.

    That is correct. I use it for being able to see several forums that I subscribe to in the same app.
    I do NOT pay for their pay version.

    Thanks for the reminder on gloves! That's something I'd have forgotten. Forgot my hat for Ralph Bice, and sunglasses for a car camp at Pog Lake. Might have to run some yarn through my jacket so I don't lose the gloves!
