Did not think much of it Sunday when my slow intellect suddenly came to the conclussion that with no electicity in the shop there is three deer hides that aint going to say frozen. Anyway after several hours I had three hides scrapped off and set out to dry Then I decided to take the four year old thoroughbred out to do a little work. Took my slow intellect a while to figure out that those hides drying nearby were the reason he was so jumpy. So may I recommend another use for your hides while they are waiting to be tanned. Use them for sacking out your cayuses. After he got to where he would stand steady on a loose lead rope while I rubbed, and threw the hides around him, I set it accross his neck and took him for a ride.

Wynn Ormond> Wynn, Generally speaking of course, most canoes aren't naturally shy of hides and such but once in a while you'll get one that is.............. Main thing to remember after you "sack" them with a couple hides thrown around them and layed across the thwarts and such is to not go overboard. By that I mean don't pile hides on either a green or hide broke canoe too high. The canoe , any canoe will buck them off if you do that. Trust me. Don't load them off center either. You've got to load the hides low in the canoe and center for best balance and safety not to mention the carrying comfort of the canoe. Off center and the canoe has to work too hard to stay upright. Ever been thrown by an off center canoe? Not a pretty sight I'll tell you! Seen it happen too many times by over zelous and inexperienced canoe packers. Trying to make it down river without taking proper care will do it every time. There's not much sense in having spent all that time collecting all them hides and taking care that they are properly scraped and dryed for market if your just going to get careless with your canoe and get them hides wet or worse, lost overboard. Which brings me to one final point. Tie them in. Do the same with anything else you pack in your canoe that you don't want to dive for or swim for. And in closing, though they are more inherently stable, the same applies to bateau and bull boats. YMOS Capt.

I ain't that brave..... Lee, I won't comment on your relative bravery, after all you do try to traverse rivers and other bodies of water in dugouts. I'm sure your right about the cantancerous nature of your dug outs. I don't know if it is inherent in the species or whether it is poor breeding habits of the owners. (how the dug outs are bred, not how the owners breed). One problem I can see from a distance (as close as I'm going to get to one of your untamed dugouts at my age) may come from the breeding stock you select. You say your using Yellow Pine? Perhaps you are really using a SUB species? Yellow Water Pine? As I have noticed from the safety of the high bank your dugouts tend to not want to deal with white water and tailouts quite the way I think a well trained dugout should. They seem to want to pitch down at the bottom of a rapid stretch of water and not resurface for some distance. Kinda like a sub?! That's why I'm guessing that your using a subspecies, not a true pure bred tree. Anyway it's just a thought and one I doubt you'll spend much time on considering the time you spent deciding to build and man dugouts rather than a proper built bateau, bull boat or canoe. Good luck and good sailing,or scouting the bottom of the Clearwater as it were. Say! An afterthough, have you considered issuing each crew member with a reed to breath through? Saves bailing.

(how the dug > outs are bred, not how the owners breed). I am deeply wounded by your slanderous verbage as it relates to the breeding of our dugouts. The are bred from the finest "whatever we can get" that is available. I must also point out that tis only the trees we cut from the crumbling slopes of Washington that have ever visited grief upon our poor souls. The Idaho trees float bravely through all. Ok, maybe not through all, but through most... well, some anyway. > I won't comment on your relative bravery, after all you > do try to traverse rivers and other bodies of water in dugouts. To quote me lovely bride on the subject of courage & dugouts..... "ye no lack bravery lad, methinks ye lack sense." Still haven't figgered that out... I gots a jar full of pennies... so I's gots lots of cents. > Good luck and good sailing,or scouting the bottom of the > Clearwater as it were. Say! An afterthough, have you considered > issuing each crew member with a reed to breath through? Saves bailing. As far as the reed idea.... indeed, that might save a goodly amount of time, particularly when it comes to passing through the rapids of the Clearwater... & we don't scout the bottom of the Clearwater, we are merely inspecting the bottom of our boats for barnicles. On another note, I've gotten meself assigned to the University detail for the next three years... should allow me some weekends to dink around with WPH party & crew. Dugouts.... the first submersable water craft!

I am really uneasy, though about the Clorox weakening the fibers and that I perhaps didn't rinse out all the residuals. I have read since that vinegar is the thing to use to kill the fungus. I havn't used it yet, but I've wished I had. The Clorox did work - but I am not comfortable. Vinegar, like lemon juice (used with salt) is an acid and acids will kill mould/fungus. so I guess it is a safer way to go. It may take some soap and water scrubbing and a good rins after, as well. If you do try the vinegar (or lemon juice), I'd like to know of your results.
