Friend of Unsponsored Mark Mulrain has shared his video from his winter paddling adventures. Enjoy.
Winter on the White Nile from Mark Mulrain on Vimeo.
Escaping the cold of the UK for the warmth of the White Nile for Christmas and New Year. I could get used to not having to wrap up for boating.
Re-uploaded as vimeo wasn’t allowing me to link the video to other sites.
GoPro have launched a new matt black special OPs type housing for the GoPro 3 and 3+. The idea is that it gives the camera a more covert look and won’t grab the attention of those who may be caught while you are out filming.
This is the ‘Big Daddy’ of lockers – the ultimate rigging biner and one which is super strong and super tough. This should make it ideal for kayaking.

Few people have pursued Whitewater Kayaking for as long with as much passion as Bryan Kirk. Bryan discusses how he continues to experience the rivers draw while paddling the New River Dries in Fayetteville, West Virginia. Continue reading
This is a very personal account of the last 6 months and my time spent recovering from injury. It features a few dark moments before the positive outcomes so please bare with it…
This winter has been pretty tough with very limited amounts of kayaking. Back in September I dislocated my ankle wake boarding breaking both my Tibia and Fibular. As a result I was in hospital for 5 nights requiring extensive surgery to fix my ankle back together.
When you have a major injury, whilst it’s extremely painful, you do not think of the pain. As soon as it happened straight away I knew I was going to be off the water for a long time, and that feeling is a lot worse than any pain, and don’t get me wrong the pain is massive!
In hospital you are dosed up on pain killers and put in a ward with other sick and injured patients. You are left waiting for when you will go in to surgery with little knowledge whether it will be a few hours or a few days.
Palm Equipment hooked me up with one of their new FXr PFDs for test the other week and subsequent review on Unsponsored.
The favourite of expedition paddlers for many years the Peli range of storage cases have an unrivalled reputation for strength, durability and waterproofness.
The Peli range covers a vast array of possible applications from rifle case to lunch box! However their use as an expedition camera case is where its main use lies and their reputation has been built. The most appropriate sizes to consider for this use are probably the 1200 and 1300 series for cameras and the 1120 for carrying a GoPro and a few accessories.
A nice idea from our friends at Werner.
