Continue readingThis powerful film odyssey across America explores the sea change in our national attitude from pride in big dams as engineering wonders to the growing aware- ness that our own future is bound to the life and health of our rivers. Dam removal has moved beyond the fictional Monkey Wrench Gang to go mainstream. Where obsolete dams come down, rivers bound back to life, giving salmon and other wild fish the right of return to primeval spawning grounds, after decades without access. DamNation’s majestic cinematography and unexpected discoveries move through rivers and landscapes altered by dams, but also through a metamorphosis in values, from conquest of the natural world to knowing ourselves as part of nature.

The HF Weasel is HF’s smallest and most compact throw bag with a decent length of line. If space within your boat is at a premium then this bag may be the one for you. The Weasel fits even in the smallest kayak or can be fixed and carried on a waist belt (HF Swifty Belt).
If a throw bag is needed in a emergency you probably won’t have any time for a second go! Therefore the most important factors when using a throwbag is how well it throws, and how easy it is to get the bag to land on target. In both cases the HF Weasel fits the bill. I found the bag easy to throw both under and over arm. The rope pays out nicely during a throw and is also easy to repack if you do need (or have time) to have a second go.
The Weasel has been available for a number of years in both red and black. For 2020 we have a new colour option.

Check out the this latest iteration of the Kokatat Maximus Centurion Rescue PFD Limited Edition. This design comes from paddler and designer Marcus Cline.
Living in Fort William as a kayaker means one thing – a good, comfy and durable dry suit is a must! Lochaber has rain even in the driest months. In fact, we have an average annual rainfall of approximately 1777mm or 70 inches; a kayakers paradise. However, for those of us who feel the cold, a mean annual temperature of only 8.6 °C can be a enthusiasm-killer if you’re body isn’t guaranteed to be warm and dry whilst paddling, even in the summer months when you’re catching post-work Moriston laps until 10pm.
Continue readingRivers, with their dynamic currents and scenic beauty, offer a thrilling environment for activities like kayaking, rafting, and swimming. However, beneath the surface lies a lesser-known yet significant hazard: foot entrapment. Understanding this phenomenon is essential for anyone engaging in river-based recreation.
What Is Foot Entrapment?
Foot entrapment occurs when a person’s foot becomes lodged between rocks, roots, or other underwater obstacles in a riverbed. This often happens when individuals try to stand in fast-moving water, particularly when the substrate is uneven or rocky. Once the foot is trapped, the force of the current can push the person downstream, potentially pinning them underwater and causing a life-threatening situation.
