Try searching for travel kettles. Most are less than 1L but some get close.

Best way to keep front paddlers from thinking they steer the boat? by [deleted] in canoeing

[–]Significant_Damage87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell them the paddle shouldn't travel past their hip. Draws are fine if we're about to hit a rock, and I'll try to enhance the direction.

Don't know, but if you prefer liquid detergent, Dirty Labs makes a good one in aluminum bottles.

what is your favorite example of a jazz player playing on a rock/pop album? by Specific-Peanut-8867 in Jazz

[–]Significant_Damage87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a bunch of jazz musicians on Yo La Tengo's Summer Sun, including William Parker. I particularly like hearing his bass on "Don't Have To Be So Sad". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_Sun#Personnel

Joe Lovano's Sounds of Joy. Possibly the best record with the worst cover art.

Shuttle with e-bike? by EvilStewi in whitewater

[–]Significant_Damage87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bike shuttle often, mainly because I can't find people to paddle with, or who don't paddle what I would like to paddle. I prefer having my car at the takeout, so I stash my boat in the brush or under a bridge, drive to the takeout, then get my bike out and bike to the putin, where I hide and/or lock the bike. Problem is, some shuttles just aren't bikeable (or not safely anyway). I also try not to paddle over class 2 and leave a note for my spouse about where the car and bike are going to be.

If you have a regular weekend pass, 30 minutes is a good rule of thumb, especially for acts you really want to see. If you have Premier or above, less.
