“CANOE JOURNEYS ARE ALWAYS SPECIAL; THEY HAVE A UNIQUE ABILITY TO PURGE THE SPIRIT OF UNWANTED STATIC THAT ACCUMULATES IN OUR TECHNOLOGICAL LIVES.”—RAY MEARS, PAGE 36
Behind the Scenes
What could Canoeroots editor, Kaydi Pyette, teach the world’s foremost bushcraft expert? The Canadian loon call, of course. Hijinks ensue. See her story behind this photo on page 36.

Rick Wordfold RE: WORLD’S TINIEST SURVIVAL KIT
“The best, well maybe not the best, but the thinnest receptacle for col- lecting water in such a kit would be a condom. You can carry up to one liter of water. Choose the non-lubri- cated ones. Okay, I agree your part- ner may ask what you’re doing with that in your minimalist survival kit, but it works!”
Patrice Halley,

Ed.’s note: Patrice’s claim is true—unscientific test- ing at the Canoeroots office reveals that the aver- age condom can hold well over a liter of water. We were surprised too. Check out 17 more essentials to creating the tiniest survival kit ever at www.rapid-

RE: LOVERS AND HATERS
“You say my subscription is about to expire—good!” emailed Steve Cousins. On his itemized list of reasons he won’t be renewing, number seven reads: “You have no crossword. Every self-respecting magazine has a crossword, and many have a puzzles or competition page.” Cousins concluded his an- gry missive with this final wish: “I hope your head falls off at an embarrassing moment.”
Meanwhile, canoeist, bushcraft expert and BBC TV personality Ray Mears had nothing but praise for Ca- noeroots. “I like this magazine,” he told our editor. “I can smell the wood smoke and varnish—don’t change.”
