Summary

Kayaking Paddle Essentials emphasizes the importance of informed gear selection for a safe and enjoyable kayaking experience. It highlights that choosing the right paddle, personal flotation device (PFD), and watertight storage solutions are crucial for mitigating risks on the water. Paddles have evolved significantly, with modern carbon fiber designs offering superior weight and efficiency compared to older wooden models. Likewise, PFD technology has advanced to provide better buoyancy and comfort. The book explores these three essential components in detail, starting with an introduction to their fundamental principles. It then delves into paddle selection, discussing blade shapes and materials, and offers guidance on matching paddles to different kayaking styles, such as touring and recreational kayaking. A significant portion is dedicated to PFDs, comparing various types and providing advice on proper fitting and maintenance. Watertight storage is also examined, with case studies on different container types and packing strategies to protect essential supplies. By combining manufacturer specifications, expert opinions, and scientific studies, Kayaking Paddle Essentials empowers kayakers with the knowledge to make confident gear choices, enhancing both their safety and overall enjoyment on the water. The book progresses systematically across chapters, building from basic concepts to real-world applications, making it a valuable resource for both novice and experienced kayakers.

The Bone Cave - A Highland...

Dougie Strang

This is a book about stories – old stories of people and place, and of the more-than-human world.
A vivid account of a journey through the Scottish Highlands, The Bone Cave follows a series of folktales and myths to the places in which they're set. Travelling mostly on foot, and camping along the way amid some of Scotland's most beautiful and rugged landscapes, Dougie Strang encounters a depth of meaning to the tales he tracks – one that offers a unique perspective on place, culture, land ownership and ecological stewardship, as well as insights into his own entanglement with place.
Dougie sets out on his walk at the beginning of October, which also marks the start of the red deer rut. The bellowing of stags forms the soundtrack to his journey and is a reminder that, as well as mapping invisible landscapes of story, he is also exploring the tangible, living landscape of the present.
