The Malibu is a barge and will not be very maneuverable for one paddler. Of course if all you are going to do is sit and fish that is not such a big deal so that's up to you. The biggest headache will be hauling it -- carrying and loading it on the car alone is a pain with a boat over 60 lbs...

Sure, I did that regularly in my 20's. I used to go backpacking even in the middle of the winter at temperatures way below zero, often without a tent, just a lightweight tarp. Didn't need a firearm either (have never carried one -- what would you need it for?) I had a number of female friends...

Meh. Sounds like second rate Country and Western song. No rhythm, no meter, dopey rhymes, awkward phrasing, cliches, overdone topic. A rant with some accidental assonance does not constitute a "poem." Every teen in the country (and probably every other country in the world) has written some...

27kg (around 60 lbs) is an awfully heavy pack for any average sized person. As a rule, you should try not to carry more than 25% of your body weight on a long hiking trip, especially over steep terrain. So for an average guy at 160 lbs of wieght, he should not carry much more than 40 lbs...

I like the foil packed tuna and salmon you can get at the grocery store (though it's not a great idea if you are camping in bear country because the packaging retains the fish scent.) The smoked and teriyaki salmon and the lemon pepper tuna are very tasty. Bring pita bread or tortillas to roll...
