We met up with our friends Regina and Jim at Algonquin to learn about a bunch of things. First and foremost, their boats. Regina and Jim have two variations of the Cruiser 14.8 and Cruiser 15.8, one as a pack boat and one as a canoe, and they have excellent reasons for paddling both boats together with two different setups. They also have a unique traveling setup, which you'll see soon. This video is a great primer on outfitting pack boats and solo canoes for backcountry travel, and how you can personalize your boat for your needs.
