Bioroot Energy

has generously offered to sponsor the Montana portion of my upcoming book tour.

As a scientist and a writer, I endorse Bioroot Energy for its promise to convert all types of carbon rich waste and non-crop biomass streams into useful, clean-energy biofuels, suitable for use in cars, truck, and other transportation systems, thereby contributing to the new sustainable social and technological paradigm that offers so much hope and promise.

      I've tried many different sails on my kayaks over the years, but now I've come home to roost.  I used a Wind Paddle Sail on my 2010 solo expedition in the Solomon Islands.  This is the best sail I have ever used and I recommend it highly.  It lifts the bow, providing plenty of power, while at the same time is low to the deck and stable.  In addition, the sail is very compact and extraordinarily light and easy to set up and take down, which fits my kayak temperment perfectly.  
Johnson Outdoors has provided kayaks and gear for my last two South Pacific expeditions.
Johnson is a major supplier of numerous top of the line brands:
I used Ocean Kayak Prowler sit-on-tops for my Vanuatu expedition in 2008 and my Solomon Island expedition in 2009. I believe that sit-on-tops are not only fun for warm-water recreation but also they are the best kayaks on the market for serious open ocean adventures in tropical waters. I have been spending long days at sea and I know that I would get cramped in a cockpit boat. I relish the stability, speed, agility and the ability to wiggle around, all offered by the Ocean Kayak Prowler.
I have used Lendal Wing paddles on my last three expeditions. On an expedition, every gram of paddle weight corresponds to lifting one ton a month. Light paddles are essential. I’ve also come to love the cutting edge design of Wing paddles that surpass conventional concepts of performance.
I round my gear list with comfortable, functional, Extrasport paddle clothing and PFD’s
I’ve been using Eureka tents off and on since my first Andean expedition in 1976 and have always been delighted and amazed that these innovated designers can keep making improvements on a basic nylon shelter.
 
      Many thanks to Zeal Optics for keeping me supplied with the best sunglasses and goggles on the market.
