(And you can carry a lot of frozen steaks in a canoe. With the makings for fresh-baked biscuits. And suitable refreshments, and hot desserts. Rough it? heck no, we prefer to smooth it.)
I get the feeling that canoeists live in an entirely different universe than backpackers. Beef jerky, anyone?
Could I surmise that "suitable refreshments" come in cans that fizz when you pop them open?
