Save lists as web pages (File/Save As). They are then available for viewing, printing, or manipulating with Word, WordPerfect, etc. Improvise or die! Wonderful information, improved my trips, THANKS!

I can't get the whole list of Canoeing/Paddling Gear to print. It skips everything beyond duckboots, but then clearly prints the subscription demand, in color, wasting my printer cartridge. Fix it, and skip the advertising. I already subscribe.

All of your gear lists are unavailable. There is an "item not found" message when trying to select one.

Hey is it just me or do the links for gear lists not work?
Cheers
