I am outfitting my canoe with a variation of the Joe Hyde 2-anchor system. I really wanted to use his idea of the soft anchor. But I about fell over when I saw the cost of the lead shot. I have one of those mushroom anchors, but I think it is too big an clunky.
So, some questions?
- How much weight do I actually need for a canoe anchor?
- Any other sources for the shot?
- Any ideas for a substitute for the lead shot?
- Is there another type of suitable anchor?
