Yeah but a canoe heist. How many canoe heists have you heard of, huh? That's right, zero. Till this one.

How can you be so into heists but also into being a hardboiled detective. Aren't the two personas at odds with one another

OK here's a canoe story, I hope you enjoy: I had just quit my big city job in a rage without any plan, and weeks later found myself living at my family's shack on a lake. I know, a blessing, I was very lucky. I lived there from early May to 10/31, there was no heat or insulation and it got real cold.... Anyways, I'm in the canoe and the water is high, overflowing this dam section. I canoe by it, and see that the stream behind the dam is raging, full flow. Hmm. I take the canoe out of the lake and put it in this stream (this is called "portaging"), and off I go down these Spring fueled rapids. Come to a beaver dam, portage. Come to another beaver dam, portage. And I keep going, miles away now and all the way "down town", which is another pond with a general store. And there my canoeing adventure ended, but now I was like 5 miles from the cabin, with a canoe, in the 90's, so no phone. And so I commenced on one of the greatest physical acts I've ever done. I picked up the big canoe and marched directly through the woods, and for the next like 4 hours battled through the primal forest, with a giant canoe on my back. My god it was so hard, and no one saw, and it was all so stupid and pointless yet I tell you this was a monumental, epic struggle. I emerged hours later on the other side of lake, this guy in another camp saw me and came to my aid. We drank a few beers in his camp - he was a retired firefighter from NJ and the only person on this Earth who even glimpsed what I just went through. I was cut, bleeding, destroyed...

Luvcow posted:that seems like an epic pain in the rear end I was an idiot of course. The smart move would have been to get a ride, or just walk back on the road and then drive back and pick up the canoe. I tell you, there's a distinctive feeling being in the middle of the forest - no trail, no paths, no signs, just the forest - with this big rear end Old Town Canoe that weighed 100? 150? It was a big canoe. Realizing I'd made a real bad choice. It's clarifying.

my canoe story is about my last canoe partner before I got my kayak he was one of my roommates and we were in our mid/late 20s. we probably managed to make this journey ~30-40 times one year. tidal river, 30 pack and a quarter of weed. set out early morning, ride the tide out ~8 miles with a few places to stop and piss and rest. stop at my families dock and eat, piss and rest and then turn around and ride the incoming tide back 8 miles to where we put in. sun burnt a sun drunk and somehow drive home. then he got a girl pregnant and it all came to an end.

So I lived in this shack, no heat/no insulation, which was fine for most of the Summer, but come October 1, it was cold. I would canoe to the far side of the lake at sunset, the last place the sun touched for the day, and try and absorb the warmth.....

I would canoe out to this tiny little island from 4 to sunset. And on this tiny little island I had this sitting spot up on a cliff, between two white pines whose roots make for a nice little flat sitting area, overlooking it all. I would read "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" as the novels I was writing were infused with mythology/hero journey/etc and I wanted to absorb my mind in mythology, in epic magic.....
