The Grank Trunk skeeter beeter does sound absurd but it is a real thing. I own one. It looks like a giant tent worm colony hanging in a tree.
Oh man, All good questions. I went with the Bending Branches Sunburst and I love it. Its a carbon/wood hybrid paddle. I liked the beauty of the wood and the uniqueness of this paddle.
Sometimes people talk about the 'most important' piece of gear, "Oh your paddle is the most important thing! Can't go anywhere without a paddle!" but I always get annoyed when people use that to justify spending extra cash. Lets be real most of the stuff out there with you is vitally important. (Even those party lights!)
But here's what sold me on the fancy paddle. It's an item I am going to USE the most. Hours each day, all weather, all season. If you like to move out there you're going to spend most of each day paddling. So I think its totally worth it to get something that you really like. Beavertale, Bent, Strait, whatever feels good to you I think. (It's not a race, I don't need to absolutely maximize efficiency, I'm out to try to get out of that mindset.) Anyways, I love my paddle, it works great, it feels good to use, it looks beautiful and makes me happy. The looks part, people often ignore or look down upon but I think it makes me value it more and take care of it better. It's a life long purchase, hopefully. -- Also I think the carbon was worth it. I normally dont worry about being ultra light, (Bring the frying pan ya know!) but you are going to physically pick up this paddle out of the water like 10,000 times each day. Every little bit of weight shaved off adds up and you can keep paddling a little longer if you want.
Before I purchased I thought about taking a class at the folk school to make one, and I also read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Canoe-Paddles-Complete-Guide-Making/dp/1552095258. Its amazing, if you are looking for the details/differences on different paddle types it's a must read.
Enjoy! Post back when you pick one out.
Id like to know how that works out. I just bring a plastic dripper, toss a filter/coffee in the funnel and let the hot water and gravity do the rest.
I really liked the book Adventure North, Two teenagers basically lived Canoeing with the Cree.
