In the housing community next to mine, they have a rule that all boats
by the lake must have name + phone number painted on them, or they will
be seen as abandoned and towed away. Hmm, come to think of it... maybe I
should check to see if there are any abandoned ones I can restore,
before exploring that canoe idea!

It may have changed but then any power boat, even a small trolling motor,
was required to be registered and would have a hull number. Canoes,
rowboats, and small sailboats didn't.

Fortunately in that tiny lake, there are no powerboats! =)

They are very cute. Did not know they liked to eat that stuff.

They're much cuter if you don't have to live with them. They love salt and
will chew up ax handles, outhouse seats, gloves, vehicle parts, or
anything else they can get their paws on.  Apparently plywood resin tastes
good too.

But if you put out a small salt stone, I'm certain they would stop gnawing at other things?
I would be very sad if they chewed on my axe handles.

That focuses on Alaska but wherever they are you can find damage. In this
area the prevalent species at lower altitudes are Ponderosa pine, and
Douglas fir, both of which are tasty.  At higher elevations they'll chew
of true fir and spruce.

There is some confusion, at least in the US, but a porcupine definitely
isn't a hedgehog. They do have their uses.
