This is Greg from Yukon Territory. We use Freighter canoes mostly as a way to get moose from the bush. So we have three freighters from a 17 foot that will carry 770 pounds to an 18 foot Clipper that will carry 1500 pounds and a 21 foot 60" wide beast from Scott that will carry over a ton. We also have 4 paddle canoes from a 15 foot solo from Clipper to a nice royalex 16 foot Prospector in Red (Bill Mason would be happy) and a 17 foot Old Town tripper with a bit more life in it but heavily used! Finally I picked up a 17 foot PakBoat for fly in trips.
Our gear tends to be traditional like our Winchester Model 71 in 348, and a plethora of canvas portage packs and wooden wannigans with of course TUMPLINES!. I love the Tumpline! However we also like the big blue barrels with fancy harness and the big freighter sports a fancy surface drive engine from Louisiana that allows us to hop beaver damns. Love the country the canoe opens up for us and I retire in 5 months so next summer I will do tripping full time and attempt to wear out some gear.
Put lot's of stuff on Youtube. Here is a Moose hunt with the 348 that might serve as an intro to me and my favourite hunting partner my son who is now 16 and an accomplished moose hunter in his own right as well as the centre of his Senior basketball team... (no longer small). Like the looks of your site. Thanks for having us.
