NMW is North Maine Woods. Maine Public Lands are free, unless it’s inside the NMW, then you have to pay a road use fee. There are some very nice destinations in the Maine Public Lands if you want to stay in one place or on a few different lakes, I’m close to them and have really liked them for...

Yes, in the North Maine Woods you are restricted to established campsites, and some are big enough for multiple parties, (who wants that), and the road fees plus camping fees are pretty steep. (NorthMaineWoods.com) If you paddle rivers outside the North Maine Woods fees are much less or free...

I consider myself a “content provider” and never an influencer. I don’t promote anything other than wood, canvas and leather. I rarely if ever talk to the camera, and I try to keep my videos short. I enjoy setting up shots that really don’t interfere with whatever I’m doing, either in the shop...

I’ve been wondering what happened to this guy, New Member Intro - Emmanuel Katto Uganda Imagine his answer to walking your dog at night or defending your food barrel threads…

Merry Christmas to all!

Well said, Me too.

Were you fellas wearing dry suits? Do they keep you warm enough? Nice trip, I enjoyed the video, Thanks.

What looks good at BushcraftUSA doesn’t mean it can work here, they have a very active forum with hundreds of members on line at any time. Right now we have 8 members on line. We already have a “Small Scale Site Related Retailers”, it’s the third least used forum page we have. I don’t like the...

Well that may be your experience but I doubt if Glenn will be doing any half mile portages, Mucks are used by many in construction and farming daily.

I took a chance and bought a pair of Muck Boots (Edgewaters-14”) a few years ago and I really like them for canoeing. They have a thin felt lining, not really a winter boot but I use them year round. Easy on and off and I like how you can quickly tuck your pants leg into them for warmth and...

Where is the disrespect? I have a square stern canoe with a motor, not for everyone and someone actually mentioned that in one of my threads, which is fine, not disrespectful at all.

Lots of good information/ideas for some classic bedrolls and covers. I was going to make my own waxed tarp and lay a lightweight rug over it but I went with the one I purchased. Having the wool blanket sewn to the tarp seems like it will stay in place better. Like a wood canvas canoe, entering...

I don’t have a floor in my small wall tent so I recently ordered a combination waxed canvas tarp with a wool blanket sewed to it. While it’s not an exact match to my tents floor dimensions, if I fold the sod cloth in at the bottom of the tent walls it will fit nicely and help keep out those...

Boatman53 said: “Stupid question but did you try nailing the ribs with the boat rightside up? gravity helps. That’s to only way I’ve been able to rib repair a canoe without help which was most of the time. Don’t hesitate to ask me for help on site, I don’t live that far away and will work for...

Those are some great old pictures Rusty, hard to beat a square stern and children fishing out of them. My grandson loves fishing and my 16’er is just right for the two of us.

I remember when Canoe and Kayak Magazine was just Canoe Magazine, Collinsville Canoe and Kayak in Connecticut was just Collinsville Canoe. Lots more examples out there like these. When I used to visit Pnet it seemed like most of the conversation was dominated by kayakers, especially the off...

I just started re reading Trap Lines North, interesting story of a family in Nakina, Ontario back in the 30’s. There is actually a website Traplinesnorth.proboards.com with a ton of interesting information about the book/family/area.

Yes, I’m an IG guy. Beavertail100, I have over 1500 followers. What I like about IG is that I have fine tuned my algorithms to my interests, I.e., wood canvas canoes, canvas tents, traditional gear, traditional canoe camping, 18 wheelers, old pick up trucks, Vietnam war. I still visit...
