The recipe of the "filler", this kind of dough that is put on the canvas of the canoe and which, when drying, will make them waterproof and resistant, is THE best kept secret of any canoe builder. A real magic potion that contains, among other, linseed oil, terebenthin and many other ingredients...

Yes, sometimes I use the Facebook/Google translation features, sometimes they already present both french and english versions of the same post. I’m not sure if Joey Haswish’s was a translation or his own version. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is trilingual.

No, although I would like to visit them on their route, maybe Mistassini in July.

We are very much looking forward to the great meeting of Lake Obatogamau, in mid-July 2025, where the North Sea Brigade will converge with the Attikamekw Brigade, composed of experienced rowers from the Tapiskwan Sipi and Tciman expeditions. Led by Joey Awashish, this brigade will have taken...

The canoes are 16 feet long. The model is "Chibougamau", which is comparable to the Prospector. The forms from the Tremblay canoes were all destroyed in the 80's, but veteran artisans from Tremblay Canoes Roger Jacques and Rodrigue Pelchat built new forms afterwards: it's the ones that we use...

A very good news to announce today: adventurer and filmmaker Caroline Côté joins us! She will lead the film crew that will immortalize the North Sea expedition through a documentary film. Caroline Côté is an adventure filmmaker and long-distance athlete. One of the last expeditions she made was...

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.

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...
