Hi Robin- I enjoyed these posts … and the YouTube video as well. As I am leaving for QC in about two weeks… are there any issues bringing my axe, saw and folding knife across the border? Thank you Drew

Looks great! Wish I could join… will be in Quebec on my canoe trip. Enjoy!

Awesome Ripple Pat… hope to see you in the Dacks! Cheers!

Is that the tent that Bill Mason used all those trips?
