Big shout out to Memaquay

[Boreal Birch]

Today I received in the mail a most wonderful gift. It is a a vintage Woods Pack, with the leather axe pocket on the left side. I have for years lusted after one of these packs, now I am the recipient of one from our friend and co-member of the forum, Memaquay.
Just wanted to publicly give him a shout out and officially nominate him to the post of
canoetripping.net

MAN OF THE YEAR

If there is such a title, if not then at least in my mind there should be.
I cannot thank him enough for this kind and generous deed. I have gained a world of knowledge from his posts over the years, as have many of the other member here. Not to mention what he has done for the students at his school in Geraldton, Ontario.
Many thousands of Thanks are not enough,
………Birchy

That’s fantastic. What an incredible gift. Those are getting very tough to find.

Nice job Memaquay, your a very generous guy. I use my Woods Pack you sent me with my wall tent/wood stove outfit every trip, and those maps you sent me of the Marshall Lake circuit led me to a wonderful memory filled 10 day trip in some wild country.
That meal around your dining room table you and your wonderful wife Irene prepared for Christine, Karin, Miranda, Brad and myself will always be one of the highlights of my canoe related events. And that post trip backyard fire pit gathering holds a close second.

I nominate Mem for the CT hall of fame. Can we get a second?

The photos displayed here are from Boreal Birch and they show the beautiful pack BB received as a gift from Memaquay.
The pup in some of the photos is BB's Gordon Setter. What a combo..........
