BWCA66 is offering this: I know from Merrimack I would donate a set of paddle straps, a set of our hood tie offs and a hat expecting nothing in return.

Boatman53 is offering this: "I also have something to offer and ship at my expense you if want, it is an old Marples sheath knife with stag handle."

This is incredibly generous of all of you to offer all of this! It shows the character of this board in so many ways, makes it what is so successful as board that keeps giving and I thank you all for this. I think that when the fund raiser reaches its goal, which in one week in very close, I'll do like Robin did and film the drawing. From there I'll post about how the winners collect their prizes. Thank you all again.

Those are some very nice raffle prizes. If the deal is still different draw-pots for US-to-US or Canada-to-Canada I’ll throw in a Canadian winner’s prize and ship it across the border to even up the offerings north of the border.

I’ll be making another batch of heat sealable Packcloth dry bags this spring, and will make a custom size dry bag for a camp chair, sleeping pad or etc. Winner can send me the length and circumference and I’ll make one to size in purple Packcloth. Those simple rectangular dry bags are easy-peazy to make in any size, and I saved all the templates from past dry bag DIYs, so even easier.

Folded flat the lightweight shipping cost should modest even to Canada, and once the materials, cutting table and iron are all at the ready I have shop fun making those.
