We made them last year for the first time with our own locally harvested beavers and LOVED them. They are so warm and luxurious that we knew we had to share them with you! Find them by clicking on the photo!
We have after much anticipation completely updated our anorak DIY booklet! It is available on our Info Hub or even better, accompanies our anorak DIY kits!
We have been teaching at the Canoe Museum for the past few weekends. We finished toboggans, snowshoes, mittens and are finishing up anoraks today!
Next weekend we are making winter moccasins and if you’re lucky you’ll get the last spot! Don’t delay though because it’s out last winter moccasin workshop of the season!

The part two of our mitten making series is complete and uploaded to YouTube! To check it out head to our Mitten Making Kit page. Thank you for all of your patience and support!

We now have two spots that have opened up for our Training Camp/Vast Horizons expedition in January!
Let’s get you outside this winter and play in the snow!

Hi everyone!
Dave is on the road now for our Toboggan, Snowshoe Weaving and Snowshoe Binding workshop at the Canadian Canoe Museum. He won’t be back to the pond until next week. This means that we won’t be able to get new orders out until approximately the 26th of October. Kie and Maddy will be at the pond working away at any new order to make sure they are ready for shipment.
Thank you for your patience! We, as always, appreciate your support!

We’re offering free pickups at a variety of locations across southern Ontario this fall. Please see the schedule below. To take advantage, please place your order online at least a week in advance and choose “local pickup”at checkout. Send us a note by email or phone that you intend to meet us, and we’ll have your package ready.
Pickup Schedule, 2019:
Hope to see you this fall!
If you’ve wondered which toboggan length is right for you, or what grade of polyethylene to get, look no further than our new Toboggan Selection Guide. The guide includes videos shot and the conclusions we’ve come to over years of building and testing toboggans side-by-side on extended group trips in northern Ontario.
We’re also excited and happy to announce all of our toboggan plastics are covered by a 3 year (standard, HDPE) or 7 year (premium, UHMW-PE) warranty. Toboggan warranty details.
Finally, if you’re in Ontario and looking to save on the shipping cost of a toboggan this fall, please see our “Free Pickup Schedule” for dates and locations in Peterborough, Waterloo and Bradford, Ontario.
Buying and owning a genuine Lure of the North toboggan has never been easier!
It is time to get ready for winter folks. We have DIY kits available with everything you need to get your winter gear outfit. If you want to make your own gear but would like our guidance, then a workshop is for you! We are heading to Waterloo and Peterborough this fall to get your full kit assembled. Check out the dates and register today! WORKSHOPS
For some odd reason our winter moccasin kit pricing was way off this past month. So if you notice a price on our website that just seems totally wrong, please let us know! We fixed the moccasin kit, but will be keeping our eye out for any other discrepancies.
Thank you for your patience! Here’s a picture of two male moose to make up for it.

UPDATE: August 7
Thank you SO much for all of your interest. We had many great interviews, so much so that we felt we could make a decision. We have accepted help from across the pond again this year and am sure we’ve made a great choice. Thank you again for your interest and if you would like to hand in an application for future years please do not hesitate.Â
