A special thanks to 30+ wonderful grade 10 boys and teachers from Crescent High School who joined us on a 4-day canoe and hike adventure in Killarney Provincial Park. Rain, high winds and a near-freezing morning temp. didn’t deter these fine folks from all getting to the highest point in the park and enjoying expansive views from the summit. Well done Crescent boys and thanks for a great trip!
Our new products are trickling onto the website every week now, with lots more waiting to get inputted to the system. Today we’re happy to announce the official release of our Premium Trail Toboggans. Made with an even more slippery and more durable form of Polyethylene (UHMW vs the original HD), our premium trail toboggans add all the features that make our original toboggans so great to an even higher performance running surface. Heading out for an ambitious, extended expedition, or just want to know at the end of the day that you hauled the best trail toboggan possible? Check out our new Premium UHWM Toboggans!.
Dave and Bora, bringing home the goods!
We’re excited to announce the Lure of the North will be offering the Saturday keynote presentation at the Winter Camping Symposium this year! This is a great event that is packed with presentations, hands-on workshops, gear demonstrations, good food and great camaraderie. In addition to our Saturday evening presentation we’ll also be hosting a special 1-day winter moccasin workshop and will host a vendor’s table as well.
To find out where else we’ll be this fall, check out the “Presentations/ Special Events” section in the store.
Ice Chisel
We have a whole pile of new products that we are planning to unveil this coming autumn, so to make it easier to keep track of all this shiny new goodness we have created a new product category appropriately titled “New Products“. Find it here, or under the store. And stay tuned for more new stuff!
An exciting adventure on the Pontax River in Northern Quebec in January, 2013. Deep snow, open water, and hairy portages made for a difficult trip! Modified plans saved the day and helped us have a wonderful time in a new landscape!
All news, no fluff! We have only ever sent out 4 - 6 newsletters a year, and always when we have a major bit of news we want to share. You know, like one of us is going to be on a fancy TV show, or we're releasing our upcoming trip or workshop schedule. Plus we also offer the occasional newsletter-only special deal!
