LOTN Beaver Mittens

Our awesomely warm, soft and comfortable Beaver and Buckskin mittens are now available as a DIY kit!  Read more, and get them here!

We have a particularly frustrating website glitch that keeps putting products and experiences “out of stock”.  Currently (as of Sept 24) all products except those listed below should be IN STOCK, if something you’re looking for is listed as “out of stock”, please contact us.  We’re working to resolve the issue. Thanks!

Only the following items truly are out of stock for the time being:

• All hand-made winter moccasins; (DIY kits available!)
• All hand-made winter mittens; (DIY kits available!)
• Killarney Big Water Expedition;
• Georgian Bay Big Water Expedition;
• Missinaibi Expedition.

We have heard the feedback now from a number of you: you want to see the ice chisels back in production!

Well as of early November we have brought in some new steel, we’ve got a bit of hardwood stock on hand, and we’re going to start producing a few trial chisels.  If that goes well we’ll get all ramped up and get these guys back in production for you in time for the start of the new year and the winter trekking season!

Thanks for your patience and stay tuned!

Wow, this is awesome news for us!  We are hugely excited to announce that Jordan Jonas, winner of Alone Season 6, will be joining us this winter to host a week-long, entirely field-based winter survival course!

This will be a hands-on course with a small group, so space is limited and we expect this to sell out quickly!  Don’t delay, sign up here!

Our DIY Mitt kits are now better than ever thanks to our new made-in-Canada felted wool!  Our warmest, softest, thickest wool yet!

We have many beautiful ribbons that are just waiting for a good home! They are not velcro approved in that the hook velcro can snag the ribbon and it will start to fray. But if you aren’t using velcro- they are lovely as ever and want you to create something beautiful with them! Click here to view the product.

Hey you! Want to escape from this heat? Us too! We’re dreaming up ways to get out even more this winter and we have added another 1-week expedition on the big waters of Lake Huron. Don’t miss it!

Moccasins on Glare Ice!

We have been accumulating large pieces of split-skin hide for years. With the good intentions of using it for small projects but it is time to clear the store for our new hide shipments! We’re gearing up for another great year and I want to make sure this hide gets into some crafty hands!  – Split Skin Bundles!
