SIGURD OLSON — The Singing Wilderness
Canoe country, written by the man who did most to protect it.
KELLY KETTLE — Base Camp Kettle
Irish, family-made, and boils water with a handful of twigs. Fuel you never have to carry.
FEUERHAND — Baby Special 276 Lantern
The hurricane lantern, made in Germany to the same pattern since 1902. Burns paraffin, survives anything.
PETROMAX — Fire Kettle
German steel built for open fire. Heavy, and only sensible because something else carries it.
FROST RIVER — Waxed Canvas Rucksack
Built in Duluth from waxed canvas and bridle leather. Repairable by anyone with a needle and patience.
DULUTH PACK — Portage Pack
Made for carrying a canoe outfit over a portage and essentially unchanged in a century, because the problem hasn't changed. Canvas, leather, brass.
ROROS TWEED — Wool Blanket
Norwegian lambswool from a mill on the edge of the mountains. Contemporary pattern, ancient logic.
FARIBAULT WOOLEN MILL — Wool Blanket
One of the last American woollen mills still spinning and weaving under one roof.
PENDLETON — Yakima Camp Blanket
The workhorse blanket. Heavy enough for a bedroll, plain enough to disappear into use.
PENDLETON — Motor Robe with Leather Carrier
Pure virgin wool, woven in Pendleton's own American mills, rolled and buckled into a leather carrier. The object this whole store is organised around: warm, heavy, repairable, and better at thirty than at three.
