Have you always wanted a wanigan?
In this disciplinary workshop you'll start the day with a hammer and nails assembling the wooden pieces of your wanigan. After lunch you try your hand at the basics of leather working - sewing together the leather pieces of your tumpline. By the end of the day your finished wanigan and tumpline are ready for next backcountry canoe trip.
A wanigan is a wooden box, carried with a tumpline, that can be packed and carried on a canoe trip. Most opt to store their cooking supplies in it, and it will easily hold a grill, pots and pans, cutlery, spices, etc.
This workshop makes a terrific gift and there is no experience necessary!
