Derek - Hiawatha

The BearMountain Hiawatha Project I’ve have always been meaning to share a little bit about my first stripper. I wanted to share the experience with intend of encouraging those who have thought it would be interesting to build such a craft. It began one day while browsing in a local bookstore. There it was Canoecraft, the picture on the front cover made me spell bound. I didn’t know such a craft even existed. I spent the next few months browsing the pages, anticipating the project. The book is great, whenever I needed help, the answers where all in the pages. Derek in Regina
