Ha Hudson Bay.

Wes Housler has some double blankets for sale.
I've seen one, and they look pretty good.

Hi Ole,

In the journals of Nathanial Wyeth he mentions on
page 23, "my covered
fishing rod".  There are numerous times when he
mentions trading fish hooks
with the Indians for various items.

So fishing rods in the west go back at least to 1834.

Ole,

I'm told Buck just finished a cane 3 section pole
and rawhide case, equipped with Mr. Jones lines,
flys and hooks, even has a 1780 style brass bait
box by GBW. If the pictures came out he said an
article will appear in the next issue of T&LR.
I'm told by "Hook" that it's very nice, should be
fun to look at in the journal.

How are you going to carry all the poles required in a canoe? Suggest you explore a one-pole lodge that many makers offer. They will probably sew you one up from whatever material you want.

I'd want telescoping poles. I've got a telescoping lightweight fiberglass pole I use for changing light bulbs. It goes down to less than 6' should fit in a 16' tandem canoe without being a nuisance. Doubt if these poles are strong enough, but I could try to find some industrial-sized poles in maintanence catalogs. But that's the only idea I've got for poles, though. I've seen an ad for some kid tipis with "breakdown poles," but I suspect they're just folding wood. Wood is too heavy and bulky. My tandem canoe can handle a total of 900 pounds, but I don't wanna torture myself to get just 10-15 miles/day. Anyway, like I say, this is probably a hairbrained idea anyway. There are lots of shelters that would be more practical for transporting in a canoe (probably almost any shelter), but I thought I'd tap the vast experience of the outdoorsmen on this list and see if anybody's paddled with a tipi like this before with success. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

But for modern camping, not a bad idea and has been done. For such a light tipi you can use 12' to 13' poles, cut them in half and then sleeve them like you do for tents. Nomadics tipi makers have a page showing this style.
