Major Sponsors

I'm greatful to all the companies who have helped make this expedition a reality. I would be remis, however, if I failed to give a special thanks to those who have made the greatest impact.

Canoe Country Awaits You !

Granite Gear, www.granitegear.com, gave me the run of their warehouse to outfit my expedition.

We-No-Nah Canoe, www.wenonah.com, made it possible for me to make this expedition in one of the finest canoes available.

Contributing Sponsors

These companies made smaller contributions but are no less responsible for making this expedition a reality. I would also like to add that I did not take any item solely on the consideration offered by the sponsor. Each item supplied is my item of choice for this expedition and is, in my opinion, among the finest available. See my Gear List for a complete breakdown.
