Greetings!
October is just around the corner and with it will come the arrival of our Fall catalog. The Boundary Waters Catalog, October edition features our long-time guide Aaron Chick paddling on the Burntside River near Ely. His long-haired passenger is Jethro Piragis - a Bearded Collie (a herding breed of dog once used primarily by Scottish shepherds, but now mostly a popular family companion).
 This weekend you'll be able to browse our online catalog for new items. We are receiving our newest inventory this week and we'll have the new items up online before the weekend is over. The new catalogs are scheduled to arrive in your mailboxes on October 1st.
What might we have in store for you this Holiday season? Well, you will just have to wait and see, but some fantastic new jewelry, fun camping toys, knives, chocolate, solar goodies and more won't be out of the question.
It is BEAUTIFUL here in Ely. The next two weeks in particular look to bring awesome weather. If you are considering a trip to take in our fall colors and escape to the wilderness, we highly recommend it!
Fire restrictions remain in effect in the entire Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Campfires are allowed only between 7 p.m. and midnight. Recently a film crew stopped by and they shot some footage with Steve Piragis. Share it with your friends and introduce them to Piragis! We will begin planning the adventure of a lifetime in the Boundary Waters with them for next year!  | Piragis Northwoods since 1979

We hope to see you soon in beautiful Ely, Minnesota! From the End of the Road, Tim Stouffer, Marketing Director and Webmaster Piragis Northwoods Company |

Backwoods Cops and Common Sense by Cliff Jacobson
It began at one of Rutabaga's famed "Canoecopia" events. I stopped to chat with Larry Laba, CEO of SOAR inflatables. Larry had a bone to pick with my book, "Expedition Canoeing", in which he said I had included every type of canoe, except his.
I told Laba I didn't think SOAR's were "real" canoes." At this, Laba launched into a dissertation, politely suggesting that I was largely out-to-lunch. I listened quietly and promised to eat crow and try a SOAR. Someday.
Someday came in 2003 when Laba received a hard-to-get permit to canoe the Gates-of-Ladore section on the Green River, which runs through Dinosaur National Monument. Ten select paddlers, including Susie and I, were invited to go. We'd paddle SOAR boats, of course.

The World's Finest Camp Knife gets an upgrade: Is that even possible?
What could beat such a stellar recommendation by Cliff Jacobson? "Very impressive knife, Steve. I can't believe the beautifully thin cutting edge. It takes real skill to grind a knife that fine. Bradley is a fantastic bladesmith. The steel is a high end alloy and it is the very best. The balance is superb. The blade length is just right, and the sheath is top notch." Try John's new Damascus version of our best-selling knife.
The Damascus Camp Knife is made of damascus (pattern welded) steel containing three layers of 52100, 4 layers of 5160, 3 layers of 203E and 3 layers of 15N20, which are forged welded and folded to 416 layers. This steel is made by Alabama Damascus. It is shaped, flat ground, etched, heat treated and tempered, handled and finished by John Bradley. It is guaranteed for life as are all of his knives. Your Price $450.00. We only have 3 of these. If you are looking for the ultimate Christmas Gift, look no further, and don't delay :)
The Calendar you've all been waiting for The Boundary Waters and Quetico 2013 Calendar:
Full color wall calendar with photographs that will bring the Canoe Country into any room. Twelve images by photographers who live and travel in the area. Permit information, moon phasees, hunting and fishing season dates, emergency contacts, and many other resources for trip and vacation planning.
