Kroka Expedition Paddles & Gear

While browsing around I came across some blogs for Kroka Expeditions which run a 5 month semester program taking youth on a 600 mile ski and canoe journey from January to June. Blogs from previous years showcase the homemade gear the students make (paddles, pack baskets, etc). Here is a selection that I found interesting...

For anyone interested, I just found the blog for the 2013 semester. Looks like the group just departed on their skiing journey. Looking forward to their canoe pics in the spring. Check it out at: http://krokavermontsemester2013.blogspot.ca/
