Check out Meriwether Field Gear and Whiskeyjack Paddles out of Whitefish MT. The design and beauty of Dannys custom outdoor products ticks all my boxes. I'd grab a trout net w. release, a double bit axe and a curved wading stick right away. Until i saw his paddles i didn't even know i needed a canoe, now i do. Meriwether also happens to sell the absolute best out of Filson's line of products.
