About Courses/Workshops
In the early days of Maine guides if they needed something they didn’t buy it from LL Bean – they went out in the woods and made it.
In the early days of Maine guides if they needed something they didn’t buy it from LL Bean – they went out in the woods and made it.
We are trying to honor that tradition by making as much of our own gear as possible. Our courses in wood canvas canoe building, dog sled construction, paddle making, etc demonstrate our commitment to the craftsmanship of Maine guides.
We also regularly offer Wilderness First Aid and Open recert courses as we believe it is our professional responsibility as wilderness guides to keep first aid training current.
I just wanted to thank you again for a wonderful Allagash trip. I thoroughly enjoyed myself although I did feel a little like I should have done more. Old habits die hard, I guess. It was such a pleasure picking my way down the river, especially below the falls. I always looked forward to that area. What a crew you have. Jason and Mandy were great and you are a natural leader, showing both compassion and firmness when called for. I have admired what you and Kevin have accomplished for a long time and two trips with you just goes to show me why you had such success.
