Among the stories in this latest edition is one by Nick Offerman describing his involvement with Bear Mountain and the building of Huckleberry.

About the Film (Digital Download)

“Fine Woodstrip Canoe Building” by Nick Offerman & Jimmy Diresta

Nick was sequestered in New York City for a spell, so naturally, he decided to build a couple of canoes by hand. After reading Canoecraft he called up Bear Mountain Boats to purchase some plans–before he knew it he had been enlisted into producing an instructional video as a companion to the Canoecraft visual guide. In this video, with the help of the talented Jimmy Diresta behind camera, Nick shows how just about anyone with enough time and enough tiny clamps can build a beautiful cedar strip canoe in their own garage.

  • Format: Digital .mp4 download
  • Running Time: 136 minutes

The digital version of this video is provided as two zipped files that contains 24 .mp4 segments detailing each step of the building process. This format is supported by most devices.

NOTE: iOS users will require a separate app to download, unzip, and view these files. We recommend Documents by Readdle as a free, user-friendly, and reliable option.
