A few years ago I purchased a Sno-Shu chair by Native Designs (aka Reginald Lee) based out of Westport Island, Maine. I am a real sucker for traditional snowshoes and thus, I love snowshoe furniture. My favorite part about the Sno-Shu chair is that it folds up for easy storage and transport.
If you feel like going with traditional rawhide lacing have a look at Iverson's furniture. Twice as expensive but more involved design-wise. I definitely see an Iverson log holder in my future. Another option would be to scour eBay and tag sales for a renowned Tubbs Sno Shu chair -- which is most likely the inspiration for the name of Native Designs' chair. Check out the following drool-worthy photos (lifted from eBay) of a Tubbs folding Sno Shu chair.
For me Thanksgiving equates to road races. Unfortunately, I had to sit out this year due to a nagging knee injury (I need to stay healthy for winter pursuits). Hopefully everyone who raced Thursday morning had great times, beat their personal best, got high and most importantly had fun.
Check out The Creak of Boots Trading Post where I have some traditional outdoor gear for sale (and some modern gear). With the holidays quickly approaching you may find just the right gift. Let me know if you have any questions.
The following is a short film about John Coffer living simply on 50 acres of land outside of Dundee, NY. Mr. Coffer spends his days tending to his farm and pursuing his hobby of tin-type photography. This is part of a series of short films titled This Must Be The Place, which is produced by Lost & Found Films.

The Old Man of the Lake is a 30' hemlock tree stump floating vertically in Crater Lake. Joseph S. Diller first discovered the stump in 1896 making it over a century old. An article which appeared in the 1938 volume of Nature Notes from Crater Lake documented that the Old Man rides the winds and currents to travel the lake's entire surface area and can cover almost four miles in a single day. Read more about the Old Man here.
That sure is some gorgeous time-lapse photography. Check out more work by Ben Canales at The Star Trail and Vimeo.
Dawn Hamilton, Tom Rankin and some hiking friends were sitting around drinking beer right after a hike in the Catskills. Dawn said, "Hey, there should be a Patch for going to all the Brewpubs in New York State, and doing a hike somewhere nearby!" Thus, Views and Brews was born. Chapters can be found in the following states: New York, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New Jersey, West Virginia, Massachusetts, Maine, Delaware, Quebec and Pennsylvania. I will be working towards that CT patch this winter. If your state doesn't have a chapter contact Tom and Dawn.
