Delivery to the Cabin | Road Trip and Factory Tour
Рет қаралды 151,077
Күн бұрынThis is my first delivery to the cabin. Follow me into "town" to tour the Swift Canoe factory and to see how my new canoe was built. This canoe is a replacement for two canoes that I sold or traded away.
Thanks for watching!

It's wonderful to see a small business pride themselves in design and production. You can see their love for detail and quality. Each canoe would be individually unique, a reflection of who made it, unlike anything mass produced. These folks are artisans. No doubt about it. Thanks for sharing Shawn. God bless all those that have stepped "out of the mold", believed in themselves and strived for perfection.

This video made me miss paddling! Joined a paddling club on the west side of the island a few years back. We practiced 3 days a week to prepare for races throughout the entire season, and for the Regattas. So much fun! I was in the best shape of my life. Paddling works every part of your body. Although this type of canoeing is different from Outrigger canoe racing, it's a wonderful sport! This was a cool video Shawn, thank you!

Nice to see a family run business that excels in their craft, and has a worldwide reputation for quality. That road you live on is what we call "Rustic" here in Wisconsin - I grew up on a road like that, and my folks retired to a place in northern Wisconsin near Phillips, that was on a Rustic Road, and then to New Mexico with the same type of road, (that road went through a state forest before they got to the private land that they and others resided on.) Some of the residents made sure that the road was plowed out to the highway, about 4 miles, anytime it snowed over 4 inches. As always, stay safe. Hi, Cali (from Gaspar, an admirer)

Nice canoe, thumbs up ! I've had canoes for 40 plus years, wood, fiberglass, plastic and aluminum. I have 2, 17' Grumman Aluminum now. One is a double ender, the other is a flat back for a motor. I modified the Flat Back quite heavily by removing the front seat and putting a very low beach chair and 12'' back from the original and a storage shelf in front of it, a beer holder of course. The rear seat is a lightweight boat seat with a fold up back for comfort and mounted very low. Behind the rear seat, is a storage section with a lid that folds up. I beefed up the transom to withstand twice the HP from 5 to 10HP. Every mod was made from aluminum and stainless rivets. She's a little heavy, around 87lbs but with 2 people and a 10hp, she'll do around 12mph and being the thicker aluminum, I can smash into things and never worry, I hope. lol !

Second best thing to seeing a canoe on a lake is seeing a canoe on a rack headed to a lake. I used to paddle a two person sitting backwards in the bow with kayak paddle and canoe paddle for backup. It paddled and turned like a barge but super stable and easy to portage. I found some solos too tippy. My favorite was a canoe kayak hybrid for paddling but not for portaging. It rode the waves like a dream, fast and highly responsive. I look forward to seeing this one when the hard water melts. Would love to find a hybrid that is easy to portage.

Swift has made you an absolutely beautiful canoe for you Shawn. Being able to see the manufacturing process would be very cool to see and the fact that they worked with you to tweak what you were after is not something you would get from a large manufacturer. They also fit in with your desire to try and shop local having them right here in the Muskoka’s.

Hey Sean I love your videos, I believe I am almost up to date. I'm a bit of a bushcrafter. I was a chef over 20 years. Here is a little canning tip. Instead of plain boiling your meat in the pressure canner. Try filling the Dutch oven with a flavorful stew or soup. Then pressure can to Finnish the cooking process. Ready to eat out of the jar if need be.

Shawn I've had many different canoes in my lifetime. Fibrglass, poloy, wood, Kevlar. My old woodsman 18' is a great tripper but too big for two unless I take a long trip. It handles well and manuevures well in response but when weighed down is sluggish against headwind. Thinking sail!

Thanks for sharing this with me. It was very informative. I learned a lot about canoes & their different uses. From what I gathered it weighs 34 lbs.......not a lot of weight considering the weight you carry around as if it were nothing with the logs. LOL Thanks again for sharing with us.
