Last weekend Dec. 14-16, 2018, I walked into the Lure basecamp (approx. 6km) for a weekend moccasin-making workshop. This is the third pair of moccasins I have made with Lure, but by far the best overall experience!…. due mainly to where we were making the moccasins – in the wilderness of the La Cloche Mountains… with the growing expectation that I would wear them for the walk out! The walk in was enjoyable with numerous animal tracks and the growing sense that I was travelling deeper into the wilderness. The workshop was extremely well facilitated by Kielyn, and she also managed to feed us and entertain us with numerous stories from expeditions and off-grid living. The cozy atmosphere and ambience of sewing my puckers by a wood fire on a large home-made wood table over-looking “Golden Pond” made the experience one I will remember for a life-time. And then by Sunday at 2pm, our entire group was walking out on the trail proudly wearing our newly constructed moccasins! Thank you Kielyn and Adam for a wonderful workshop and unique living experience. I would highly recommend the “Lure Basecamp Workshop Option” to anyone!
