Building a Wood Stove for BWCA Winter Camping
The Paddle and Portage team traveled to Duluth to spend a (brutally) cold winter’s day in the shop of Brian “Muskrat” Maruska. The purpose of the site visit was to build a winter camping wood stove from scratch. “Muskrat,” having built upwards of 50 stoves over the years, was eager to share what he has learned with the P&P community.
Special thanks to Chad Nelson for organizing the meetup and donating a solo winter camping tent to the P&P arsenal of gear. Expect to see and hear more winter camping stories with both Chad and Brian in the years ahead. Video produced by M Baxley of @bearwitnessmedia and the P&P Team.
