Not only is Emma a gourmet Trangia cook, but she is also really good at puns! What do you think - can you give her a run? "This may be cheesier than that tortellini, but I’m SNOW excited for the winter adventures that are cooking up! This year I’m truly grateful for this season(ing) hah okay, okay, I’ll stop. " _ Emma Eisses, NS

SNEAK PREVIEW! The 2021 Helle Knives LTD knife is named "Morgon" meaning Morning in Norwegian, celebrating 2021 as a year of new beginnings. More details to come!

Tip for cold weather running: Layer for the warmth you need during your run, not for the warmth you need while standing around. For your base layer - choose a snug fit next to your skin. Never use cotton - go with a merino wool. Pair your base layer with an outer shell for cooler weather , then add a good mid-layer as temperatures drop. Woolpower has a great collection of base and mid-layers to choose from. Find a retailer near you: https://www.youngandmackenzie.ca/dealers/woolpower/

Thanksgiving traditions... Kupilka is an old name, from times way back. Even in ancient times it was a tradition to sit around the fire and drink from a small cup. Sometimes a hot drink, sometimes something sweeter. When evening came, your own Kupilka was like your best friend; it signalled a time to listen to stories, to the waves on the lake and the trees in the forest. Have a great Thanksgiving weekend!

Your day just becomes better with a coffee and a Helle Knives Kletten K by your side. #everydaycarry Now available at select retailers across Canada! (Photo Credit: @solitary_man - Instagram)

NEW!! Small, dark and handsome! The Helle Knives Kletten K is coming to a Canadian retailer near you! The "K" stands for Kebony. Kebony is a Norwegian innovation whereby wood is stabilized using waste biomass, making traditional woods denser and darker in the same process. The scales on the new Kletten K are made from kebonized maple which leaves the patterning of the maple intact while strengthening the already dense structure of the maple further.
