I am a modern-day woodsman living the good life building birch bark canoes and traditional native style snowshoes and birch bark baskets.

I have been doing these crafts for over 30 years now and it has been a financial struggle the whole way.

what we really need to keep these types of skills/crafts alive is some kind of fund or grant that at least lets you have a decent living while doing it...
