Our friend Brian is headed for a month-long trip in the rugged Wabakimi Provincial Park in Northern Ontario this summer. If you're unfamiliar with Wabakimi, it's one of the wildest backcountry playgrounds in Canada, typically involving a fly-in and/or fly-out, and it blends flatwater lakes with whitewater rivers. Brian needed a Dragonfly capable of mastering the route, so we built him a sturdy boat in Expedition Kevlar with Epoxy resin and Jeremy from Red Leaf Designs outfitted it with a custom cover. Safe travels, Brian!
