Dude has got a thing for goose: time to throw on a parka, hunt one down, and cook it in a beautiful enameled cast iron pot.***This is the best Canadian axe you'll ever need! I gave one to Martin Picard once and he sent me a picture of him opening up Champagne at 9 AM with it. ($199) Buy Now ›Brian Richer of Castor Design (and my partner) gave me this knife years ago when I worked at OddFellows. It was the only knife I used for years. Boning, chopping, filleting, slicing—it really could do anything. It was my first carbon steel knife, and now I only use carbon steel knives. ($33) Buy Now ›The best parka Canada can offer, period! For hunting venison in the deep woods of Quebec or ice-fishing in Newfoundland, this is the one and only! (From $795) Buy Now ›My favourite pots to use. I own four of these.
