I feel your pain, a few years ago I accidentally traded my Bending Branches bent shaft for a Winona bent shaft at Seagull (or is it Sea Gull outfitters Ha). The Winona is a nice paddle but I wish a I had my BB back!

Sorry man. Sometimes losing items of such personal endearment can be huge loss.
I hope it finds you again.
I bought an expensive flashlight (at the time) in 1995 for my job. It has been with me every day since except for a few times it was hopelessly lost only to find me again. A stupid flashlight. It’s my most cherished work tool. Yes stupid but after all these years, it means everything to me.

I sure hope someone finds it for you. Keep your eye on the BWCA group in Facebook as well as the lost and found thread on here. Maybe it will turn up. I know I would be heartbroken if I lost the Clement paddle that I used to paddle to Hudson Bay.

I feel for you. I remember leaving my favorite bush hat hanging on a low tree limb during lunch stop at a portage landing on the Pikitigushi Rv. I remember exactly where I left it and it is likely still there since that route has nothing to recommend it and I doubt anyone would willingly choose to travel it.

Lost my Bending Branches straight 52 inch paddle. Location: Slim Lake landing, Slim Lake parking lot, Echo Trail, Ely ???. Red tip (for crossing the Height of Land, worn gold paint on shaft (for carrying the Grand Portage). Would swap for similar unmarked paddle.

I’ve got old Nordic skis that I could part with without hesitation, some of my paddles, for some reason have sentimental value. I also have a 70s vintage clemant that i prize because it went with me on several significant canoe trips. One was on the caniapiscau river where we ended at a Inuit village on the Arctic coast. Same paddle went on many wabakimi trips. One of those trips involved the pikitigushi river, the river from hell. At the time of the trip we had absolutely no idea of the river conditions, just info from the maps
