Most large animals of the boreal forest (moose, bear, wolves, coyotes) have no interest in encountering humans, and given enough warning, are happy to get out of the way. A good set of bells lets everyone know you’re coming – especially when travelling solo, or after long portages when it’s easy to walk quietly, and neglect to keep noise levels up. Bells are hand made in Ontario using veg tanned leather and copper bells. The adjustable strap can go around ankles when walking, or can be attached to hiking or canoe packs.
