About the Product

Esker Axes and Saws are designed and manufactured in Canada using the best materials and production methods to ensure the functionality and durability to last a lifetime of service in the outdoors. Rigorously field tested. Meticulously manufactured.
Made from FR canvas and compliant with all Canadian and CPAI-84 regulations, Esker tents sleep 2- 6 people safely around a cozy wood stove. Sewn loops in the panels allow the use of a drying line, and the 10.10 oz 'army duck' cotton with double sewn flat felled seam construction ensures a robust structure resistant to wear and tear.
Esker Stoves feature nesting galvanized pipes and a stove box on Esker’s specially designed snow float legs for stabilizing the stove with branches or poles. All stove pipes stow inside the stove box and Esker legs fold up for light and easy transport.

Ideal for winter camping adventures on the move or for outdoorsmen needing a temporary base camp. All Esker winter tents feature sewn loops in the panels to allow for the use of a drying line, and are manufactured in Canada.

All Esker stoves come standard with a damper, lengths of galvanized pipe, and Esker’s snow float legs – which help to stabilize the stove on snow through the use of poles or branches.

Axes and Bucksaws

Designed and meticulously made in Canada in partnership with blacksmiths in Austria. Each hand-forged Esker Hatchet, Camp Axe, and Splitting Axe blends 400 years of expertise with Canadian woodwork and leather craftsmanship to create a premium tool built to last a lifetime. Also known as bow-saws, these bucksaws harken back to the days when a simple saw and some elbow grease was the essential staple tool out in the Canadian bush. Esker has taken traditional woods to design an improved tool with ergonomic rounded comfort grip handles, a quality Bahco 24: blade, and a collapsible construction for compact portability, making the Esker Bucksaw the new traditional style saw ready to tackle any camp cutting task.

Care Products

The new Care collection includes Blade Care, Leather Care, Handle Care and Wood Care, each developed with natural and non-toxic ingredients. From protecting an axe head between trips to conditioning a favourite leather sheath or bringing new life to a well-used paddle, Esker Care makes routine gear maintenance simple.

Snowshoes

Crafted with hardwood frames and traditional rawhide webbing, Esker snowshoes honour our Canadian heritage while helping travellers move confidently through forest, deep snow and open country. Each model is shaped for a specific style of winter travel, terrain and snow conditions. Available individually or as a kit with the Esker Traditional Leather Snowshoe Binding.

"Customers love the Esker tents and stoves. The tents are built to last and people love the white coloring, as it makes it bright inside the tent, even at night. They love how everything fits inside the stoves for transporting and how the tents and stoves pack up surprisingly small for their size."
