Canada AM Gadgets
zoomI was on CTV's Canada AM Morning Show this morning doing my regular camp gadget demonstation.
Check the segment out on my web site http://www.kevincallan.com/media.htm
Here's a list of the items and where to get more information and prices. My favorite was the plaid canoe from Nova Craft.
