Dan Dueweke is a trail adopter with the North Country Trail Association and Little Traverse Conservancy. His interest in traditional tools began in the 1990s when he volunteered as a wilderness trail maintainer in Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park. Along the way he learned to file crosscut saws and has reconditioned many for the US Forest Service, National Park Service, and various trail crews around the country. He is a crosscut saw and axe instructor for the USFS, training a number of their sawyers and teaching classes on saw filing. Dan has also worked at Michigan’s Hartwick Pines state park in Grayling Michigan where he gave lectures and demonstrations on the tools and techniques employed by 19th century lumberjacks during the logging era. |

After the Storm: Clearing Trail in the BWCA Following the 2021 Tornado
Voyageur - Upstairs Sat 1:30pm-2:15pm
On October 11th, 2021 an EF-2 tornado ripped through the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and laid waste to a mile of the Border Route/North Country Trail (NCT). Trail closed, ye shall not pass. Knowing that the NCT would be sending in a wilderness crew to reopen the trail after ice out the following spring, Dan volunteered his time, experience, and tools for the job.
This presentation follows a joint NCT/USFS trail crew as it confronts stacks and jackstrawed piles of downed trees with only axes and crosscut saws (per Wilderness regulations) and finished the job during their four day work window.
