PATCHES!!!!!! I got the final details worked out with Adam today. I will get the order placed ASAP. They will be 3.5" round, 100% embroidered, with iron-on backing. Final pricing will be posted as soon as I check costs at the Post Office.

Watch out for that rock!!!........ Oooo.... That's going to leave a mark...
Unfortunately, neither of us will be at 'copia. The production time is about 2 weeks, so we're looking at mid March. The picture of them is in PDF format, and so far I haven't been able to figure out how to make it show up on here. If I get that straightened out, I'll post it. The price has been set at $5 plus postage. I won't have that piece until Monday. When I get that I will post info about placing your orders. Thanks for your patience.
Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

I hope you'll be bringing plenty to Mn. WingNight.
They look great! Thanks for putting all the legwork into this. I'll take four.

Been off the board for a while, and the first thing I see when I get back, PATCHES. Thanks adam and bellolake, and they really look cool! If you ordered enough and I'm not being a pig, I'd like six please.
OK, here we go. Without knowing how much the patches will weigh it was hard to try and pin down accurate postage costs, so I made a decision all by myself! Since it appears that most of you will be ordering multiples, I settled on $1.25 for shipping. Some may be more, some less, but I thought it was a good compromise. Those that are more will be my treat, those less provide a little more to support the website. So the bottom line is $5 per patch plus $1.25. Now we come to the important part. PLEASE DON'T SEND ANY MONEY NOW!!! I want to wait to start taking orders until I have a confirmed delivery date. As soon as I get that, I will post the info you need to get your orders in. You've been very patient so far, we're almost there.
Sorry, 'copia is a definite no. I talked to the manufacturer today and the 3rd week in March looks likely. My initial order is for 300, so there should be enough to meet demand for a while. We could probably turn this into another song thread to pass the time. "Anticipation"
I'm going to back my request down to 4 (although I still want more) and wait for the second order. Somehow I just don't think you ordered enough; I hope I'm wrong so that everyone who wants them gets them. Anticipation.... rats.
The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!

If you aren't going to have enough to go around, feel free to knock my request of four down to two so that someone else can get a couple as well. Like Coriolis, I can wait for the next order to get some more. Thanks again!

Can we get those too? I would love to have a Portage Police patch!! Where do I order those? " I was bored one night and searching different canoe related items on ebay. I searched 'portage' and it popped up. Of course I had to have it! It's amazing how many states have at least one town called Portage.

Thanks, I will check into that - if you have any extras you are willing to part with - let me know.
OK folks. Here we go!! I don't have the patches in my hot little hands yet, but they should be here in a week or so I hope. If you want to start sending orders, I'm ready to take them. I won't cash any checks until I have the patches in hand.
If you want to send cash, that's great, but sending cash through the mail is always a calculated risk. I'm fine with personal checks as long as they're made out of paper.
$5 per patch plus $1.25 for shipping.

Mine came from further than Kanoes's, So I get bonus points. :P. And C comes before D, K, and T.
Anderson's always been first in my book Chuck Baby!
Know why there are so many Anderson's in the phone book?
They all have telephones! ;)

Thanks, dprochef, for bumping this back up. I do in fact have patches, lots of patches! $5 per patch + $1.25 per order for S&H. Cash or check, your option. Remember, all the proceeds after I recouped my expenses are going to support this site. Keep those orders coming!!

bellolake, I am getting ready to order 5 of the patches. Before I mail the order I wanted to ask if you also have the BWCA.com canoe stickers that I've seen around?

It sounds like you have enough left but I want to double check before I send a check. I would like one patch, please let me know if that will be possible.
Ok, check is all made up and in the envelope. Just need to remember to drop it off at the post office on my way to work tomorrow. Just the one for me I'm 'fraid.
