1. Fur brigade

   Fur brigades were convoys of canoes and boats used to transport supplies, trading goods and furs in the North American fur trade industry. Much of it consisted of native fur trappers, most of whom were Métis, and fur traders who traveled between their home trading posts and a larger Hudson's Bay Company or Northwest Company post in order to supply the inland post with goods and supply the coastal post with furs.Travel was usually done on the rivers by canoe or, in certain prairie situations, by horse. For example, they might travel to Hudson Bay or James Bay from their inland home territories. This pattern was most prevalent during the early 19th century. Canoes were eventually replaced by York boats because they were more economically and physically efficient.

1. Fur brigade

   The fur brigades were convoys of canoes, dog sleds or horses used to transport supplies, trading goods and furs in the fur trade industry. Much of it consisted of natives, fur trappers and fur traders who traveled between their home trading posts and a larger Hudson's Bay Company or Northwest Company post in order to supply the inland post with goods and supply the coastal post with furs. Travel was usually done on the rivers by canoe or, in certain prairie situations, by horse. For example, they might travel to Hudson Bay or James Bay from their inland home territories. This pattern was most prevalent during the early 19th century. One common fur brigade was by canoe, conducted by voyageurs or others. Downstream loads consisting mainly of furs. Upstream loads consisted of trading goods and the ammunition, traps and various other supplies needed for the next winters trapping season. These brigades were usually an annual event. By the 1820s the Hudson's Bay company had several bridages traveling distinct routes. Each of these brigades had a nickname, supposedly derived from their dietary habits. The Red River "tripmen" were called the "Taureaux", named after the pemmican made from and older bull bison. The Portage la Loche brigade's tripmen were called the "Poissons-blancs" after a tough, nearly-inedible fish, and the Saskatchewan brigade the "Blaireaux". The brigades were intensely rivalous and would frequently stage fistfights between their "champions" to defend the brigade's honour.
