GREAT KNOWLEDGE AND INSIGHT THANK YOU SIR CLASSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Thanks for the video, brought back fond memories. Have stayed in all of her cabins at least once-both pre and post 1964. Cap (her father) would be up there with her in the summer (until he passed) and I believe was in his 90s then, and still fishing. Glad to see her legacy lives on. Another character of that area I only remember as Pete, who we would always visit.
I'm from England and MN blew me away. Like the Lake District only flat. Scary storm though.
I was in that storm. We were on Canoe lake.
Even for a 20 year veteran, there are things I’ve learned by watching this. Great video.
Also the mosquitoes do greet you at the car and the toilet will be a test of speed and efficiency.
I know this is an old video, but for the person asking about iPhone cases and anyone else wondering now... iPhones and many of the Android phones (Samsung, other big brands) are normally water resistant all on their own. Sure, older models and cheaper models aren't, but all of the iPhones since iPhone 11 are rated for 30 minutes at depths up to 6 meters (approx 20 ft) so what you want is less a case to keep it from getting wet and more something that will keep it afloat so you can retrieve it. All claims of water resistance are void if the phone is damaged though.
what's that x above
I would recommend an addition to the fishing tackle dozen quarter ounce jig heads and two dozen twister tail grubs
How do I get the packing list?
Amazing resources!! Thank you so much for sharing your learned experiences and research. Absolutely invaluable.
What is wrong with harvesting pike and bass at reasonable sizes
awesome on the wolves
Oh i do love a good distraction from job daydreaming about my next boundary waters trip.
Great stuff!
thanks for sharing your knowledge Stu !!
If you learned anything from that video you should stay home.
Agreed... Glampers need to stick to Fall Lake.
Garmin mini, Spot, or Zoleo worth their weight in gold... May also prevent folks from getting lost like the couple airlifted after being lost for 2 weeks. Thanks for a great interview.
Thank you Chris.
Lots of gold on the surface on the west end of the holy waters.
This is great, keep up the great work and save the boundary waters!!!
Peanut butter with Mac Cheese, how dare you sir!
I encourage you to read "Woodswoman" written by Anne LaBastille. I think you'll enjoy it.
Spam? Eeewwwwww.
Is this live?
Not sure why you're confusing people and discussing a "J" stroke while demonstrating a stern pry. The pry changes the flow of the water, making for a stroke that ends up acting a bit like a brake; which hinders your forward movement.
This is a beautiful plea for human rights. Clean water, land and lives! Thank you everyone. Thank you for FriendsOfTheBWCA
where did you find the 16 day food pack list? would be interested in reading into it.
Then if the mining for these elements always bad, then it is fine to mine in Chile and elsewhere? Since they dont have as much rain, then it is fine there? "Prove it first" has merits, a plan for dealing with waste byproduct, and to have a plan for clean up and emergency response mechanisms in place.... But this appears to be another block for Minnesota mineral mining... Even though you all use hundreds of pounds of copper used in your daily life.... What is your "Copper footprint" if it is always unsafe? And what is your "Nickle footprint" ..... Lets not be hypocrites.....
Yay Claire! Beautiful, heartfelt, inspiring.
We need to convert the whole trucking industry into EVs with nickel batteries.
For my solo trips I always carry a Spot locator. I always scope a campsite for "safe" places in case of a storm, especially a large boulder that I can tuck up against to help shield me from falling trees. I wear my PFD for extra protection and have my Spot mounted on it so it is in easy reach. I also tie my canoe to big trees when I make camp. Looking forward to reading your book.
Ran into Izze and the crew of volunteers at the Bell Museum yesterday! What a great representative of the Friends of the Boundary Waters!
Hell yeah! Prove it first!!
💥Excellent video. Let's promote & market & GET THIS VIDEO out EVERYWHERE❗️💪
Ive had a lot of bwca trips. Many went perfectly, many were beautiful. I have had a few trips not go well, keeping in mind that anything can happen i have always carried the mantra "embrace the suck". Its amazing how this mantra can change your perspective when it starts to rain or break your fishing line. Any little setback i accept as a challenge.
Emily, wondering if you could comment on how you approach using glide wax on your cross country skis at temperatures below zero Fahrenheit. I find that at those temperatures, whatever I put on winds up seriously impeding the glide. Wondering what your thoughts are. Thanks! Bill
This guy is racist against White people. He is Jewish.

Watching in anticipation for a February trip to the boundary waters!
I appreciate you so much! You have touched my heart with Henry Meloux. About 20 years ago I fell in love with the work of an Ojibwe artist named Benjamin Chee Chee. It is wonderful to read about the life of the Obibwe people in Minnesota. Thank you.
Hi! Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. Wonderful guest. RE replacement inserts has he checked if mukluk ones fit? Surplus stores sell them for about $13, probably way more affordable than Sorrel would be able to offer them these days. Best winter adventures to you all. 💙❄️
Wonderful ,, migwetch.
Today I read the maziina'igan "Ojibwe Sky Star Map Constellation Guide" and Carl Gawboy was one of its authors/contributors. I've often wondered if the various clans came about due to sky views at time of birth, kind of like Euro-Astrologer Zodiac Signs. Another interesting POV is from a book about the Incas' constellations (I forgot the name of it). Too bad we no longer "see" the night sky. Miigwech for this video.
