Why Wilderness

Canoeing in the Boundary Waters of Northern Minnesota, I often find myself reflecting on what wilderness means to me and why I choose to spend so much time in it.
A place separated from the unyielding pace of civilization, a place of solitude and silence, the B.W.C.A. is a wilderness often in the crosshairs of the conservation effort. It’s all this and more that makes the Boundary Waters so special to me. It’s a wild place that continues to draw me back, reminding me why it’s so important to have spaces like this - wild places that cause us to reflect on what’s important and help us connect with the deeper parts of ourselves.

I have a cabin close to the BWCA and have made more trips than I can count to the Wilderness. You have captioned how I feel about it. Thanks so much.

Can’t lie, I’m a little jealous you have a cabin so close :) That’s a dream of mine some day! Glad you enjoyed the video. The BWCA holds a special place in my heart and I love meeting others who share the same love for it. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for subscribing! I really appreciate it! We were in the Boundary Waters in Minnesota. We paddled a loop starting at Moose Lake and spent a good amount of time on Knife Lake. If you’re curious about the whole route I’d be happy to share it!
