After pushing it pretty hard for the last few days we found ourselves really enjoying the natural beauty of Ottertrack Lake. With the sun slowly dipping behind the horizon and a near full moon brightening the evening sky Matt and I head out for an evening paddle. The water was like glass as we listened to the loons echoing off the surrounding trees and cliffs. Matt was doing a little fishing along the edge of the lake as we paddled along. Even now I can still remember the sound of the paddle dip into the water as we glided around Ottertrack.

×With snow falling from the skies we step away from the car park and into the BWCAW. Sleds loaded down with tents, stoves, food and warm gear bite into our chest as the tow line go taunt. We are headed in for a weekend of winter camping. Five guys two tents and enough bacon to keep us warm on the frigid nights and cool days. Join us as we strap on the snowshoes and spend a weekend in the frozen Boundary Waters Canoe Area.…
On a nice sunny day we leave our camp on Knife Lake traveling east along the boarder into Ottertrack Lake. We wind our way down this narrow lake with high cliffs on our northern flank. At our new camp we do a little swimming before cooking up some fish for dinner. What a great day in the Boundary Waters.…
We continue our way North East from Vera portaging our way into Knife Lake. With crystal clear waters and a fresh breeze blowing in our face we work our way to the North Arm of Knife Lake where we camp for the night.
After a winter of frozen lakes and trees covered in snow we find ourselves at the Moose Lake entry point for our first trip of the summer. The skies are mostly cloudy and the days are just starting to warm up. The temps are just perfect for paddling in the BWCAW. I am joined on this trip by Jesse, Jim, and Glenn who are all great guys to camp with. Join us as we take our first paddle strokes and portages of the spring.…
On a beautiful early April day with the ice freshly melted from the lakes Erin and I head into the BWCAW. Our destination for this trip is the easily accessible Little Bass Lake just one portage away from North Hegman Lake. The Sun shining through the trees made for a serene portage through the woods.…
If you venture out around 5:00 AM near the end of April on Lake Vermilion you will find some exquisite sunrises. Here is one from April 27, 2012.
After a foot of snow pounced on us out of nowhere we found ourselves on a calm lake with the sun setting in a winter wonderland. The mirror like lake made breathtaking views of the lake shore. Jim and I go for an evening paddle amidst our spring snowset.
March showed up with extremely warm temperatures for the season which quickly removed what little snow we had accumulated over the short winter. In the last couple of days the ice has begun to pull away from the shoreline opening up the opportunity for an early paddle. The first paddle of the spring is always a favorite time even if its only for 10 or so minutes. We had a an amazing sunshine filled day giving the ice a shimmery reflection.…
Our loop out of the Little Indian Sioux entry point is coming to an end. After a heavy rain throughout the night we woke to sunny skies and calm waters. Looking at the maps we find a day filled with portaging ahead of us. With over 800 rods of portaging we knew our shoulders would be ready for some relaxation on Lynx lake which would be our destination for the day. Paddling along the way we encounter a couple of loons showing off as well as a serene beaver flooded portage.…

16:16Winter is a great time to get out and enjoy a host of winter sports. Everything from ice fishing to winter camping get you out of the house and into the crisp fresh air. Many of these winter activities involve frozen bodies of water. It doesn't matter if your riding on a snowmobile, gliding along on skies, or crunching by on snowshoes, crossing ice covered water ways need to hold your full respect. It can happen in an instant and without any warning. You could find yourself plunging into the frigid water below the ices surface. Now this doesn't have to be a death sentence, however depending on your location and how well you are prepared for such an event the end result can vary greatly. Glen Hooper from Northwest Ontario is an avid winter enthusiast and a writer for winter trekking.com. He spends a lot of time traversing the rugged Canadian terrain in both summer and winter. The prospect of falling through the ice is something he takes very seriously and has put a lot of forethought into what he needs to survive such and ordeal. Join me as I visit with Glen on what he has readied to aid in increasing his survival skills after a plunge into frigid waters.…

15:21After leaving behind the dead moose carcasse in Thumb Lake we paddle through fresh air under sunny skies. The wind always seems to follow us with a gental push from behind helping ease the day of paddling. We encounter a couple of beaver dams and a few mergansers as we paddle our way to Ge-be-on-e-quet Lake.…
After a beautiful night camped out on Steep Lake we awake to sunny skies and a light breeze. Continuing our loop out of the Little Indian Sioux River we head North East working our way through Little Bear Track Lake, Bear Track Lake, and into Thumb Lake. Along the way we bump into a snake, a turtle, and what remained of a dead moose.…
We continue our journey north out of Little Loon Lake with the clouds flying by overhead. The warmth of the sun soaks into our bodies as we paddle across open waters. The portages have been both adventurous and serene. We are nearing the end of a full day of paddling and portaging and our bodies are ready for a break. With this being our first trip of the season our muscles are beginning to long for a relaxing evening.…
Continuing our trip we leave the Devils Cascade and Lower Pauness and work our way North West towards Loon Lake. We have a gentle tail wind pushing us across the lakes while the warm sun shined down upon us. The fresh air and clean water engulfed our senses. A great time in the Boundary Water Canoe Area.…
Our first paddling trip of 2011 we head into the Little Indian Sioux entry point on a 5 day trip. There is a steady wind blowing and the clouds are zipping by overhead. We paddle North along the river taking a beautiful portage along a small rapids. We catch a glimpse of a couple of mallard ducks and a bald eagle. The episode comes to a close as we portage from Upper Pauness into Lower Pauness.…
The eastern edge of the Boundary Waters is an amazing area. With high cliffs and deep lakes this rugged terrain offers up some amazing scenery. Camped on the western end of Pine lake we wake up to a beautiful blue sky day with a stiff breeze. We had heard of a waterfall located at the western end of Pine lake and we set out to find it. In his episode we try to give you a first person experience of tracking down these falls. We hope you enjoy the experience and the falls.…
On a stormy morning we paddle West out of Mountain lake to a steep portage heading south. We encounter some heavy rain and lightening as thunder rolls across the the lakes. We hunker down at a campsite waiting for the storm to subside and then continue on our way to Pine Lake. Just North of Pine Lake we come across a cow moose and her calf. The two are standing at the edge of a lake with a picturesque woodland backdrop. It was great to see our first moose in the BWCAW.…
Campsites come in every shape size and location in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Some have stunning views over calm waters, some are tucked away beneath swaying pines. Selecting the perfect campsite can mean the difference between a restful night and one where you can't wait to find a new place to call home.…
With a nice tail wind we continue our way along the Voyagers Highway. Leaving North Fowl Lake we portage through thick vegetation and a few mosquitoes. Back on the water we come across a couple of loons swimming on the horizon. One puts on a bit of a show as it takes a bath. We finish up the day in Mountain lake enjoying a relaxing cup of tea and watching the sun disappear behind the trees.…
For those of you new to camping and maybe even for you veterans out there, we have put together this little howto video showing the basic principles behind setting up a tent. Now there are a wide variety of tents out there and each have their own specific way to be set up. Many tents however follow the same basic steps. Here are a few things we take into consideration when setting up our tent. First off our tent is a self standing tent which means it doesn't require tent stakes to stay upright. There are tents on the market that do require stakes, so when shopping for a tent keep this in mind. One advantage to having a tent that doesn't require stakes is if you are camping in an area that is very rocky, or the ground is extremely firm, you may not be able to put in stakes at every campsite. With a self standing tent you will still be able to camp in these locations without too much trouble barring any crazy winds. The first thing we look for when choosing a tenting location is how flat the surface is, and if there are rocks or roots sticking up that might be painful to sleep on during the night. We try to find areas that are as smooth as possible. If there is a slant to the ground we plan on sleeping on we try to position our on the slant so our heads and feet are lined up with the slant. This way if any sliding occurs during the night you will slide into the end of the tent instead of into your fellow campers. After the tent has been assembled and the rain fly has been put on, we do a quick check on the edges to ensure our ground cloth isn't sticking out anywhere. If the ground cloth is visible any rain that does fall on it will be taken right under your tent and may lead to a wet night for sleeping. We hope you've found this episode helpful. If you have any added ideas, or questions, please post them in the comment section below. Thanks for watching.…
On a beautiful sunny day we find ourselves back at the John Lake entry point. A light breeze is blowing and the crystal clear waters are beckoning. Jim and I begin our trip along the Border Route much like we had the year before. Traveling along the Royal River you are surrounded by cliffs and lush vegetation. The wild rice in some areas fills the horizon. Join us as we paddle from John Lake to North Fowl Lake.…
Paddling back out of the Boundary Waters on the Nina Moose River we bump into Rick and a beautifully hand made wood strip kayak. We visit with Rick about building kayaks.
On a calm summer day in the Boundary Waters we decided to try our luck at catching some lunch. Fishing in the bays of Lac La Croix has provided us with some great experiences over the years. On this particular trip we decided to fish in a little bay just North of Never Fail Bay. We were fishing with spoons and caught both Walleye and Northern Pike. It was a great couple hours of fishing that led to a delicious lunch. Jim shows us how to clean Walleye, and Andy gives us the step by step on preparing a nice shore lunch. We hope you enjoy this episode of fishing in the BWCAW.…
Winter is upon us and it seems its already over half way done. If you've been out ice fishing I hope you've been successful and enjoyed the time outdoors. For those of you who haven't been out ice fishing before we've put together this little HOW TO video showing you the basic steps in setting up a Tip-Up. This is a great way to set a line through the ice and still have the opportunity to move around instead of being tied down to your fishing hole. Check the regulations in you area because you may be able to have more than one line in the water using this method. We hope you find this video helpful and get the opportunity to catch some nice fish this winter.…
The Stewart River entry point starts you out with over a 400 rod portage. This will get your blood pumping just in time to start your paddle up the river. We are paddling under sunny skies with a nice breeze. Canoeing in the BWCA doesn't get much better.
Our July trip is coming to a close as we paddle towards the East end of Crooked lake. The narrow passageways make for a very scenic paddle catching glimpses of wood ducks, loons, eagles, and even a mink. The episode comes to a close with the magnificent cliffs that tower over the end of the lake.
Working our way across the 300 rod portage heading north out of Gun Lake we came across a group of people working for the Minnesota Conservation Corps. They were a trail maintenance crew out rebuilding the portage. If your looking for a great summer gig check them out at www.conservationcorps.org.
The temps are in the upper 20s and the sun is shining. With a three day weekend we head into Ramshead Lake. We catch some nice fish and spend the weekend enjoying the great weather.
We've teamed up with BlackRiverSleds.com to bring you our next HOWTO video. In this episode we'll take you through step by step in assembling a SnowWalker Toboggan. We are using a prepped blank sled bottom, but prepare the wooden cross pieces ourselves. If you are building one of these sled kits feel free to send questions to bwcacastfans@gmail.com.…
With storm clouds chasing us north we paddle across Boot Lake. Waiting out a heavy rain on the portage between Boot and Fairy Lake we emerged on the other side to find sunny skies again. We continue north through Gun Lake and over the 300 rod portage. In the series of rivers and lakes that get you on into Friday bay on Crooked Lake we encounter a river otter and the unique pitcher plant. Join us as we paddle our way to Friday Bay.…
Northern Pike are one of the most commonly caught fish in Northern Minnesota. Weather your fishing for them or walleye, odds are you'll be pulling one in from time to time. Northerns can get quite big and make for a great meal when canoeing in the wilderness. One draw back to these slimy fish are a strip of bones embedded in the meat of the fillet called y-bones. Some people leave them in and deal with picking them out while eating them. There is a way however to remove the y-bones while saving most of the meat. Jim shows you HowTo remove the y-bones on a Northern Pike.…
Looking for a way to communicate with the outside world when on a canoe trip in the wilderness? Some people bring them along for emergencies, others to touch base with the friends and family during their trip. Others may have a situation where they need to be contacted during their trip. Whatever your reason may be a Satellite Phone is the best way to have this option when in the wilderness. Here's how to use a "satphone".…
We only bring you this HowTo because it was requested by one of our viewers. After getting the initial chuckle out of the request we got to thinking that this is one aspect of camping in the BWCACW that may not really get covered when explaining what to expect to a first time BWCAW camper. We tried to have a little fun while making this episode, I hope we don't offend anyone and that you find the humor in our shooting techniques. Here's HowTo use a latrine.…
Have you ever wanted to learn how to start a fire with flint and steel? Matches aren't always reliable when in the back country. As soon as they get wet they become useless. Not to say flint and steel is a fool proof option, but its a good skill set to have and something you can throw in your pack "just in case". Glenn walks you through the steps of creating a birds nest and getting that perfect spark to create a nice campfire.…
One of the most important things to think of when out in the wilderness is making sure you have clean water to drink. As our environment continues to become more polluted and not to mention the ever ready giardiasis looking to invade your lower intestines, having a good water filter is a must. There are a lot of water filters on the market so its important to find one you like using. We aren't supporting a specific brand in this episode, but do talk about the different options you have when picking out your next water filter. Here's how to filter water.…
Another cooking tip from Jim. How to save money by making your own dry meals. Dehydrated hamburger is the first step in making lightweight delicious meals for out in the wilderness. This is something we have used over the years and feel like we have not only saved a ton of money, but also felt like our meals may have been a little more tasty. If you look at the cost of freeze dried meals in camping stores these days and feel like they are a bit spendy hopefully this video will help you on your way to keep a few dollars in your pocket on your next trip into the wilderness.…
Have you ever heard the frightening sound of a rock scraping the bottom of your canoe only to see water begin to appear in the bottom of your boat throughout the rest of your trip? Well we sure have over the years!! In this episode of BWCACAST we'll show you how to patch up those holes with a little fiber glass. Its really not as hard as you'd think and with this step by step guide you'll be patching up your own canoe in no time. Jim walks you through cleaning the area, prepping the patch location, mixing the resin and applying the patch. We hope you find this episode helpful throughout your years of canoeing.…
Bent shaft paddles provide more power and efficiency while paddling your canoe. Some people love them while others prefer the standard strait shaft paddle. Some don't like how the bent shaft paddle preform when steering the canoe from the stern. We at BWCACAST.com love to use bent shaft paddles both when paddling in the bow and when paddling in the stern. The design allows you to utilize more of your power being delivered in a manner that propels your canoe forward through more of your paddle stoke. Jim shows you some quick tips on how to make sure your using the bent shaft paddle correctly.…
We start our third trip of the summer into the Mudro Lake entry point. My parents have joined us for this trip making this a very special time for me to show off the BWCAW. You'll see some nice paddling and portaging along with my thoughts on the the DululthPack Northwoods pack. Join us on our journey.…
Our trip is coming to a close. After being out for 7 days and traveling over 95 miles and packing our gear over 30+ portages we find ourselves paddling across a familiar lake. Knife lake famous for so many reasons from a spot used by many to make the sharp edged tools needed to survive to the home of Dorothy Molter. We paddled under sunny skies making our way back out to Ely. This half of the Voyagers highway was a great trip. The sights are amazing and the history of those traveling before you humbles one as you pack your lightweight canoe over the portages. Thanks for joining us on this trip, it will be one I remember for the rest of my life.…
After pushing it pretty hard for the last few days we found ourselves really enjoying the natural beauty of Ottertrack Lake. With the sun slowly dipping behind the horizon and a near full moon brightening the evening sky Matt and I head out for an evening paddle. The water was like glass as we listened to the loons echoing off the surrounding trees and cliffs. Matt was doing a little fishing along the edge of the lake as we paddled along. Even now I can still remember the sound of the paddle dip into the water as we glided around Ottertrack.…

12:46With the sun still shining over head and a gentle breeze keeping us cool we continued to paddle west along the voyagers highway. Leaving Horsetail falls we work our way across Saganaga Lake using the islands as a buffer from the wind. Leaving Saganaga we pass through Swamp lake on into Otter Track Lake where we stop for the evening. All in all it was a great day out on the water in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.…
We awoke to a beautiful day. The sun was shining with puffs of white clouds scattered across the sky. We left our campsite in Gneiss and continued west towards Saganaga Lake. We encounter a rugged portage and some beautiful scenery at HorseTail Rapids.
After a couple days of windy rainy weather we wake up to high overcast skies. We are thrilled to be paddling without the sound of rain drops falling on our rain gear. We paddle through North Fowl, Gunflint, the Granite River, and into Gneiss Lake. Along the way we encounter a beaver preparing for winter and a multitude of other wildlife. It was a great day to be out on the water.…
After a day of high winds and a steady rain we leave from Rosa Lake on our way west along the Voyagers Highway. The high bluffs along side the lakes makes for some beautiful scenery. We find a campsite on North Fowl Lake right across from a Loon nest. We get a nice glimpse of the egg as well as a chance to see the mother waddle her way up on to the nest.…
Late in the summer with a few warm sunny days hanging around we head down the Fernberg road to Lake 1. The sun was shining down on us as we talk a little bit about orienteering as we paddle through Lakes 1, 2, 3 and to the edge of 4 where we stop for lunch. It was a very nice day to be out on the water. Its a beautiful trip to take late in the year.…
After spending the day exploring around Knifes Lower Arm we packed up our camp and headed out. We took a different rout on the way out that brought us over a portage scraped down by the glaciers during the ice age. We traveled through Ensign Lake where we show off a nice campsite. Jim talks about the effect the deer have one the area as they continue to push north.…
After the long day of paddling to get into Knife Lake the day before, we decided to relax around camp and do a little exploring around Knife’s Lower Arm. It was amazing to see the destruction left over from the forest fire that had ripped through the area a few years ago. The remnants were still readily available and made portions of the trip seem very gloomy. We were revived however with a little rest and some great views atop a high island in the middle of the lower arm. With our camp already set up, we had the time to just explore around the lake. The shore seemed to jump up out of the water with very steep shorelines. The climb up with a little effort was rewarded with breathtaking views up and down the Lower Arm. The occasional canoe would pass by below us while we sprawled out in the soft moss under a canopy of trees. Knife Lake has a rugged beauty that makes every portage and paddle stroke worth the effort given.…
Its -26 F outside here in Northern Minnesota as I edit this show. Its nice to remember the hot days paddling in the BWCAW. This day was especially hot requiring a dip in the lake at most portages. We paddled and portaged for over 8 hours until we found an open camping site on Kife lake. The portage leading into Knife lake led us to a nice little set of rappids. The crystal clear water in Knife was quite refreshing. We hopped in the water at the end of the portage and let the fast moving water revive us for the next bout of paddling. It was a good thing too, we were expecting to find a camping site in the next hour or two, but it wasn’t for another 4 hours of paddling that we came across a campsite that wasn’t either taken or surrounded by the scorched land of a previous forest fire. All in all it was a very nice day out on the water with some spectacular views.…
After checking out the pictographs on the northern edge of Lac LaCroix we decided to do a little fishing. Our goal was to head into Lady Boot Bay and use some sonar jigs to try our luck at trout fishing. Well the portage we were planning on using was pretty overgrown, and the bugs were terrible. So we headed back out into the lake looking for walleye or northern pike. Both Jim and Mat caught very nice Northerns, while I let a huge walleye jump back into the lake while trying to net it. :( Let me tell you its not fun to relive the moment by watching it on video. After we cooked up one of the pike for dinner we came across a beaver munching on a poplar. It was amazing how close we were able to get, and we lucked out with some fantastic video.…
After exploring around Curtain Falls, we headed back down the portage to our canoes. Along the way we ran into Melissa and Chelsea, two young ladies working for the Forestry Service maintaining the portages. One had an axe, and the other had a shovel. They were kind enough to do a short interview with me about their jobs. After talking to them it sounded like they had quite the gig going. Eight days in the BWCAW at a time out checking and maintaining the porages in the area. I can think of a lot worse ways to spend a summer. :)…
Day three on our trip into Lac LaCroix we took off early in the morning in search of Warrior Hill and some vivid pictographs. We paddled across calm waters and under sunny skies. There were a couple of bald eagles chattering away in a tree nearby. As we rounded the bend into the bay that Warrior Hill resides we encountered a little wind that made paddling a little more strenuous. The sun was still shining and getting to see Warrior Hill rise up in front of us was worth the the struggle against the wind. The Pictographs were abundant when we finally found the cliff face they resided on. The moose figures and hand prints were really something to see. Thinking about what it must have been like when they were placed on the rocks really makes you appreciate what their lives must have been like.…
We set out on our second day in Lac La Croix with the goal of visiting Curtain Falls. We had heard how beautiful it was and were really excited to check it out. We had a few portages and a little paddling to get there from boulder bay so we set off early in the morning. We paddled across calm waters and basked in the warm sun. When we finally made it to Curtain Falls it was amazing. The water was raging out of Crooked lake over the top of the falls pounding its way down into Lac La Croix. Mat and Jim did a little fishing in the fast water below the falls while Erin and I did a little swimming at the top of the falls. It felt so nice to cool off on such a hot day. We found a nice little pool on the edge of the falls that had water boiling into it without the danger of being swept over. If you sit in one side it feels like you are sitting in a jacuzzi tub. If you ever get the chance to stop by Curtain Falls you won't be disappointed.…
Continuing our trip on the Nina Moose River and making our way onto the Boulder River we encountered a couple of deer. They didn’t seem too concerned about our canoes gliding by in the water as they munched on the grass by the waters edge.
Our second camping trip of the summer was off to a great start. The sun was shining through the trees as Matt, Erin, Jim, and I headed down the portage from the Moose River entry point. The word on the river was that a moose had been spotted not too far from where you put in your canoe. We weren’t lucky enough to see it, but had high hopes for the rest of the trip. This is the first episode of our trip out to Lac LaCroix. You’ll see how beautiful the Nina Moose River is with a variety of scenery on the sides of the river.…
While paddling from boulder bay in Lac LaCroix, we came across a ranger station nestled in the woods at the edge of the lake. Tim a Wilderness Ranger who is based out of the LaCroix ranger station in Cook, MN was out working around the buliding and asked to see our permit.. After showing him our documentation I asked if we could get an interview. Tim was gracious enough to ablige and gave us the skinny on what goes on behind the scenes to keep camp sites and portages up and running as well as enforcing the rules and regulations that keep the BWCAW a quiet place in nature we can all excape to.…
Jesse Glass helps me on this beautiful day trip out to the Devils Cascade. The sun was shining and with a little head wind we headed up the Little Indian Sioux River. On the river we saw a couple deer standing in water along the shoreline. We paddled against a pretty steady head wind on Upper Pauness before taking the short portage into Lower Pauness. It was a quick paddle across Lower Pauness to the Portage into the Loon River. At the portage is where you’ll find the Devils Cascase. The water was rushing through the narrow canyon, spilling over rocks with a high cliff face on the far side of the river.…
Our camping trip had to come to a close. We started out in Mudro Lake and had a great time on Lower Basswood River and Crooked Lake. This episode has us portaging out of the bottom of Friday Bay in Crooked Lake and going through a number of lakes including Boot, Fairy, 4 Town, and back into Mudro to finish the trip. Along the way we had a number of portages, one as long as 300 rods. It was a doozie leaving us with tired shoulders and a few mosquito bites. We had hoped to camp right after that portage, but all of the camp sites on Gun Lake were full. So we ended up camping on Fairy lake. That evening we caught a beaver on the shore chowing down on some tree branches and a turtle at the edge of the water. We continued the next day through 4 Town Lake where we saw an immature eagle eating some fish. Our trip finally came to an end back in Mudro. It was a great trip and we hope you enjoyed experiencing it with us through the video.…
Our last day on Crooked Lake was a great one. We had beautiful weather and a nice little current helping us along our way. We were lucky enough to watch some mergansers take off and a couple loons doing what they do best… Fishing…
The pictographs on Crooked Lake are not quite as vivid as the ones on North Hegman lake, but the location is just breathtaking. The cliff face coming up out of the water containing the pictographs creates mirrored images off the water that can look like abstract paintings.
Our big trip for the summer begins on the eastern edge of the BWCAW in John Lake. Our plan is to follow the "Voyagers Highway" through the historic border lakes as we paddle west. We head out from John lake through the Royal River in to South Fowl Lake then northwest into North Fowl Lake and end the episode on Moose Lake. With the recent rain in the are we encounter some vibrant colors on the portages which really makes hauling a pack almost not noticeable. With three of us in the canoe we are able to make pretty decent time. We have a great beginning to our trip. A theme you may hear us talk a lot about on this next series of shows is the head wind we encounter for the majority of our trip. If you would like to take a similar trip we now recommend paddling from east to west. :)…
As we were paddling along the Voyagers Highway we ran into Steve and Ted. 10 years prior in July of 1999 the two were on Knife Lake when the severe storm which caused the blow down raged across the lake. They were luckily having lunch at a campsite when it hit. The two were kind enough to share their story with me. I can only imagine the terrifying experience they had that day. Even though they've had numerous trips into the BWCAW since they decided they should take an anniversary trip 10 years after the fact. We just happened to bump into them on their jounrey.…
Leaving Lower Basswood Falls we head south paddling up the Horse River. Emerging from the thick vegetation along the sides of the river we catch a glimpse of a deer nibbling its way along the shore. The glass like water made for an enjoyable paddle as we find a group of turtles sunning themselves on a log. To add some excitement to the trip I break a paddle on a rock attempting to paddle up a small rapids. No worries though, with a little duct tape we were back paddling in no time. The evening ends with some loons and a bobber floating just off of camp.…
Spending the day at Basswood falls was amazing. The numerous falls all packed into such a confined area makes it a playground for your senses. With short paddles and quick walks to explore each fall, its an easy way to spend a day. We found a cable tram crossing the river at one point; we are not sure what it is used for. If any of you know please email us. At one campsite located right next to a falls we found half and old grumman canoe being used as a chimney for the fire grate. We continue down Basswood River through Horseshoe falls and end this episode at the spectacular Lower Basswood Falls. We hope you enjoy the fast moving water.…
After a tough day of paddling into the wind we were overjoyed to find calm waters when we emerged from out tents. We head from Half Dog bay through Back Bay, and PipeStone Bay on our way up to Basswood Falls. We encounter some neat bird activity along with some scenic portages. Join us as we continue our journey to Basswood Falls.…
Summer is here!! Our first trip of the summer places us at Moose Lake on the Fernberg Rd. The sun is shinning and boy oh boy is the wind blowing. Our initial plan is to paddle up moose and take the Prairie Portage into Basswood, but with 20 to 30 mile an hour winds we change our minds a bit. Instead we take a 175 rod portage from Moose into Wind Lake and on to Wind bay on Basswood. We continue our westerly path through Indiana Lake and into Hoist Bay on Basswood. We are fighting the wind the entire day. This being our first canoe trip of the year it sure took a lot out of us. We enjoy setting up camp and cooking up a small mouth bass that Jesse catches. Glenn shows us how to start a fire with flint and steel, while I talk about the advantages of renting a satellite phone from Voyageur North Outfitters in Ely. We hope you enjoy the first in this series of shows.…

Our final day of winter camping we awake to sunny skies and a warm breeze. Its amazing how warm it can get even though you're surrounded by snow and ice. We packed up camp and headed out off Good Lake back through Hula, and Wood to end our trip. We talk about the sleds we have on our trip and how the different styles have their own strengths and weaknesses to deal with. This is our final winter episode for this season. We had a great time exploring the Boundary Waters in its winter wonderland state but are dying to get out on the water again. Thanks for joining us and we look forward to bringing you new sights and sounds in future episodes.…
We woke on our second day of winter camping to sunny skies and warm weather. It was a great day to be out exploring around Hoist Bay on Basswood Lake. We set off in search of firewood and a little exercise. Along the way we encountered dog teams out on a run and talk about how this bay was used back in the logging days. We also talk about how we set up our camp with our canvas tent and titanium wood stove as well as that basics of filtering water in the winter. Join us on day two of our winter camping trip into Basswood Lake.…

10:21On a sunny Friday afternoon we head off into the Wood Lake entry point on the Fernberg Road. Our goal for the evening is to set up camp in Hoist Bay which is on the South side of Basswood lake. This is BWCACAST's first winter camping trip. We have a canvas tent and a titanium stove for our shelter. With our sleds loaded up with warm gear we trudge across frozen lakes and snow covered portages into the night. The temperatures were quite comfortable with forecasts of high 30s to low 40s. We caught a glimps of a lone wolf lurking along the edge of Wood Lake right at dusk. We hiked on following fresh wolf tracks all the way to Good Lake where we set up camp for the evening.…
Duluth Pack and canoeing go hand in hand. Talk to any avid paddler and you'll find they either own a Duluth Pack, or have seen countless numbers of them in the back country. Founded in 1911 these rugged canvas packs have been thrown into many a canoe and packed over countless portages. Today we'll take you into the Duluth Pack factory, located in Duluth, Minnesota and show you a pack being made from the cutting of the canvas to the hammering of the rivets. Join us as we watch a Northwoods pack take shape.…
We continue our trip on the Little Indian Sioux under sunny skies. Our goal is to experience the Devils Cascade in the winter. Jesse and I had visited this beautiful place last summer and were itching to see how snow and ice would transform the shaded rapids. Along the way we find where a bird had made a kill in the snow. Its wing prints easily identifiable. When we finally made it into the Devils Cascade the hike was totally worth it. Clumps of white snow scattered through the running water. Giant icicles hanging from the cliff wall, and beams of sunlight filtering through the tree branches.…

11:15With temperatures hovering in the upper 20s Jesse and I head out to the Little Indian Sioux River. We had paddled this trip last summer and were excited to see how different things would look in the winter. We encountered a slough of wolf tracks right down the middle of the trail and expiernce some amazing views of open water on the river.…
With the temperatures hovering just above zero we drove out to the Hegman Lake entry point. With our snowshoes and packs on we headed down the trail. The sun was shining down through the trees, and when we dropped onto the lake it was just georgeous out. We encountered a little slush below the top layer of snow on the lake, but we made great time on our way out to the pictographs. We hope you enjoy our first winter episode.…
Late fall we load up our backpacks and head out to the Echo Trail. Our first hiking trip on BWCACAST brings us to the Angleworm Hiking Trail. This 14 mile loop around Angleworm lake takes you along a high ridge overlooking the lake. This provides some amazing views and reflections across the water. There were a few trees left with the remnants of fall colors. The golden leaves were just stunning to see reflected in the calm lake water. We set up camp just up the shore from the lake and got a little fire going to cook our hobo dinners. The Angleworm hiking trail is a great place to stretch your legs and get immersed in the wild surroundings.…
On day two of our June camping trip we spend the day exploring around Lower Basswood Falls. It was a beautiful day out with the sun shining. The falls had a large volume of water flowing over them which really made for a great trip.
The first of three shows covering our last camping trip out of Mudro Lake. This shows our journey from the beginning of the trip on into Horse Lake, down the horse river, and finally arriving at the Basswood river to camp. We see some animals along the way, and paddle up to Wheelbarrow falls. Jim offers up some background on how the border between Canada and Minnesota was decided and shows us the the first steps in using that dehydrated burger we made in a previous show.…
Hegman Lake is a great little day trip out of Ely. It has historic pictographs believed to have been painted by ojibwa native americans. If your into canoeing it's a great episode to check out.
Our first show in the water!! We were able to find some open water amidst the slush and icy shoreline. Our destination... Table Rock Falls. We encounter flocks of ducks rafted up on the lake feeding the falls, and some pretty amazing shots of the raging water surrounded by a snowy setting.
Another cooking tip from Jim. How to save money by making your own dry meals. Dehydrated hamburger is the first step in making lightweight delicious meals for out in the wilderness. This is something we have used over the years and feel like we have not only saved a ton of money, but also felt like our meals may have been a little more tasty. If you look at the cost of freeze dried meals in camping stores these days and feel like they are a bit spendyhopefully this video will help you on your way to keep a few dollars in your pocket on your next trip into the wilderness.…
A little side trip from the BWCA. My wife and I spent a week with my parents up in Valdez, Alaska. We did a little flying, snowshoeing, and checked out some of the boats down in the small boat harbor. It was a nice time visiting family.
