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.

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.

I loved hearing Cory talk about the healing nature of tears and crying. That was validating for me because I cry often too! The "endless tears of women" criticized by Agnes Smedley are not wasted water but cleansing and healing power.

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.

Get a SnowTrekker so easy to put up even a codependent 58 year old can so it

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.

best nothern lights i seen was ely

The Blue Star (Suzanna Maria Emmanuel) has returned in this prophetic time. Our individual opportunity to return to the stars/ October 2032

Once you explore the Canadian wilderness you will think of the Boundary Waters is a big tourist trap

What a happy discovery! I travelled the BWCA and Quetico many times back in the 80's, never heard of Dorthy. Fond memories of Cliff Wold. But I also love root beer, so a case is now excitedly on order from the museum. Madison, WI. Thank you!

Porpaganda

thank you, I am writing a scifi story about ojibwe legend and scifi story about a star woman bringing light to her beloved wife waiting back at earth. These stories help give me insight alot.

Subscriber since '96. The single best magazine I have ever read or subscribed to. Love the high quality paper stock, the excellent photography, and the sharing of info. I wish I had discovered the BWCAW earlier in life--at this point in my life, I travel the Gunflint Trail, staying at the Gunflint Lodge, and fishing the larger trail lakes. Love it up there. Thanks for everything, Stu!

cool epic

Loved it. Really astounding and the photos. O my.

I know this is extremely late, but that is a great picture.

In my interpretation of the Hegman Pictos, they represent more than just a few constellations, but a calendar of the year. The cross in the upper right is our constellation Cygnus which appears in the sky when the open water begins and dominates the summer sky. The canoes and horizontal marks represent this open water season when canoe travel is prominent. Then comes fall represented by the moose, then winter and the Winter Maker, and finally, Curly Tail of spring, completing the cycle. The horned head image of the Water Panther is found in the night sky with the constellation Cassiopeia as the horned head and the constellation Perseus forming the arched back. This constellation is over head just after dark in November, when those gales on Lake Superior come early.

Paddle and take time to observe nature. At times it's an eye opener. It's not only American policies that affect USA climate. South America's continuing elimination of its rain forest program is a factor for changing American weather. Historical American elimination of buffalo and caribou and invention of the metal plow were big factors. World polluters like China affect global temperature.

I wish everyone knew what a wonderful and awesome President Jimmy Carter was. One of our top five for sure!!!

Continue the fight, Ty for all,you do.

So many great ideas. Really enjoyed the talk. Here's another tip that I picked up from my mother. It was a hot trip to Algonquin and mom wanted some cold water so she tied a water bottle to a stone and submerged it deep. Much colder down there. It worked!
