Got a question. I'm totally not familiar with this type paddling. What does that load (barrel and boat) weigh on portaging?

You Northfolk have some beautiful country. Awesome video.

I always enjoy watching your adventures. I missed this one some how. You've definitely got the walleye fishing down to a science. I also had canoe trip with a buddy a week ago, but did not film it. We went to the South Arm of Knife. Tring to schedule another BWCA trip before Lake Trout season end on Oct. A solo trip I hope to film and have the camera work this time. Great Video, Can't wait for the next one. Mik

Looking at MNDNR test nettings on Lynx, I would not focus my efforts in fishing for bass or walleyes.

I enjoy watching your videos. I come to Ely every year with my bass boat, first week of June, but I am ready to take it to the next level. Planning a trip into the boundary waters next year. I am not familiar with canoes what brand & model do you have? It looks fairly lightweight and seems to have held up pretty well, for as many trips as you’ve taken. Thanks for your time and any advice would be welcome

Ate lunch at that campsite on a day trip once. I also had a strange encounter coming out of that entry point at night on another trip.

Wonderful video again! Your effort of filming is really appreciated and I always look forward to the next one. I bet Norman was glad you came home early.

Oh man, what fell out of your boat at the first portage? A Nalgene bottle? Great video! Thank you for these videos. I've learned a LOT from you before my trip. Again, thank you! Any tips on fishing for Walleye? Since this is my first trip, I'll take any advice you're willing to give.

That area is absolutely beautiful❤

This is a FANTASTIC video! I'm headed to the BWCA for my first trip in two weeks. I'm spending 11 nights, 12 days out there doing a loop from Sawbill up to Little Sag then down to Cherokee. Around 90 miles. Should be a blast. You have a great setup! Subbed. 1:04:00 WOW!!!!

A fish fry with wild rice? Mmmm 🤤

Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to document this so well. I plan to be heading in on Mudrow 23 next week to camp on Fourtown as well. Looks like conditions are great right now. Thanks again!

Cool video…a bit jealous…old lady here!!

Nice video! I wanted to ask if you're using a fish finder on your canoe? Also wondering what would work best set up wise. Thinking 1/4 oz jig with small bait fish/minnow. What size hooks would you use? Thank you!

Did you happen to hear the beautiful call of the whippoorwill on this trip? It’s mesmerizing.

WOW, Lots of fish. A beaver for a neighbor. A live morning Loon wake alarm. Sounds rough. What an adventure. Also your cinematography is really great. My first ever solo trip next week. Only 3 days. But I'm just getting my feet wet. Mainly will be targeting Lake Trout and Walleye. I enjoyed this one as always. Btw do just wear hiking boots on the portages and let them get wet and try to dry them in camp? Thanks Mik

When you say use the map for fishing do you mean just a map of the lake or the actual depth chart map of the lake

Hoping to have that same view in about a month! Thanks

Great video man 👍 thanks for sharing your awesome adventures

Great video shots! You captured everything I love about the BWCA, thank you.

Hey man great video as always! I wonder if you would be willing to email with me about a couple questions I have for you in regards to your videos?

Very nice trip, thanks for sharing. Good job on the fishing too! I’ve been on around 15 BWCA trips myself, but not recently. Hope to get back in there.

Love the speed up sounds! I am going there in 4 weeks so I am excited to watch this. Thanks!

A tip on using double bladed paddle. the object is to keep as much of the blade in the water as possible. You are holding the paddle with the longest point entering the water first. it should be the other way around also the length of a kayak pedal when used for a canoeis usually quite a bit longer than what it looks like you are using. With a longer paddle, you have a more relaxed stroke with less splashing. Usually much drier for the Paddler too.

What is BWCA LIKE GET TOOOOOO FUCK LOOOOSER

Nice 👍 Enjoyed your video

I did that loop 35 year's ago, my dad brother and a friend,that portage to gun was a killer i got to carry one aluminum canoe and cooking gear cast iron back then.Damn wish I was still in that kind of shape.

Great job,seem's like rain has been following you. I had the same issue's in late June at tiger bay, still had a great time.

Great video,nothing better than a good camp fire.

We stayed at that site a few years back and caught bass and walleye right off the tall bank with leeches and slip bobbers. Didn't have much luck fishing on the lake. Enjoying your video.

What brand was that hot tent? Awesome video

I thought that was a canoe, but apparently it's a hat!

Another great job filming your adventure, your content and presentation is awesome!

We just left Lynx yesterday morning stayed one camp over. We waded through that portage it was waist deep. Did a big loop 24 portages, 22 lakes, 2 rivers, 3 creeks, 5 camps, 7 days. Probably post a video next week.

The campground on Lynx looked cool. Glad you were able to get some fish for dinner in the end. Thanks for sharing.

I did the same trip in 1981. Greeted by the take-off of a great blue heron around a bend paddling in. Camped for a few days on an island in Shell Lake (freshwater clams around it), heard a moose swim to the island. Visited Devil's Cascade alone one early morning and was spooked, felt as if I were being watched. (No bear spray back then.) Saw snapping turtles sunning on rocks. Leaving up the Little Indian Sioux into a terrific headwind, I got windburn. Didn't want to leave that beautiful place! Check out Lost Lakes videos for great camping/canoeing/fishing tips. Excellent in every way.

The portages next to the rivers are so beautiful! Amazing how you didn’t fall or stumble on the portage covered in water!

Nothing beats a Sunday afternoon with the common man playing on the tv

Get at er and skidatter

Great videos, last time I was there was in 97. I was watching and thinking if u still see moose there? My dad has a super 8 video in 81 with a cow moose and 2 little ones, so cool. I was only 17 but I remember it like yesterday…. Thanks for bringing back the great memories….

Should throw a bobber out in the evening.

🤩🤩🤩🤩😍👍

Great trip. Everything looked beautiful even when it was raining. Loved the view from the cliff on the river. Thanks Common Man!

Incredible...once in a lifetime... thankyou

I haven't seen Sandpit Lake since I was 14 on a 3 week VOBS expedition.. that was back in the 20th Century. Thanks for posting this video, sir!

Once you were able to get out on the water, you definitely has some fish action. How do you determine when to use your paddle vs your double blade kayak paddle? Nice crappies too. Great Video Mik

we entered the bwca on june 30th at saganaga lake for a roundtrip to alpine lake, south knife lake , hanson- and ester lake and along the border around american point back to were we started. 11 days of superbe, lazy canoeing. sunshine, rain, wind (and bugs) all you need for a good trip. we came all the way from switzerland to do this nice trip. our 5 canoe trip in the bwca!

Could you handle those fish a little more gently? How about getting a net? So much stress on the fish.

❤❤❤❤❤

Love your videos and your ability to share your adventures with us. Great memories, even if it does rain a little. Nice clean camp!
