As a former boundary waters guide this made my heart so big. You southerners ❤️ took to it all so well. And everyone learns the mosquito war/put up your bag ASAP lesson. Also, died when you saw a bear on your first day. I haven’t seen a bear up there in years. But I was sad you didn’t get to seen any loons or otters 😭! Maybe in the next video? If you go to the BWCA again, come in early September. Not a single bug but warm weather, warm water.

This might be my favorite video thus far. You betcha I’m a bit partial to Minnesota. I hope we get a 3 parter for this journey through the BWCA! ❤️

Uff da! I love this comment. As a Canadian who visited Int'l Falls every summer as a child (Minnesotan relatives), I loved this video.

Omg I LOVE Celsius, but I've never met anyone else who's even heard of it! They used to sell it at my old office, and I would get it when I didn't want coffee, and I was so impressed! But I like the kind that isn't carbonated, and that one is hard to find, so I'm so glad to see they have a powder version! Congrats on your sponsorship!

[@ajshapiro5995]

I don't normally watch the sponsor segment but I did for this one about Celsius cause love these drinks too! These kept me awake and focused during grad school! Love the taste and getting that kick of energy (but no jitters)! ...And of course love Kara & Nate, y'all are the best adventure travel guides!

[@Traggel]

Celsius is better than Fahrenheit

[@maddiejaneec]

This is AWESOME! I recently uploaded my own adventure-type video and trying to morph into more of an outdoors account instead of ED recovery. THANK YOU Kara and Nate for inspiring me always and showing us the WORLD!

I spent a week canoeing the Boundary Waters many years ago. It's still a highlight memory.

[@oliviarogers359]

You guys have slept in TONS of crazy places, but not in a million years would I guess for you guys to sleep in a canoe! This content is so unique and amazing.

[@kristiegillin9077]

I haven’t finished watching it yet, but it’s a good sign that it’s uploaded right? Lol. Looks like no one died lol. It’s never good when someone says how bad could it be, right at the start 😂

[@paintbywolf8789]

Oh my I've done 4 canoe trips through the boundary waters so many memories flooding back my favorite place in the world I hope you got to see Ely it is an awesome town the outfitters are awesome

[@juliechace6292]

I’ve watched these videos a couple times but this is the first time that I noticed Nate mimicking Kara!!!! Totally hilarious!!!! Kara and Nate I love your energy and smiles and looking forward to seeing more of your adventures

[@wtfminny]

I hope you enjoyed our beautiful state. I call it home. Thank you for your contribution to the “”9:15 pm Blood Bank.” I can’t wait to see the rest of your stay. Bald Eagles and Black Bears are plentiful here. I hope you have a Loon encounter before your stay was completed, their songs are spectacular.

[@Gigi-rr5ys]

I love Sarah and Dusty!!! Can't wait to see part 2 🥰

[@marilynkuhns8951]

I was in the boundary Waters 20 years ago. Brought back some great memories! The campsite we used was on an island and looked a LOT LOT like your 1st night campsite. Thanks for the memories!

[@UnreasonablyNiceEE]

I love that y'all show both the lows and the highs of this trip. Now I want to plan my own trip.

[@vidyavadlamani8201]

Kara : Nate are you sure you should be in charge of the map Nate : who’s navigated us through 100 countries 5 minutes in and i already know this is going to be fun 😂😂

[@doriefannin9389]

My smart mouth would have immediately said "Google maps" 🤣

[@jfo738]

I've been in mosquito situations like that, and I learned the best thing to bring is an electric fly swatter or two. It's very satisfying even if it's a losing battle, and it's the easiest way to take out the ones that inevitably end up in your tent. The other thing to do is treat your tents and your bug gear with permethrin days before you leave for your trip if you have the option. Just don't put it on your skin

[@jessyka74]

Love LOVE that you were here in MN and you experienced our Boundary Waters! I am blessed to live in the Brainerd Lakes area, lots of great hikes and hikes paths. In fact I just saw a baby black cub on a bike path I frequently bike on! Hope you loved our state as much as I do!

[@sofiaheltunen7372]

I live in northern MN too! About an hour and a half north of Brainerd! And I love seeing that there are others in Northern MN lol

[@ewmeyers]

Everyone always expects Minnesota to just be flat. Of course we have tons of corn fields, but Minnesota is a really large state - way larger than most people know - and much of it was formed by glaciers ripping into the crust of the earth. So, while Minnesota doesn’t have mountains, it does have large hills, deep cliffs, and lots of ravines and other treacherous terrain. Which is what makes it so amazing for hiking and exploring.

[@highlander723]

Nate: Canoe the boundary waters they said it'll be fun they said... Everybody: LOL I can't believe they fell for it!!! LOL

[@micro11.]

they "died by getting eaten by a bear"? you mean they got trolled by a bear ?

[@valerielove9837]
