Boundary Waters / Caribou Lake

[@backpackingadventures4813]

Great trip! I really like the superior tarp. Looks very versatile. Protein is king! Agree 1,000%. For me, I love the heat. But I will say it did get to me a little bit last year might be old age setting in. I like the mashed potatoes idea as a supplement to your meal.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

The heat has bothered me ever since I stepped into the jungle in the Far East. Over 40 years ago. The humidity was horrible! But anytime in the great outdoors though, is worth it. I am going to try to do a little ultralight hiking this summer. Trying to cut the pack weight in half with the new gear that I have been buying. Doing DoorDash here and there to finance it. Thank you Dan so much for watching.

[@backpackingadventures4813]

@@AdventureswiththeMarine Good luck with the ultralight. The benefit I like about being ultralight, or close to it, is it’s less wear and tear on my body while hiking. Being lighter allows me to hike farther more comfortably. But I don’t go to extremes with it either. I still bring everything that makes me comfortable. I am definitely it a minimalist in that regard. But purchasing lighter gear over the years allowed me to add stuff back into my load out while reducing weight.

Good morning, Marine and runner. Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise with us. Hope you and your families had a nice easter. God bless

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

My Easter was just wonderful. I hope yours was as well. Thank you Mitchdenner from watching. It is always good to hear from you. God Bless!

[@sheilahenry7279]

Great info on why not to use stakes if you can. Runners 2 shirts & bandana look good. Camping & Styling there. And, you look good in pink. Yes, good hair 😂😂 Thanks for another nice video & wishing you both a happy Easter.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

I can pitch the tarp to exactly where I want it. No worries on stakes coming undone in the high winds. And no trying to pound them in the hard ground. I hope your Easter was a great one.

[@parnold-mora8924]

Totally agree with you about hammocking in the heat, 40-50° is my sweetspot. Another wonderful trip, thanks for taking me along!

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Thank you Parnold-mora so much for watching. I really do appreciate it.

[@brandonmason8914]

Happy belated Easter to you both! Love your videos!

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

I hope you Brandonmason have a great Easter. Mine was just wonderful! Thank you for watching. I always appreciate it.

[@darrylthehorntoadpiper]

Well Marine z& Runner I am so jealous of your campsite & view! 😊😎👍👍

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Nothing like a room with a view! Thank you Darrylweartpipingancamping for watching. It is always good to hear from you.

[@MooCrewChief]

I camped on Caribou Lake in Sep '22 and Sep '23. Great memories watching your video!

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

It sure is a beautiful lake. thank you MooCrewChief for watching. I really appreciate it.

[@tumbleweed5425]

Good Morning to Runner and the Marine. Accepting mosquitos is a cost of admission to God's Country. Plus it helps keep the riffraff at bay. I sure enjoy your posting of another adventure. Outstanding scenery. T

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

We really enjoyed feed those Mosquitos. We all have to do our part! It is always good to hear from you. I hope all is well.

[@gregbrimmer8992]

Good to hear from you tumble weed, it was a great trip!

[@BosomBuddyCreations]

Sometimes you have to take the bad with the good. On that note, I know you are a man of God. Please pray for my dog Cookie, we need a miracle for her.

[@gregbrimmer8992]

🙏

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Praying for Cookie.

[@BosomBuddyCreations]

@@gregbrimmer8992 Thank you!

[@BosomBuddyCreations]

@@AdventureswiththeMarine Thank you so much!

[@rodoutdoors]

Great shots. Cool to see you and Runner getting out and doing some fishing.Those mosquitoes at the end looked horrendous.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Those mosquitos were fishing too. I think they were a little more successful than us! Thank you Rodoutdoors for watching.

[@U.S.M.C.0311]

Lol, the Dragonfly part had me rolling. Glad I'm not the only one that thinks they look like Cobras.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

I am so glad they are on our side. Thank you U.S.M.C. for watching. Semper fi!

[@kevinbungles]

Great to see you two out again … look a good peaceful evening and stunning views.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

It is kind of like Batman and Robin in the wilderness. And those mosquitos were the villains!

[@kevinbungles]

@@AdventureswiththeMarine Batman and Robin awsome

[@seniorsouthwick976]

Real nice canoe. I’ve had a Kevlar Wennonah Spirit II for 34 years now and absolutely love it. Light but stiff shell and you can solo it from the center as well as double it. Just one of the most versatile canoes. Enjoy your hang.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

That sounds like the perfect canoe. I need to find one. Thank you Seniorsouthwick for sharing that. Good stuff.

[@LousyFIBs]

That’s awesome about the dragonflies fighting off the skeetos! I’d love to see that in action. What we use are these small mosquito zappers. You put them on the perimeter of your camp and you’d be surprised how well they keep your camp bug free.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

I need to try something. Because when the son went down. So did the Dragonflies for the night. But not so for the Mosquitos. It was dinnertime for them. Thank you John for watching. I really appreciate it.

[@petescharber8567]

Really nice video Marine. Appreciate you and Runner both. Pleased that he likes his new tarp! And I can totally relate to the heat, I am a spring and fall (and winter) BWCA visitor only - lol.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Heat = Biting insects! I have a hard time sleeping on those hot sweaty nights. But anytime in the great outdoors is worth the sacrifice. As long as I am watching others on You Tube.

[@chriscon8463]

Great camping trip! Love that Chili Mac…it was always one of my favorite MREs, right up there with Cheese Tortellini! Hope you both had a Happy Easter!

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

It is amazing how good that some of those MREs are. But than again. Everything taste better in the Great Outdoors! I hope you and your family had a great Easter.

[@pekbekmkek6310]

thanks for sharing your wonderfull trip.

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you Pekbekmkek for watching. i really appreciate it.

[@PumpkinVillage]

What a beautiful spot and some good times were had. Now I'm jealous Runner has that great tarp to. Tried to order one twice but out of stock and only sold in a package deal at the time. May have to recheck the site. Turn 65 in May . Would be a good birthday present!!! Can you fold it to make doors? Take care and God Bless, Al

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

My Brothers Granddaughter just bought on last week. They must be in stock. He ( my brother ) had his Granddaughter call me on which tarp to buy. Superior Shelter is the most versatile tarp for your money. You can make it rectangular. Or a hex tarp. And yes, you can make doors. I hope y0u and your family had a blessed Easter.

[@gregbrimmer8992]

Great Video Marine-maybe we should try a bug sapper 😎

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

We where lucky we did not get carried away by those blood suckers!

[@250renfe]

Good video Marine. Suscribed❤

[@Agile47509chicken]

Looks like the Caribou Lake near Poplar, not the one off of Clearwater? I’ve visited the eastern one, and plan to visit the western one (near Poplar) this summer!

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

This Caribou is off the Gunflint Trail. Little more rockier on that side of the BWCA. But just as beautiful! Thank you Agile47509chicken for watching. I really appreciate it.

[@drmarcfpelletier]

How did you get to Caribou Lake, was a portage required?

[@AdventureswiththeMarine]

Two portages off the Gunflint Trail. It is a beautiful Lake. Thank you Drmarcfpelletier for watching. Much appreciated!
