This trip was an adventure and we are happy to share with you all. Canoe camping in the Boundary Waters is something I love. How cool is it that Cory loves it too. We spent a lot of time fishing this trip and the results were delicious. The route was new, previously I had only visited Snowbank, Parent, and Disappointment lakes. We did some bass fishing and lake trout fishing. Though we did find our fair share of Northern Pike.
I camp and hike in and around the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. I'm also building and enjoying an off- grid cabin in the woods with my partner Cory and the kiddos Nora and Ethan! I love sharing the journey with you!
Thank you for supporting our channel :) :)

Watching your KZbin video on my TV but have to comment on my phone. Awesome to see a young couple living their dreams. Someday I'm hoping to get up right but rite now taking care of my mom with Alzheimer's and babysitting 2 grandkids full time. Watching videos like this is my relaxing time.

How fun! I am watching and thinking about how much I miss camping.. i used to take my horse to a State natural area (in Texas) and I’d pitch a tent, and then ride the miles and miles of trails, coming back to cook on my camp stove, rub down and feed my horse, and rest up to try a different trail the next day…. We’ve retired now and moved out of state. We have more livestock now that can’t be left unattended while we go away for several days to a week…. I’d love to go on a canoeing and camping fishing trip. Ya’ll need a net!

@jodimiddendorf how busy is the BWCA around the 4th of July? I'm considering a last-minute trip for that week, but am worried it'll be super crowded. But there are quite a few available permits so maybe not?

@jodimiddendorf 10 ай бұрын

In the past it has been super busy around that time. At least on the Grand Marais side. But if you take a permit on a lake with lots of available permits you might have a quiet experience!

Thank you! Yes, I also feel refreshed making these videos and doing these trips. My truest passion is BWCA camping. I am taking summer classes in my graduate program, so this summer might not be as BWCA focused. But I already am looking forward to another trip. ☺️☺️

Think I've mentioned it before on one of your other videos. Maybe not. But you and Corey could get yourselves a Thermacell. Can get them for about $20-25 bucks at Walmart. Kind of looks like a beefy tv remote. It's got butane cartridges that go in the bottom. Then these blue pads. You flip the switch on, press the button until the little heat filament lights up. That'll heat the pad. Takes a few minutes and the thing will create approximately a 15' barrier that'll keep mosquitos away. The pads & butane cartridges are supposed to last about 4 hours. We can usually get more than that out of them. Lot of times, once the blue pad goes almost completely pale, you can flip it over and get a few more hours out of it. I have friends that hunt, fish and camp in the deepest woods in Canada and won't go out without a Thermacell. They work great, but if it's good and breezy, it's fairly useless. But, almost everyone I've shown them to and we've used it at get togethers has been impressed enough to go get one.

@jodimiddendorf 10 ай бұрын

Yes! We do have a Thermacell. We do use it and like it. On this trip we pre-treated all clothing with permethrin, wore bug nets, sprayed 25% deet bug spray daily, and ran our thermacell when sitting outside at camp. With all of that, we found bugs to be manageable. Except those pesky mayflies. Hah I agree about the Thermacell. I think it is great!

Oh my goodness! I finally got to see the whole vid! You guys are so cute together!! We want more canoe camping vids!!!😊😊😊. Thank you both so much for picking up that campsite. I try to do what I can as well. I have those exact same darn tough socks that Corey was wearing, colors and all! 😁. I was extremely impressed that you guys were doing all those portages with water shoes as opposed to hiking boots. I think, from what ive seen in other vids from algonquian and quetico, that people wear hiking boots and thick socks and wear tbem into the water. They do it to protect ankles it seems. Anyway…. Good stuff here and take care. NQU

@davidpatrick1813 10 ай бұрын

Nice camp out. I was wondering if the canoe rests on the head when you pack it? If so you may be able to make a padded something that sets inside and the boat rests on the shoulders. The neck bones may be stressed unexpetantly.

@nahnotsomuch2292 10 ай бұрын

There is a bar that runs across the top of the canoe. Has two pads for your shoulders when you flip the canoe over to portage it. You'll be able to see them @1:16 of the video.

I have always gotten an early start on any of my BWCA trips, ( on the water by 6 am). How do you find sites etc that late in the day? I stat to look for a site around noon.

@jodimiddendorf 10 ай бұрын

I just get lucky and have always found a site. I definitely think it is a good idea to get an early start. I’m not advocating for an evening/afternoon start. BUT, when I used to work at Gunflint Lodge, I would enter the BWCA in the afternoon when I got off work and go for an evening paddle or for a 1-2 night camping trip. Often solo. I guess I just got used to starting a trip at 5, 6, or even 7pm and knowing I just had to take the first campsite I found. Now I live a bit farther away and it takes me 4-6 hours to get from my house to the entry point. Sometimes I prefer to get a late BWCA start rather than getting a hotel or camp spot outside of the BWCA and enter the following morning.

@Palehose1 6 ай бұрын

I know that you carried out some trash that you find, but what do you do with the food packages that you use on your campouts? Do you burn the paper in the fire or carry it out?

@jodimiddendorf 6 ай бұрын

Good Question! I carry it all out. Personally, I do not burn any garbage in the fire. Paper is more likely to cause floating embers as it burns. If you're familiar with the Ham Lake Fire in BWCA (I highly recommend the book "Gunflint Burning") It is assumed that the fire started due to paper ember floaters. I think of that every time I have an urge to put paper in the fire.
