It's as beautiful as I recall. Not been up there since 77 and started going back in 69 as a pre teen. Well into my 60s now with bad knees. I loved portaging the boundary waters, shore cooked fresh fish, and camping with my parents back then. Thanks for sharing and puttin a smile.on my face. 🤙

What’s up Mav! I remember my senior year of HS of 2019, I tore my ACL during football. Played the whole season but got surgery right after I walked the stage. After coming back from the hospital I was in bed for 1-2months. I just remember scrolling through KZbin and finding Mavs channel, it’s crazy to see how far you’ve come! You weren’t even close to cracking 1M subs when I first started watching you. Thanks for the awesome, cool videos! Stay up, stay blessed and continue being great Brother!

I camped in that same spot 40 years ago as a 16 year old Boy Scout! Seeing you portage and be on those lakes brings back memories… Thanks for sharing… As for your MRE dinner on the second night, I ate more of those than I care to remember as a infantry officer…

Never done that spot, but I did spend 2 weeks on the Hungry Horse Reservoir near Flathead Lake Montana. It was some of the most fun packing I've ever had because I could bring heavier supplies that if backpacking, and canoeing from one campground to another is so tranquil. Although, my 2 weeks were cut a little short when a few days before haul out, we had a huge storm come out of nowhere. I swear 50 mph winds. After securing the campsite from the wind, went down to the shore to check on the canoes only to see 2 of them flying about 30 feet in the air. The 3rd one was out in the middle of the lake completely swamped. That pretty much ended our little excursion early. Still had a great time.

[@derekwalters4980]

Great place! I spent a Christmas at Gunflint Lodge years ago, went dog sledding and walked across that lake to Canada and had a beer. A huge bull moose walked in front of our car on the way there and took over a half hour before he decided to mosey on into the forest. Kinda cool for a California native!

[@g33z3rhd]

For several years straight in the late 80s and early 90s, I went to the BWCA with a group of 8 to 10 people for 10 days each time as a part of a youth group. The last year I went, I went as a chaperone to give back to the organization that planned the trips. Back then, we didn't filter water...it was just clean and we could drink it straight out of the lakes. We all had cups on leather strings we wore around our necks that we could dip into the lake while we were paddling if we needed a drink. This video brings back a LOT of memories! Thanks for this!

[@J.Benson]

That sounds so awesome. About the water? Can relate. As kids here on a farm we used to drink water straight from a fresh water spring near a creek. The water was cold as ice. Lol.

[@jacobhupp5409]

You still can drink the water straight from the lakes. This has not changed.

[@J.Benson]

@@jacobhupp5409 🤔. I'd be concerned about Giardia, among other things. Perhaps, each to their own. Speaking of change, though, as kids we rarely saw wood ticks of any kind. Scads of sandburs, though! Now, never, ever see sandburs.

My grandfather used to do this. He’d load his one man canoe drive from Seattle to Minnesota. Then grab his canoe, 100 pound sack and portage for a month or two at a time then drive home. Did this every summer for 15 to 20 years. He was a great photographer so there are tons of great photos from his trips.

When your out there alone dude the military sat phones we use need to just be beeped every twelve hours when in use and at a moments notice if it isn't clicked then the sat company calls the nearest search and rescue as well as your family to alert them that you have not checked in. Its worth the money and you can write it off on your business. Dude, it could save your life one day. Excellent video as always, cheers

You have to go late August . I cherish that trip, some of the most beautiful moments in my life in nature-easily. His route was nothing compared to ours. We stayed on tiny beautiful islands, some beautiful streams between lakes. Eventually the pinnacle reach ing our own secluded lake completely secluded medium to small sized lake with just tiny camping spot in the center on one side overlooking gorgeous high rock cliffs to the right of the opposing shoreline parrallel running a bit straight like ours. My brother and I taking a dip in the dropoff and tiny pebbled beach of our camp. Prior to that lake there was another lake with a wooded shoreline also, this one had trees right up the edge. My little brother and I watched a moose and calf sipping water in the water half up to their knees up close but trees saving us if she charged. Another moose crossing btween lakes swimming. This was mostly in Quetico, the Canada side. Our pro outfitters were called Jack and Toni, sadly probably long gone. We started in Basswood Lake. We even saw trout in the stream and another moose on the marshy edgeline of this wide inlet stream of the one of the lakes. We stayed on one small island in the center of a medium to larged sized idyylic lake that had curves, bends, inlets etc. Sunny and not a sound, lake was glass, just drifted and paddled alone around the island and then stopped on the side where my brother and dad were, I was about thirty or forty yards out. We had finished breakfast. I cast a couple but mostly just wanted to sit back and take in this moment in life, finally free of worry. Just a lazy, perfect, quiet moment in paradise

[@TravelingTroy]

Mav your videos have always been cool. I lived in a camper van for 8+ years and now have an F150 camper setup, similar to yours. I’d say the key feature is a pass-thru window from cab to camper and back. 👍 Comes in real handy when stealth camping. I finally posted a full tour video. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertlinser2425]

A little is overly cautious about hanging your food at the end of every portage. It's the campsite you have to worry about. More than once, my bag was used as a bear pinata. In fact, two year-old cubs showed up at my spot on Duncan Lake a few years back. I had to chase them up a tree with a canoe paddle. Somehow they managed to untie the line, get the bag down low enough to get into it... they got the slow decay bread and peanut butter.

[@jakemckeown]

I went camping and canoeing in the boundary waters with my mom, brother, uncle, cousin, and great uncle about 15 years ago. It was such a fun week. We were actually told not to hang out food and to just put it away from the rest of our camp. A couple of rangers came by and knocked down a post that had a bunch of old ropes tied to it from other people hanging their food from it.

If you enjoy these canoe trips Mav, you need to check out the Bowron Lakes in BC Canada. My dad and I did it for my 18th birthday. Absolutely amazing. We took 10 days but you can do it in a week if you hurry, although I’d recommend taking your time. Amazing fishing, scenery and wildlife. We saw bears, moose, tons of bald eagles and much more. I’d recommend bringing a buddy for this one as 10 days alone might get a bit boring. Also safer in case something happens.

There's been quite a few mishaps in the BWCA this year. Few drownings and some lost canoers. It's extreme wilderness and going it alone always adds a level of danger to it. One thing to maximize safety when canoeing alone is wearing a life vest instead of storing it. If you capsize, you won't drown while you're looking for your preserver.

[@craignelson3243]

You definitely don't want to go looking too far for firewood at night in the boundary waters. Showing my age here but one time back in the very early eighties we found a young boy at a portage who was with Outward Bound and was out on what they called a solo by himself who had gotten lost while looking for fire wood.He had no idea where he was camped at. We brought him back to where we were camped at,left him with other members of our group and took off as fast as we could to try and find the park rangers we had talked to earlier. We found them and they took him to a ranger cabin, they called in a float plane to take him out and as the plane was taking off with him some members of his group paddled up and the rangers called the plane back. The rangers stopped by and thanked us. We found out the young boy was about five miles from his camp site when we found him. And thats five straight line miles in pitch black darkness. So many ways this could have ended tragically.
