I really appreciate your simplicity and peacefulness. It is truly relaxing and enjoyable to watch. Just wondering if you’ve ever tried a hammock setup on these trips. I’ve done some kayak camping trips on Maine lakes and the campsites designated by the bureau of public lands are pretty rooty making it challenging for tenting. But perfect for hammocks. I also love your littlbug! I’m a twig stove addict myself. Firebox nano for backpacking trips firebox regular for carcamping. I like the littlbug because you can collapse it down and roll it up with other rollables in the pack. I’m also curious what you were making to put into the containers. Thanks again and I always enjoy your creations!😊👍🏼. NQU

@@notquiteultralight1701 Thank you very much, glad you enjoy my style of camping and video production.… I’ve never tried a hammock before so I may be mistaken, but I like to sleep on my stomach so it seems like a hammock wouldn’t work very well. The meals I’m cooking up are from Valley Food Storage, you can go to their website and check out all the different options that they have on offer. I use and enjoy all of their meals and options. I bought a few years worth so I don’t have to think about it every time I go out on a trip… Yeah, the littlbug is a great twig stove and I love using it, it cooks amazingly well and doesn’t take up hardly any space in my pack. I haven’t heard of the Firebox but I will be sure to check it out… Thanks again for the great comment.

I did a 14 day solo in the Lac LaCroix District. Wonderful time. Caught some Lakers.

[@nemadjihermit]

@@benjaminmay8685 Very nice. Solo is the best way to experience the BWCA in my opinion.

[@donalddakota8069]

You put a lot of effort into your filming and it shows. The paddling away shots take time and thought. Been through most of this route you were on but only in early May just after ice out so looks so different in the summer, especially all the calm days you had, nice!

[@nemadjihermit]

@@donalddakota8069 Thank you and thanks for the comment.

Thanks for sharing! Fresh out of MN State Fair today, August 22, 2023 and nothing there compares to the beauty and adrenaline of what the BWCA gives. I do describe this place as: the place that time forgot.

[@nemadjihermit]

@@user-kvnMN Yep, I heard that the State Fair is happening and I would agree with you that it can’t compete with the beauty and excitement of the BWCA. Thank goodness that mass of humanity that flock there every year thinks otherwise. Glad you enjoyed the video, as always it was an amazing trip.

[@user-kvnMN]

@@nemadjihermit yep not missing anything at fair, $16 to get in, shop junk, eat deep fried, drink sugar drinks and T-shirts galore…

[@toan5673]

I sure can appreciate the work you put into filming. well done (Escape with Jay)

[@nemadjihermit]

@@toan5673 Thanks…While filming can seem like a chore at the time, seeing the finished product makes all that work worthwhile.

[@toan5673]

@@nemadjihermit I completely understand. I filmed my trip down the mississippi and it was a chore! all the filming, editing and constant file transfers and battery charging. But when it was all done it was an amazing documentary of my trip! If you would ever be interested in a beef stick partnership I work for a company that makes a grass fed shelf stable stick that is wonderful "on the trail". We can go over details if you would like to try a sample. If not that is not a problem just thought I would offer as I use them on my trips. Happy paddling!

[@nemadjihermit]

@@toan5673 I love beef sticks, they’d make a great trail food. Sure we can talk. Wow! A trip down the Mississippi, that must have been interesting.

[@noahweimert9771]

Beautiful video as always. I’m set to put in next weekend at EP 25 on Moose Lake, looking forward to it.

[@nemadjihermit]

@@noahweimert9771 Thank you very much. Enjoy your trip.

[@miksretirementadventures9795]

Where'd you find those screw top food container's. That's a great idea'. I just returned from my first solo trip. Unfortunately, my camera failed me, so no video. Mik

[@nemadjihermit]

@@miksretirementadventures9795 Those are just Nalgene containers, you can find them on Amazon. Congrats on your first solo trip. Sorry to hear about the camera though, maybe next time.

[@wishihadanickel]

OMG -- I am watching this and coveting those screw top food containers as well! thanks for asking, I was too timid to ask!

[@HikeandHook13]

Your paddling style looks like you canoe race. Have you ever done the Au Sable Marathon in Michigan?

[@nemadjihermit]

@@HikeandHook13 I have not done the Au Sable Marathon, I don’t race anymore but of course I still like to train.

[@smokehousehammock4481]

nice video, I starting at snowbank sept 11 for 10 days... What wood stove are you using? puts out some heat...

[@nemadjihermit]

@@smokehousehammock4481 Thank you… Should be a great trip, September is the best time to visit the BWCA in my opinion…It’s called the littlbug and yes it really does put out the heat. Great little stove to cook on.

[@DRazz86]

What model we no nah is the one you have? I’ve been thinking on getting a solo canoe. The portage pack you carry seems to hold nicely too.

[@nemadjihermit]

It’s the Voyager.
