On day two of our June camping trip we spend the day exploring around Lower Basswood Falls. It was a beautiful day out with the sun shining. The falls had a large volume of water flowing over them which really made for a great trip.
The first of three shows covering our last camping trip out of Mudro Lake. This shows our journey from the beginning of the trip on into Horse Lake, down the horse river, and finally arriving at the Basswood river to camp. We see some animals along the way, and paddle up to Wheelbarrow falls. Jim offers up some background on how the border between Canada and Minnesota was decided and shows us the the first steps in using that dehydrated burger we made in a previous show.
Hegman Lake is a great little day trip out of Ely. It has historic pictographs believed to have been painted by ojibwa native americans. If your into canoeing it's a great episode to check out.
Our first show in the water!! We were able to find some open water amidst the slush and icy shoreline. Our destination... Table Rock Falls. We encounter flocks of ducks rafted up on the lake feeding the falls, and some pretty amazing shots of the raging water surrounded by a snowy setting.
Another cooking tip from Jim. How to save money by making your own dry meals. Dehydrated hamburger is the first step in making lightweight delicious meals for out in the wilderness. This is something we have used over the years and feel like we have not only saved a ton of money, but also felt like our meals may have been a little more tasty. If you look at the cost of freeze dried meals in camping stores these days and feel like they are a bit spendyhopefully this video will help you on your way to keep a few dollars in your pocket on your next trip into the wilderness.
A little side trip from the BWCA. My wife and I spent a week with my parents up in Valdez, Alaska. We did a little flying, snowshoeing, and checked out some of the boats down in the small boat harbor. It was a nice time visiting family.
A very popular topic in the forum today we’ll show you how to use the Bake Packer. Jim Aune takes us through the steps to make some delicious blueberry muffins right at camp. This is something I’m sure you’ll be throwing in your pack on your next adventure. Its a great way to have some variety at meal time. Hope you enjoy the show.
