I retired. So did my repetitive clownery a bit.

Wonderful! I did my own 5-day solo trip in the bwca a few weeks ago. My first solo there. It was spectacular. In the 40s at night and the 60s during the day. I did manage to kill about 100 mosquitoes, and I also got about 100 bites, so the battle was pretty even and we called it a draw. When I came out of the woods and drove to the end of the Sawbill trail, it was 45° on the North Shore, and by the time I got down to the Twin Cities, it was 95° at home. I wanted to turn around and go right back into the wilderness! Great video! Glad you're able to enjoy more of the woods in your retirement.

You and others that canoe have inspired me, I plan to get my first canoe this next week, once I have kicked the Covid bug, made it 3 years, finally caught me. LOL. I started hiking and rustic camping in 2020 when the world changed. Found out I liked it, usually I do motorcycle trips, but am starting to see that my outlook on life or interests in life are changing, I long for more outdoor adventures. I was supposed to be on the Manistee River Trail now, but getting sick threw that trip onto a detour. Anyways, great video, nice Moose and Beaver; frogs were interesting too. Look forward to your upcoming canoe trip you mentioned in your latest hiking video. Stay safe out there.

Did an 8 day paddle out of Snowbank Lake, with 26 lakes and 24 portages back in 2018. The BWCA is absolutely fantastic and a very special place. Anytime old Shug wants to paddle the BWCA with a well seasoned adventure seeker, look me up. No seriously, the BWCA will tug at your soul and suck you in and wrap its wildlife around you. It was everything I thought it would be and more. Loons, eagles, beaver, snowshoe hares, and grouse all made for a fulfilling experience. This is a place I could never get enough of.
