Is the BWCA wilderness worth it? Three days camping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area
For Coop's bachelor party we had to do something amazing so we got the crew together for a camping trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA). We did so many awesome things, saw beautiful lakes and wildlife, ate delicious camping food over the fire, and did our best to enjoy the portages. Here's a smattering of our BWCA photos and videos, with ambient sounds and no music, so you can get a feel for if the Boundary Waters is worth it for you to visit too!

The eagle is AWESOME!!!😎
Nice vid, like the way you worked the sound in, I did see Eddy Falls, we were there last year (2023)
Which lake was the cliff jumping? It looked like a great spot.
Please tell me the drone footage was not in the BWCA

Rest easy, the launch point for the drone was outside the bwca proper, on the gunflint, but when it's way up high you can see into the wilderness!

looks like it's near trail center
Spent a week there in 1999 when I was 14 with the Boy Scouts. This makes me miss it so bad. Quarter of a century later and I still have dreams about it. We got there THE DAY the Derrecho arrived (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_Waters%E2%80%93Canadian_derecho ), but thankfully we were able to weather it in cinderblock buildings, there were people OUT THERE when the storm hit. We got lucky that things were so pristine the week following the storm. TONS of fallen trees across those portages though. We fought hard through them, had to use the hand-saw many times. Just hearing the loon makes it all flood back.
