We stayed at that site below Basswood on June 9 and 10. Never had a better feeling than coming out of that Canadian portage and seeing that great site open after a very long day of paddling. Fun reliving our trip and seeing that big stump we used to split wood and remembering the great times we had there. We took the long way around through Fourtown because everyone told us the route you took through tin can Mike was too tough. It didn’t look a whole lot tougher than that awful portage between Fourtown and Mudro, but I know video can be very deceptive. Thanks for sharing, great video.
First of all I loved the video. Again, you and a few other have motivated me to do my first solo trip. I have permits for a trip the 3rd week of August. Headed in to target Lake Trout. Then a late trip with the new hot tent in early October Thanks B Mik
@@CommonManCamps-dz6ur I'm already looking forward to your next video. Thanks for getting back about the pant. My concern id for the kayak paddle getting me wet. That's why the water proof question Thanks Mik
We were at the end of the Echo Trail after fishing opener. Gotta work on that single portage my friend so you take a dog or 2! They don't want us double portaging anymore leaving the food packs out of sight. Bears are stealing food at portages I guess. I did some kayak racing back in the day you're paddling with your paddle upside down. Glad you had a fun trip the Canadian border is one of my favorite spots in the BWCAW 👌
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to single portage. I do have all my food in bear vaults so I’m following the new rule. As far as the kayak paddle I never realized there was a top and bottom. I guess I would just grab it and go not knowing. Now I do so thank you.
If you could find the time what is the brand of your life jacket . great job on the video. I like the idea that you give time to the beautiful area thanks again
we entered the bwca on june 30th at saganaga lake for a roundtrip to alpine lake, south knife lake , hanson- and ester lake and along the border around american point back to were we started. 11 days of superbe, lazy canoeing. sunshine, rain, wind (and bugs) all you need for a good trip. we came all the way from switzerland to do this nice trip. our 5 canoe trip in the bwca!
Thats amazing and to have done it 5 times. 11 days would be fun to do. I get to go on multiple trips a year but not long trips like you. Glad you enjoy the BWCAW and thanks for watching 👍
@@CommonManCamps-dz6ur coming from switzerland just for a canoetrip anything less then 10 days would be to short! i enjoyed watching you movie. specialy with the knowledge that we may have bumped into eachother on a portage!!!
Nice video. How did you keep the leeches alive doing all that paddling and portaging? Did you have them in oxygen for awhile? You didn't fish until Day 3, so I was curious how you carried them with you in the leech bucket?
I just kept them in the leach locker in the lake. If I’d go to a new lake, I would drain the leach locker and then refill it and just carry it on the portages. I’ve never had problems keeping leeches alive unless it’s very hot out. Thanks for watching hope you enjoyed it👍
@@CommonManCamps-dz6ur Thanks, I meant that I didn't see you clip them to you or anything. You must have carrier them with the pack first, then the canoe

I haven't seen Sandpit Lake since I was 14 on a 3 week VOBS expedition.. that was back in the 20th Century. Thanks for posting this video, sir!
Thanks for watching 👍

Great trip!!! Are you interested in trying out a new style of portage pack?
I’m always interested in new gear. Especially if it’s Minnesota made.
You’re sooo fucking pretty
A new common man outro
Oh yeah, you betcha
What brand of brown pants are those? Are they water proof?
Thanks
Mik
Sorry I was on another trip and just got back. They are Fjall Raven pants. No not water proof but dry quick

In fact, all the extra leeches are at the cabin in the lake and I plan on using them on the next trip.

Watch out for alligators
