Yes! not always needed, but if you are in an area where they get bad, you might want it. August 2022, we did not see many misquitos and did not use a headnet. This June in 2023, we saw many miisquitos at Daisy Farm but few bites and did not use a headnet. Have not experienced biting flies there yet, and if you get into them you might want that headnet. Hope this helps
I'm going with my three sons arrive 8/9/23. Same as you sea plane to Windigo. Full week to Rock Harbor. Maybe rent a kayak with extra day. Thanks for you video. Well done.
Thanks for the nice feedback! I am sure you will have a great time. We made it back this past June, IR is becoming one of our favorite backpacking trips. Have Fun!
Wondering how your trip went? We went back June of 2023, my wife took a tumble and had to leave the island early. She ended up with a black eye, video will come out as soon as I can get around to it. Hope your trip was safe and fun as ours was.
No, but as stupid as they look they are a godsend. I remember hiking a mountain and being swarmed by black flies every time I stopped moving. It was miserable. After that hike I looked like I had chicken pox all over my legs. It took a year for the scars to go away because I couldn't help but itch. Never again. It's a little warm under the netting sometimes but it's worth it!
My son and I are headed to Isle Royale in June. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure. I watched the entire video!
I love the Pink Floyd music 😊😊😊
Yeah, makes me smile every time hear it
BANGS!

Do you think a headnet is needed for keeping bugs away?

I'm going to guess that Chris is a Libra and Cindy is a Leo.
not sure why you would guess that but wrong on both counts 😊
@@ChrisCindyHike what are your actual signs?
