Good advice. Not sure the backpacks are safer on boats though. Took my 3 sons on the Queen IV out of Copper Harbor. We handed them off at boarding and one of our packs got damaged so badly it was almost unusable. There's no recourse for that. Fortunately we were able to make repairs and had a great time. Love IR.
@goyourownway9149 Yes. Always worry about my gear on airlines, but these short transportation trips I think are worse. On airlines I always use a disposable duffle, but these short trips I just throw the dice. Thanks for commenting. Keep Smilin'

I’m curious since I’m new to hiking what makes IR such a great destination? Is it the scenery? Seems like really hard to get to.
Getting there is half the adventure. Isolated, dark, quiet, moose, wolf, Lake Superior, solitude. Try it, you'll like it. Keep Smilin'
