    Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the #travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to go travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this #travelvlog to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling, and we didn’t want to stop after just one year! After achieving our new goal of 100 countries and then all 7 continents (check out our documentary here: • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY , we had no plans to slow down, until 2020 decided to force us to ;) which is when we bought a converted Sprinter van to start exploring our own country for the first time. #Vanlife was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎 #celsius

    As a Native Minnesotan and someone who goes to the Boundary Waters every summer, I had a lot of fun watching this. You got extremely lucky with the Mosquito that year because of the wildfires and dry temperatures, because the way they were at night is usually about how bad they are in the daytime.

      The Book of Truth
      When things were at their very worst:
      2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
      Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
      Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
      After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
      Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
      - will seem to rise from the dead
      - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
      One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
      Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

      @@KaraandNate I am not going to lie having done a 2 week canoeing trip up there in the boundary waters on the Canadian side "The Quetico" that I was going to start cracking up the moment Kara said the bugs haven't been a problem. As you discovered there is a Misquito hour and it is at that point that en mass all of them will come out and start swarming. Had nights were you just wave your hand and you were smacking them out of the air because there was so many
      Small addition, but what you can actually do is instead of putting up a bear bag, because they literally don't do anything, you flip over your canoes on your side and put the bags under one while using the other to weigh down the first. Makes for so much less work and makes it so the bear would have to move all the canoes.

My canoe weighs about 50% more than theirs and the aluminum canoe you saw from the other eople weighs about twice as much as theirs and neither of those options is much of a problem.
