quote spirit2189: "A question for everyone. When snowshoeing in the boundary waters, how many carry ice awls / ice picks for emergency self rescue?" I do... I HATE being on unknown ice. I keep them in my pocket and not as accessible as they should be. But I have them. These but from Fleet Farm They go together to protect the point...end to end. |

Followed advice of SevenofNine, we stayed at a State Park (Bear Head in Ely which was silent and beautiful). We did get out skiing on various bwca entrance points, and explored where we might want to stay on the next trip. Piragis provided the tent and stove, and additional advice which was helpful. We rented canvas tent, but next time I want to rent CCS if we have to haul (canvas was heavy). Amazing how much stuff is needed in winter. My sister took some great pictures which we will post (when I figure out how to do so). |

quote canucanu2: "Also thanks OldFingers57 for the advice - will check out the wintertrekking site for sure! " You can find a list on Lure of the Norths website. The items they list are mostly procured from Canadian sites but you can use the items as a reference. I don't totally agree with everything they suggest but it is a good comprehensive list. Good luck with your list. LOTN |

I doubt I would agree with any checklist including one I would make up if I took the time. so here is my rambling. I break it down to activities and go over it in my mind. After Matches and map and compass Eating- Food/ Cooking- Eating utensiles Sleeping- Bag / Pad /clothes I like to wear sleeping. over bag/ ground cloth, Tent, Tarp Clothes- Active clothes for moving about/ clothes for being at rest-clothes for when it has gone badly . the best question here is What is the worst weather I am going to encounter, and am I willing to be out in moving about all day long? First aid- bandaids and asprin- hand sanitizer Wood fire - Stove- Matches/ Lighter. If wood fire is planned on then wood processing equipment Misc tools/ repair. Leatherman, duct tape, specialized widgets you may lose and need to replace, cordage, |
