I have camped with them 4 or 5 years and have learned a lot each time. The place they camp is a mini-BWCA just over the border in Wisconsin. |

I got your email, and I very very sincerely appreciate you taking your time to reply. I will take your suggestions dearly and do my best to comply. One problem though, after living in MN for 4-5 years, I had to move to CA for job, and currently I do not have a chance for backyard camping in winter time. That's why I was wondering if I could join a seasoned group to be their apprentice and learn from them. But I will try to be active here and do my best to get as much as information possible. Thank you for your time and for your reply once again. |

It started with five guys the first year but, has grown to a large, diverse group. Here's a link to the 2014 Frozen Butt Hang on HammockForums.net They welcome "ground dwellers" and have a wealth of experience with cold weather camping. |

I had posted this in another topic, and I finally found the right place to post this. I thought this would be the best place to re-post this. (if you had read my previous post, I apologize, this is copy/paste from it!) I have been camping in BWCA since 2009, and have been to BWCA for 3-4 days long overnight trips 7 times now with a group of 6 max, and group of 2 people min. I usually lead (or helped to lead) groups (especially last two trips). I am good with navigation, woodsmanship, hard labour and so on. Good with fire as well, I am usually the fireman of the group, wood chopper etc ... Since I was a kid (thanks to my dad who was in love with native american culture and their way of living and their relationship with wolves and nature), I grew up with that dream, and love of wilderness in me. I have a dream to go and live by the land in Alaska in winter time and I want to do it at one stage of my life. Maybe for couple of weeks, may be for a month, I don't know, but I want to start from somewhere and I think BWCA is the best place. I want to have my winter training (for multiple years) to be in BWCA with a seasoned group that I can learn and contribute. Basically, through this email, (if possible) I am looking to join a winter camping group of 4-5 people this Jan 2016. A little bit about myself: I am 33yo, graduate of UMN with a phd in engineering and currently serving as a professor in northern CA. I would be very happy to get in touch with groups who are willing to take some people on board, and I am more than willing to talk about it. If interested and/or if have one spot for me for the trip in sometime Jan 2016, let me know. I will be happy to talk. My availability in Jan is between 04-22 Jan 2016.
