Trip Introduction:
Hello all - my son and I just got back from a 6 day/5 night trip to the BWCA. We started at Moose Lake and did Knife, Ottertrack, Esther, Hanson, and Lower Arm of Knife. We caught a bunch of fish and were lucky with the winds.
We had a great time and I am creating a VLOG to document our trip. Here is the pre-trip video: https://youtu.be/_zNztldWTcQ
