-Good swimming campsite-----------My wife loved swimming from our site. She liked that she was able to bathe and not feel gross, and we both really enjoy swimming.
-P-Style-------------My wife like the idea, but she never practiced before the trip. She ended up not using the item, but will give it a shot before the next trip.
-Wine-------------PHENOMENAL idea. We both really liked sipping wine each evening.
-Treats-----------I snuck some hersheys kisses into the food pack. I think this was a good energy boost and dessert idea.
-Bug Head Net-------------We used these each night, and it helped us to stay out by the fire. I wont go on another trip without these.
To be honest, this is the worst day of a trip, so I won't spend much time dwelling... We got up early. Again, clear skies and light winds. We made quick work of the portages and we were back to our vehicle by 11:30am. Luckily for us, the steaks we had left in the car hadn't released any fumes!
I want to highlight a few ideas/items that were recommended to me by BWCA.com members, and how they worked in the field:
