Of course not everyone knows all our sewers run into Tanners, I wouldn't fish there. I do still deer hunt at Phalen though.

I forwarded this to my daughter who went with me last summer to the Q, and who later last year had a real encounter with 2 mountain lions while soloing on the Colorado trail-her response:
Dad,
This story made me cringe the whole time, I wish the bear had killed him. He is everything that is wrong with people who go into the wilderness-what an ignorant white trash idiot, sorry this all just pissed me off. The fact he has 3 kids also makes me concerned there are 3 more future idiots the same as him.

Um no.






Proud East sider. Troup 42. Forest and Case.




The BWCAW has a section named after another East sider, Bruce Vento.

Exactly what I thought!


Thanks for the laugh and learnin me somethin bout this whole "wilderness campin" thing!
Eyedocron 01/15/2015 06:58PM
As an Eagle Scout and a veteran of 24 Quetico trips, it never occurred to me that "leave no trace camping" could include clearing the camp area by flinging all the beer cans far away into the woods in multiple directions. Great humor story.
I have actually seen people do most of these things, but never all at once and never so proudly done. Nice story. Eyedocron

Best trip report yet!
GraniteCliffs 02/05/2015 08:46PM
I also wondered if Stu would take a look at this. Nice change for the magazine

Hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.

OMG what a sense of humor! I couldn't help but think of Earnest T Bass from the old Andy Griffith Show.
BigZig 01/16/2015 01:32PM
Very funny and very clever writing.
Elydog 03/25/2015 12:28PM
FANTASTIC. Thanks for the effort.
johno 01/19/2015 06:55PM
I enjoyed reading it!
searching4slabs 03/29/2015 01:13PM
Problem is that if you're from east st paul this is probably actually how a camping trip would go, probably a true story.
nctry 01/12/2015 04:09PM
I was laughing from when you were taking your three kids all one year apart with different mothers right to the end.

I think you should see if Stu will run this... BWCA journal needs a lighter story every now and again. Thanks for helping me start my day with a smile!!"



I have never seen a copy of the Boundry Waters Journal if he so desires he's welcome to it.
bapabear 01/12/2015 10:33PM
Love your style! Uncle Jethro taught you well. This trip had it all; beer, girl scouts, ingenuity, Dinty Moore farts, bears, nakididity, bottle rockets..... woooooeeeeee! Can't stop laughing. Next time bring the dog and let Fido take the pictures?

Why go way over to Phalen when there’s all that space in Ramsey (Battle Creek) Park? Just don’t drive the deer too close to Century Ave. If you happen to get off a shot it might make the guards at the Workhouse nervous. : )

I don't like being that close to the workhouse, too many bad memories.

I bet she's a hoot at parties, about as much fun as three kittens in a piñata full of thumb tacks.

I'm trying for funny/clever post response but cant't come close. great stuff-thanks!

Nice job. I would be interested to hear about your fishing trips and winter excursions.

Sounds like a great trip. What drug did you take?

Funny. That'd be a good skit for the Red Green Show.

You might want to apply for a patent on that canoe mover you enverted.
LindenTree3 01/27/2015 11:53AM
I skipped the first day and started reading on day 2. At first I thought you were serious, wasn't until day 3 that I totally realized it was a joke. I almost had to stop reading it a few times. I just had my appendix taken out yesterday (Seriously) and the few Laproscpic (sp) incisions were hurting and I couldn't control my laughing.


Nice one.
OldFingers57 01/16/2015 09:28AM
Enjoyed the story. Some talented writing there. I see a series in your future.
callofthewild 01/16/2015 09:42AM
Love the story! Your writing style reminds me a bit of the outdoor humorist "Pat McManus". If all else fails, you can write for "Outdoor Life" magazine. I am still laughing!!!!!
