So heading up in two weeks to go out to Beartrap Lake. I have a $60 gift card I need to spend at Cabela’s. I have all of the necessary stuff I need. What is something that I don’t necessarily need, but would be nice for my trip? What are some suggestions?

Breathable shirt, neck buff, new polarized sunglasses, new fishing lures or line?
I could spend a ton of money there on crap I didn't really need... oh wait, I just did that last week and it all showed up in five different shipments (I hate that).

kjw: "Buy a Tilley hat. Cabelas sells them."
I was thinking the same thing, although you'll have to throw in another $20. If you like to fish, $60 or so will get you a nice spinning reel.
How about a camping pillow?

1st choice would be camp chair like Helinox or similar.
2nd, would be a small packable table (especially if you fish). I like these in particular to clean fish while sitting in chair. MUCH more comfortable than kneeling on rocks and cleaning on ground.
3rd, I just purchased a couple Luci Lights, and did like them around camp at night.
4, Pocket Weather Radio? I use mine in BWCA and other wilderness areas. I've found it to be a handy thing to have.

I've had my Tilley hat fly off my head by a gust of wind when paddling across a lake. It floated while I turned the canoe to fetch it. A Tilley Hat with a modest brim width over those wider brims.
Weather Radio (shirt pocket size).
SS flask. (they don't hold odors)

Thanks for the suggestions. I already have a Helinox. Plus I already have a lucky hat I wear in the Boundary Waters. I went with a Waterproof phone bag so I can bring my phone. I’ve never brought it and want to take pictures and listen to music. I also got some new underwear called Saxx. I’m hoping my boys appreciate the luxurious pouch they get to sit in.
