Sea Gull Lake

My parents got a freeze drier over winter, so I tried out some different food items in it. Some were included in this Thanksgiving feast. We had instant mashed potatoes and stuffing with freeze dried corn and ham steaks. It was WAYYY too much food for our tiny camp plates so we used our paddles as makeshift plates. We were stuffed!

SMORES are pretty good after fishing all day on Ester and Hanson.

Caribou walleye

Fresh & dehydrated meal on Bald Eagle

We like to freeze a nice steak or stuffed chicken breast and take them out of the cooler at the entry point and throw them in the pack. Its been a nice tradition and it makes the first night dinner a sure thing. Campsite #175 on Lac La Croix in May of 2021

Kids night to cook dinner.

Nothing beats a wally dinner in the BWCA!
