Just got back from a great winter camping trip at Angleworm Lake, BWCA. I'll be posting a video as soon as I finish editing the footage. Here are a few pics from the trip.

Looks like a great time. I like Angleworm and have camped there a couple times in winter. Pretty lake.

Surprised to see the guy in BDUs. Not the warmest thing to wear but to each his own.

Thanks for posting your pictures, I look forward to the video.

Next time please try to follow the rules a little better:

"•Fires are allowed within the steel fire grates at designated campsites or as specifically approved on your visitor's permit. "

Choose a Campsite

• On the ice, in a protected bay, or in a natural
forest opening such as a swamp.
• At least 150-200 feet from trails, summer
campsites or other groups.
• Make just one trail connecting the shoreline
to camp.
• Bury human waste in snow 150-200 feet
from water, campsites, summer trails and
portages (pack out toilet paper).

Campfires

It is preferable to make a campfire on
the ice to minimize fire scars on rocks
and shorelines. Use base logs or a
portable fire pan for your campfire on
the ice. Use a campstove or fire pan for a
campfire on land to avoid leaving fire
scars on vegetation or rocks.
• Collect only dead and down wood far
from shorelines, trails or campsites.
• Make sure your fire is out cold to the
touch when you leave.
• Scatter ashes in the woods away from
the shoreline and cover the campfire
scar with snow.

Thanks Soledad.

We were going to set up on the lake but there was a lot of slush that would have made things very difficult and wet. All wood was fallen, dead trees and we covered up the fire with snow when we left. One can always improve each trip out. I wanted to show that "winter camping" can be fun, not just work. I hope you like the video.
