Lost iphone in black textured SafeSleeve case connected to a black and yellow solar charger. The phone and charger were left at the campsite just east of the 200 rod portage from Knife Lake to Vera Lake. They were left behind on Thursday September 8th in am. If found please reply and we can figure it out from there. I am not really sure how this works. I am happy to pay shipping and would gladly include a reward to have the memories of our first bwca trip with my son back. Thank you for any help you can provide in getting these items back.

Thanks everyone! Pack has been located and in the process of being returned. Special thanks to Voyager North for contacting me. Extra special thanks to Steve, Jane, and James at River Point Resort/Outfitters for continuing to go the extra mile for your customers. Just another story of why you have been our BWCA choice for 20+ years.
Thanks to the group who picked it up and turned it in. Hoping everyone a great summer of 2022.

I know it’s a long shot, but just thought I’d post and see if I can find the owner. I found a grey hammock tarp left behind in a particularly brushy section of the Brule Lake trail this past weekend, July 10th. I’d guess it was on the outside of the owners backpack and got pulled off. If it’s yours, let me know and we can make arrangements to get it back to you.

I was guiding a trip out of Stuart River last week and my water bottle of the last ten years fell out of my pack on one of the portages. I didn't realize until we reached Stuart Lake. Since it was a guided trip I couldn't go back to look for it in the moment and I had to leave town to go back to school the day after coming off trail so I didn't have time to look then either. The water bottle is a blue insulated Klean Kanteen that is stickered up and definitely looks like it has been on some adventures. If you happen to come across it I will pay for any shipping plus a reward. Thanks!

Left a black drift sock on Basswood (U.S. side) at a campsite about 4 or 5 campsites below U.S. point. Had it tied with a white rope to a tree and forgot it when we left camp on June 11th. Thanks in advance for your help.

Lost. Stanley coffee mug insulated, Green. Left overnight on the beach by the portage on Agnes lake. If you can get it back to me by dropping it off the next time your around a superior forest service office that would be great. If this works let me know.

Lost our dog this morning around 3am in the area by Seagull Outfitters at the end of the Gunflint Trail. Male imperial shhetzu, 11 years old, light tan on top with white under belly. Goes by the name of Sam/Sammy. He’s super sweet and wouldn’t hurt a fly. Generally not skittish And you could probably easily run him down. Looks like a puppy and will bark when hungry or stressed. Bark resembles that of a puppy. Would probably respond to Sam come here. Searched for the last 15 hours with no sign of him even though 3 family members were searching within seconds of him slipping into the darkness. I can be reached at 630-306-4750 with any sightings. We’ll be in the area for another day and a half. I thought I posted this on the bwca Facebook page but have yet to see it?!

paddlefamily: "Lost Gransfors Bruk hatchet. Roughly 14”. Possibly Jordan or Wisini Lakes campsite (maybe on a portage in between those lakes through the Frasier lake area). We also headed north through Kekekabic and S Arm Knife Lake. It’s been around for a long time and has the letters “WWD” printed on it. Sometime between 8/16-20, 2022. Will pay for shipping. Thanks! "

If you read "100 Years of Solitude" by Gabriel García Márquez it might make some sense. :)

I did not do too good this trip!
*Lost* on 07/30 a brand new Frabill foldable fishing next on one of the portages between Birch Lake and Robins Island on Knife.
*Lost* 08/04 - My St. Christopher pendant and necklace. Sentimental item! Would love to get this back. I know where I lost it. It was in my tent pocket on a campsite on Vera. I forgot to put it on in the morning. When I went to pack the tent I noticed some stick/grass/leaves and shook the tent violently upside down. I am sure it is in the grassy tent pad area of the far southeastern cove campsite. If you're paddling that way please stop by to check. Nice tent pad behind the fire grate in the main camp area.
If you find it and decide to keep it, I hope it serves you well. But if you'd be willing to return it to me I'd be forever Grateful and would be happy to give you a reward.
Thanks kindly

I lost a Berkley Lightning Rod with a Daiwa Regal reel, most likely on the Pine Portage or Deux River portages between Pickerel and Dore', and Dore' to Twin Lakes, in Quetico. My daughter thinks a Yeti stole it from camp, but I have my doubts.
If you find it, I would love to get the brand new reel back but you can keep the brand new Lightning Rod just because shipping would be a pain!

Hi everyone I lost a hatchet and a pair of water shoes on a portage between Ram and Rum Lake on August 18. The hatchet is hand ground and has AA ground into one side, wood handle. It was in a leather sheath and the shoes were tied to it. I made another hatchet but my friend really misses those shoes. If anyone finds it I would pay to ship it. Thanks

Go to the last posting on the 2023 Lost and Found post instead of your post on this 2022 Lost and Found, and it may have your missing stuff. It seems like it was in the Rum area and involved a pair of shoes and one other un-named item.

I left three rods at my campsite on pipestone bay today. Two are identical rods, the third is a “panfish pro”.
If anyone happened to find them, I can offer a bit of a reward.
Left them at the canoe harbor at campsite 1608, the third site on the east side of pipestone bay after pipestone falls.

Lost, pair of girl's brown glasses on Clear Lake from shore of the 1st campsite from the portage. Lost in the water 5-8 feet out from the stony point under the big white pine on June 15. We swam and felt for them, but it's was dark and overcast.
The point is on the east side of the white pine. There is a large log lying on the rocks just right of where they were lost.
I have a feeling that if we'd had swim goggles or a mask, we could have found them easily - especially if there would have been sunlight.
Please let me know if you find the glasses.
Thanks.

Lost 3 poles for sure, maybe 4. One was a brand new, never seen the water St. Croix pole with a flueger reel, another one was an Ugly Stick with a blue Diawa reel, and the third was another flueger pole and reel combo. They were lost on May 25th in the morning left at a portage somewhere between Seagull Lake to South Arm Knife. I believe it was between Jasper, Kingfisher, and Ogishkemuncie on one of the short portages. Hopefully someone has them because they weren't there on the way out!

Left a camouflage "fanny" pack out on the portage. I believe it was left at Bruin Lake portage on 6/30. It contains my fishing tackle, fishing license, camera, and my permit through RiverPoint Outfitters. Plenty of info to help return the pack. Hoping a honest person helps return this item. I had a group of HS students with me. They would really appreciate the pictures. Thanks to all.

Palm Tree Bucket Hat
Had a Basswood trip at the end of July and I lost my favorite hat off the boat. This particular hat has been with me for Many years and I am not ready to say good by. I will pay a reward if its returned to me.
If this hat washed up on your camp site or something please let me know. :)

Lost a navy blue REI flexlite camp chair on August 7th somewhere while traveling between Agnes and Ge-be-on-e-quet Lake. (We traveled Agnes to Oyster- Oyster River - Green Lake - Rocky Lake, Ge-be-on-e-quet). The bag might still have the tag on it but the price would be crossed out in sharpie.
Have a feeling it was lost on one of the portages as it had been secured to the outside straps of my pack and likely fell off. Also possible for it to be at the one camp site on Rocky Lake as we stopped there for lunch.
Willing to pay for shipping to get it back plus a little reward!

FOUND: in a Trader Joe's shopping bag that I hadn't fully emptied.
Possibly left on our last campsite 7/30/22 some parts for our Aeropress...the filter cap and stainless steel filter. I searched through everything when we got home, so thought we might have left them there. Will pay return postage.

Lost! Pair of Oakley Sunglasses at campsite #1459
My wife, dog, and I were running from a thunderstorm and rolled up into this campsite just as the lightning struck the opposite side of the lake! We jumped out of the the canoe and I dropped my shades in the water. $50 reward. Otherwise, keep em' if they look good on ya. The landing was very nice. The campsite was a little enclosed yet a little magical. I'm guessing the sunglasses are in less than a foot of water. There was also a rapala lure by the firegrate and a lure tongs behind the firegrate.

Low chances, but I'm going in Stuart in 10 days and will keep an eye out.

Forgot to pack hand saw (blue handle, saw wrapped in grey styrofoam) this morning when leaving. Free to whoever finds!
On Polly Lake site 1079 if using the Voyageur maps, otherwise the southwestern bay, second site from the south. Hanging nicely in a tree.
Apologies to the leave no trace mantra.

Weird case. This weekend, four of us were out backpacking the Kek and happened upon an abandoned backpacking pack near Benezie and Parent. It seemed to have been there upwards of a couple of weeks since a decent amount of debris had fallen on it, it had been rained on, and there was some mildew growing under it. It seemed whoever left it took some essentials and abandoned the rest like they were sick or hurt and needed to move quickly to the trailhead. We hadn't heard about any rescues, and could find no other traces besides the pack, so we hauled the pack and remaining gear out to the trailhead and left it by the trailhead sign since we had no better solution for it. I passed its original location along with the story along to the forest service too because an abandoned backpacking pack set off red flags for us as something being off. If the pack is yours, it's at the western trailhead or I can go retrieve it for you also. Hope everything turned out alright!

Here's a picture of it, just so you know I'm legit and not running some kind of scam. I don't see where it says "WWD", but it would be a weird coincidence if someone else lost the same hatchet around the same time period. I found it around labor day weekend on Bat lake. Sounds like it went for quite a journey.
