Earl B: "Its too late to add an alternate permit holder at this point. My specific question is if the guests can be listed on two permits if the permit holder if different." I've never inquired about it before but can one add an alternate when you pick up your permit? |

egknuti: "As long as the other people entering later can reach you in one day, they should be fine by filling out a day permit when they enter. Obviously, once the group leader leaves, the permit is no longer valid. Nobody's entering later. One permit leader is leaving early. Different scenario. |

Can I list my two cousins who don't need to leave early on my permit as well and have them just join my campsite for the last two nights after my cousin and sisters family leave? The cousins staying would be listed twice as guests on two different permits. My permit would have 9 people listed. We would not have more than 5-7 people at my campsite at any given time and no more than 4 boats either. |

The person staying the longest should be added as an alternate then can be changed to the leader when the permit is picked up. |

“ TRAVEL PERMITS You must enter the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) at the entry point and on the date shown on your permit. You may not enter/re-enter at a different point or date using this permit. Permit and stubs become invalid when the trip leader exits the wilderness.” I.e., they will have to leave when the leader listed on that group permit leaves, as their group permit is invalid at that point. They can’t join your group because they will not have entered on your group permit. BWCAW Rules and Regulations I will be very surprised if the USFS responds in a contrary way. |

1. Prior to the switch, they encounter the cousins group, noting the number in the group *and the names listed*. 2. Subsequent to the switch, they encounter the family group, noting the number in the group *and the names listed*. 3. Matching the common names, they inquire as to which group they accompanied upon entry. I think they may have bigger fish to fry. PS The harder questions may be encountered from an ethical gatekeeper at the time of issuing the permit. |
