Reney, the elder of the True North Losers, goes on a three-day solo backpacking trip in northern Wisconsin over Memorial Day weekend.
Reney and Mates, Excellent video , looks like you all had a wonderful and enjoyable camping weekend.
Please try to catch bigger fish
For all readers....this is my brother-in-law. We love him anyway.
Looked like a great trip. Glad to see a new video. Very nice! How far of a paddle was your site from the landing?
Hi Larry, thanks for checking in. From the landing, our camp was about 2.5 miles almost straight north.
What lake did you start at? My wife and I looking for some clear water to paddle and fish.
Hi dj, started and stayed on Bruhle. Big water. Not sure I’d recommend this lake if it was a first time for you. Thanks for watching.
@@reneylanglois699 Awesome! Thank you! We're comfortable in big water.
Fun trip! You guys had a great set up 👊🏼
Very enjoyable video!
Wolf or big foot poop
The electric motor on ebikes is to assist you. The motor turns on when you go below a certain speed (going up steep hill).
Thanks for sharing the video of your trip. I'd love to go back to the BWCA again. As a safety moment for other viewers, be sure to keep your body out of the line of a bow saw. At 21:57, the video caused the Scoutmaster in me to become alarmed.
Hi @ppodhajsky1, thanks for checking in! Good tip for the saw. Unfortunately, I come from the school of Eugene (old man) who had all of us boys with chainsaws in our hands since teenagers. To all viewers, @ppodhajsky1 is right, if you're prone to inattention with hazardous tools, don't follow my lead.😁
H 5-O
You nailed it William. Thanks for checking in.
@@reneylanglois699 Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!!
What a great team! I love BWCA. I'll be there next week. Wilderness life! 😎
Good luck on your trip @Paddle!!!
Reney, Another excellent video experience
Thanks Steve, loved being out with the big bro
Back for my 5th TNL’s video and enjoyed this as well. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the Labor Day Edition ATB Mike from Chicago 🙏👍
Thanks for dialing in Mike. Next up is early October with Tammy (wife), Sophie (daughter), and Nick (SIL). Tammy's first trip in the bush. Pray for all of us 😁
"Book 'em, Danno!" I won't say the name of the show as to not give it away to your other subscribers. I like your pure family approach to these outings. Good clean wholesome family fun. I envy the connection you have with your children. I guess I'm jealous. I must have done something wrong or maybe I had a bad teacher?
Well we love that you can appreciate the family feel of the outings AND your quote from the show Reney alluded to! 🤍

Yes!!! Great job Eric. Love that opening theme.
Everything about brûlée is big big wind big waves big rain and BIG FISH!
Haha good to know, thanks Erik!
The smile on Mr. Two Pillows face while the UL pillow squirts out from under Sir Gram Weenie was worth a good chuckle.
Well stated Jason....well stated.
Been through Brule twice, last fall we had 2' swells coming out we made it just fine.
Two full size pillows. Wow. Never heard of that. Probably ok if you are base camping. Like your tarp setup. I use lean to method in wind too but use Cliff Jacobsen’s method - tie tarp to ridge line which is head high, pole goes in middle pushing tarp out, back end is staked down to ground, run line from ridge line to ground to prevent ridge line from blowing up and down in wind and run line from tarp to ground in middle on both sides. Tarp pole is nesting vs corded telescopic so I can leave sections out to get desired length. Enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks Kevin!
Hi Kevin, big brother knows he's going to get torched for the pillows 🤣, I did my part during the trip. In his defense, he's got physical needs for upper back and neck. Thanks for the comments and your notes on tarp configuration.
50:00 By far my favorite moment. "When you got an aluminum cup the sides heat up immediately with hot water." I love Reney's very low expectations of what video equipment can record and hear through audio. Enjoyed it all the way through, can't wait for the next adventure! Big shout out to the editor, amazing job, added so much to the adventure.
We appreciate it, thanks a ton!
Hi Char, thanks for commenting and thanks for the kind words for my daughter Sophie (editor). I agree, she makes gold out of straw!

Too late

Brian wins.
Hope this is a fishing redemption trip.
Love the commentary! 😂 love the vids… thanks, from Australia
Thanks Chris, long distance endorsement.😄
It was very heart-felt listening to Rob. He was hurting and keeping composure. I feel for you both. But the main thing is, you both are ok..❤ Glad you decided to stay for the night and cook up a good meal. In my opinion, good food always calms the savage beast. No, I'm not saying Rob is a beast..lol Those go-pros got what they deserved ! I'm just happy you both are ok.. see you guys when I see you.. Thanks for the video. Take care you guys !!
Hi Dave, I think you posted on the wrong video.😄 Having said that, for what it's worth, our whole crew is doing just fine!
right at marker 48.49 you can here a grouse wing beat . at the point he says chipmunks back . thank you guys for bringing us alone . I have been on those lakes 3 / 4 times . Im from Indiana
Good ears Roy!! thanks for the call out. I have hearing loss especially for low frequency sounds like those grouse wing beats.
I can’t believe I watched this for an hour and 45 minutes, loving it the whole time! Love the sense of humor and TOTALLY agree about folding the paper…what kind of psychopath bunches it up?!?
Yes!! Solidarity!! Thanks for the support!
Doc, grateful for the kind comments. I'm slowly and gradually trying to teach the world proper personal hygiene. It's tough, people are soooo stuck in their ways.
What kind of tent do you have? It looks like it goes up super quick and easy! My husband and I take a four wheeling trip every year with friends but our tent is really big and clunky. It’ll be good for when we have kids but big for just us two.
Hi Overman, it's a Marmot Tungsten 3P with a footprint. So technically a 3 person but you know how that works. I find it's perfect for 2 adults with length to bring in a back pack or spare dry clothes at your feet.
Bold statement here; best RUclips channel out there! I’m not sure how I stumbled upon your channel but I’m glad I did!
We are honored @overmanfarms! Thanks a ton!
Thanks Overman!!!!
You guys keep it raw, real and fun and that’s awesome!
I'm guessing the pickup must have been related to the truck portage. At one point it was disconnected, later it was reopened using sled dogs, if I remember correctly. I'm not sure if they reauthorized the use of trucks, hauling out one way overdue, or something completely different. Mystery from the past? In the early 80's there was an old steam tractor just off of Ima lake to the west. Most of the front end, and smoke stack visible. On subsequent trips I watched the hood, pipe slowly, but surely get swallowed up by the Muskeg, and water.
I padded through Sawbill to camp, and fish Alton; the portage to Alton is a veritable super-highway as far as portages go. Fishing was slow, other than hyper-aggresive hammer handles on neighboring lake's. I have not fished Burnt, Smoke, or Flame, but have heard many reports that make me wish to chase Eyes there sometime.
Thanks for the background Dave.
Thanks for sharing your trip. I would love to see the plans for the tables you made :) Thanks in advance!
I used the Sawyer one gallon gravity fed filter for a 5 day Isle Royale hike with three other people and a 4 day BWCA Oct trip with one other person. Worked great as long as you are not in a hurry to get the water. For the Isle Royale trip we filled up 8 30-32 oz Nalgene as soon as we got to camp and then topped them off before we went to bed so all the bottles were full when we left in the morning. For the BWCA trip we just filled them up at our leisure as we needed water. The stream does slow down as you use it so you need to remember the backflush syringe to clean it out. FInally it is real nice because you just sent the bottle under the filter and you can go setup camp, eat etc. Just remember to have someone check once in awhile. I bet we filtered a gallon of water over the trip that just went in the ground because all of us forgot we were filling the bottles!!!!! My wife did use the steri pen but I think by the end of the trip she was ok with just the Sawyer filter. The water we filtered was not bad to start, interior lakes on Isle Royale and a BWCA lake.
I thought it was bill burr for a second
Nice video glad I found your channel. We’re planning our first canoe camping trip this year. I can’t wait. It should be a blast. Nothing as nice as yours trip.
Thanks for dialing in Carl. Attitude is 90% of the trip. I love the slowing down of life and getting off the computer. I believe you will have a blast. Good luck.
Get an in-line filter, a little tubing, and a dirty jug and a clean jug. We use 5 gal collapsible jugs, grab water on your way into camp, hang dirty jug from a tree and start filtering. By the time you have camp set up- you’ll have 5 gal of clean water! Of course there are complete systems and such, but we just bought the filter and threw everything else together. Our favorite saying around camp is “ I’m making water”
love that line...."I'm making water..." Thanks Curtis
Great video! Heading to the BWCA this early spring for a first solo trip. I can't wait to be up there!
Good luck Justin. Me and the big Bro (first timer) will head back up for this coming Memorial Weekend.
I was the guy who talked to ya in the beginning at the launch, glad to see you guys had a fun and safe trip!
Hey!! Thanks for checking in Jlama. Yeah, always a great trip if we don't get drenched.
lifesaver water filter is the best
I'll look it up Wayne, thanks for responding
When I seen that there was a TRUE NORTH LOSERS notification this morning, I was happier than a pig 🐷 in slop. Great video Raney and Steve. Really enjoyed the conversation and cooking,as well as the fishing. Cmon Raney, I sure would like at least a video a month. LOL. Tammy, the vegetables that you created were great. Gives me an idea of what to prepare when I start grilling this year, so thank you. And Sophie’s editing was spot on!! Thanks for sharing and greetings from Chicago and ATB Mike.
Thanks for the comments mfav!! Would love to kick out more video more often....got to hold a job for a few more years!!😀
Great video and the editor deserves a raise.
Thank you! I agree :)
Ka-wish-i- wi, just sayin.
Good vid guys. 1st of yours I've watched. Lived in Northern MN for a while. I've done BWCA and Quetico. Both great experiences. Less people in Quetico. Keep up with the good content. Like your style.
Love this video!!! Are you using a GoPro and shooting in 4K? Awesome quality
Hi Say, yes, GoPro 10 in 5K exclusively. Would love to integrate a DSLR at some point due to the wide angle of the GoPro but it's just so convenient, small, and portable. Thanks for the comments.
The music you referred to (Oh Yea, Yello) is also in 2 other movies, Opportunity Knocks and She's Out of Control. Looks like a great trip. I'd be curious about what lakes/route you took...
thanks BigHammer. We put in at entry point #37, then portaged north up to Lake Polly (pretty much the only obvious route) where we stayed for three nights. Very tough fishing, but you see we caught one lunch's worth with a 2.5 pounder. Very warm and pretty heavy with black flies. Definitely needed the nets. Beautiful area.
How do you keep your meat cooled?
hi user....for any warm weather trip, a soft side insulated cooler with frozen meat will last easily to dinner with a morning departure. After that, you take your chances.
Love the content!!! Need more Reney and Nick!!!!!!!!
Congrats on your hook-up my friend!!!!
I felt that pain when you recognized you realized you forgot the onions and peppers as well as the sleeping pad. 🥴 My first trip to the BWCA I forgot all my plastics for fishing and only had jig heads. Now every trip I go I actually pack a separate bag for overnight camping the day before we leave so I don't touch anything that I am bringing on the trip. I'm paranoid like that, but that's because I forget stuff in my everyday like. Can't tell you how many times I leave something at home I need for work and have to go back. 🤦🏻♂
I now don’t feel so bad about the trips I take with my sons. You guys have as many mishaps as we do!😅 Hoping to make that entry point next summer. Great video
Thanks David. Never fails...I lay my stuff out on the living room floor 3-4 days in advance. I actually remember taking my air mattress sack out of my big duffle thinking it was a sleeping bag liner. Duh. Anyhoo, have a great trip with your boys.
