BWCA Snowbank Trail

On this trip, I navigate 25 miles around Snowbank, Disappointment, and other lakes in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA). On this 2.5 day hike, we started in rain and things cleared up for a couple nights of great camping. The trip wasn't without adversity. Mud up to my knees and bush whacking at dusk to find a campsite made things interesting. I was joined on this hike by my buddy Rob Pelton. You can check him out on youtube and instagram.

The Kekekabic Trail is actually 38.5 miles.

Thanks for the entertainment. You're the Steve Carell of backpacking. That's a complement.

[@MidwestBackpacker]

I’ve heard that for years! 😂 when I was 36 and had 3 kids the 40 Year Old Virgin came out and I’d get stopped on the street. 😂

The bear poop wolf track has to be one of the rarest occurrences in nature.

[@mikeghost7788]

I enjoy an overcast sky, it's a nice break from both sun and rain.
That sunset on the 2nd night was amazing!!!

[@longwinters4304]

You are a backpacking machine. Always enjoy your vids.

[@SkitterComic]

Is a bear poop with a wolf track inside it some kind of "wilderness Inception"?

[@ghostrunnerco6791]

Nicki is a national treasure🕺🎉

For the Avenza Maps… in order to see your spot on the map… do you have to have purchased a subscription with Avenza, or does the free map, and free app work?

[@MidwestBackpacker]

Free

[@lindseyaltermatt]

Awesome! The Wild Map is SOOOO cool and detailed.

[@huskyladsfc532]

What’s your favorite of the BWCA trials and why?

[@MidwestBackpacker]

Depend on the length you want. You can’t beat a good overnighter on the Angleworm.

Jeremy your videos are awesome man, that was great when your buddy was like “I’m on Amazon prime !” Lol.
Hey man, you gotta do a video on how in h* you are able to go hiking so much ? How do you get the ok from the wife?! My wife lets me go on about 1-2 trips a year or else it’s divorce !
