CANOE ADVENTURE IN THE BWCA || Canoeing, Fishing, Camping

Shot in October 2023, Reney and his friend (and honorary loser) Steve take to the BWCA for a few days of camping, fishing, and canoeing. And trying to find the bathroom.

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?!?

[@truenorthlosers]

Yes!! Solidarity!! Thanks for the support!

[@reneylanglois699]

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.

Great video and the editor deserves a raise.

[@truenorthlosers]

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.

Hope this is a fishing redemption trip.

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.

[@reneylanglois699]

Thanks for the background Dave.

[@JlamaEditing]

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!

[@reneylanglois699]

Hey!! Thanks for checking in Jlama. Yeah, always a great trip if we don't get drenched.

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”

[@reneylanglois699]

love that line...."I'm making water..." Thanks Curtis

[@justin.brown777]

Great video! Heading to the BWCA this early spring for a first solo trip. I can't wait to be up there!

[@reneylanglois699]

Good luck Justin. Me and the big Bro (first timer) will head back up for this coming Memorial Weekend.

[@philsantillan]

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.

lifesaver water filter is the best
