  • It's super annoying how so many of these podcasts are about how evil white people are ruining the world for everyone. How about do some episodes that are actually about the outdoors and all of the beauty we are blessed with. Maybe some people don't want to camp or paddle. It's not all some evil white guy's fault.

  • The Cory Dack episode was nothing to do with the boundary waters. It was only an advertisement for DEI and her personal agendas. Shame on the editors for not seeing this blatant political highjacking.

  • BWCAW Duck hunting trip

    I listened to this podcast sitting by a campfire in my backyard. The local coyotes were whooping it up providing good background vocals. It really whetted my appetite for the spring opening trip into the Quetico next year.

  • Really easygoing & atmospheric podcast

    So enjoyed the first episode of this podcast. Came to it via the UK’s Countryfile Magazine podcast (The Plodcast) mentioned in their recent episode. Going to really enjoy listening to the rest of these. Don’t know the area at all or anything about canoeing but this podcast brings both to life in such an enjoyable easygoing way.

Keep it Wild - Get the Lead Out to Save Loons
Q: Can you say more about why this program is needed right now?
The program addresses the high vulnerability of loons to lead, explains how lead from tackle enters the loon's system, and emphasizes practical steps for anglers to switch to safer alternatives, while also pointing out the lack of broad restrictions in Minnesota and the potential for safer choices to protect wildlife.
Keep it Wild - Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center, and Keeping Wild Bears, Wild
Q: What does bear-resistant certification involve and where does it go if approved?
If a product passes, I submit a report, video, and photos to the IGBC, who then issue a certification letter with a unique number and provide the product logo for branding and consumer confidence.
Keep it Wild - Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center, and Keeping Wild Bears, Wild
Q: Would you take us through your test protocol? Kano, what do you do when you're testing a new product for bear-ness?
We start with a pretest evaluation to ensure the product is safe for bears, document hazards, and check that locking mechanisms and latches are sound; then we place it in the exhibit, observe the bears for up to 60 minutes, and review footage for pass/fail criteria based on tolerances set by IGBC.

Q: How was your team dynamic affected by external expectations?
The girls discussed how they balanced their awareness of being role models with the brutal realities of their journey, highlighting moments of humor around potential headlines.
