  • 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.
