  • Did a quick trip into the boundary waters wilderness area in northern Minnesota with my dog Skeeter. It was a fun time, we covered a lot of miles and explored an area I hadn’t been to before. #diy #outdoors #homestead

    The Boundary Waters is truly an experience. My family has explored the Boundary Waters and Voyagers National Park since I was 7 years old, I am now 67 with only 3 years missed.

    The most loving and honouring thing you can do for Cierra and your baby is to wear a life jacket and even one for Skeeter, good on you Kyle! 🤗 Thanks for sharing your little journey, really impressive.

    Skeeter really turned out to be a great dog... super low maintenance as he never goes off on his own. He knows to stay within range of where you are at.

    I started going into the BWCA in 1972, my first biology professor was avid outdoors man. He took our classes up there 3 times a year. I continued going until my mid 40's. Always loved my time up there.

    Morning Kyle, …it’s always good to go on a boundary trip with you for a day or two. You and Skeeter are always great company and always show us a great time and as for the night fire well why bother you can always eat your steak raw but making cold coffee in a morning is a big no no. We’d be worse than a bear with a sore head all day and that’d ruin the whole trip. Yep it’s all about getting the priorities right that makes the trip a worthy trip and for all the right reasons.😅😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 thanks for the memories Kyle.😊😊😊😊😊

    To go out into the wilderness, kayaking with just a map, and camping all by yourself, in addition to building cabins... you've definitely lived before this life. This isn't your first time here.
    I've never done anything like this. Wish I had someone growing up that could've taken me on such trips. You'd make a great father!
