@@crazy4beatles there are people who love water bladders. I however prefer nalgene water bottles. Nalgenes hold up to hot water if you want to put hot water in it and use it for warmth in a sleeping bag at night. They also have measurements on the bottle to measure water for meals. And they are easier to clean. There are lots of pros and cons both ways!
Yes! I’ve thought about camping with the most basic gear I can think of, or only what I can find at a thrift store, to prove a point… maybe one day. But you really don’t need all the fancy gear. Fancy gear can make camping easier/more comfortable… but you can camp without that stuff too.
Thankyou for being clear about the blue barrel not being indestructible by bears. Thanks for mentioning to wash hair away from water even if it is “natural”. You probably bring a first aid kit. Thanks for the video!
As a father of two daughters about to enter puberty, thanks for mentioning tampons etc. Too many of these types of videos are by men. It's awesome to have representation my daughters can connect with, and reminders to bring items I might forget.
Yes! I grew up camping with boys and men and was never taught what works best and what my options were when having my period. Hope these videos can help a bit. I wish every mom or dad who takes their daughters camping would pack tampons/pads/etc. when packing the family toiletries and toilet paper. A necessary staple in the camping gear. :)
1. I''m a guy and I won't leave home without my Sea-to-Summit Pocket Shower. I use it for everything: dishes, washing my hair, washing the dog when it gets into nasty stuff...it's awesome. 2. I won't leave home without my jetboil minimo (and an 8" frying pan if I'm going to be cooking). Frying pan can cook steaks, vegetables, eggs, bacon. The minimo can heat soup, and of course boil water. Chef Monty Boca is a good source on youtube for fresh backpacking meals instead of dehydrated all the time. 3. Nalgene Bottle 4. Zebralight headlamp 5. COFFEE! I just did 2 weeks camping in Colorado and bought the expensive little tin of Starbucks instant coffee, but I MUCH prefer the Aeropress. It is a necessity for me from now on. 6. A few videos on my phone how to tie various knots. 7. Garmin inReach 8. Leatherman multi-tool 9. St Croix traveling fishing pole 10. Kevlar Canoe if doing the BWCA 11. Never leave home without my Glock 19 with Underwood Xtreme Defender Ammo 12. My dog 13. If I'm using a cooler, I bring a down jacket to cover the cooler, it gets me at least 1 extra day of ice. At night in the mountains I would take the jacket off the cooler and throw it over the dog :)
I bring individual McKenzie or Fisher maps for lakes I am planning on visiting. I bring overall map of entire BWCA in case of storm blow down or fire (bad stuff I know).
I am a creature of habit and grew up stopping at the Chocolate Moose. I still stop there when I can and haven’t branched out much. I’m sure there are other great options too. Also, there are a few great coffee shops in Ely.
My first camera was a film camera! I am a photographer/videographer now and use digital of course, but film is a lot of fun. I may be getting old I guess😂
And a water bottle! Don’t forget to pack a water bottle ☺️
was just about to ask if a water bottle or bladder is a better option.

Nice list. I like that you don't push too many trendy/expensive things that some youtubers make it seem like you can't live without.

The knots on your phone are a great idea! A a nalgene is the best water bottle in my opinion. Thanks for all of the added ideas and gear!
I have a small sized copy of Huck Finn that goes on my trips. Charcoal and water spots are just provenance.
Great choice!
Hello from our local Minnesota UA-cam channel! Great video. Thanks for sharing!
I bring individual McKenzie or Fisher maps for lakes I am planning on visiting. I bring overall map of entire BWCA in case of storm blow down or fire (bad stuff I know).
This is a very good tip.
Great info Jodi, so helpful for potential travellers such as myself. Many thanks.
Thanks!
What kind of material is that map made from? It looked like fabric, but I can't say that I've seen a fabric map before.
I cant wait to go canoe camping with you!
You're invited!
Where did you get that cool map? Love your content!
True North Maps!
Very well presented and covered!!
Thank you!
Hi Jodi thanks for another awesome video, just wondering if you have any ely restaurant suggestions for a quick stop before the paddle? Thanks
