    "Why aren't you melting snow" - he ready my mind! With the right pot and stove it can be very efficient and easy, especially with all that nice snow. Something I just dind't get experience much this winter unfortunately.

    Good times out there!

    Sweet video and gear. Hey I was going ask if the snow was deep. But then I remembered that you said, that indeed, it was deep. Hahaha

    Great Video. That deep snow really makes it tough to make many miles. I think I would try some big long traditional snowshoes. May help you stay on top of the snow.

    Thanks for sharing.

    With an eight day trip did you consider packing trail sections without the pulks first? Looks like the snow was that wet heavy stuff. Great drone work giving an eagle's eye view of the BWCA.

    Whooooo...that wet snow can be a bear to break trail while pulking in the woods.
    It is deep up there.
    Very impressed with you fellers.

    Good stuff, but I'm gonna be "that guy" and say that it's my understanding that drones are not allowed in the BWCA, I could be wrong. Hate to see anyone get in trouble over a youtube video. Good trip though, beautiful area.
    Good luck,
