Greetings Everyone,

My name is Seth from Nashwauk, Mn. In the 70s and 80s my parents winter camped in the BW often, unfortunately they were older parents when they had me so I never explored with them.

Fortunately I moved from the Twin Cities to the Iron Range in 2011 with my girlfriend - now wife. We have two girls, and last year I brought my oldest girl, Brooke (age 2 at the time) to Snowbank Lake and Lake Disappointment. It was, by far, my favorite BW trip out of the 10 under my belt.

Throughout my trips to the BW I've always brought a tent but would mostly sleep in my Hammock. This year I have 6 permits for the spring, summer, and fall, and I plan to hang for all of them. Leaving the tent at home will be a great decision come spring - I can feel it.

This website is great and I look forward to chatting with some of you. Currently I'm looking for some tarp advice, but otherwise the gear I have has been packed and re-packed out of pure excitement for the first trip of the season, EP64 E. Bearskin Lake.

Regards,

Seth Young
