Is it hard to find trees to stretch a hammock and tarp in the burn and blowdown area? Planning a trip in September in the Lake Four and Insula area. Thanks

You can generally find something but you may have to skip that campsite you counted on and travel a little further to find it.
Once you're lost in twilight's blue, you don't find your way, the way finds you.
You might be able to find some burned standing timber, but I wouldn’t hang on that. I went thru the burn North of Kawishiwi last year and it was pretty barren. The good news is that the burn ended when we got to Lake Poly. I would check with the ranger and see where the non burned areas are plan on making it there to camp, or bring a tent as a backup.

Thanks for tips, I will check with Ranger and maybe adjust route.
Man, I'm jealous. I went on my first trip up there this past June and it is such a cool place. I went in off the Gunflint (EP47). No burned areas, but I had a hard time finding a hang spot because there were too many trees! Lol! Made it work though and sure had a great trip. Looking forward to your trip report after you go.
