Rule 1: It is forbidden to lose one's precious man-child on the trail! errrr portage ie grueling rainsoaked path between lakes! Naturally, I was chief cook, skillet washer and tent striker. A canoe with 80 lb Duluth pack on your back for 5 miles..... = NO JOY!

I totally want to canoe the BWCA. Just disappear for a week.

When I was a kid, I used to canoe the Namekagon for diabetic camp. Great memories, what an adventure.
