Quetico camping trip?




wild boar


So I'm going with my brothers and dad to the Boundary Waters around Quetico Provincial Park. I've never really been camping and I can't remember the last time I slept in a tent outside overnight. We will be there for 4 nights. I'm really excited and I know that it's gonna be some tough, rough work, but I really don't know what to expect besides that. Can you give me some pointers, tips, precautions, or personal experiences that you have? I would really appreciate it, thanks.


Answer
Ya u sure are right! But it's never like the movies about camping! so maybe picking up fire wood for about a half a hour is the worst it's ever gonna get! You should relax and enjoy the trip. If you are not good at swimming stay away from water because sometimes they have currents. You might what to bring tometo sause and yes I have had a personal experience from that. Lol!

Dragonfly


ok so me and my partner have a 2.5 year old and im due for another baby in Feb
we've always wanted to do lots of outdoors activities etc and we're thinking that when the baby is a couple months old we might go on a weekend camping trip
(keep in mind we have NO supplies, no tent, no nothing) so from experienced family campers can you give me a list of Must Haves list, you can include some nice to have things in too i guess.
just all the essentials that you couldnt go without and made the experience funner and easier
thanks :)
