I've rarely had people stop in at my campsite, we usually hang a clothes line out front so they know the site is taken.

We've swung by on our boats if we saw people at a site we wanted and asked when they planned on leaving.


For water, i usually go with big groups. Boiling would be a paint.

We bring two of these: https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-5-Gallon-Collapsible-Water-Carrier/dp/B000088O9Y/

picked up a hose to filter it through: https://www.amazon.com/Sawyer-Products-SP128-Filtration-System/dp/B00FA2RLX2

Then I just take the dirty 5 gallon bucket down to the water, fill it up, and then hang it from a tree and drain it into a clean water tote. The clean tote is used for filling nalgenes and such. Then if you just need a little water to brush your teeth grab it from the dirty bucket hose.


I dug through some photos and found a picture of my setup in the background.

as for the wind... Paddle slow, tie your gear into your canoe. We use Gear Ties by nite ize to secure most things.

I've paddled in some sketchy stuff.

I bring a small weather radio with me because I appreciate the updates. I haven’t charged the battery in 3 years.

I would personally accept that you will get wet, and your waterproof boots will turn into a pool that never dries.

I've been wearing these Merrell's for the past couple years portaging, and the 6 years before that a very similar pair. Then I bring up an extra pair of old sneakers as my dry shows while at camp. I've got a couple (insane) buddies who wear Vibram toe shoes portaging and sneakers at camp. I'm patiently waiting for them to snap an ankle. This is all going through gun flint portages.

I read this book while in Quetico one year. Every canoeist should read it while on a trip. Cold Summer Wind
