I love to keep check lists of everything so it should come as no surprise that I have a Boundary Waters Checklist. This checklist contains many important items that need to be packed before a BWCA canoe camping trip, things to do before I leave on my trip and items I have to do when I get home from a canoe trip.
My Boundary Waters Checklist of things I have to do before a canoe camping trip is relatively short. I make sure I leave an itinerary of my BWCA travel plans with someone, have my fishing license and travel permit. You would be shocked to know how many times I almost leave for a canoe camping adventure without my BWCA permit. I also like to make sure my canoe has current registration on it, I have a printout of the latest weather forecast and know approximately when sunrise and sunset times are. With this all complete it's time to pack for the actual BWCA canoe trip.
Trying to remember what all to bring on a BWCA trip can be difficult so I reccommend looking at our website. We list all of the canoe camping gear needed to go on a Boundary Waters canoe trip. In addition we have a BWCA Checklist of items we suggest you bring along of your own. These two lists will help you when packing for your canoe trip.
Upon my return to civilization I immediately grab a cold Diet Coke. Until this happens I can't function correctly. The after BWCA canoe trip checklist is also short. Be sure to contact your loved ones to make sure they know you are out of the woods safely. Then you can remove all garbage & food waste out of your pack so it doesn't begin to smell if it hasn't already. If any of your gear is damp and even if it isn't then it's a great idea to hang up your gear and let it dry out so it doesn't grow mold or get musty. One other thing to do is to update your Boundary Waters Checklist so you can add things you wish you would have brought along and delete things you didn't use.
Keep in mind this Boundary Waters checklist when you're planning and preparing for your next BWCA canoe trip. It will help keep you organized and it will make your Boundary Waters canoe trip all the more enjoyable.
