A light breeze is blowing and the crystal clear waters are beckoning. Jim and I begin our trip along the Border Route much like we had the year before. Traveling along the Royal River you are surrounded by cliffs and lush vegetation. The wild rice in some areas fills the horizon. Join us as we paddle from John Lake to North Fowl Lake.

We had two sponsors that helped make this trip possible.  The first was Piragis North Woods Company.  They are an outfitter for both summer and winter trips.  They provided us with a SnowTrecker Tent and a wood stove for keeping our tent nice and warm.  They offer guided winter and summer trips along with all of the gear and supplies you may need.  They are very down to earth people who are excited out spending time in the wilderness.  If your looking for someone to get you started on your first trip into the BWCAW or your 100th Piragis will help make it a fun successful adventure.

The second sponsor was Black River Sleds.  They are the creator of the Snow Walker Toboggan.  We recently did a HowTo episode on putting together one of Black River Sleds toboggan kits, and it was this sled that we used on our winter camping trip.  These toboggans are durable and designed for one purpose… Getting your gear into the back country.  If you are looking for a great toboggan for your next winter camping trip checkout Black River Sleds, they will set you up with the perfect solution.
