Boundary Waters Canoe Area Video Podcast » ice http://www.bwcacast.com Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:44:38 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 HOWTO – Setting up a Tip-Up http://www.bwcacast.com/2011/01/howto-setting-up-a-tip-up/ http://www.bwcacast.com/2011/01/howto-setting-up-a-tip-up/#comments Wed, 26 Jan 2011 18:39:07 +0000 Bill http://www.bwcacast.com/?p=535 Winter is upon us and it seems its already over half way done.  If you’ve been out ice fishing I hope you’ve been successful and enjoyed the time outdoors.  For those of you who haven’t been out ice fishing before we’ve put together this little HOW TO video showing you the basic steps in setting up a Tip-Up.  This is a great way to set a line through the ice and still have the opportunity to move around instead of being tied down to your fishing hole.  Check the regulations in you area because you may be able to have more than one line in the water using this method.  We hope you find this video helpful and get the opportunity to catch some nice fish this winter.

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.

We also talk about how we set up our camp with our canvas tent and titanium wood stove as well as that basics of filtering water in the winter.  Join us on day two of our winter camping trip into Basswood Lake.

We have a canvas tent and a titanium stove for our shelter.  With our sleds loaded up with warm gear we trudge across frozen lakes and snow covered portages into the night.The temperatures were quite comfortable with forecasts of high 30s to low 40s.  We caught a glimps of a lone wolf lurking along the edge of Wood Lake right at dusk.  We hiked on following fresh wolf tracks all the way to Good Lake where we set up camp for the evening.

When we finally made it into the Devils Cascade the hike was totally worth it.  Clumps of white snow scattered through the running water.  Giant icicles hanging from the cliff wall, and beams of sunlight filtering through the tree branches.
