Wilderness Grace

We start with detailed individual trip planning and routing. Then we will review your gear and food lists as we have pre-packed for your party. For those units spending the night before their trip with us in our bunk rooms, we will have a pre-trip continental breakfast the following morning.

Your food and equipment packs will include:

A large selection of menu items. We feature both RICHMOOR and BACKPACKER’S PANTRY freeze dried foods. Next, we make many additions to provide quality trail tested meals. On the 1st night out on the canoe trails, we even include ½ pound Certified Angus Beef™ steaks or two 5-ounce angus burgers, with fresh hash brown potatoes. Condiments & cleaning items round out a great food pack!

Ultra-light ALUMACRAFT canoes: the 17-foot "Quetico" ultra-lightweight model weighs in at only 64 pounds ... the top choice for the first timer, as well as someone who wants a quality canoe with a straight tracking center keel, or a stable fishing platform to cast from. (These aren't the 85 pound scout camp version). We then add STEARNS jacket-style (not "horse collar") life vests for all participants. Rounding out the watercraft, we add ultra-light aluminum shaft / cycolac blade paddles.

SLUMBERJACK sleeping bags with DuPont's Hollofil II fiber. Caprolan ripstop nylon is used for both the cover and the lining. The fill construction utilizes an offset, double layer method which produces maximum loft at a minimum of weight. These lightly nylon tapered bags are warm to 30 degrees. For our customers who are over 6' or of a stocky build, we have extra-long rectangular bags ... just let us know when reserving!

THERM-A-REST air/foam sleeping pads for everyone: adult leaders and the boys alike.

MIRRO ultra-lightweight cookkits, complete kitchen utensils, cleaning supplies, along with rope to hang each of your food packs at night. Personal eating supplies such as knife/fork/spoon, plates, and cups are included.

COLEMAN “Sportster” 1-burner stove. This white gas liquid fuel stove provides clean heat regardless of the weather or possible fire-ban situations and is included as a back-up to your normal cooking fire. Even fuel is included at no additional charge!
Nylon rain fly for dry dining on a rainy evening.

An ultra-light camp saw (SHARP!)

EUREKA's "TIMBERLINE: DELUXE OUTFITTER SERIES" TENTS. We believe, however, that Eureka's standards for comfort are not up to ours! For this reason, we never put more than three people in a "Four-Man" tent, nor more than 4 adults / 5 boys in a "Six-Man" tent.

Custom built KONDOS food and gear packs made to our demanding specifications.

Protective plastic liners are supplied to keep food and supplies as well as the sleeping bags dry.

Hot showers after your trip.

Private automobile / van parking at our base during your trip.

Each travel group of 6 to 9 people receives a $50 credit on any van transportation
to/from any listed BWCA entry/exit points.
 


* There are many differing rules set by local BSA Councils
on the use of backpacking stoves.
Check with your local office on the type of stovesthat may be used
and who in your travel party is allowed to use them.

North Country recommends that only adults fuel or operate gas stoves.
