Hello fellow Island hikers. I usually hike the first week of June, but this year I am trying the first week of July. Which end of the island would you recommend would maybe be better or worse for bugs.
Thanks

Does anyone else have any issues with their Keens or teva camp shoes stinking up the place after you wear them a while? I have tried washing them, sun drying them, and soaking them. It seems the smell comes back right after you wear them. I know I must not be the only one who has this problem. Any s...

There are no wolf problems, have never been people problems, so I see no need for pepper spray.

I bring cotton socks to sleep in at night, and a good warm hat. as far as a puffy coat, I do bring a down vest, or a polartec fleece vest, and a puffy down winter coat that squishes down small.

Hello Welcome to the island. I have several tents for different seasons, and I agree with a 2 person tent for 1 person and a 3 person tent for 2 people. If I can suggest, watch things like craigslist. I have picked up different tents for very little cost to try out, and if you dont like them, resell...

HI Welcome to the island. I myself will be traversing Isle Royale first week of June. From past experience, since I always go at this time is to over prepare for cold. Nights will be very very cold. I take a sleeping bag liner with a zero degree mummy bag. If you sleep in too much you will sweat and...
