Gear & Supplies for August 2021 Trip

Hello Everyone! I finally got my trip booked to go to Isle Royale this coming August after our trip got cancelled last year due to Covid-19. Originally, we were going to spend four days on the Island in June 2020, but plans changed after Covid and we decided to tack on an additional day to make the ...

Re: What Food Is Best?

Hey everyone! Thanks for so many responses! I totally agree, now that I look back on some of my trips, Clif bars will get old! I’ll take up some of the suggestions that were posted for sure! I don’t have any experience dehydrating food. I’m a little nervous about trying that one out, but who knows! ...

Re: Will I need a sleeping bag liner?

Awesome! Thanks everyone! I’m now looking into specific kinds of sleeping pads. My husband just bought the Sleepngo pad so I’m going to test it to see if I like it or not! If it seems like it’s going to do the job, I won’t go with the liner. I do sleep with lots of clothes, and nice warm wool socks ...

Will I need a sleeping bag liner?

My husband and I are planning our first trip to Isle Royal this June. We are shooting for June 18-22, but our dates are not set in stone yet. I have been looking into different options for gear and one thing I don’t see addresses very often is sleeping bag liners. I know the weather in June can resu...

Re: June 2020 Itinerary Review

Thank you all so much for your responses! I totally agree, I would love the Pipe Dream itinerary option the most, but right now it's not looking like I'm going to be able to get that extra day that I want from my husband! I will for sure be skipping East Chickenbone as it does sound like a bit of pa...

Re: Platypus GravityWorks 4.0 Filter

This is awesome news! I was hoping not to buy something new, as I really like the Platypus! It has always worked great for me! I appreciate the tip about testing it out before we go again! Man would that be awful to find out it wasn’t in working order when we got to the island!

What Food Is Best?

Hello Everyone! I'm planning my first trip to Isle Royal in June 2020. I have been doing tons of research and I wanted some insights into what kinds of food people are typically bringing? First, I do have a Jetboil that will be coming to the island with my husband and I. This is the first time my hu...

We decided to splurge and we are going to take the seaplane in from Houghton, MI. We are going to be the first flight out on a Thursday. I do know that the...
