Patrick BaumanGUEST
Yeah, we've been doing this for a long time.
Patrick BaumanGUEST
I mean, the first time I went out and felt like, "Oh, I'm in, like, true wilderness, and this is something that I haven't done before," and we had to really focus on the gear, and it felt, like, overwhelming and no idea what we were doing was probably on a trip to the Boundary Waters, and I was maybe, I don't know, 12 years old or something at the time.
Patrick BaumanGUEST
That was, that was probably the first, like, true, you know, wilderness area five-day trip or whatever that I had gone on.
Patrick BaumanGUEST
And I totally remember back then, like, the, the feeling of, you know, it seems really daunting of like, "Oh, what do I need to bring?" And there's so much information out there, and sometimes the information's conflicting and, you know, you feel like you're doing everything wrong.
Mark BlockGUEST
You know, as I mentioned, you mentioned Seattle City Light.
Mark BlockGUEST
You know, these are these are crews that they might drive two or three hours to very remote areas in the boundary in the Boundary Waters area.
Mark BlockGUEST
It's not Boundary Waters in the boundary with Canada and where they could travel four or five hours to a very remote location where even cell service can be spotty.
Mark BlockGUEST
So you need to make sure that when they're in those kind of scenarios that they have the funding they need for those trips to make sure that it's not a distraction.
Megan BillingsleyMODERATOR
Yeah, absolutely.
David MylesGUEST
The painful moment became part of the story, but it didn't get to be the whole story.
David MylesGUEST
You know, after the funeral was done and my family came out, we went to cemeteries, you know, my parents and sister who weren't there, there with Jesus, pictures, we went to a restaurant with family, and then I got in a car and drove with my two oldest son to spend a week in the Boundary Waters.
David MylesGUEST
What's amazing that happened after, for the next... nine to 10 months, was I had this unusually tangible awareness of God's presence.
David MylesGUEST
And even as I was talking about with you guys at the break, before it came back, guys, I cannot duplicate this.
Brad HansonHOST
Last time, I shared one of the most personal episodes I've recorded for this podcast.
Brad HansonHOST
I told you about Charlie Stainer, about summers at Many Points Scout Reservation, about paddling through the Boundary Waters, and about a seemingly simple question that eventually became the Miami Connection.
Brad HansonHOST
People, places, questions.
Brad HansonHOST
But while preparing that episode, I realized something I hadn't consciously recognized before.
Kip VeithGUEST
... it's a lot different with the fly rod versus a gear.
Bobby ColeHOST
So Lanny, you s- you've fished the Boundary Waters, I believe.
Kip VeithGUEST
Yes.
Bobby ColeHOST
And they've been in the news a lot.
Kip VeithGUEST
Yeah, Boundary Waters, and, uh, I think the Canadian side's called Quetico.
Bobby ColeHOST
So d-
Kip VeithGUEST
Yeah
Kip VeithGUEST
Um, you know, and I did catch, I thought it was a pike, um, but maybe it was a muskie.
Bill SherckHOST
And it's been magical because... um patrick and joanna who i have in the boat they totally cheat we're supposed to mix things up and have different anglers every year but they always yeah you are bill the same crew on their application so we fish together their buddies ethan and matt jump in with brady and this year requested them again we've built these relationships with these people um And what I've explained to the boys, and tell me if this is a little too thick or feels too rich, but this is the big fishing trip.
Bill SherckHOST
For these campers, this is like their version of going to whatever, Lac Seul in Canada or the big trip to the Boundary Waters.
Bill SherckHOST
This is their trip.
Scott ReisnerGUEST
Yes, it is.

Verna NezBegay VolkerHOST
Yeah, I think too, like especially what's happening here in this current administration of just, you know, uranium drilling, things like that that are happening on native lands.
Verna NezBegay VolkerHOST
And, you know, there's people who really rely, especially here in Minnesota, on I'm not sure if you ever heard of the Boundary Waters.
Verna NezBegay VolkerHOST
Like, you know, that is, you know, Ojibwe lands where they do a lot of harvesting rice.
Verna NezBegay VolkerHOST
And a lot of times people just think, well, it's going to create jobs.
Fitz CahallGUEST
... like you gotta start of being like, what connects us versus what divides us? And those for me, those three demands, like the no sell-offs, the no backroom deals, the no giveaways, like that comes back to, to just like what we've seen.
Fitz CahallGUEST
It connects so many of the landscapes that have been impacted, Boundary Waters, Big Bend, Bears Ears, Grand Staircase-Escalante, the Roadless Rules areas, like Oak Flat in Arizona.
Fitz CahallGUEST
Uh, I am forgetting places upon places, right? Data centers in the deserts in the southwest.
Fitz CahallGUEST
Like all these things all fall under those three demands, is the American people have been removed from this process, and right now we say, "Enough." And so for me, I built those because I felt like when I went and asked people, I wanted as many people that could participate to do so, and if that's common ground, I'm all for it.
Mark WilliamsGUEST
And you're going to see a huge explosion that are already happening now of device-free spas or vacations.
Mark WilliamsGUEST
And part of the reason I developed Boot Camp was because the Boundary Waters is in northern Minnesota.
Mark WilliamsGUEST
And every year when we go up there with five, six guys, we've done this for 20 years, but there's no phones allowed.
Mark WilliamsGUEST
You can use it for photos and videos, but you have to have all your cell phone stuff turned off.
