  Mona Gauthier



Mona, AKA Woodswoman, led her first trip to the BWCA in August of 1983. At that time, she was recent college graduate with limited resources and made do with gear and equipment that was available. Inspired by the peace, beauty, adventure, and challenge of the BWCA, she vowed to return. And she did. In 2000 she established a small outfitting business, MSB Wilderness Adventures, which is focused on introducing the BWCA to city folk who seek wilderness experiences. In 2023 she led her 63rd BWCA trip.

 Dehydrating Food with Confidence
BWCA - main floor Sat 9:30am-10:15am 
Dehydrating food is an ancient, effective, and nutritious way of preserving food. It’s a perfect way to lighten the food pack and still have great meals while avoiding the cost of commercial products. Basic to advanced dehydration techniques will be shared, including video clips of dehydrating eggs, sour cream, and guacamole. Develop confidence as you dehydrate and apply methods to ward off the five enemies that impact the shelf life of your products.
