If you've ever been to the Boundary Waters and competed for campsites on a popular lake, fussed with fire on a rainy day, slept in a wet tent or been bugged by bugs, bears or rodents, this fast-paced session is for you. You'll learn how to get away from the crowd, choose essential gear, stay dry when it rains all day, bear-proof your camp while complying with the new federal law, make a one match fire when the woods are wet with rain, and more. We'll check out equipment that works, and that which doesn't. Included, is a brief description of the UTM (Universal Trans Mercator) system of navigation and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area maps that utilize this system. Based on Cliff's book, Boundary Waters Canoe Camping, 3rd Edition.

Cliff discovered canoes at the age of 12, in a rustic Scout camp set deep in the Michigan woods. He became hooked on the wild outdoors, and by age 14, he had read every book in print on wilderness travel. He went camping (with friends or alone) nearly every weekend. When he got bored in school, he drew pictures of canoes, tents, knives, rifles and axes in his notebook. Cliff kept doing and learning. He discovered that many of the camping procedures he'd read about in books were wrong. If you've read Cliff's books, you know his advice often clashes with "accepted ways". MY LAST PICTURE SHOW is the story of Cliff Jacobson's amazing wilderness life. It'll make you smile, laugh, maybe cry. Trust me, you won't be bored!
