Format:Paperback
As someone who has spent many years camping, Cliff Jacobson is absolutely correct that hanging your food doesn't work because (surprise!) bears can and do climb trees to get at food packs. Better to encase it in a sturdy airtight plastic bin and hide the food away from the camp. What bears can't smell, bears won't go after. This an other good practical and effective advise on canoing and camping "up north" can be found in this book. Highly recommended.
Format:Paperback
An excellent book that touches on all aspects of canoe camping in the boundary waters. The author interjects humor throughout as he provides the reader with excellent advice. The book is filled with wonderful illustrations that show you exactly how or what to do, which text alone could not provide. The book also has great appendixes that provide checklists, equipment suppliers, a map index, and even a copy of a permit! Overall, I feel if you buy only one book for the Boundary Waters, this should be it.

Typcial of his book is his suggestion of hiding your food in the woods and not to hang a bear bag, since bears would not think to look in the woods for your food. The book was good for many laughs between me and my friends, if you are interested in that, then buy the book.
