Hello! For starters I’m going to say that I am not an experienced camper whatsoever so that’s why I am reaching out for help. I am hoping for some advice and wondering if I’m overthinking lol. But I saw that there are fires up north in the north shore. My friends and I (though mostly them) planned to camp in Finland this coming weekend, I told them that if the fires persist my partner and I will not be going. They haven’t responded but now I’m wondering if I’m overthinking the situation and should just suck it up or what. I’ve never camped up north or dealt with wildfires. But I feel like if there is an announcement that campfires are discouraged then camping should just be rescheduled? As it’s unsafe?

Hi all, I need help planning a small 1-2 night backcountry trip with my husband and our pup. We don’t have any experience with backcountry camping and not much camping in general (at least in adulthood). He was a boy-scout growing up and I used to RV camp a lot growing up. We have trekked into so more remote fishing spots before but never stayed overnight. Anyways, I’m looking for any and all recommendations. I’d love to find a backcountry site that is maybe a mile or so hike in, preferably up north. Thankfully my mom has gifted us her gear from her adventures to the boundary waters.

Some questions… do you need to reserve a backcountry campsite? Where do I get the maps? What do I need to know?
