Portage Packs
Custom made here in Ely, Minnesota, our packs are born for trips. With all the bells and whistles of a backpacking pack these portage packs will get you in and out in comfort...and they look cool too.

example trip: for a group of 2 people we use 2 packs. One pack for your gear & clothes (ie. tent & underware) and a second pack for your kitchen equipment and food (ie. stove & s'mores). Additional packs are available at no charge should you need them.

Tents
We offer several types of tents depending on the size and make-up of your group but one thing is for sure - you will have a super-light, spacious & easy to use Boundary Waters home while you are here.
