DISCOVERING | Winter Camping in the Keweenaw


Subscribe:


Episode 28 - Dad and I camp overnight at a unique AirBnB in the Keweenaw Peninsula in a canvas bell tent. The snow was deep, the temps below zero but the campfire kept us toasty while I cooked lake trout and burned rolls over the open fire.

Dad and I also did a little ice fishing for bluegills. Our ice fishing setup is pretty primitive and our only fancy electronics are my 15 year old flasher. You don't need much to enjoy a day on the ice!
