What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast is great. Hosts Derek and Alan are great on mic and their knowledge of the Boundary Waters is spot on. I have learned a lot about Coghlans camping gear and Totino’s pizza rolls. Can’t wait for the episode on Bog Lake.

Hopalicious121 · Aug 2024

I listen to a lot of podcasts and this one jumped the top of the list immediately and is pretty much all I listen to as I’m going through the backlog. Keep it up fellas

crizoo · Sep 2023

I’ve been listening to Adam and Erik on and off for a while. I really love their earlier episodes which focused more on practical info, lake and campsite reviews, and trip reports with a sprinkling of history of the area. Some of the recent episodes have become much more rambling and have veered away from the boundary waters content. Perhaps that’s just the usual winter slump…I still enjoy listening but would love it if they got back to their older format a bit more.

I don’t know what it is about listening to these two goofballs that is so relaxing but it is. Plus they offer great BWCA advice. Erik and Adam - thank you for the work you do with this podcast.
