I took advantage of a Black Friday sale and picked up a GoPro Hero 7 today.

For all of you GoPro users, what accessories have you found most helpful for filming back country trips?

You will have to check shipping to see which is actually cheaper

Sorry and here too.

Thanks, Shawn. You are a much better investigator than I am. I think I'm too quick to suppose a .com address is an American company. I'm happy to now have Outdoors Oriented on my radar.
 

How much longer are you going to leave us waiting for the next part?

Great report! Thanks for sharing. I loved hearing about all your wildlife encounters.

Scary stuff for sure. This is a good reminder that you need to look out for widow makers even at established campgrounds. In my mind this was mostly a backcountry concern.

Rob, what do you do with your food now that you've stopped hanging it?

Food is in the barrel, camp is kept clean. barrel and other items are usually tucked under a tarp too. No the barrel isn't bear proof, but the bear will make enough noise that I'll be waking up. 
 

When you say that barrel and other items are tucked under the tarp, does other items include the clothes you wore while cooking? Or are they in the tent with you?

Have you ever had a situation yet where you needed to defend your food?

I've checked out the PCI for Booth Lake campsites and was able to get some good information on the campsites on the eastern shore of the lake, but there is nothing about the western sites. 

Can anyone speak to the quality of campsites 11-18? I'd be particularly interested in campsite 11.

Also, how close together do campsites 3-7 feel when you are on them? They look pretty close on the map, but when your sitting in the site are you listening to your neighbors around the campfire?

Thanks in advance.

What outdoor books would you put on your "Must Have" list? I'd be interested in hearing what you've enjoyed from every genre. I want to hear about your favorite fiction adventure stories, non-fiction outdoor history, bush-craft skills, nature identification books, etc.
