Last August Daniel Slager from @milkweed_books #boundarywaters paddled into the Boundary Waters to meet with us about writing a book about our #wildernessyear to #savethebwca . We are so excited that meeting led to a beautiful 300+ page book with over 140 images that will be released in just over a month. You can pre-order the book now so that you will receive it as soon as the book is released in September.
We hope you will order a signed copy today!(Link in bio)

Just got back from a week in the BWCA with several groups of kids. We were treated to a beautiful foggy morning on Sawbill Lake this morning. #savethebwca

Thank you so much to everyone for your excitement about A Year in the Wilderness! It doesn’t take a year to fall in love with a place. Sometimes all it takes is one sunset, a hike, a brief encounter with wildlife, a clear view of the Milky Way, or even a photograph. Our year in the Wilderness heightened our respect for the Boundary Waters and strengthened our resolve to keep it as it is—untrammeled, unpolluted, and wild. We hope this book can help more people fall in love with the Wilderness, too. For a sneak peak, click the link in our bio!

Big news! This September marks one year since we returned to civilization, and during that time, we embarked on a new adventure . . . WE WROTE A BOOK! A Year in the Wilderness is the story of our year living in the Boundary Waters—what we witnessed, what we learned, why we went. It’s also full of nearly 150 photos, and tells the bigger story of why we must protect wild places. We hope this book will help readers fall in love with the Boundary Waters all over again or introduce new readers to its beauty and importance. Most importantly, we hope A Year in the Wilderness will help us all speak loudly for this quiet place. PREORDER NOW anywhere books are sold, or through our publisher, @milkweed_books to receive a signed copy in early September! (Link in bio.)
