Hi.
I'm going on a trip to BWCA w/ some friends. Some have been before, others have not. I have never been and have really never spent much time camping/hiking/canoeing, but I'm freakin excited about this. Have any of you been? What kind of tips can you give me? Do I need special 'hiking/backpacking' clothing? I think the other guys have all the food prep gear that we'll need and I've got a tent lined out, but I gotta find clothes and other misc gear that I'll need. I'd prefer that it's lightweight, obviously, since we'll be portaging and whatnot.
Thanks,
Total camping/hiking/backpacking/canoeing/outdoorsing noob.
