Been seeing a lot of bears lately. I went back to put a trail cam over a deer gut pile just 5 minutes after a harvest and they were already having at it.

Been seeing a lot of bears lately. I went back to put a trail cam over a deer gut pile just 5 minutes after a harvest and they were already having at it.
After reading Adirondack French Louie: Early Life in the North Woods by Harvey Dunham, I had wanted to explore more of the West Canada Lakes Wilderness to see for myself where he resided. @alexd_outdoors and I hit the woods and waters to follow his path and catch some brook trout and visit ol' Louie's shelter site. It was a fun challenge to get to it with boats and boots and practice some route finding on old trails through mud, overgrown with thick vegetation and crisscrossed with deadfalls.
We traveled into the heart of the West Canada Lake wilderness to visit the home of the lovable Adirondack hermit French Louis Seymour. He lived a charismatic life as a hunter, trapper, fisherman and guide and was known for his twice a year visits to town approaching with hoots and hollers before drowning his thirst at the hotel. Along the way we caught brooktrout and ate a lunch at his remote cave shelter of fish and venison. We left behind some balsam browse for his bed and a two prong wood carved fork at his hearth.
A bit of vacation - camping, hiking and fishing with @nataliahubisz in the Pacific Northwest.
I've known some of these kids since they were 4 years old so it makes this Wilderness Skills Camp extra fun. They got to "learn by doing", we started fires in multiple ways, built shelters, setup a trail cam baited with expired chili in search of bigfoot, go canoeing on the passaic river, cook trout and bannock bread on a stick over the fire, make survival tin kits, make plaster animal tracks, learn a few wild edibles, catch lots of frogs and more.
