Are you ready for an extreme Boundary Waters Hot Tent adventure with some polar plunging? Join Miyagi, Almost, Krusty, Toots, Milosh, Andy and Shug in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness of Minnesota for some extreme deep winter camping.

Watch along as the Midwest Crew uses Pulk sleds and Freight toboggans to navigate Bearskin, Daniels and Duncan Lakes to set up basecamps for seven days in arctic-like
conditions. Stay tuned in for all the fun and frivolity that you've come to expect from this bunch of backcountry misfits. Thanks for watching...fist bumps ya'll ~ Miyagi
