BWCA 05 – Burntside & Fenske Lake Cloth Map

A Great Idea that works in Real Life

I purchased a True North Map earlier this summer for a trip into the BWCA. After years of dealing with large "waterproof" maps that are a bit cumbersome and somewhat fragile I liked the idea of a map you could just wad up in your pocket and pull out for a quick reference when needed. Well, it worked out better than I could have imagined. Yes, the map is smaller than most BWCA maps but the detail is good and accurate. I could pull the map out and open it on my lap to quickly check my heading, then jam it back in my pocket before my canoe stopped moving. It was wet more than it was dry and no worries about tearing it. Awesome product. On this latest trip I brought along my 2 kids and their cousin. Being their first trek into the BWCA, I bought each of them a map for a keepsake.
