Mk631,
I had done some canoe camping before I discovered the BW/Q, but it was only weekend river camping. You know...aluminum canoe, cooler the size of a freezer, lawn chairs, etc.

I read several books on canoe camping before my first trip, but the best one, IMHO, is "Canoe Country Camping" by Michael Furtman.

It taught me everything I needed to know to do a 10 day fly-in solo trip in Quetico as my first trip. I highly recommend it.

Cliff's books had some good info too, but the "whole package" is in this one from Furtman.
