I do a trip for 8 days every year into Quetico with my wife.

The trip I do with my wife is different than a guys trip, but different in a good way. With the guys we travel very heavy, far and hard--then fish hard.

With my wife we are lighter, fish less, but travel more often. She is not a basecamper at all she is more of an explorer. My assumption (incorrectly) for our first trip was that she would not be able to handle the travel and we should basecamp. She HATED the basecamp---luckily I adapted and kept us moving and now will share a lifetime of travels with her. To tell the truth I fish less but my success is still good as with all of the moving around we are hitting new fishing waters all the time.

My tips---include her in the planning process. Get the maps out and show her what you have planned, what things or places you plan to do on the trip. Definitely get her input. Have a back up plan. If you are getting stale at a site, pack up and leave--be prepared for that. Sometimes a change in location/scenery livens up a trip.
