To the Red Lake area's credit I have never been told a human vandalism story from the area. We parked at Garner for 10 days and except for a dead mouse in an open cooler had no problems. Lem Pelley at the Wallace Lake campground always went out of his way to make sure canoeist vehicles were secure but I heard he is no longer there.

For a long trip in WCPP I choose to give the outfitters the business and have the piece of mind while on my trip. I do not know if it is outfitter hype but I have heard warnings about the Wabakimi area.

I have come out to two dead batteries on group trips. Once a domelight was left on and once a fuel pump relay was soaked with water and grounded out. If you try the tiny solar panel, test it first with a digital voltmeter. It may charge a little but if not made correctly it will discharge all night long. IMO it is much easier to remove a battery cable.
