点评:Our group of 5 adults and 3 teens just returned from the Boundary Waters, and I can't say enough about the experience Piragis helped make possible. Only 2 of our 8 had ever been to the BWCA, so Tim's expertise in both trip planning and execution was absolutely invaluable. He and the entire team were outstanding from start to finish.
My family of 5 did full outfitting (minus food, which we handled ourselves), and every piece of equipment was top tier. To purchase gear of equal quality on our own would have cost 5 times what we paid for the outfitting package. I had real concerns about sleeping on the ground, but the sleep pads and sleeping bags were excellent and I slept great.
The BWCA itself is a magical, beautiful wilderness that I feel so lucky to have witnessed. If you have never been, it is worth every bit of the effort to get there.
I do want to highlight something that really put Piragis to the test. We had a canoe spill on Lake Two due to a strong crosswind on our way in. Two granite packs that Piragis had packed for us were in the lake with us for about 30 minutes while we worked to recover the situation. I was convinced we'd be unpacking soaked sleeping bags, pillows, and tents and facing a miserable week. Miraculously, almost no water got into the packs. The way those bags were packed gave me so much peace of mind once I realized everything was intact.
I have told everyone I've shared this trip with how seamless the experience was, and Piragis deserves a huge part of the credit. If I ever make it back to the BWCA, Piragis will be my first call. Thank you, Tim and team!
翻译:我们一行五位成人和三位青少年刚刚从边界水域(Boundary Waters)回来,Piragis 为我们打造的这次旅行体验真是太棒了,我简直无法用语言来形容。我们一行八人中只有两人之前去过边界水域,所以 Tim 在行程规划和执行方面的专业知识对我们来说至关重要。他和整个团队从始至终都非常出色。
我们一家五口选择了全套装备(除了食物,我们自己准备的),所有装备都是顶级的。如果我们自己购买同等质量的装备,价格至少是我们购买的装备套餐的五倍。我之前很担心睡在地上,但睡垫和睡袋都非常棒,我睡得很好。
边界水域本身就是一片神奇而美丽的荒野,我非常幸运能够亲眼目睹。如果你从未去过,那么绝对值得你付出任何努力。
我还想特别强调一下 Piragis 的一次真正考验。我们在二号湖上划独木舟时,由于强劲的侧风而翻船。Piragis 为我们打包的两个花岗岩背包在湖里泡了大约 30 分钟,我们努力想办法脱困。我当时觉得,我们肯定要面对湿透的睡袋、枕头和帐篷,接下来的一周肯定不好过。奇迹般地,背包里几乎没有进水。背包的打包方式让我安心不少,因为我知道所有东西都完好无损。
我跟所有分享过这次旅行的人都说了,整个过程非常顺利,Piragis 功不可没。如果我有机会再去边界水域独木舟区 (BWCA),Piragis 绝对是我的首选。谢谢你们,Tim 和他的团队!
