Episode 4: Canoeing with a Ben-t paddle
Grab your paddles and bug spray — on this epidsode of A Case of the Bens, we head deep into the Boundary Waters. Bresch makes his podcast debut, sharing a true tale of canoe-trip chaos and the kind of misadventure that only happens when you’re miles from cell service. Our Has-Ben honors Benny Ambrose, the legendary last permanent resident of the Boundary Waters, who lived off the land long after everyone else left. Then we interview Ben Seaton, an outfitter at Hungry Jack Outfitters, to talk portages, moose encounters, and life along the Gunflint Trail. Finally, in Bentertainment, the Bens face off in Wilderness Survival Trivia — because nothing says “prepared for nature” like guessing bear attack strategies and the identity of Red Fred.
