The episode discusses the new telephone reporting system for accessing Quetico Provincial Park and the public's rights regarding filming in wilderness areas.

We share the latest on access to Quetico Provincial Park now that telephone reporting is replacing the RABC Program. Hear a firsthand account of how the new telephone reporting system to access Quetico works. Spoiler alert: It works great! Also in this episode, we hear from Bryan Hansel, a photographer who lives near Grand Marais about the public's right to film, take photos, or make sound recordings in the BWCA and other wilderness areas across the country. It's been a long road, and finally there's clarity on what is allowed. This news track is supported by City Cast Twin Cities and Northstar Canoes.
