In this segment of Keep it Wild we talk with Carl Skustad, a USFS Wilderness & Recreation Program Lead out of Ely, Minnesota. Carl gives early spring travelers some tips on preparing for ice-out conditions, including being prepared for a variety of weather, making plans to store food safely, being fire-safe and sharing your trip plan with others, to ensure that your trip is fun, safe and relaxing.
