Dave and Amy Freeman are wilderness travelers and world adventurers who are based in the Kawishiwi Triangle, an area that dips in and out of the Boundary Waters Wilderness. In this conversation, they take us on an imaginary trip along the Kawishiwi River and share stories about how their lives and adventures intersect with this area, including on their wedding day. As advocates of wilderness protection and clean water, Dave and Amy also share their thoughts on the 2026 reversal of a 20-year extractive mining ban in the buffer zone around the Kawishiwi Triangle and how the proposed Twin Metals copper-nickel mine would change the land and waterscape of this multi-use area of the Wilderness.
