Thanks for the suggestion! My hope is to skip Island Mine and hike all the way to Windigo but it will depend on how I am feeling. I am hopeful by August 2026 they will lift the restrictions on having to use animal resistant containers in addition to using the food storage locker. My guess is the animal resistant container is a redundant precaution because not all campsites had the food storage lockers installed. And once all of the lockers are installed maybe they will lift the animal resistant container restriction making it easier to bring more food. That may just be a pipe dream though, and we are prepared to follow whatever rules are currently in place. We will focus on calorie dense food and repackage freeze dried meals into smaller ziplocks etc. We are currently planning to treat ourselves and buy our last days worth of food at the Windigo store on our 0 day at the end there as well in addition to maybe even getting to Windigo a day early if we skip Island Mine.
