Push for John Ek Lake, anyone?

I am considering a May 2023 or May 2024 push for John Ek Lake. I would be interested in trying for this with two other like minded bushwhackers taking in my MN3. Day one would be a big push to get up and camp on Pan first night. Day 2 would be the brutal push into John Ek. Stay on John Ek for 4 nights and survey the lake for depth and fish. Then back out the way we came. Previous PMA experience would be appreciated but not required.

This will not be a trip for the faint of heart and quitters will be stranded until the boat comes back their way. Minimal gear, travelling light and fast single portaging, and camping in hammocks/super small tents, eating a lot of fish and/or freeze dried food.

This lake has been discussed at length on here and I think it's time we get some real BWCA.com data on it. Who is with me?

Who I am precedes what I do, not the other way around.
