All reserved permits must be picked up at the location specified when the reservation was made, or at a Forest Service office issuing station. Only the trip leader or alternate trip leaders, specified when the reservation was made, can pick up the permit.
When you get to the Forestry Office they have a nice little video for you to watch. The video decribes some of the regulations in BWCAW such as dealing with bears, food cans, how to dispose of fish remains and best of all where to go when there is no latrine.
Warning Video Spoiler: The bear in the video is actually a tame bear.
After you watch the video, you'll be orally quized on some of the points mentioned in the video. If you successfully pass that quiz then you get your permit and this is also where you pay the extra (or get a refund) for the difference in the permit fees.
