I know exactly what you are speaking of. My experience was on big Kalzas Lake, south east of you. Flew into the lake, woke up in the morning and the boat was gone. As luck would have it, there was another boat there, and we found the first one at the west end of the lake, less than a mile from the mouth of the river!
Paranoid? Not only do I double tie, but each rope is tied to a separate tree.

Dads lost his boat twice to beavers chewing the line. But he lives on an island (his boats in the water all summer) and thats over a period of 40 years .... still, would hate to walk out of the bush with a sheep on my back and be faced with walking 35 miles upstream (as the case may be) across muskeg with that sheep on my back!
one rope might break and the other might untie accidentally at the same time
i get that part lol ... never dare to ask if Ted ever met a situation where the boat gone wild on his own ....
I learned the hard way never tie your boat to a chunk of shore ice (no matter how big the chunk is) on the Yukon river in may while chasing a black bears... it was a very cold lesson! thankfully the boat only made it about 20' , but that seemed like a mile in May with those water temps.
