@@RichardBirdette hahaha yea it all makes sense now! Thank you! You too!

@@KT-nn1wh good point! Yea I use one I picked up on Amazon by Branded Boards. It’s compact and has treated me well. It’s less than $20. Hope that helps!

@@anthonyscott4739 I love that! So glad our trip inspired you. You live in a gorgeous state! Thanks for sharing it. I hope to spend a lot more time there. The Wind River has been on my list for years. If you have any recommendations for backpacking in that area I’m all ears!

There’s a lake called moccasin that has tons of ponds,small sized lakes in just one area and they are also within walking distance but they have Tiger Trout and cutthroat.

@ nice! I’ll have to check out that area on the map.

@@kevinboyer6249 thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

@@DMTaber thanks! Glad you are enjoying the videos. Thanks for reaching out and for the comment and sub!

@@DMTaber I’m glad you enjoy the videos! If it helps you clear things up, we aren’t. Just good friends who grew up together.

@Beyond_The_Treeline fantastic man like I said it's none of my business but that's cool I'm glad to know what you guys got a new subscriber and I really like what you do man

@ well thanks! I’m glad you enjoy the content!

@@adnarimecarg7351 I drove it there. Not sure if there are any rental places nearby or not. But I know there are some great rivers to paddle in the area so I’m sure there would be.

@@arkansasalex7288 it’s named after Alexander MacKenzie who’s my favorite explorers.

@@arkansasalex7288 thanks! Glad you’re enjoying it! Yea I grew up backpacking and never thought about the option of bringing fresh foods because of the weight. Canoeing has allowed for that which is kinda cool. But for backpacking trips I ended up buying a cheap dehydrator which allowed me to take along whatever food I wanted to cook. I’d highly recommend it if you’re ever interested in finding a way to include fresher foods. Thanks for watching!

@@davidlloyd2893 hey thanks so much! Glad you’re enjoying it! I appreciate the encouragement :)

@@RFC44 ooo, good question. I’d say overall the AeroPress wins for ease and is so much faster to brew and clean up. So for trips that I’m travelling a lot and trying to get out early, I’d go AeroPress. If I have more time and take the mornings easy, then I love the process of using the French press. The french is more enjoyable but a lot more work to clean. Can’t say I love one over the other at this point. Kinda just depends on the trip I guess! Good question, I hadn’t thought about that since I made the video.

@@Beyond_The_Treelineawesome! Thanks for the reply! Love your content

@ of course! Thank you!

@@RFC44 thanks so much! That’s a high compliment! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)

@@mayhap5150 it’s a 17ft Northstar Northwind.

@@mikeknape7064 great! It’s a fantastic tent. I went with a 7.5ft stove pipe and that seemed to do a great job. That’s what Seek Outside recommended and it seems to be doing well.

@@DrDitchpickle thank you! So glad you enjoyed the journey with us!

@@willong1000 haha the conversation definitely came up about pack rafts! It was fun regardless though, but definitely would have been easier. Hey thanks for that advice. I try to practice good ethics when fishing (and really any outdoor recreation) but had never been taught that one. I’m newer to fly fishing so I’ll for sure remember that and make sure to wet my hands before handling them. It makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

@@alexisstrain934 the large blue one? It’s a food barrel. Pretty handy for long canoe trips. Easy to store stuff in and I bought a harness to go with it so it’s easy to carry.

@@JeffBachtel it really is no joke! Haha thanks, glad we didn’t get altitude sickness either.

@@TenkaraTickFarm I’ll check him out!

I lol’d at this knowing the joke here

@@MaineOffGrid. 100%! We felt that for sure. It’s incredible!

@@MaineOffGrid. well I hope you enjoy it! It really is a stunning place!

@@TimTheJeepGuy thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Utah really is a stunning place! We couldn’t get over how absolutely dramatic everything was. And you’re so right, you feel the solitude and silence a lot and I love it! I bet that would be a fantastic time of year also. Yea we went in early November. We got good weather, but it seems like it could go either way depending on the year. The last day was pretty chilly, but the rest of it was perfect. I want to do more of that canyon system for sure!

@@jessecotter1285 because it was a fun challenge, not much other reason that that. It’s gorgeous paddling those alpine lakes so that was worth it. We definitely could have just backpacked it, but for this trip, my point was to try and find a place to canoe trip in the mountains. And it was fun!

@@MaineOffGrid. it definitely was a long drive but totally worth it! You live in a beautiful state! For the gear, there were some rangers at Churchill Dam that offered to take our gear to the end of the rapids for like $10. It was nice because we could just focus on running the rapids. Not an option you usually get haha. I hope you get to do the Allagash someday, it’s an amazing place! Thanks for watching!

@ That’s awesome that the Rangers offered to help with that!

@@MaineOffGrid. it was! All the rangers were great. We met several along the route and they all had great stories to tell and were always super helpful.

@@richardmitton4115 haha I was thinking the same thing! It got gusty in that canyon! Almost lost it a few times haha. Thanks for watching!

@@ejo19871 hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

@@Looselipsof56truths haha, very true! Doesn’t seem like there’s a clear universal definition lol 😂

lol in Texas they call ponds….tanks.

@@EdNJohnson haha good question :) Thankfully no, but I had a mic attachment on it and when I accidentally dunked it I stopped to take the GoPro off and make sure I didn’t ruin the mic. Thankfully I didn’t do that either haha.

@@toddprobasco9728 thanks! Glad you enjoyed the journey with us!

@@todd-617 haha well it was definitely a challenge! But also fun.

@@tjlarsen5 thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. You’ll have a blast! It’s amazing up there! We went end of September to early October. Got a little chilly towards the end of the trip, but for the most part the weather was incredible.

@@Beyond_The_Treeline Nice, We're debating between May and August right now. We're thinking about starting at Johnson Pond like you did, would you be willing to help us out with a few questions on the first part of your trip? If yes, what's the best way to contact you?

@ yea totally! I’d be more than happy to give you any info I can. Shoot me an email at beyondthetreeline23@gmail.com and we can discuss more. That would probably be the easiest.

@@thetroutking_1 thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

@@Chateunit the stove we used in the tent is by Seek Outside. It’s one of their titanium hot tent stoves. Worked out really well!

@@antonioduran1065 thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. That area is stunning!

@@SCOTT-vm5nj glad you enjoyed the video! We were using the Seek Outside Twilight 3p and their recommended stove as well. So all from Seek.

@@oldsmugglerflyfishing thanks!

@@notquiteultralight1701 hey! Glad you liked this one too! Yes, and I totally meant to shout you out for it because you were the one who recommended it to me! I like using it. Good question haha. I’ve been really blessed to have several people I can go with on these trips. Some of them are friends I grew up with, some in the recent videos are guys from a small group I’m part of through our church. This guy is one of them. There are 6 of us and I’ve been slowly getting them into these longer trips with me. I definitely understand how hard it is to find people. I’ve had to ease some of my friends into it through shorter trips. I’m also part of a canoe club and a lot of those guys go on trips together too. So that also seems like a great way to meet people. But yea it’s hard sometimes to find people who want to do the same kind of adventures.

@ so good to hear back. I like the stove because of its size, burn efficiency and the fact that the size fuel you use is too small to be over harvested in popular backcountry sites. Plus you can break it by hand so you don’t really need a saw or hatchet. On people to go with, I’ve considered standing up at my church during joy’s and concerns during service and offering to chat after service during coffee hour about going on trips. You may have inspired me to do so. I did finally pick up a ZOLEO just in case. Of course with the ZOLEO you need a wide open shot to the heavens which can be a tall order in VT. I’m a hammock camper as of now but that can change. I kinda like the floor less pyramid tents from ddhammocks. At least with floor less you might have a couple plants in there with you in your temporary home😁. Great to hear from you and you take care. NQU

@ I agree! It is super convenient because of all that. I’ve enjoyed using it. Yea great idea! You’ll have to keep me posted if you find anyone to go with! I’ve been surprised with how many people I run into who are open to stuff like this. They may just not have all the experience of longer trips. But then it’s fun helping someone get into the outdoors and experience some of these places. The ZOLEO is a good idea. My friend has an Inreach so we just typically bring that along and I haven’t looked into some of those other satellite devices. This was my first time using a flourless tent and I really liked it!

@@bryanjelinski8036 well yea we definitely passed several lakes we wished we had been able to fish. We did a lot of hiking around and didn’t always have our fly rods with us unfortunately. But still had a lot of fun!

@@Mainepolingguide yea I really like it. Paired with that wick it’s a great fire kit.

@@death2peepz I get that feeling completely. Can’t wait to be back myself! I hope you get back to the BWCA soon!
