You have hit on a project I was trying to find information on, perfect timing. I just had a teepee tent come down in a wind storm while testing out a new tent stove, the stakes gave way. Thats why you test before you head out. Now for part 2 and I subscribed so my wife and I will see all the content you offer. Thank you

Only thing I don’t like is the stove is right by the entrance. I’m over 6 foot and I’ve burned myself bad getting out

I was talking to your friend Bob about wind ferrying. Can you cover that in a future video?

Great happy bush people’s yes like me my friend said nothing is good an off for Michel Modify everything I love you all from the latitude 55 north

I like the red paint. I assume it's to make it easier to find.

It's all fascinating to me Lisa and so great to see your partner in crime! What an excellent team you make!❤

Well done! Essential for a good tarp kit on the Allagash or St. John…

Great idea and a huge improvement over the typical tent stakes. Thank you for sharing.❤

That’s great! Thanks Lisa and Jeff. See ya for part 2 😊

This is so cool. Thanks for the video.

I love your videos and have become a better canoeist thanks to you. I do have one question that maybe you could cover. I live in Florida and it is hard to find stuff here. could you go over how you make or buy your poles, how they are finished, wood type, length, diameter etc. The only poles readily available here are either pushpoles intended for flats skiffs or thinner poles for staking out boats as a shallow water anchor. I appreciate everything you provide and would love to hear your advice on poles. Thank you.

Muy interesante 👍

Question: I’m 6’6”, is a 12’ pole long enough or should I go longer? I have a 17’ aluminum canoe and might try on my 12’4” Crescent kayak.

Try lavender. I had some witch hazel and lavender soap that bugs avoided. It worked on mosquitoes and ants.

I love your videos! Very informative!

Since you're talking about wind and trim, it seems like every time I paddle in a strong tailwind, whether solo or tandem, I have a hard time keeping the stern from being blown around. Is there a way to prevent this?

Thanks for all of the great clips!

Some orange paint/tape on the poles might make them faster to spot when they are floating down stream. It never occurred to me that you would have a spare pole just like a spare paddle. Dopey me! Thanks for the video.

Awesome show, years ago I built 2 White canoes from Gilpatric's book, one was 18 6" and the other was 20', I loved the 20' ,both were beautiful to look at and incredible in performance, the 20' was 42" in beam and much more stable ❤❤

Great advice, and great shot of that dropped pole and recovery! Grace, under pressure. :)

I have a favorite shorter pole, working down to about 10 feet long its got a little sweep in it but it stores great over the bow seat it the boat has a bow seat right up under the deck and it tucks in under the inner rail which allows paddling on both sides. I favor the right side but try to use the left side to give my body a change of pace. I know a Maine Guide that sticks his pole out facing forward like a javelin, but I won't hold it against him I'll let the brush do that. Jeff had a nice recovery, its always a bugger when you get a stuck pole, at least it came free after the fact.

First comment! Haha. Just saying hi. Keep em coming, Lisa. Great content, thank you!

Stupid question, could you just turn the misquote net inside out and have the door reversed?

That is the BIGgest hat I’ve ever seen!! 😮

@3_Minutes_With_a_Maine_Guide, Lisa, you should change the channel to 5 Minutes With a Maine Guide for three reasons: 1. 3 minutes is too short of a video. 2. Most of your videos are longer than 3 minutes (closer to 5-6 minutes.) 3. More of your great paddling wisdom in 5 minute videos. -Cheers

Looks just like the cover of the complete Wilderness paddler ❤

There’s tons of figuring been done in the hammock world as it pertains to tarps and all the nuances. Have you had a chance to consider any of the ideas/gizmos/techniques coming from that world?

Just go a old camper. Moving from a mohawk solo 13 and I'm excited to try poling through the swmaps in NC. Thanks for the videos. Tons of information I've been looking for.

Hi Lisa, thank you for such wonderful videos! I was watching the Brownie episode from a few years ago and your Bean Boot and Hat Video. 1) the square Dutch Oven you have where can a person find it? 2) Where do Maine Guides source their materials?

Great advice Lisa

Lisa, could you let us know how you stow a setting pole in your boat when paddling? How do you stow a pole in a tandem scenario? A solid wood pole is so long, it makes for an awkward arrangement.

Another helpful video, thanks Lisa.

VERY nice work coming down those rapids! Where is that?

thanks for these uploads. Helps pass the long winter nights! I 've often stopped on windy days, and lifted some large stones from the river, to weigh down my bow, throwing them back out when the wind subsides.

Lisa I do not see any snow behind you!!??? Did you sneak away to a warm place? I did not receive the invite!

Just came across your channel, and i *love* it!! Looking forward to the rest of the series. Keep up the good work. I'll be following you on your journeys. Safe travels.

Trimming the boat is the difference between a good time and a bad time. Every paddler should have a Kit/overnight/oops bag. That bag serves as both ballast and can save your life!

I’ve got a bunch of the alder stream packs. Love them!

Amen! Great discussion.

I think about times when I was a teenager paddling my first canoe across a windy lake and being blown everywhere because my bow was sticking out of the water so high. Please send this video back to 1979 so that kid can see it!!

As a long-time resident of Fort Kent, your presentations provide excellent advice and guidance that will ensure a fun and safe adventure in our "backyard". It also reminds me of how fortunate we are to live in a region of the world that we can proudly call home. Merci!

Excellent video!

Once again Lisa great video. It amazes me on how people mess this up. But That's why we have guides to teach people the right way.

Waiting for mine to arrive from Amazon. Your videos were a bit part of my decision to get it. Looks like a great little tent. Thank you

I'm always looking for large rocks when I'm out for the day, good substitutes are dogs, children, partners, friend who just came to fish

The blue tank looked like 5 gallons to me. maybe 4? I often see the poling guys from across the Atlantic, in Scotland etc. standing and poling down stream and they will step forward of the center yoke to put the bow into the down stream current trying to get the stern out of the current. but I do like to equal my boat out in moving fast water not too front heavy nor super light in the front. and for sure in a wind I hunker forward and it makes a world of difference. On a side note Lisa, I'm reading Above the Gravel Bar by David Cook in it he got to paddle with a crew in a 30 foot canoe across the the Bay of Fundy from Herring Cove, New Brunswick to Nova Scotia, 50 mile trip, to prove it was done by the native people. Its a fantastic read on the canoe routes of Maine and covers much of the state.

As usual, thanks for the tips! 👍🏻

Great videos , so glad to find your channel. Thank you. How long are those poles? Do they fit in your canoe, or do you rig them outside the hull?

I found this out the hard way. If I'm on a lake by myself with little gear, day tripping, I'll bring a few buckets with lids. I can fill the buckets with lake water, stick them in the bow, and empty them before a portage. If you want to be really cute, make them nesting buckets.

By far, one of the best "luxury camping items" lists I've seen. I just wanted to keep giving thumbs up! (But apparently i only have 1 thumb on RUclips) i started backpacking over 15 years ago and have never heard the duct tape trick for bugs inside the tent. Wow. So many great tips in this video! I'd love to see a 3 minute video on canoe / river footwear, Lisa.
