@travisvanalst4698 definitely the smart thing to do! I'm curious, do you pay for it every month or do you just activate it in months you have a trip planned?

Indeed it is and thank you!

what kind of backpack are you using on this trip? looks very roomy

That would be the Seal Line Boundary 115L dry pack.

@@BackcountryPaddler Thank you!

You're welcome. It's a great pack but it's pretty bulky. Might go without saying since it's 115 liters!

@dougpacanoemanburns4294 Haha wow I forgot I even made this... Happy Thanksgiving!!

I really would like to do that trip! How many days was it to do the loop?

@BackcountryPaddler it was at least 7 days maybe a little more but we took two layover days.

@dougpacanoemanburns4294 good to know.. think it's doable in 5? If not I probably can't do it for quite some time. God only knows when I'll have 7 days.. Haha

Lol, no it was not. Keep me in mind if you ever do want to paddle the ADK. I'm in...

@BackcountryPaddler will do buddy.

I'll have to try this around Spring/Summer one day! I'll keep that in mind about the old growth forest too. That sounds amazing.

@@raymondlittlejohn1524 hi, it's a bunch of pounds in the St Regis Canoe Area in the Adirondacks

@thomasbortscheller8156 thanks for checking in! Glad to hear you will be getting out yourself!

I will assume that's either sarcasm or you want to keep it secret with less visitors 😆

Conewango Creek. It's near the western PA / NY border.

@BackcountryPaddler thank you so much im learning a lot from your videos thank you for all the time and effort that you put on your content

That's always so cool to hear...be safe out there and email me or comment here with anything else I can maybe help you with!

@southronjr1570 as a first responder myself I totally agree with your assessment. For one thing, I really should have a tourniquet in my first aid kit. Thanks for bringing that and your other suggestions to my attention. It's appreciated!

@@Jenevershed 😀 thanks!!

😆 I'm using that...

Interesting, thank you.

@Jenevershed thank you! That was an incredibly simple but delicious camp meal. I still remember just how good it tasted that night.

@rawveganfoodforthought2333 sure can. I just got a comment the other day that mentioned rinsing the bottle with a little lemon juice. They said it works perfectly! Hoping to try it out before & after my next trip.

@OregonMikeH HI MIKE, I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR KIND WORDS! I BELIEVE I USED A KLYMIT STATIC V SLEEPING PAD ON THIS TRIP (IF IT WAS ORANGE). IT WAS EITHER THAT ONE OR MY EXPED. BOTH HAVE A HIGH R VALUE FOR THOSE COLD NIGHTS! HOPE TO HEAR MORE FROM YOU, MY FRIEND! CHEERS, MARK

@@BackcountryPaddler I'M SUBSCRIBING MARK, THANK YOU.

I do. If you want to see some "good" fishing footage check out my Canoe Camping Alone in the Adirondack Mountains video. 😉

@@robertbennett6697 poling sounds like a great idea on the Oz!

@CanadianHardwoodPro traditionally always wore a pair of Merrell Moab 2 waterproof hiking boots, but I wouldn't mind trying muck boots this Fall.

@karenrobinson1819 so.. my buddy and I were there one night and we kept hearing this loud bang every couple minutes which sounded like someone swinging a baseball bat at a tree. There was no wind, there was nothing in the water and it was coming from the woods. This went on for an hour or 2. 😬

@@BackcountryPaddler sounds like there’s a squatch! I would love to go on a trip like that. I’m trying to convince my sister to go with me. We have kayaks not canoes though. Your videos are great!

There's lots of amazing lakes you can access with kayaks. Just avoid the portages...and sasquatch.... 😆

@@BackcountryPaddler good advice! Keep having great adventures and keep posting. You’ve got a new follower. 😀

Thank you! It's a Toaks. I believe it's the 750ml..

Haha.. maybe.

I swear I'll never forget that rack of lamb. It was sooo good! I've tried replicating it at home and it never turns out that got. Campfire for the win!

@@BackcountryPaddler Yes, they say the presentation is half the meal, I would say your environment had to be 75 percent .

That was a rough little trip but roasting that lamb made it worth it... haha. I remember it took me about an hour to get that fire started too. Everything was soaked. So even sweeter.

@@robertdodd9623 thanks!!

Yeah but, you have double decker busses! 🤣 I will keep my outdoors!

Thank you for watching. Gracias por ver!

Yep get any of the Hydrapak ones. I do like the Flux for the durability. Also, in a pinch, a Gatorade bottle works!

@@BackcountryPaddler sweet thank you! didn’t know the gatorade bottles fit, thank you!

Welcome!

Thanks for commenting! I was just watching the new season of Alone and remembering just how much I love doing this stuff.

I had to go back and see what you meant. I actually didn't hit my car, but I can see how it looks that way.. Haha

I hang my bear bag, so not really. I can't say I've ever really been concerned about it. I don't bring bear spray, but it's also never a bad idea to have it just in case.

Follensby Clear Pond

Welcome!

The flow rate on the BeFree is the best thing about it. I've had trips ruined by a bad water filtration setup (Sawyer Squeeze) but everything changed when I went this route. I just suggest keeping a separate bottle for after you filter the water. When the water sits in the Hydrapak for a while it can taste "plasticky"... hope that helps! Mark

Thanks!!

I agree! Even a twig stove can take a little too much time.

That really reminds me of my first trip there! Amazing experience nonetheless. I love that little Solo Stove it's just a good as the Bush Buddy and about half the cost of less.

@@BackcountryPaddler ya man… I really over did myself by packing too much and trying to carry it all over a nasty portage 😂 I will be back and I will do better for sure. 👍🏼

Haha.. hey at least you made it. Out of sheer curiosity.. which portage was it?

@@BackcountryPaddler St. Andrews to high falls… I honestly struggled just walking it without gear plus raining and wet rocks/mud… I actually was concerned I’d break a leg. Wasn’t even that long just the elevation was all over the place

That kinda thing is a killer. Glad you and your gear are in one piece though!

Indeed my friend. I hope to visit here again in better weather next time.

Thanks, these were good days!

Good advice! Wool is always the answer.

Thats how you know its not click bait

@@dari6336 I did watch it to the end.. beautiful trip..now come to my lake.. reindeer lake Saskatchewan.. paddle from Southend to kinoosao and brochet..

All three reservations separated by 90 miles of water..

I think that fish had more fun with me.. 😝

All good advice! Poling looks like a lot of fun and would be pretty cool to do on the Oswegatchie. Thanks for watching!
