Canoe Camping Alone with a Solo Hot Tent and Wood Stove
HTML-код

- Join me on this early spring solo canoe camping adventure in a hot tent. I paddled my Swift Prospector 14 pack boat to a remote island campsite and set up my Luxe Hexpeak 2P tent and 3W titanium wood stove for an overnighter alone. It was a great time with a delicious morning breakfast. Spring canoe camping reminds me of the fall colors that I missed so much throughout winter.

Real nice Video. I have one more tip for you. Always tie your boat off and flip it over at night. A nice light boat like yours can get blown away easy and flipping it over keeps your seat dry. And being alone you do not want to lose your boat. Hope to paddle with you soon, John.
Will do that for sure! The weather was quite calm with no winds so I wasn't too worried. Thanks for watching, John.
Keep the tips coming too.. always learning.
What a great Camping trip. That area is so beautiful!. Great video Mark! Keep em coming. Love the scenery..
Thanks!! 😁
What a fun trip! Watched this with my sons. They kept asking "Dad when can we do this!" Looks like we're going canoe camping soon! Great video.
That's so cool to hear!! I hope you guys do it! Love your Jeep.. I've got one on order. Hoping to do some overlanding camping with it for sure.
WOW, peaceful, quiet, comfortable how nice. You are fortunate to be able to do that. Nice job and thanks for taking us along. I’m recovering from heart surgery and this is a close as I can be to enjoying a beautiful day in nature. Thank you.
I certainly do feel very fortunate to be able to get out and do these thing when can. I hope your recovery goes smoothly! 🙏
Now that’s a campin trip! Such a beautiful place! Definitely go back and camp in the lean-to and bring that fishin pole 👍 Who cares if the pancake was not pretty, only thing that matters is if it tasted good! Thanks for the great content!
Thanks Brometheus! 👊
I second that 👏 👑
Its nice watching someone local instead of across the border. It makes the dream more tangible to me. Bill Swift emailed me today and I'm so excited for my canoe!!
Cool!!! Tell him I sent you! 🤣
@@BackcountryPaddler ha! I will! I’ll talk to him this afternoon. Nice conversing with you!!
You too! I love talking about this stuff, so message me any time here or on Instagram/ Facebook to chat.
Absolutely love this adventure!
What a great Camping trip. That area is so beautiful!
Thanks it was a cool spot and I'll be back for sure!
Fantastic production. Can.t wait.
Oh baby! The video I've been waiting for all day!
Gee no pressure there.....
😄
Great camping trip, Mark. Sometimes the simple things in life like going camping bring so much peace and relaxation to this crazy world we live in. Great trip my friend.
Indeed.. I absolutely needed it that weekend! Living simple and camping just make life better. Very bummed I didn't bring my fishing rod. I had it on the road and it fell out of my canoe while portaging it! Ended up not wanting to make a 4th trip for it. Should have!
I bet the Buddha would have filmed every second of his enlightenment.
Great video. I appreciate all the work that went into it.
Thanks so much!!
I loved this
Thank you!
That's the good stuff. Thx
Thanks for watching!
Sorry to 'critique' but as someone who grew up running that river down into Warren PA where it joins the Allegheny... when the spring ice broke up and we were dodging icebergs and logs RAGING in the typically docile waters... the name of the creek is appropriately pronounced 'kon-a-wong-go' by locals in Western PA., (rumored to mean 'canoe won't go' in the Iroquoi language... that's a pun! Yes, it' spelled wrong!) We only ran the Conewango in spring flood or after heavy rains, it was too hard on the canoe's in the summer months, but it was AWESOME during the spring run off. Really LOVE your stove / tent combination!
No worries, I appreciate the critique! Now I can pronounce it right. Sounds wild around ice out!
Great trip, great video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Nice love the pancake burrito
That worked out excellent!
Very cool man. Good for you! 🙏
Great looking trip man very cool!
Thanks! It was a fun spot. I have plans to do it again this upcoming Spring with a youtuber friend 😁
Awesome show thanks
Thanks Willis. I know you'll have a post this weekend that'll make me insanely hungry for some good cast iron cooking..
Excellent video and just what I needed as the latest, even more restrictive, Ontario lockdown settles into place. Keep on sharing it's appreciated!
I'm really upset about it and I'm in the States. It's not fair or right. You guys deserve better and I hate seeing even way crazier restrictions.
@@BackcountryPaddler Hopefully all will work out well in the end. I must say that I've enjoyed seeing different areas in your videos enough to contemplate visiting them sometime. The kicker today is just after making my initial comment about your video I received word that my long awaited Swift Prospector 14 Pack boat is ready for me. Sent me a beautiful picture too. Now I am really counting down the days until I can go pick her up! :)
Great video. I took my hot tent out this same night as a last trip with it for the year in the southern Adirondacks. Now time for canoe season!
Awesome Cory.. I'd love to take my hot tent to the ADKs... I think that'll be on the list for Fall!
Just stumbled on your channel and have to say its awesome! Your content was spot on and you definitely are a good salesman on camping in the great outdoors. You have a new subscriber here! Definitely a big thanks for taking the time to film your adventure and I am looking forward to seeing more!
Rick From Virginia
Thank you Rick!! I have much to learn but its fun to share the experience!
A dab of cold water tossed in the coffee when you feel it's brewed will make the grounds sink right away! Great trip! Enjoyed coming along.
You're absolutely right. When I have extra water I do this too and it helps. 👍 Thanks for coming along!
I'm so envious! Great trip Mark; quiet, relaxing, dry - exactly what you'd want in your first trip of the year. And that breakfast? I want to go cook up something like that right now, it makes me so hungry! I don't know when I can get out now, but I hope my trip will be something like this!
Ron, I feel guilty even planning my next paddle out.. its not fair! I hope and pray things turn around quickly for you guys up there. In the meantime, definitely try the McGrito! 🙂 and hopefully there's enough content on RUclips to live vicariously through for a while. I do that all winter...
-Mark
@@BackcountryPaddler No worries! I will keep myself busy with running, cycling and, hopefully, nearby day trips. This too shall pass. Please provide more content soon! 😁👌
Good job Mark. Nice hot tent and delish breakfast taco. Way to go getting out there. I'm binge watching all ur vids tonight. lol
Haha glad you're enjoying it! 😁
Great video! Watching from Halifax, Nova Scotia 🇨🇦
Thanks so much!!
Wow the adventure.
Thanks my friend. This was a great time. 👍
littering anndd....littering anndd...............smoking the reefer. Nice to see a Super Trooper quote!
Hahaha first to get it! 🤣
@@BackcountryPaddler Great flick, proud vermonter here!
I am definitely going here
Do it!
Good one man! Looks like a lot of fun.
Thanks for sharing that, it looks like a blast! And thanks now I’m starving for one of those breakfast creations!
Slainte,
DC🍀
Thanks for the reminder that I need to make those again Dan!!
Great stuff!
Thanks!!
So peaceful, thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks for watching! 😁
This was a treat. Great content dude!
Thanks Abdullah!!
Great video Mark! Keep em coming. Love the scenery.
Thanks Clay, I appreciate you watching it!
@@BackcountryPaddler Are you happy with your Swift pack boat? I've had my eye on them for a year now but they are not sold here in the deep south. They would be awesome here in the swamps and rivers of Alabama and Florida.
That sounds fun... I love my Swift! I'm also biased because it's the first and only one I've owned. Swift does deliver down there!!
Soooooooooooo lucky! But thank you!! Love it!!!!!!!!!
Haha I do feel lucky to be able to camp like this! I cannot wait to get the hot tent back out. Soon enough! Thanks for watching Scott.
Loveing your videos man
Thanks so much!!
Great video!
Thank you!
Awesome, my daughter and I picked up our 16' Nova Craft Pal... in yellow on Monday. Took it out the very next day. She loves it. Now if we can get past this closure, but it does look like we will still be able to go out and exercise so all is good. Anyway great video. It looked so peaceful.
I remember you said you were getting that 16 foot Nova. Glad she loves it!! Happy to hear you can at least get out a little.
Nice getaway Mark! First canoe trip of the year is always something to truly savour, including your McGredo. 😄
Hahaha savored indeed my friend!
Nice canoe
I sure do love my Swift.
Nice thumbnail and intro man! Looking forward to watching this tonight!!
Very inspiring video
Thank you! My goal is to help inspire other people to get outside so thanks so much for the comment 😁
Was looking for a new outdoors RUclipsr and your video was very enjoyable. I subscribed and will be watching. Thanks.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that. I look forward to your feedback!
Just started following. Great stuff!!!!
Thanks so much!!!
Good Saturday is any Saturday that you’re camping and paddling. If your New York friends aren’t going to participate, you might consider extending the invitation to your southern brethren. I love how you’re so casual about 30° weather. When it gets 30° in South Alabama we petition the governor for emergency relief aid. Great trip, thanks for filming it. ~Jason
P.S. I took a poll of all your subscribers in South Alabama and it was unanimous. They would like to see a Swift canoe review video.
Hahaha cracking me up Jason. 30° is nothing, but I can't handle your heat!! I'll surely get to working on a Swift review!
P.S. I assume this was a very very large poll.
Just got a chance to sit and watch...great video brother...keep it going
Thanks bro! I appreciate it!!
That Swift is Fire!!!
It is!
Awesome video looks amazing
Thank you!! It was a fun night out.
Great video , Mark . Soul food for me , grew up in Alaska, now living in south Ga, (Savannah) missing my Kayak adventures. This is magic. So many people are missing out on the bountiful beauty of Nature. Keep the great content coming! Tom A.
Awesome comment, Tom! My dream is to see Alaska one day. At the top of my bucket list for sure. No kayak opportunities down there in Savanah?
@@BackcountryPaddler oh yeah I have two kayaks wilderness systems tarpon 140T and a Hobie Kona T , The water creeks rivers around here are muddy or brown brackish water there’s also alligators they really don’t come at you but there is the occasional coming in a bowl gators territory it just makes you think twice when you can’t see what’s in the water but I’ve done quite a bit of kayaking down here too just not the same as up north. Done a lot of barrier island kayaking which is actually pretty awesome.
Barrier islands would definitely be cool! I have said in the past that I'd love to paddle the Everglades with the gators but realistically.... probably not... 😄
@@BackcountryPaddler It always seems like a good idea until you see a good sized gator on the bank. Lol. Beautiful though.
I've seen some big gators in my life.. but none while paddling and I think I'll keep it that way. 😅
Really enjoying your videos you should come back out and put more out
That breakfast looked bomb!!
You never need it until you try it.. then it becomes a staple! 😆
Your editing and video quality is always on point! Very well done. I may also be slightly jealous of that beautiful pack boat... lol
Haha, thanks man! I do love the Swift. Got a long way to go and much to learn about shooting RUclips videos. Hope that eye heals up quick! 😉.
Great job, love the GoPro, footage looks great. Great edit. We stayed at the lean-to, but came from upstream to your put-in. Sucks that road was not open yet, it usually is. That is a long portage. I did not fish there, but I hear there are muskies in the creek. Next time. The hot tent and stove look like a keeper! Great adventure!
I'll be back another time or two this year and stay in the lean-to. So you started out in PA? Is that right? I'd like to make it a longer paddle next time.
@@BackcountryPaddler No, upstream in Frewsburg at the Main St (Rt62) bridge. I actually stored my bike at your put-in, our take-out.
Thanks bro!
👊
I grew up in Warren, PA. had a lot of fun on the Conawango.
I love paddling the Allegheny from Warren down to the islands too. That's a great little one way trip.
Watching from Denver Colorado
I'd love to visit Colorado one day. Thanks for watching!
So beautiful in the spring, it looks dry, I like your video. 👍🏽 🚣♀️
Couldn't beat the conditions. Felt more like a cool Fall day honestly. Either way, it was prefect camping weather. 🙂
Backcountry Paddler My English is very soft, funny itself. 😀
@@Myrungrang 🛶🏕🙂
That’s some amazing lookin breakfast there bud!! Im an SOTer but I’ll go campin with ya anytime. That’s how we do it in Maine when we can go. Put the gear in dry bags and contractors bags and paddle out. Thanks man! NQU
Would love to camp in Maine!
Great video
Thanks!
@@BackcountryPaddler your welcome
Great video Bro! Looked like an awesome solo trip! Definitely need to tag along this summer. I will volunteer to make the pancakes next time! Haha!
😆 yes please, someone else make the damn pancakes. It's definitely accessible by kayak so we really should spend a day there, you'd love it.
my last canoe camp was solo on an Island on the Oswego river the weekend after Labor day. very nice.
Awesome! Was it Walter Island? Looking at Google Maps.
@@BackcountryPaddler Pathfinder island just north of Fulton NY. I live in Fulton and this was a beautiful Friday afternoon toss the Hammock in the canoe and paddle out there. I have paddled the Raquette river 4 times, blue mountain lake - Eagle lake - Utawanta lake Marion river - Raquette lake - Forked lake, the Fulton chain of lakes and the Oswegatchie river to high falls, Salmon river Reservoir. A week long trip to Algonquin Provincial park, where the moose to people ratio was 4 to 6. Saw four moose and talked to 6 people (we saw a few more people but just waved to them across the lake.) I had not realized How much camping out of a canoe I have done until I started to list the places I have been.
I love it! We've done some similar trips. I've done the Oz to High Falls and Algonquin Park. I will definitely be back there next year!
Good vid, enjoyed it.
Thanks!
Just snagged myself a go pro mount like that for my trips! I have always been interested in the Hot Tent Camping. Ill bet its really nice being all warm and toasty on a cold night!
The mount is really useful, you'll like it. Hot tenting was something I wasn't sure I'd be into, but let me tell you it sure is nice warming up the tent when it's cold! I feel spoiled using it. 😆
@@BackcountryPaddler researching hot tents after your video! ✨ Nice swift canoe Btw I was also checking those out. I need something for solo trips! Big dime to drop on those but the weight and quality will be worth it.
Great video. I'm jealous. Wish I could be out there too.
I know, it's so wrong! I feel for you guys I really do. 😔
Stumbled across your page the other night. Great videos. Even the ones where you cop to your miscues. (We've all been there!) Hope you post some more stuff whenever you're ready.
Making mistakes is half the fun I suppose. We can't all be experts! Lol.. believe it or not I've been getting out every weekend on hikes and just enjoying the outdoors in a healthy way! Still posting on Instagram in the meantime when I have some things to share. Thanks for watching my vids John!
@@BackcountryPaddler I'm an Instagram follower too. : )
I'll at least try and share some hiking highlights there for now. At the moment that's all I have the time for. Future is uncertain but I'm not too worried about it. 😁
Nice one man! Be backyard camping for me for a bit I guess - just gotta go DO IT!! lol
It's something..! I really feel for you guys. 😔
I live in Chautauqua County where you filmed this. The Conewango river has giant Pike & Muskie in it. If you haven't already, Check out Allegany State Park in the neighboring County, as well as Tracy Ridge, Pa, and Willow Bay, Pa. those are just over the Pa/NY State line in Western, NY.
I paddled and camped on the Reservoir with my dog this year and that was fun but too crowded for me. The Conewango was a perfect quick getaway. Have you camped on the Cassadega? I want to try that one this year.
@@BackcountryPaddler Yes, the Cassadaga lakes are nice, but NOT Canoe friendly. People try to swamp ya on purpose there with speed boats. I live on Chautauqua Lake, which is a bit better due to it's size (16 miles long). Cassadaga (Lily Dale) is the largest concentration of Mediums in the world. It's a creepy place, but they can predict where you'll camp next, lol.
@@EKEACRES 😂😂 oh no I meant Cassadaga Creek, the one that connects with the Conewango!
nice video
Awesome man!! Go Pro is awesome! Looks like we use the same cookie sheet under our stove lol. Just got back from my first multiday paddle myself! It's on ! Paddler season is here
I brought my hot tent and stove......never used the stove. LOL.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods Haha, why not!? The baking sheet does the trick. Wife wasn't thrilled I stole it... but, 🤷♂️. 😆
@@BackcountryPaddler It only dropped down to 30 at night, It wasn't cold enough. I have found when I am hanging out with other people, we just end up hanging out around a campfire. Even when it's real cold. It's a pain in the ass to use when we are traveling from site to site.
I brought it because we thought we were going to be paddling in a snow storm on Friday. I figured if we needed to dry out, the stove would be the ticket. I was also testing out some quilts that I know are quite under rated for the conditions I was in. If I got too cold I'd set up the stove. Ended up not needing it at all.
I used an old spare cookie sheet. Saved myself from the wrath of the wife.LOL
@@ItsGoodintheWoods glad you survived with the quilts and also survived the wrath of the wife. Good ideas all around. Lol
That is a cool site, I'm in!
Next time, come with!!
@@BackcountryPaddler let me know...
man just found your channel and am addicted! awesome dude!! def wanna start canoe camping! hopefully will take my first trip ever soon! maybe ill hit this creek. only about an hour and some change away from me!!!
That's what it's all about! Inspiring others to get out. Cool that you're local too. I caught my first fish in a LONG time the other day in the Adirondacks. Going to have to check out your channel!
@@BackcountryPaddler yeah me and my family get out a lot. we were in Allegheny last week and are going to a spot in Mayville this weekend but its barely camping we take the whole house!! 😂 im starting to get everything together and plan for a solo trip im stoked!!! Ill go to the Adirondacks one day!!! maybe next year! so awesome!!! Cant wait to fish over there!!
That's great that you get the family out but also want to solo trip in ADK! I think you'll like my next video.. going to be a couple weeks likely but it involves solo tripping and fishing there!
Been wanting to grab a hero 9 ourselves. The bundle deal isn't bad at all! Sure makes for some good shots🤠🤙
It's impressive! I shot what I thought was going to be epic sunset and sunrise time-lapses but they came out all grainy and the camera stopped a few times. All a learning process though!
Subscribed.
Thanks!
Nice spot, Dude! I'm looking forward to getting out solo in mid-July. In the meantime, watching videos to live vicariously! : D Solitude.
I can't get out for awhile so I'm doing the same thing as you... watching RUclips when I can and living vicariously through those who are out.
You could say I'm in the same boat, pun intended 😆
Cowboy coffee has been grounds at the bottom forever.
Man I want a hot tent so bad! Great video!
Way more affordable than I ever thought!
Got your video on my Saturday morning watchlist! 👊
@@BackcountryPaddler Thank you so much!
I'm just itching for a canoe trip right now. We've been having a rough spring. Each time I think it's over and we get a day of warm weather, it quickly goes away and we face temps below 50 and snow hits the mountains again for another week.
Same. Was snowing heavily this morning!
Awesome stuff my friend! Cannot wait to get out and do some trips myself!
Thanks, Rath. I can't wait to get out again. I'm actually writing this from my canoe, but I'm out on a local creek and it's just not the same!
-Mark
@@BackcountryPaddler Definitely not the same haha, I've been out on a local river a few times so far, just to get the feel for things again. We got a lot more snow today up here, so will be a little while till I can get on an overnighter, I don't have a hot tent yet!
@@RathAdventures ugh! No more snow! Lol
Well done ! Video was enjoyable and great choice on the tent, I have a few Luxe Tents, and I love them.
Thanks Alex! I picked up the Minipeak XL recently. If we ever get snow I'll take it out!!
@@BackcountryPaddler I have the following... minipeak 2, minipeak XL, octopeak, and twinpeak.
Haha you win! All nice tents for sure.
@Backcountry Paddler I should make a trip and join you some time.
Hey Alex just letting you know I saw you commented on another one of my videos but RUclips took the comment down before I could read it 🤷♂️ I'm not ignoring it. 😆
Hey love your videos just subscribed. Going on my first trip soon. Also curious what jacket is that with the multiple colors? Thanks!
Hey! Have a great time on your first trip and feel free to hit me up for anything you need. I love helping out in those regards! The jacket is a down jacket made by Alpine. Nothing special think I paid $50 for it a few years ago.
Great video Mark. Awesome shots. I have also recently got the hero 9. Lost my hero 7 when the canoe tipped last summer and it was on a head mount. Lost my favourite peak too. I now use a floaty tied too the Gopro. ATB. Grays
Sorry you lost your 7, but hey the 9 is a nice upgrade! I did get a floaty too! I'll have to attach it 👍
@@BackcountryPaddler they sink like a lead weight. ATB. Grays
A whole lotta firsts here: First portage of the season/ first canoe hot tent camping/first time at the island campsite (which was pretty sweet). Any ticks? Thanks Mark!
Nope, no ticks. That's never a fun "first." Lol Have fun on your weekend adventures KK!
Very nice. You do a great job on your videos. Yes, Conewango only has that one island campsite. And it has the slipperiest mud known to mankind! Tip for the eggs: scramble them up and put them in a little plastic recycled bottle, like the kind you get a small milk or juice from McDonald's in. The lid screws on tight. A little more water in your pancake mix, then cut a small hole in the corner of your plastic bag and squeeze it out into pan, if you didn't already. And I agree with John V. on always tying off your canoe to a tree at night as you never know when a wind will kick up. Also, I assume you pack your coffee grounds home with you - you are a good man!
That mud really was something. 😝 This was only the 2nd time I ever made pancakes in my life. Last time I used too much water.. haha...Good idea on the small bottle for eggs and I'll take the advice on flipping and tying off the canoe.
Loved this video, and the tips!!
I laughed out loud at your comments on the muck. We have been in that dilemma so many times over the years at put ins and takeouts on the Conewango - and, always remark, most slippery surface on the planet! :)
Have fun, keep up the great work filming; and thank you for sharing. - Kathy in Olean
@@KathyHardiman Haha, I had NO idea other people struggled with this or would relate. I don't feel so bad about it anymore!! 😄 thanks for watching Kathy from Olean! I'll have plenty more local stuff!
-Mark
@@BackcountryPaddler Last year Ness and Turtle tied a good rope system to use - we had some loops and knots to grab and help our climb. You'd need something to loop the rope around, though. I was waiting to see how you made it back down, lol... How did you do it - that can be even harder!
I think a bear stumbling through, too, could mess with a canoe. They have such a strong sense of smell.
Love how the sign says island campers are allowed, tells you exactly where to camp 😂. Don't think we have signs like that in Canada.
You got a subscriber here 👍
It was pretty strange but also reassuring 😂
Thanks Derek.
Thanks Mark! We might be heading to the ADKs next weekend and this has got me psyched!
Nice!! Where abouts in ADK? Debating on where to head there soon..
@@BackcountryPaddler Whitney Wilderness Area north of Long Lake
Good pick! I did Little Tupper last summer which was nice. I found a big 5-7 day loop you can do through the whole Whitney Wilderness Area. May have to do that soon. Let me know how it was there. 👍
@@BackcountryPaddler We are planning that loop as well!
Sweet!! You'll have to fill me in!
You had me at Sir Mixalot!
Little in the middle but she got much back!
@@BackcountryPaddler L.A.-face with the Oakland booty!
😆😆😆
That was a Burl on that tree. Those are like gold to wood turners
So, I know it's a burl but why are they good for wood turners? Thanks for watching!
Super troopers! 14:09
Nailed it! Hahah
Someone get this man a liter of cola!
I swear these youtubers just love to hear themselves talk
😅 actually, I hate hearing myself talk and am not a talker in person 🤷♂️
Portaging down that long road is exactly why you need canoe/kayak trolley.
That would've been great! I wasn't expecting that road to be closed 🤣
l am feeling relaxed just watching your trip,especially when we camp,fish or hunt by ourselves,l know l just feel more free and relaxed for obvious reasons.This creek you are paddling on looks almost like our Minnesota river in Minnesota.One question l have,if you were at another camp sight without a lean too how would mitigate heavy rain in your hot tent sleeping on the ground?Those hot tents really look cool.Just curious.Here in MN we have a bunch of rivers,many are fairly close to our big city,have watched a few more local paddling patrons canoe and camp.Many of which flow thru developed ares but you wouldn' know it actually in your canoe on the water.Your beautiful video of New York and camping/paddling might force me off the couch earlier than l might have otherwise,happy camper.
Hey I'm just glad I could give ya a little push to get out soon! As for hot tenting in the rain, I've never done it and that's a really good question! I have to assume using a cot would be ideal..
You’ve really got a phenomenal channel going here. Great production/editing/camera work…
Very informative
A real pleasure to watch
Thanks! That is so good to hear!
I just stumbled across your channel. Brilliant video mate! You wouldn't happen to have a gear list, would you?
Hi thanks! Not a total gear list, no. Anything you wanted more info on in particular?
Looks like a great time. My camping plans were changed because of covid restrictions. I should be Crownland camping this weekend but I will have to wait for a month or so now.
I have a similar set up and love it, have you tried an ultra light cot? Love that breakfast idea, I'll have to try it out! Thanks for sharing!
I feel terrible for you guys up there right now. Crown Land should not be restricted! I actual found a light cot at Walmart for $75 last week. I should buy it. It's comparable to a Thermarest one that's nearly $250! Thanks for watching Jim.
-Mark
Nice find on the cot. Look for a small tarp 4x6 to go underneath your cot to keep your gear stowed and dry and it gives you a place to stay off the mud too.
I'll have to watch more of your videos until we are allowed to go camping again. Cheers!
@@jimhamel7864 I feel guilty being able to go when you guys can't. But honestly, it'll motivate me to get out even if just to bring you guys some content to watch to "feel" being out there for a little. I know I feel that way when watching other's videos.
Great vids, the chilli could do with a litre-a-cola..........
😆 Car Ramrod 👊
Great video. Keep them coming.
Did you book that particular camp site? If so, how did you go about doing that.
Hey Andrew, here in New York backcountry camping is free and on a first come first basis. I love it..
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! Did you film solely on the go pro? If not, what else do you film with?
Thanks! GoPro Hero9 and Galaxy S20 on this one. Don't believe I brought my DSLR on this one.
Great video! You can add masa flour or fritos to soak up extra water. Coffee should be brewed around 190 to not burn the grounds. I would say you need to switch to darker roast. Also it is good idea to preheat french press before adding coffee grounds to maintain the temp during the 1 min and 3 min steep.
Thanks for the tips and for watching!
@@BackcountryPaddler Not a problem I am looking at a hot tent setup for winter hunting. Any cons I should know about?
I'd suggest a bigger one than what I used in This video. The Luxe Hexpeak is really small. I'm hoping to get a Pomoly tent and stove soon. They appear to be amazing quality from all of the things I've seen and heard from people I trust.
