Thank you and good morning from across the big pond. I m now having my morning coffee. Making this video has been a long but enjoyable process. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@CanoeCampClimb yeah that looked amazing. I don't see people cook with just a grate and aluminum foil like that. What an easy way to do it. Enough foil you can make whatever size "pan" you need and it turned out just as good as if you had a pan.
One of the greatest 3 day weekends of my life was at Saranac Lake in September of 1983. I was 22 years old and at college and a friend from downstate NY called said he was going camping in the Adirondacks for Labor Day weekend. The best part was there hardly were any people camping so it felt like we had most of it for ourselves. My friend also had 4 tickets to see Santana Monday Night at SPAC. It simply was one of the happiest weekends of my life. It was a college budddy and I in one canoe my friend and his girlfriend in another canoe. We went across Lower and Middle Saranac Lakes. I have to say it felt very close to the Creator throughout. If you decide to go try to go off season there will be less people up there that time of year. Go out on the canoe at night and stare at the stars. And just listen to the loons and the still quiet Adirondacks. PS If this video captured your heart and mind I would say definitely go. It will be one of the best experiences of your life. (Did you know that the Adirondacks is the largest park in the United States? Most people don't even realize it because when you say New York people automatically just think of the Big City. Its how this place has been sort of been kept such a great secret for so long).
Thanks Craig. I've been working on this video for nearly 2 years and finally had a spring trip that had the relaxing vibe I was looking for to complete the series.
Wow amazing Video, thank you so much for sharing with us ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤, sound is stunning, footage Amazing, hope u do more long videos like this with backround musik and nature sound...PERFEKT ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Maria. I really enjoyed making this video. I think the sounds are just as important as the sights. Now if I could only figure out to incorporate the smell of the pine forest that would be perfect. Here is a longer relaxing video I made last year you might enjoy: ruclips.net/video/qmwXS8oNSik/видео.html
You definitely had some nice days for shooting video. One thing I can say is you can always expect one day or more of rain or bad weather on an excursion in the Adirondacks and don't ever trust a forecast more than a day out !! I laughed at the squirrels dropping pine cones!! LOL!! There was an Island in Lower Saranac Lake where they ganged up and were trying to drop them directly on us at the picnic table. And then later on when we weren't around, ate a hole in one of my coolers to raid the peanut butter squeeze tube!! Fun Times and more to come!! Hope to run into you some day!
Ha. Yes I've been bombed by the squirrels more than once. I have a love/hate relationship with them. You are 1000% correct about the rain. Thats why it took me so long to com[plate this video... I wanted perfect bluebird skies and water like glass.... so it could fit the relaxing vibe I was going for. I appreciate the nice comment and thank you for watching. I'll be releasing each "season" as separate videos soon as well.
I've been crushing your silent series this last month. It's ridiculously awesome how great of a story you're able to tell without saying a word. I love the opening of your videos and keep watching them over and over so I'm probably killing your watch time stats, sorry about that! Keep up the great work!
@CanoeCampClimb I'm feeling much better now. Thanks for asking, I really appreciate it! I'm working on the video now, so much footage to go through and edit.
@@CanoeCampClimb it is a good kind of busy so there is that🤣. I'll be in the ADK first week of September spending a few days on the Oswegatchie and will also be at Rollins Pond 9/5-9/8.
Oh man.... there are plenty of black flies in the Spring... and our fair share of rain as well. I have other videos with rain and mud... especially my hiking videos. The black flies are currently very very hungry... I have several welts to show for it. For this video I wanted a relaxing vibe and finally had a bluebird spring canoe camping trip (sans rain, wind, and bugs) so that I could wrap up this 4 season video. I've been working on it for over a year... so yeah... finding bluebird days that matched up with my schedule took a long time. Have a great paddling season GW and thanks for watching.
Absolutely beautiful just sat here at 7am uk time watching with a cup coffee perfect start to my morning 🙏🏴😀

Only a few minutes in and it's already so good! I recognize that opening hang spot.
Thanks Scott. It was great bumping into the AA crew out there. My steak dinner turned out pretty good don't you think?

@@AbundantAdventures for sure. I always pack several small squares of folded up foil. I use the extra thick stuff. Very versatile.
Absolutely fantastic video. thanks for taking us along on your 4 season adventures.
thank you. I will be releasing each season as individual videos in the coming weeks.

Very nice post. Thank you. The Adirondacks certainly have a way of grabbing your heart & soul and never letting go.
Well done my friend ! This was so enjoyable to watch ! Nice canoe ! Great editing also ! Cheers

haha. I should probably make shorts of the intros :-) Thanks for watching. I look forward to your next adventure too.
Great video Butch, thanks for sharing! Very relaxing- makes me miss being out there that much more.
Thanks Alan. I am looking forward to the vid of your 12-day trip. I hope you are feeling better too.
@CanoeCampClimb I'm feeling much better now. Thanks for asking, I really appreciate it! I'm working on the video now, so much footage to go through and edit.
@@AlansOutdoorAdventures good to hear you are feeling better. I like the editing process... you get to relive the experience. Enjoy the process.
I could easily see this airing on PBS. Good work!
what a nice compliment. Thank you John.
Great video! My wife and I sat down with dinner to watch it.
Thanks Joe. Hopefully we will bump into each other again this summer
@@CanoeCampClimb possible, don't see me in the ADK until September this year.
@@mrgjoe You've been a busy man. Good for you. We will see you in September.
@@CanoeCampClimb it is a good kind of busy so there is that🤣. I'll be in the ADK first week of September spending a few days on the Oswegatchie and will also be at Rollins Pond 9/5-9/8.
@@mrgjoe ok great. We will have to meet up
Wow, so well done, Butch!
Thanks Grayson. I look forward to seeing you out there again sometime.
Incredible job Butch
Thanks Steve
Apparently the sun always shines in the Adirondacks except in winter? No storms to keep you onshore? No blackflies or noseeums? Goldilocks land!!

Beautiful. Love the vibe, pace, scenery, audio!! Thx for putting this together for us. Chicken soup for the Adirondack Paddlers soul.
@@NatureIntoAction thanks David. Hopefully we meet up this year... even if it is just for breakfast at Cavu Cafe.
Hey I am new here. I just found your channel and love the content.
