Solo Paddling at Sunrise & Campfire Breakfast on the Beach

- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- Are we canoe camping yet?! For now, I'm enjoying beautiful views from a beach near home and getting out in my Swift Prospector 14 pack boat. I drive out early to be the first person out canoeing and cooking breakfast over a campfire on a beautiful beach that overlooks Lake Erie! I absolutely needed to take this morning to myself to get outside, relax and feel the sun on my face. Life has been hectic of late and sometimes you just need to take one morning like this to yourself to "reset." Some of you will surely understand this. Seeing a bald eagle and a baby dear on the beach was really fun! Breakfast was simple, but man was that coffee good!! I had some trouble getting that fire started, but everything was damp from the night before, I swear..

Thanks for watching. Have a great day, my friends!

I hope you all have a great weekend are are able to get outside! I can't tell you how badly I need it at times...anyone else this way?
If it's me I'd use a small amount of epoxy filler (can buy the small tubes of 5 minute stuff) then sand it flush then couple coats of food safe oil like butcher block, mineral oil or some use veg oil - lots of vids too. I did this on a table top and worked awesome
Thanks! Got something to work on today now. 🙌
I get this way all the time..even get depressed if I am not in nature enough. Definitely feeling a overnighter on the river soon....started at a new shop and have not had the time lately. Gotta get the money while the getting good 😆
Haha totally get it! I haven't taken much time off work yet. Had all these big plans to canoe trip in Canada when I started the channel. We all know how that worked out.....🇺🇲 😆 let's hope in the near future. 🙏 Definitely get out on that river!!
Yeah man, at the end of the weekend the ride back to the car, my buddy just let out a sigh and was like, man, I needed that.
You had me up till 130 am watching your videos. Can’t complain recovering from Covid and glad I discovered this channel. Coffee with twigs in the woods can’t get any better.
Coffee in the woods is unbeatable...that's for sure!
What a great spot for coffee and breakfast! I have the same egg carrier and when you opened it up and had used the extra dead space for storage I thought to myself “why didn’t I think of that” lol very cool to get up close to a deer! The whole trip just looked super peaceful 👍
It was exactly what I needed that day. I'm such a newb. When the deer was in the water I wanted to take a still shot, but hit the STOP recording button instead. 😒 😆
We love our sunset paddles and cooking dinner on the 18-mile creek beach!
Awesome! One of my very favorite spots to be. I just absolutely love it there.
The camera falling over after the vehicle passes over it is editing gold ! Cool shot.That deer was cool. Balancing videos and life can be a difficult thing to do.
Haha dude when I watched it back and saw the camera fall over I'm like.. yep I'm using that! Then the bird flew over too. It was cool!
@@BackcountryPaddler It's an awesome shot
Nice peaceful outing huh? Amazing how deer swim so good! Very nice video! Ty for sharing!!👍
Hello from Canada, yes we are able to get out camping now(thank God) actually going next weekend!! Thanks for another great video, keep them coming as much as you can!
I'm so happy the camping restrictions are being lifted for you guys, though I wish there weren't a fire ban. I'll do my best. Thanks for watching them Jim!
Dude, that breakfast packing is on point! Great idea!
And here I thought people would laugh at it! Haha.. it works!
@@BackcountryPaddler it’s funny, I watched this and it’s exactly something I’d do. Lots of similarities! My name is Mark as well and I have a Prospector 14. Looking to paddle up there on Lake Erie this year as well I’m in central Ohio. Keep up the videos!
Haha wow that is all crazy ironic!! Great Marks think alike. 😜
Nice one Mark! Good job on the editing and the music. 👍. Looked like a great way to start your day; relaxing. That deer with something! For a while I thought it was going to be joining you for breakfast! 🙂👍
I probably did draw it in, haha. I would have shared.
Looks like a nice place to have breakfast.
Definitely! It's got everything you could ask for and more.
What a great video!
I love the fact that you take the time, even if it is only a half hour away to enjoy coffee in the outdoors!!
I have a beautiful lake in the foot of the Adirondacks that backs up to my property and I kayak it 3-4 times a week in the nice weather.....I never thought to just pull up on the shore, make a fire with my firestick, camp cook and enjoy a cup a coffee, breakfast or lunch. I will absolutely be doing that this spring!!
I have watched about four of your videos now and they are EXCELLENT!! All filmed w a GoPro?
Your choice of music and B roll is absolutely beautiful!
Keep up the awesome work!
What a compliment, thank you Billy. Your property sounds amazing!! I love the Adirondacks more than anything but can't get out there as much as I'd like to. I've got some fun ideas for 2022, more small local paddling adventures like this included!
Forgot to answer your question. Mix of GoPro, phone and sometimes my Canon M50 DSLR camera.
@@BackcountryPaddler Thank you!
I have a Hero 3 but looking at the Hero10.......hope to pick one up and film a little this summer!
I have the Hero 9. Love it, but I broke the door on it during my last outing. 🙃
@@BackcountryPaddler what editing software are you using? I just got the GoPro Hero 10 and DaVinci Resolve seems to be having an issue with the 4k footage. Thanks!!
Great Video, very relaxing. I agree everything tastes better when your out in the back-country. Cheers! Dave.
That's true.. its not just coffee it's everything! But especially coffee. 😆 thanks for watching Dave.
Very cool.
Many years ago when I was young and stupid my family and friends went to Laurentidis National park in Quebec. Moose signs everywhere beautiful lakes and ponds
That sounds nice.. I've yet to see a moose. J hoped to be canoe tripping in Canada often but Covid put a stop to that.
Another excellent and greatly appreciated video! Hello from Canada. I've been there when even through the fire should start it just doesn't want to. The deer scene was gold! Another few days and I head out to bug country for my first back-country canoeing adventure of the year. Thanks for the motivation!
I'm really happy you guys can get out and camp again! Where are you headed to??
@@BackcountryPaddler 7 days in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario. Tim Lake ==>> Tim River ==> Big Trout Lake ==> Canoe Lake. Eventually a trip video will appear on my channel. My first two planned trips this year were cancelled due to the lockdown although I managed to do a lot of Day Paddles and really give my Swift Prospector 14 a good workout.
@@NobleEndeavours123 now I'm jealous!! Can't wait to get back to Algonquin someday. That sounds fun starting at the Tim and heading East to Canoe Lake. Be safe and have fun!
Awesome video thanks
Need to bring you along with your Dutch oven next time!
I'm watching getting my kayak and the last of my gear ready for this weekend.
Love to hear that! Where are you heading to?
@@BackcountryPaddler no where fancy just a little lake in NW Missouri. It should be fun though.
Hey nothing wrong with that. I'll be doing the same thing tomorrow. Have fun!
@@BackcountryPaddler you have fun as well sir.
I definitely need to check that coffee out, I too enjoy whiskey (mainly bourbon) so I need to give it a try. It's always cool when Nature's wild life decides to make a guest appearance on RUclips. Breakfast looked yummy, esp. the sausages! Thanks for being awesome!
Thanks for being awesome yourself!! I still get that JD coffee. It's amazing!
nIce one Mark great place for a breakfast. You can save your kuksa with some love and attention I'm sure.
Thanks Brian! Do you happen to know of any tips on sealing the crack?
Wow what a experience with the deer! The fact you had the camera running when the deer came up was perfect! I fully understand what you're talking about about only being able to go out on a specific day. Lately it has been the same way with me and Mav... seeing that we are both working...both have kids and family which always comes 1st. RUclips is definitely a passion tho! Drop that video when you can my friend and we will watch it 👍
That deer was a highlight of my morning! And you definitely get it Trav.. I'm at least saving up some vacation time for some real trips. I'm thinking July, Sept and Oct I'll get out on multi day trips again in the Adirondacks and possibly the PNW. That's the hope at least 🤞🤙
Excellent video man! Now i want eggs over the fire. haha CONGRATS on 1K!!!
Can never go wrong with that. Thanks!
I need a paddle, too. Work and real life always seems to get in the way. Trip scheduled for next weekend, though!
It really does. Awesome that'll you're going though! Where are ya headed?
@@BackcountryPaddler Wood & Pawcatuck Rivers, Rhode Island. Come on down and join us!
Sounds fun! Little far.. haha. Have a good time!
Way late to the party on this one. Really good job! That canoe of yours is fierce. Man I want one! Also I hear ya on not being able to get out as often as you'd like. Just makes it a little sweeter when you do. Take care brother 🤙
Couldn't agree more!!
Ohhh yeah eh? Your Canadian friends are hoping to geet back oot to the mountains here soon there bud 🍁
😆 SOREY for the bad accent.
@@BackcountryPaddler ooh no bud, you nailed it eh?
I really need to get a canoe like yours. I just did Section 1 of the NFCT with my Radisson canoe and it was tough being so slow! Its amazing for fishing which was a big part of the trip but when I tried to make miles it was SLLOOOWWW going.
When you're trying to make some distance it is certainly a luxury having a pack boat that I can use a double blade paddle with! What's the NFCT?
@@BackcountryPaddler The Northern Forest Canoe Trail, it goes all the way from Old Forge to Fort Kent Maine. I did Section 1 from Old Forge to Long Lake taking 7 days so I could fish every lake and river I paddled in between. It was a great time just slow going when trying to make miles.
@@DaxWoodsWanderer ohh, nice!! 7 days, that's a great trip though. I've gotta do some research on that area, I'm quite unfamiliar with Maine and really anything past the ADKs.
Sorry Mark, that comment was for this video. Great time bud. Had to go back to that video to make sure it was same place.
All good!! 🤘
Great video. Really like the intro. I too want to get to the PNW. Canceled a 4day trek around Mt Hood Timberline Trail last September due to the riots and forest fires. Where in the PNW do you want to go?
The 3 Sisters would definitely be cool to see. No set itinerary for if I visit. Would be hooking up with another RUclipsr who would show me around some cool spots! Hard to go wrong there, it all looks so amazing. Didn't you say you had something planned there this year too?
@@BackcountryPaddler If I go this year, Timberline trail is still on my list. 3 sisters would be amazing and how awesome would it be to have a local show you around
Enjoyed the vid, might actually have to give "Cowboy Coffee" a shot...
Look up Kent Rollins video on it. That's how I learned to do it.🤠
@@BackcountryPaddler love Kent Rollins!
A new subscriber and enjoyed it very much. I have never edited video but I do lots of sports photography and people have no idea how long I spend on each football game.
I can only imagine!! Hope you have a wonderful holiday!
wish I had locations like this. dying to paddle to a camp but not many options here in the Okanagan
I feel petty lucky to live where I do. I'm 5 hours from Algonquin and the Adirondacks plus I have some beautiful spots like this near home. I never take it for granted! Where is Okanagan?
@@BackcountryPaddler that's lucky man I'm jelouse wanna explore there one day. I'm in Vernon B.C. tons of backcountry here but it's all on foot.
You'll just have to take some epic trips! Haha
@@BackcountryPaddler o I plan on it
hello from Canada eh.....
👋😆
I too am a whiskey drinker. But, I'm not a big fan of the blended stuff (American or Canadian). I like Kentucky Straight whiskey. Specifically, Buffalo Trace. It's expensive, but worth it. Not enough O's in smooth for that stuff. Try it, if you haven't already.
I love Buffalo Trace! That was my go to for a long time. You're right, expensive but worth it. Thanks for watching, Chuck!
Did the car knock over the camera or did you do that on purpose? Either way worked out great with the staring at the sky and the birds
Haha it fell over and I just took advantage of it while editing! Worked perfect haha
How do you edit
I use a couple programs and am still figuring out what I like best. Open Shot video editor, Adobe Premier Pro and even a couple apps on my phone for some things.
@@BackcountryPaddler thank you love the content
What beach is this? Have you tried Hither Hills Beach Campsite in Suffolk county Long Island?
I have not.. but I'd like to check it out! I don't believe this beach has a name but it is at the mouth of 18 Mile Creek in Hamburg, NY.
@@BackcountryPaddler ok. FYI there’s a woman that lives in the neighborhood that has a dog that looks exactly like Riley 🐶
Oh lucky her! 😄 New version of this video coming this weekend. 👍
@@BackcountryPaddler great looking forward to seeing it. The next time I see the dog I will try and take a picture.
That's guy stuff always wanted to try to make cowboy coffee
Try it, it honestly is the best way to make coffee. Tastes the best!
Hey I make sound effects professionally for movies, and I do demo example videos on how sounds are made on RUclips and insta etc. Can I use a small portion of this clip to demonstrate sound creation on my page? I will credit you of course. Thanks a lot, please let me know.
WTH kind of Canadian accent was that!!!??? Cmon Mark you can do better than that!! Is that the same beach where you did the Canoes and Brews (which we love that concept)? Uh Oh...and Keila is naughty for getting into the coffee...cheers Mark You absolutely make the best vids!!
Hahaha yes same beach. You love it. Sorey, not sorey! 😆
@@BackcountryPaddler True story!!
Jack Daniels coffee? Where do you find these things? Just enjoying another of your canoe adventures on this snowy morning. Also...check your email.
Haha they sell it at Walmart! I'll check.
