You should go for it, I can tell you one thing i have noticed so far, it is comical how much of a challenge it is doing normal everyday things you can do without hardly even thinking the second you turn the camera on, it is like trying to do a jump on your bike in front of your favourite girl...

Thanks for watching and giving feedback, the hull noises were driving me half crazy at first but I can't change them so just slowly learning to accept them, i had no idea at the time the camera was picking this up transmitting through the camera mount clamps, i'll be looking at insulating the...

Cheers Robin, the thing around my neck is my cellphone in a submersible case that allows me to still use it as a camera and such without getting it out near water, inside with my phone is my fishing permit the bright yellow thing

Good morning ye fine folks of Canoe Tripping dot net, I finally got myself back in the editing chair properly and finished the third video from my 2016 Adirondack adventure, after this my adventures are solo for a bit and i will be in the Bog River Flow area where I met Robin and Kevin and Dave...

Then you had me on the other end thinking it was a slang terminology/language barrier thing and Sweeper was referencing the shape of my tarp setup forming perfect water traps if one wanted to collect rainwater, my confusion and subsequent jumping to the conclusion that the local slang where he...

I will be using It's a Tarp any chance i get in the future :D:p

You know what? I was reading this thread and thought my paddle idol would have been mentioned over and over again. Would anyone be surprised with my Adirondack passions that i have a soft spot for Nessmuk (George Washington Sears), funny thing was i found him and his works when i was teaching...

You know someone loves you when you get a cake like that, very cool

Congratulations all who won, those packs looks like real great oldschool kit, i didn't even know they existed until i watched the raffle video. Good to know that the site is well supported and will be sticking around

I mess about with offcuts n such, i also enjoy windfall branches, do they still count? This was a branch brought down from a plum tree out the back when the wind was up, i really enjoyed carving through the transition in and out of the heartwood, sadly the other half was so full of knots i...

dougd you just made my night, if i can take you back there even though you grew up in the foothills of the Daks i should be able to take anyone there with me. Better still, if it in any way encourages you or anyone else to get back out there enjoying nature that is a goal i hadn't even dreamed...

Thanks for all the feedback folks, it makes me feel i am on the right path if i can present this to folks who walk the walk and they can enjoy the adventure, maybe even non paddlers out there might get sucked in. @Odysssey All of my maps come from the St Regis Canoe Outfitters printed by...

As you know mate it takes a bit just to convert how i speak into regular English :D I had it written in parts that is why it is numbered up as it is in chapters almost, it ws just how i broke it down as writing, i'm new to writing :), i had the videos edited and uploaded and the pictures sitting...

Part 7 Day 07 Daylight breaks and I am up, kettle straight on and tea brewing with spirits soaring, I sit on the shore of the lake with my first cup of tea and take in the views whilst watching two canoes paddle through the mist. Whilst stretching out my aching limbs I hatched a plan of a...

Part 6 Day 05 Crack of dawn I am up with the first rays of light (this is usual for me when in nature as I don't want to miss a minute), my kit is packed and campsite cleared ensuring I left no trace of me ever being there, so focused on todays goal I didn't even start the day with a cup of...

Part 5 Day 3 Ahh my first day of rest I slept like a well fed baby last night, it was seriously needed and so was the day of rest as I was sore in all kinds of places, thankfully it was great weather and Big Island on Raquette Lake lives up to it's name, I settled in quickly, after a hearty...

After about 4 mile I came to another designated primitive campsite, I pulled up at the shore and got out to explore, it was about a 100 yards back into the trees and once there I couldn't even see the sun, it was still early enough in the day and a good 6 hrs from sunset so I decided to paddle...

So I emptied the kayak of water and decided to take the portage in stages leaving the wet stuff to dry out in the sun, I headed off down the shaded dirt track carrying the 42lbs kayak which turned out to not be half as bad as I imagined even with my back problems, I took it easy and soon the 980...

I have shared this adventure elsewhere online but never in this complete format, I want to turn what i do into my profession, so with this thought in mind please bare with me as this will be the format i develop on for how i will share my outdoor adventuring Pictures, words and videos, all full...
