Solo Kayaking the Big Wood River in Flood Conditions! Tipped, Flipped, and Went Swimming
Hey friends, thanks for watching. Did a day trip on the Big Wood River in Idaho in early May. Thanks to the snow melt, river water was moving above 3,200 CFS. The river rose more than a foot during a 48 hour period. I put in at Hailey, ID and took out at Stanton Crossing Campground, all north of the Magic Reservoir.

Winter Camping, Solo, in a Foot of Snow in Michigan's Upper Peninsula
Переглядів 27 тис.Рік тому
Spent a few days winter camping at a MI state forest campground in Dec of 22. Arrived to the campground with almost no snow on the ground and left with over a foot of the beautiful white powder carpeting the forest. Used my time in the woods to hike around, cook up some delicious food, and relax. Come check it out.
Spring Camping and Kayaking Along the Au Sable River in Michigan
Переглядів 1,7 тис.Рік тому
Achieved footage from a trip in April of 2022. Spent a few days camping at Buttercup Campground and day kayaking along the Au Sable River. This was a self supported trip, so I did have to shuttle myself and gear up/downriver. Ran the gambit with weather from below freezing nights in the snow to beautiful sunny days on the river. Come check it out and let me know your thoughts. Thank you for wat...

      Ha. Camping in the snow is a way of life for at least 4 months out of the year in northern MI. So. Much. Snow. I miss Queensland, but I've never camped there. The heat would get to me, along w all the venomous animals.

    Two dumb questions: 1. What are the rules/regulations/laws on just cutting wood? It seems everywhere I've ever camped you are not allowed to just cut your own firewood. 2. What is your setup for using the bathroom? This is NEVER shown in these types of videos. Great video.

    • @MalcolmCampsAnd
      @MalcolmCampsAnd Рік тому

      Thanks for watching! Not dumb questions at all. 1. The rules change based on where you're camping, so check local locals. But for the national forest in MI, I'm free to collect and burn any dead and downed wood. Any fires must be contained in provided metal fire rings, portable fire rings, or a stove like mine. I couldn't just start a bonfire on the ground, the fire must be contained. 2. Ha, yeah, wasn't quite ready to tackle a video on this one. I keep a wide mouth gatorade bottle for nighttime peeing. Everything else has to be packed out, no catholes this time of year. I use a combination of a bucket to sit on and bags to hold everything. Once a bag has been 'used', it gets stored in the snow until I'm ready to leave camp.

    *Dickwad lol All UA-camrs doing this same crap doesn't impress me. You pitch a tent, chop some wood, stoke the fire, cook up some beans and then spend the night "living in the wild" like its some big deal and its not. There are hundreds of you morons on UA-cam alone, doing the same. I camp out at night in winter in -40 too. As long as you have shelter and heat its nothing. Try to be different. I will not subscribe and am thumbing down this crap video. I've seen it before a thousand times on other channels.* #ZZZ

      A precooked packet of rice. I have a few different brands I go through ranging from Costco to Wuju (maker of great hot sauce). It's a small serving for me, so it pairs well with other food I've cooked.

    • @MalcolmCampsAnd
      @MalcolmCampsAnd Рік тому

      It's a 6 person Coleman sundome. Nothing fancy, and probably bigger than I need. But nice for longer trips or when I have to cook in the tent. I don't recommend it solely bc of the zipper on the door. It constantly gets stuck on the fabric.
