More videos like this please! Music was perfect and I loved the narration. Swish. Swoosh. \\m//

I have to say that in my experience at GRR it is not easy to find a piece of ground anywhere close to level. It is a pretty spot though. Just don't forget a good sleeping pad.

Thanks for sharing the tips! Have you found that you need to step up the size of your outer layer to fit comfortably?

Love your videos. Love the Adirondacks. No place is rather be !!!! I go every summer I’ve always wanted to go in the fall just haven’t been able to I’d love to go up white face when the leaves have fully turned

Love your videos. Love the Adirondacks. No place is rather be !!!!

Very informative! Can you address socks/footware?

Nice video man- you show the scenery so nicely. About how long do you suppose the hike up to the summit of Long Pond mountain and back is? I'm going up there next week with a friend and i'm wondering if we'll take the time to do that hike or not. Thanks for sharing, guy.

I will do this next week! ❤ thank you for the video

I enjoyed this. No music or talking.

I just recently started watching your videos, and I love them. I'm in my first year of solo camping / backpacking. I'd really like to do a 3 day, 2 night trip in St Regis canoe wilderness, working in a trip to the fire tower and some brook trout fishing at the end of April or beginning of May in '25. Is there a beginning canoe you'd recommend the most? Or should I just use the canoe outfitters for my first couple trips. Ideally, I'd like a 2 seater that I could still portage alone.

Just want to say these are extremely useful videos. Straight to the point and good footage of the actual portages. Makes planning so much easier.

I like these real time videos ! Is that the parking off of Floodwood Rd ? Thanks !

Great trip! I love seeing you setting an example with PFD's. I wear mine all the time, regardless of air/water temperature. I also use it to hold my phone/camera though. My group completed the same trip from Site 4 on St Regis Pond a couple years ago, but we didn't cram into one canoe! I wish I had video from the campfire chat the evening before when I said we should be on the water by 7 AM so we were not too late getting back. The look on some of the "newbie" faces when I told them of our long day was priceless! Such a good time, though! My favorite part of the paddle was Bog Pond, with the narrow, twisty sections. It's definitely a tricky takeout at the dock by the trailhead! I'm jealous of the solitude you had on the summit. We were the only paddlers that day but it was mid-summer with perhaps 20 or 30 people that hiked in from Keese Mill. We finished with a swim off the rocks at Site 6 and some killer hamburgers for dinner. Site 4 added a couple miles to the trip since we were on the "wrong" end of the lake. Certainly a long day, but worth every minute, every step, and every stroke.

Where did you launch for the start of the trip?

Totally enjoyed this video. I had a smile on my face the whole trip. Beautiful family. Thanks so much for sharing.

nice vid Josh. Some tough weather this year.

The one time i've been here I stayed at 27, which is the one you didn't visit haha. Nice video man.

Very nice. What an achievement

Nice mountain views on fish pond. My family would have killed me at the first beaver dam😂

Thanks for doing this! Super helpful for us first timers!

There are two directions to go from Lila. Both entail longer carries and a lighter boat.

Itching to do this race but certainly need to train! 😂 Do you see a lot of people using kayaks?

I camped at #1 two weeks ago (mid August) - past it by from first inspection due to large rocks blocking the steep entry trail and little view of the lake from the tent site - returned to it cause island nearby and #6 were taken. Came to like it, there’s a point to the east to see the sunrise, level spot for tent, lots of firewood. Anyone primitive-camped at Limekiln? Looked to see if there’s access to that when campground is closed. Favorite is Forked Lake in Sept/October. 🌲🏕🌅

Nice camp

Cool

Thank you for this. What brand of canoe dolly are you using and how long is the yellow canoe...3 kids a dog some gear and the dolly and not too cramped:) happy trails! Jared

Totally awesome 😮.

this is great, planning my first canoe camping trip to this lake next year and was trying to find as much info on it as i could, been kayak camping on the same lake here but wanted to try a new area.

I understand the improved ecological impact of a recessed site - but the Algonquin sites with water view sure are nice - and less buggy with the wind. Ugh.

Thank you for this preview. I'm heading out there in a month and it's very helpful to see the sites ahead of time. Good info on the switched numbers, too.

Such a tiny percentage of Adirondack waters are off-limits to motors. Weller Pond would be a good addition to motorless waters.

Nice job. When were you there that so many sites were unoccupied? I just camped three nights at Site 3.

Nice setup. How do you store your garbage?

Doing a single over while Solo was never a question of “can I”, it’s more a question of “should I”? I’m 51 and strong as an ox, but I’m still 51 and not nearly as agile as I used to be. For me the squeeze isn’t worth the juice. Alone, 4 days from help, isn’t a place to push close to the limit. For me it’s better to be sure footed and minimize the risk, go back and get my second pack. I love the video and content, and this is exactly how I would do it when if I was younger. My advice to anyone is be sure of the weight of your gear, and be sure of your fitness before attempting once overs on Solo Trips. Thanks for the content!

UPDATE: Aug 2024 - I considered doing this video again due the heavy erosion of the portage trail. The condition of the trail depicted in this video is now much worse. Canoe Cart WILL NOT work!

Thank you for this video. I’ve been to Little Tupper and Rock Pond many times but tend to always camp at the same sites. Next time in Rock Pond, I believe I may try site 29. It sure looks interesting.

Nice comfortable setup. The bug tent looks great and having that tarp to keep gear and wood dry is crucial! Your setup is the canoe version of what I call Glam-packing. Those boats must be pretty full to carry all that! Curious about the 205cm Shadow paddle. Do you drip much water in the boat when paddling? I know that I would have wet legs with that paddle.

Very cool man trying our first trip there with kayaks in a couple weeks! When was this? Wondering if we’ll run into a bunch of people or not, we’ll have two dogs hopefully it works out for the best! Looking forward to the challenge

I see the water was super high. I was there two weeks ago and it was the same way higher than I've ever seen

Thanks for posting. I always enjoy your videos for reconnaissance for my trip ideas. If I could make a suggestion, adding a camera mount to your boat would improve your videos, giving a forward view that is not obstructed by the bow and a view of you that has more scenery in the background rather than sky. I'll be starting an Oswegatchie Traverse this coming Tuesday, starting with the 2 mile carry in to the Upper Dam since the Lower Dam access is still off limits. Hoping to see few to no people, though I would say hi and chat with you if I saw you. ;)

Josh, thanks for update and all your videos, particularly those about the 90 miler. Question: have you done any content on deep water solo canoe self-rescue. I paddle a lot in big lake and often can't avoid getting pretty far from shore. Thanks for any ideas.

Way cool! Great vid! Been there, & you nailed it. We went in Canoes & Kleppers 10 years ago. Lila is the best.

That portage is a bitch. 4X especially.

Nice boat! Great review, thanks for sharing!

The DEC Info locator map shows 5 sites on the big island. Two on the southern shore, one on the west, and two more on the north. We stopped for lunch this summer on the small island and that site was nice except that people refuse to use the thunderbox, and instead go behind every single tree. Don't even bury it. 🤢

Great job! I'm hoping this will be my first year, so it was very helpful. Thank you.

Well done very informative and visually appealing.

Thanks for the review. Last year, I was looking for either a Swift or Placid Boatworks used for the Adirondack tripping. I was about to give up and test a new one and then this boat came up an hour from me in Pennsylvania. A very rare find of a good canoe in PA. I have come up 3x times with it so far and couldn't be happier. It was barely even uaed.

Do you ever use a single blade with the Pack ?
