    2 tips to improve your fishing. (1) When holding the rod for reeling or casting place the reel stem (where it comes down where it is attached) between your index and middle fingers. Your thumb would then go up on top of the handle. This will give you much more control of the rod. (2) After tying on your spinner, trim the tag end down close to the knot. That 2" of line you leave hanging out might impact the action of the spinner.

    Amazing video it looked a little sketchy before the dam I had a kayaking trip planed but it got canceled me and my boys and daughter was going to rent some and take a two day trip with one night to camp but the river was really high and they would let us go said we have to reschedule it. I completely understand there concerns because the same weekend someone died on the same stretch of water we was going to take. So it has gotten to hot now so we have it scheduled for the fall. Stay safe

    This was my favorite video you've done! The beauty of the river and woods on either side made it perfect. I loved hearing the loons, and I think a barred owl on your first night, and seeing the beaver, muskrat and geese families was the best part. Sorry you didn't catch any fish. This river reminds me of the Coeur d Alene River or Lake Roosevelt, both within driving distance to where I live.

    Yay a three day canoe camping trip! I love these longer videos. It sure is beautiful scenery out there. Mrs. Bananas dehydrated beans and hamburger helper looked delicious. You sure had some rough waters on your second day. I was getting stressed watching you paddle though it. The guy in a raincoat watching you from the shoreline standing next to a tree around 49 to 50 mins in was a bit creepy. Did you see him? He watched you a bit then walked off into the bush. Thanks for an awesome video. 😊👍

    Fantastic!! That’s one I need to do… I hiked the trail there a few years ago and I think you did it right in the canoe! Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for bringing us along! Cheers!

    When you said you had to portage, you weren’t kidding! I usually think of portage as having to spend a few minutes getting past an obstruction. You should try my home river sometime - Edisto River. The longest blackwater river in the country. Can spend a nice couple days paddling from mid-state to the coast.

    You saw the San Juans (Washington). Just imagine a bull seal doing a cannon ball at you to save his most favorite 15 girlfriends or nearly getting peeled off a rock with ankle deep water trying to hold onto the boat! Great video!! Nice shoutout to Simon. I watch some of those guys out there in the UK. I have a friend who could be a short lost relative of Camping with Josh!

    Enjoying your videos.But I couldn’t eat anything with a tomato based food.I would be in the woods with my toilet paper all night .Do you have to stay away from any kind of food?Was you able to hear the other people camping?I would have broken my neck if I went do that hill to the water.Glad you were safe.

    These canoe trips are terrific, and by far the most dramatic! When you said “I’m glad I didn’t ditch” I thought those could be your last words lol.

      Haha for real! I love backpacking too, but there is something incredibly visceral about a canoe trip. Glad you liked it Mike!

    Add Going Solo Outdoors to your viewing list. Seems to be an American in the UK doing all the hiking and camping over there. Just did a packet trip on a lake which was a great video.

    Hi Mr Banana. I really like your videos. Somehow you make it all work out. It does get a little sketchy at times. I liked your last camping spot you looked very relaxed. Until the next video take care.

    I rush the fire all the time and then have to pull chard logs off! I'm working on my fire staring skills. Their getting better but patience is definitely a virtue. 😂

    Peeling birch bark off the way you did it 1350 effectively kills the tree I made the same mistake when I was a teenager

    • @CampingwithSamBananas
      @CampingwithSamBananas  4 місяці тому

      Not the way I did it, it doesn't kill the tree I have two birch trees in my yard. Been peeling the bark off of them for 8 years now. You just take what is protruding, it's not a problem at all. The problem is when you pull too much excess.
