Awesome saw. My childhood friend designed it. Very cool to see so many people using it now.
Good for you to allow your daughter to take part. She is a gem!
Your little girl is precious. I love how she has your full attention.
Have a great trip mate, looking forward to watching it back here in Scotland. Cheers!
Nicely clear video Joe. I think people get tempted to take a mountain of gear when on a canoe trip. In my experience, it just means that you are always searching through your gear to find stuff. This amount of gear is a great trade off with comfort but not too many unnecessary things. Have a great trip mate, Frazer.
Joe, eazy squeezy chair. 3" O ring. Make a 5-6 foot ~20-30# double chain trammel with S hooks at ends and each foot. O ring a tripod or quadpod stake chair. Notch the top of stakes. Wrap trammel around each stake. Use multiple S hooks for tightening up chain or X-crossing trammel across stakes. Put mattress pad (or blanket) on chains for ultralightweight 3 piece camp seat. Also use O ring and trammel chain for cooking tripod/quadpod.
The moment you said "black flies" I started having flashbacks to my 10 days canoe trek in Ontario.
I've been camping for 45 years...just not a lot of wilderness style camping. I've been to northern Minnesota's Boundary Waters a few times and we are going again next August. I picked up some great tips from you here!!
For black flies I've had great success treating my clothes and tent/hammock with permethrin. For deer flies, deer fly patches that you stick to a hat work CRAZY GOOD.
So pumped to see the trip footage, especially paddling and fishing. Emerald is too funny!
Black flies are hell, man. Absolute hell. I went to a few beaches on the shore of Lake Superior in the middle of June. Never again. Ever.
Off! Deep Woods bug spray works wonders
This trip is going to be fun to watch. Good luck with fishing!!!!
I just bought that Olympus TG870 for my trip to the BWCA in a few weeks. I hope you get your video out before I leave so I can see it in action. Thanks for the vid, man. It's helping me pack for my trip. Many thanks!
Every time I look for survival tips or just wanna watch your awesome vids I go to you and bob hansler
I love these reviews. I've been trying to dial in my gear for a 8-day canoe trip from Loudonville, Ohio to Marietta, Ohio (W. Virginia border) this Sept. And these vids have def. helped. Safe Travels Bro-Brah!
Great gear set! Thanks for sharing. Watching your stuff helps my homesickness, living in Seoul, missing Killarney and Moosenee
Emerald is so cute!!! Black flies are not, you are in for a surprise Kyle. I have noticed that the farther north one goes the more vicious they seem to get. Having seen Doug's video I assume you guys are out there now, have fun, be safe and good luck with the black flies!
Hi Joe, you are well prepared, as usual, but you are missing two absolutely necessary pieces of gear: 1. you must bring a wide brim waterproof hat: it's going to help a lot with black flies and let you see when paddling in the rain; 2. you need a tube of polysporin in yout med kit: when very humid you need an antibiotic cream to heal even the smallest scratches. In addition if you could replace your regular lip balm with aloe vera one it'll do a double duty for burns and after bite. For your bag you may just want to get another 30 L dry bag and put some handy things into it and you won't need a 120 L portage bag. Just my two cents from some recent experience.
I'm so excited to see the trip can't wait
Good luck Joe. Looking forward to seeing what kind of thick weeds you get into along the trip. As always it was a great video!
I hope you guys are having a great trip.
G'day Joe, thanks for this one mate, twas cool. I'm really looking forward to this trip of yours and Kyle's, can't wait actually. Good luck with all you're planning and packing, hope it all goes well. Thanks again Joe, cheers mate.
great video again, you have some great information in your videos and have given me great ideas
Nice planning video. Hope you had a great time.
good luck on ur trip joe, remember to safety and happy canoe
Great video Joe. Very insightful. This series has got me feeling like I am going on a trip! Lol. Have fun and looking forward to the videos. And can't find the food video. Maybe it's coming later?
Hey men appriciate you giving tips about camping. especially those like me that are just starting with this hobby. thanks men a fan here. love from phillipines
I was like, wow you look familiar, haha great job on alone. Buying my first Canoe here, watching videos to get pumped up :) Thanks for making these!
Awesome as always..... Have a wonderful trip Joe :)
Nice to see the family become involved. Good choice on the sleeping bag, this is Ontario after all... it might snow! Take the bug stuff for sure. Looks like your ready... now the camera gear... Nice saw. All that food don't forget the blessed paper... Where do I get that wind shirt that you are going to keep in your cargo pocket pants?
I have that saw. It is bad ass. Great piece of kit. Hope you film the trip.
Bon voyage & God's speed.You are obviously looking forward to it. Look forward to the results Brian nearing 76
good luck on your trip Joe,i like Canoeing myself very much
take care
Steve
Nice Video. It will be a great tripp. I wish you all the best and much fun. Greetings from Germany.
Good luck , have a safe journey .
I really would like to see you make a video, with you and your daughter camping. I like to see you passing on the old knowledge you have acquired.
Man do I know the pain of trying to fit gear into a pack or three. I ended up borrowing a 115lt slog pack too. Hope you have a good trip. Cheers, John
you might want to consider adding an ampoule of medical grade super glue for any serious lacerations. They are easy to apply and you'll be glad you brought it if you get a serious cut.
Don't forget your sweet GoPro mounts for your sweet canoe for the sweet videos your going get. And extra beer.
Good stuff. have a awesome trip !
Great vid. Will watch the trio soon
Hi Joe, will you include in one of your videos a review about those boots with the built in pockets and the kind of stuff you use the pockets for, also what protection they have or give including cost etc (please include in your next video!)
Great video Joe thank you I didn't realize about storing that type of battery Cheers man
Insightful loadout JR, hoping the trip goes well for you ~Peace~
Lol this video and another one of your videos played at the same time, so it said "hey guys joe here" twice XD
Nice man, good set up! Totally jealous of your canoe trip and can't wait to see the footage.
Great vid Joe, I’m really looking forward to seeing the vids you produce of you guys in the north catching Walleye buddy! Cheers!
Get well soon or sooner, Joe. 😉
Wow! I can't wait to watch you lugging all that around! XD
for black flies I use a bushlite bug jacket. I used it for years working in the bush for a logging company. The jacket lasted 4 years of rough abuse and is the best jacket I have used. I bought mine at Canadian tire for about $45 worth every penny. Also I know this might sound stupid but "Kevlar gloves" nothing spoils a trip more than a bad cut on your hands. Use them when cleaning fish or chopping or cutting wood. I have had a couple of trips spoiled by someone with a bad gash. The gloves clean easy and dry fast, it is cheap insurance. Another thing is if you dont want to carry a athletes foot powder and you do end up with foot issues, grey fire pit ash will get you by in a pinch. OH YA WHERE IS YOUR FILET KNIFE?
vicks vapo rub works the best for blackflies
Really?! Do you just smear it on your body?
YES
Huh. Never heard that before - will have to try!
works for all bugs I have come across even ticks
Nice saw Joe...I have a Bob Dustrube saw and it looks like almost the same but a few slight differences. Same concept though how the channels bend around to form the angled blade holder and handle. Looking forward to the trip vids!
Bob's old faithful beats anything but you need to treat a wooden handle with some oil every so often especially when it's wet
Have a great trip. Keep the M&M's away from Kyle.
Stay safe and take care,
Al
Good video. Looks like a blast
cant wait to see a trip :))) best regards from Croatia
I cant wait!
Have a great trip dude
big blueberries at top of mountain, sketchy climb up, i didn't go up. there should be machete and a hatchet on an island where we lashed 2 canoes into a sailboat. i also canoed agawa canyon, best trip ever, also hardest.
9 days I am so jealous.
just a two nighter would be great for me
keep it up buddy..i really enjoy your videos
the flies and misquotes were really bad. I was up north of Sudbury by Windy Lake Provincial Park this long weekend. Face full of them when fishing and hiking. Especially bad at night time. Careful man!
Awesome stuff Joe! Love the fart ending, enjoy your trip!
Damn, i really like those Merrell shoes. This is a really awesome gear review. Thanks for sharing :)
Awesome vid,it's a shame you didn't get my package before you left I think you could have used some stuff.look forward to the trip footage.
I would strap your rain gear to the top of the pack, on the outside, and see if that gives you enough to close it. rolled or folded water hitting it shouldn't get into it very far, and it's designed to repel water anyway, so it doesn't need to be inside the dry bag. just have to make sure it's well secured, especially being on a canoe.
Good stuff Joe. Can't wait for a new vid !
Wondering why you aren't taking a Silky instead of the Boreal21.. Asking cause I'm undecided in buy the Boreal or a Silky
Hey Joe, awesome vid. Your kid is cute, enjoy them when their young, cause they turn into teenagers, LOL!
jesus the backpack was so orange hahahaaha love the usage and definently worth the buy
NOT ENOUGH BOOZE JOE!!!! NOT ENOUGH BOOZE JOE!!! Kyle is gonna get pissed when you steal his again....
sweat video man cant wait to see the trip.
I've got the 11 liter Ribz pack. It could solve your issue with space. I used an FLC before that, it's more customizable but will weigh more.
You said there is a food video? Also looking forwards to seeing footage from the trip!
Canoe Trip hype! :D
Been waiting
You need a g4free ultralight backpack. It can be folded into a really small size and its 40L when unpacked. I just ordered it.
I'm from Ontario to. I really want this fire ban lifted.
I always suggest a couple bungees, It wouldn't be a clean look, but you could stow the waxed bag bungeed to the outside of the big bag, and save enough room to close it. Its waxed, so it should be ok in the weather right? (or wrap it to one of the cross members in the canoe as a light padding until you need it. during portage and such.)
I was going to say that. Since it folds down so nice, I would also think about figuring out a quick way to strap it to my belt or something so that it hangs below the pack or on the back. Didn't think about strapping it on the canoe. Good thought!
So I forgot about this, but I sewed Fastex buckles to my Ruck and Radio bag in the Army, then I could just clip the secondary bag to the primary for travel, And it unclipped easily instead of untying or unpacking etc. Then both packs could remain packed or stowed.
That's actually a really good idea. Did it hold up well?
+Tim Cressman yeah really well if done right
Super gear!
You need a shake down! If I go camping in the cold wilderness - I hope you're near by! Because You're prepared!!! Stay warm! That's like a 90 liter bag?
So awesome!, pls make sure to film hellalot
lotsa stuff to carry. don't matter, kyle will carry it most of the time anyway. lol, good times, have fun!
I'm glad I watched until the end. :-)
You see if you fly fish all you have for "tackle" is a small fly box with a couple leaders and some extra tips in it.
great video
"Are you supposed to draw on that". 😂😂😂
Hey Joe, I also have the Neo air thermarest, Do you have a trick to blow air into it ? And also Is yours really noisy when you roll around ? Anyways I love mine very light and warm.
How about a quick review of that New Pack Canoe
Super glue is a must need in a Bushcraft first-aid kit, immediate steril liquid stiches on the fly!!!!
an elastic wrap would be a nice addition in case of a strained ankle.
Anti-diarrhea meds too just in case of a bad trout or the water purification doesn't work out.
Joe, I'm going on a canoe trip with 3 friends for a week. We will be going with a travel agency since it will be our first canoe trip. Your video's are super useful to me. I have a question: What is your opinion about sandals? I have realy good ones and i like them a lot. we will be doing small day hikes as we feel like it. The trip will be in Norway on 3 lakes. if we want to switch lakes, the organisation will bring a cart to transfer our gear. I'm considering getting neoprene socks as well (i already bought the 3mm neoprene gloves and they work great). Fashion and aesthetics aside, do you think sandals and neoprene socks will sufice or would you strongly recommend closed shoes?
have you ever tried using dryer sheets for the black flies? work pretty good for me when I was canoeing through the boundary waters
Cheers to the Nikon D5500 squad!
I have that same chair
Use watkins for the bugs. Its the only one that works for me!
Did you do a video on the food you packed? I think you said you did but couldn't find it? I could be wrong
Hey joe its Matthew i really like How you Teach us how to survive in the woods aka I'm your cousin 😀😄
Hey Joe,
Could you not save space by losing the chair and taking material for a bush chair?
Just a thought. Hope you're well :)
keep them up!
You need to add some rainbows on the backpack. I am kind of surprised that your co-star did not already do that for you.
She already has his heart. See the tattoo on his chest in the trip videos.
BYE, nice set up
Nice video! What did you do for a watch? anything special?
Love the videos! I was wondering why you said gore-tex doesn't keep you dry?
