  • Master the canoe and learn how to paddle a canoe in this video on how to canoe for beginners. This video is focused on how to choose a canoe paddle and the top ten canoe paddling strokes.
    In this video I share some of the skills and experience I've gained over the past 40 years as a canoe tripper and cedar strip canoe builder.
    This is the second part of the How to Canoe series, In this video I provide information and demonstrate how to load and enter a canoe, canoe safety how to choose a canoe paddle and how to paddle a canoe. This video is intended for new paddlers but I hope that experienced canoeists will equally enjoy it.
    To make the viewing experience better, I've included time chapters for each topic. You can find these below.

    I live in the desert and don't have access to any kind of bodies of water, but some day hope to have a tiny cabin in the middle of nowhere, where I can do things like this. So I love your videos, they're peaceful and educational. Looking forward to seeing more on your little cabin on wheels!

    Jason -- Your super well-done videos bring back such great memories of canoe tripping on the French River as a young Boy Scout several years (ok, decades...) ago! That trip was by far the best wilderness experience of my life, and your videos make me yearn to get back into a canoe and head north to the beautiful Canadian wilderness. Thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge! Love the drone shots, BTW.

    Jason,
    My 30 year old son and I tandem canoe on the Ghost River Section of the Wolf River in Tennessee. Two thirds of the 8 mile trip is slowly flowing river with obstacles to negotiate (fallen trees, low hanging branches, and bald cypress knees). One third of the trip is Spirit Lake that meanders through a bald cypress dotted lake.
    I want to thank you for explaining that the goon stroke is inefficient. As he has gained experience, I let him take over the stern position. I can distinctly feel the back stoke effect of the goon stroke from the bow position. I have been trying to explain the benefits of the J stroke to him and appreciate your excellent explanation and demonstration.
    Thank you for this video.

    Great videos Jason, thank you! I don't claim to be a master of canoe paddle strokes, but I learned the basic strokes growing up with Boy Scouts & YMCA camps, etc. I know it sounds petty, but it drives me crazy here on UA-cam seeing so many videos with paddlers that I guess never learned any other strokes but the simple forward stroke. The old "two strokes, switch sides, two strokes, switch sides ... repeat"... their paddle spending more time in the air switching sides, than in the water. Oh well ...

    @jeffreyelliott622 Рік тому +1

    Love your canoeing videos !! So is it true the longer the tandem canoe/kayak paddle say like the 250 cm length would keep less water spray out of your boat/canoe for I would prefer paddling on both sides of the canoe and while sitting more in an upright square position ?

    • @TrailguidePictures
      @TrailguidePictures  Рік тому +2

      No, you don't need a longer paddle, spray is just part of the game. It's a water sport after all. Paddles are like shoes, best to get one that fits.

    Thanks for making this essential series, please keep sharing the wisdom... By the way, do you ever use a splash deck on your canoes, and what do you think about it?

    • @TrailguidePictures
      @TrailguidePictures  Рік тому

      You're welcome.
      No, I never use a splash deck. I think they're a good addition for a specific use but in most cases aren't needed.

    @mattdavey3936 9 місяців тому

    Besides using cedar and epoxy in the construction would using teak for the gunwales twarrts and seats etc ease the demands of maintenance a little, or at least be a little more forgiving in this term?

    • @TrailguidePictures
      @TrailguidePictures  9 місяців тому

      No, not really. With a strip canoe you need to do maintenance every year or two by doing a light sand and revarnish. At that time you do the entire boat anyway.
