Canoe camping / Waterbury Reservoir / Winooski River VT
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 тра 2024
- Spent a weekend camping on the Waterbury Reservoir in VT. Also took a day trip down the Winooski river in the Northstar Phoenix. This was my first good river rip with the Phoenix!
A special Thanks to Tim Goodrich for showing me the ropes and allowing me to use some of his footage in this video.

Who's the man? YOU"RE the man! Great little trip, and great video. Nothing beats a little white water in a canoe. Thanks Brother! Joe
Thank you Joe! This was so much fun. I am addicted to the moving water! I can't wait to do and learn more.
Dress like you're gonna get wet and be on your knees. Fun as hell!
Doesn’t get any better.. home from work and “it’s good in the woods” 🇨🇦🍺🍺

Heck yeah man!🍺
Hello "It's Good in the Woods"! Thank you for showing us such a great video! I feel very happy! I look forward to your next work! Have a nice day!
Thanks for visiting, much appreciated
Rivers are certainly fun. In a brand-new composite canoe, that first major scrape in the gel coat is a heartbreaker, but also a relief! My canoe is 20 years old, and I don't worry about it anymore. I was hoping to see the new Chinese hammock bug shelter, but I guess that the flying biters aren't that bad yet.
Glad that you guys had a great trip, and, as usual, it was relaxing to watch. I should be back out in the woods in a month or so, once my new knee is broken in.
I am a bit odd in that I can't wait to get that first scratch out of the way, like you said, it comes as a relief. The bugs have not been that bad for me yet this season. I have brought the bug shelter on 3 trips so far. Never felt the need to set it up......not yet anyway.
Great video, thanks for posting. ! ! !
Thank you Jerry
Another excellent adventure.
Lemon iced tea and whiskey is an excellent drink. Been drinking that since college. Never thought of adding Lemon seltzer to it.
Really nice hammock system.
It has been a favorite of mine for many years as well. Try it with some seltzer! It's great
Homie, I am impressed, you are putting that Phoenix through its paces - no poser canoe there. Awesome to see! My Northwind Solo has not seen that level of whitewater. Thanks for sharing.
This was so much fun! I can't wait to do and learn more
Getting in some rapids is where the fun is. Cool video and area brother. 👊🏻
So much fun!!! I can not wait to do more
This is a Justin, just living his best life! Love this dude!
Yeah buddy!!!!!
wait till you see my next trick!!!!
Never did white water in a solo canoe just 2 person canoes. Ball mountain reservoir in VT did a release on Mother’s Day I did several years and it was class 2 and 3 (the section we did) and it was a total rush. I still get a nervous stomach when I think about one of the big class 3 sections, you came around a corner and were right in it. Not for me anymore but will never forget it! Respect the river, practice and learn. Enjoy the adrenaline rush and be safe
"Respect the river, practice and learn"......I like that! Wise words. This was a ton of fun for me and I can't wait to learn more. That said, I know I know nothing about it, and realized quickly that I am scared to death of destroying that Phoenix....I have a trick up my sleeve.......more on that later!
Sounds like you have had some wild times on the river! Thanks for sharing
Cool video of what looked like a great camping trip! Enjoyed the music choice!

@@ItsGoodintheWoods It's coming along! Enjoy watching your homestead progress. So far my garden is doing great. 👍
Glad to see drive a yota !
Great adventure and I'd love to try that white water spot.
Lets go!!!!!
@@ItsGoodintheWoods someday! Pretty booked up this year so far.
Hey, I’m in that group! Representing NH!
Fellow member from NH here!
Did you need to reserve online ? I’m down to do this trip in July
You do need to reserve a site. And they fill up fast….
Next time your in the area try The Prohibition Pig for their hand cut fries cooked in duck fat or the The Reservoir for awesome burgers and PBR’s . Theses two places where my “go to “ after section hiking The Long Trail . ☮️
Eventually want to camp and explore Vermont
Was that the jet boil minimo French press kit you used with the toaks pot?
Great video as per, loved the white water sections.
Happy paddling 🛶
It is. Works with any cup/pot that has a 3 3/4" diameter
@@ItsGoodintheWoods I’m going to give that a try.
Many thanks
Your fast LoL ty much
🤣 Told ya🤷
Shandar ✨🇮🇳🙏
Thank you
If is verry funny bro
Looks like an awesome spot! How bout that stove? The multi jet job? I really need another one....only have 6 now!
only 6......those are rookie numbers lol! Just kidding! 6 is a good collection. This is the BRS 5 star burner.......and it is awesome!! I love it. On trips that I don't have to worry about weight , but don't want to bring a huge camp cookstove, this is the stove. I have really come to appreciate this stove. You can crank it up to rocket status, bring it way down to a simmer and everything in between. Once those burners start glowing red like they do, it would take a hurricane to blow them out. Great stove. And affordable.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods well if I counted ALL my big Colemans prolly have at least 10 in all! And my Trangia, and wood burner I made from an old asparagus steamer! Wore out my Pocket rocket a couple years ago. And even have a couple butane jobs that I keep in my van and permanent camp. And of course my Blackstone that also rides in my van. So, in reality I prolly have 12 or 13! Will look into that BRS too!
@@SuperPangloss 💪🏻 I like it!!!
Omg are you for real Justin! I live on the Waterbury reservoir! We need to hook up! Cheers!
Wow dude! What a spot to live. I didn't see many houses on it that's for sure.
@@ItsGoodintheWoods yeah only one house. I own land about 50 feet from the waters edge
1:30 am? And you didn't burst into flames?😂
🤣 I knew I'd be hearing from you😂 2 night in a row! You should have seen me go! You would have been proud🍺
Just got to remember what you used to do when we were rock gods. Oh wait I can't remember what I used to do then, so now I just stay awake all night trying to remember. 😁 🥃🥃
Doesn’t get any better.. home from work and “it’s good in the woods” 🇨🇦🍺🍺
