Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and skillset! After consuming all of your videos and about a dozen practice trips my family and I did our first overnight canoe camping trip a few weeks ago in the Delaware Water Gap to huge successes, particularly the camp kitchen set up you spent several videos on. We moved from CA to NJ this spring and it's our first foray in water activities so thank you again for all of the wisdom you're passing down to me that I get to pass down to my two daughters. We have a whole new set of outdoor adventures to make memories about.
Thanks for sharing. This made my day. Yes, when you have a good system for food, safe and reliable cleanup and cooking in the rain, you’re well on your way to good adventures anywhere. Stay safe and thanks for watching!
Thanks Lisa. I always wonder about how long the painter should be and whether to secure it. On one hand, not having a line makes it very difficult to hold onto the boat. On the other, I’ve gotten tangled up while swimming and that was scary.
Not getting tangled is always something every canoeist should keep in mind. Personally I’ve fielded dozens of wrecks and never seen it happen. BUT I always tell my guests if a boat goes over in a rapid, just get away from it. You’d be surprised how much better an unmanned canoe finishes a rapid. A canoeist hanging on to a canoe always wants to see downriver, the only way they get to do that is to turn the boat sideways so it’s not blocking their view. Disaster. Much easier for them to just get out of the way so I can grab it. Especially since I’m standing. Thanks for watching and stay safe.
@3_Minutes_With_a_Maine_Guide, Lisa, I'm surprised you did not use the correct spelling of 'peinter,' and tell the etymology of the word peinter. I don't know when painter cane into use, but we should strive to re-educate canoeist on the proper spelling of the terms. For those whom are curious: the word is derived from the Dutch vocabulary ‘peinter’, which means ‘rope’, or more specifically, ‘the line by which a boat is fastened to the shore.’

So what is type and diameter of the painter?
It’s 1/2 inch. Thanks for watching.

I will confess, I did not know that. Love the translation…truer words for a canoeist were never spoken. Thanks for sharing.
