  • With the Esquif Prospecteur 15 outfitted, it was time to get her out on the river! This time, joining me for the adventure is my cousin Chris and our good friend Andrew. Join us as we make our way down the Connecticut river, navigating our way through low water conditions, camping, enjoying each others company and picking up some trash and needles along the way.
    I hope you enjoy this video.

    I look forward to watching you progress in that boat. Thanks for being a great steward of the land. I ran into the ugliest of canoe campers recently... I've never seen so much disrespect for the wilderness. I'll save the rest of the story when we eventually share time around a campfire. Griffin... ha. So cool.

      It blows my mind, the amount of people that disrespect the land. An epidemic we are as a species. It's shameful. This will make an excellent topic of discussion around a campfire.

    Got that new boat properly broken in. Scratchy class I+ and lots of dragging. The privy damage was a TRUE bummer! 😂Snowshoes and hot tent are on top of the outdoor gear now. I'm living a bit closer to nature in northern RI now: lots of lakes to explore and fish before freeze up. Ice fishing this winter is a distinct possibility. I hope that my new metal and plastic knee doesn't get too cold. My -20 Superior Gear Hammock will get some good testing, though I might have to head up to the White/Green Mountains to actually need it.
    Nice video! Thanks, and take care! ✌️👊👍

    Great video mate,
    Good on you and your buddies for picking up other people’s litter. The syringes ( wtf)
    Interesting you called the toilet a privy. An old English expression for it.
    You’re the first American I’ve heard refer to it that way. ( from an English guy😂)

    Needles, from the lady teaching first aid she says not to touch them. Just the residue of a certain drug can be very bad.
    Not to sound like a broken record, but here goes, a pole would save the boat from undue wear and tear. standing you can see the rocks easier, break, back up, side slip/ferry, etc. If you get into Maine maybe a group can get together and do some poling. Sorry I can't help it, I love poling. Looked like perfect poling water too.

      I know the risk, as an adult, I will take the risk before I allow some unknowing kid to do so. Did you make it to the part o f the video were I was standing in the canoe? First time I have ever donr it going down river. It was fun. Since this trip I have been scouting my land looking for good poles. I have found quite a few of them. Going to make some this coming winter
