Real nice video. I have kayaked Kettle Pond a number of times and always wanted to camp there. Thanks for sharing and showing me what it’s like to camp at Kettle Pond.
Love how ya have a Fresca! Don't see that too often! And OMG, a Carmel Apple! Two of my favorites in things in life - lol! Excellent site you found there! As far as Kayaking songs, How About Proud Mary - Rollin' on the River! 😃
UA-cam lets us see what is going on with other people to get a foot forward on our own trips. So I'm glad the stuff I'm learning as I do multiple little remote trips can help me and other people work it out for the future.
Nice trip Rachel, sorry for you it had to end early. I really appreciate that you identify the locations and specific camp sites on your various journeys., thank you!
@@RachelWhelton Have you ever camped on Hermit Island in Maine? They furnish photographs of each of their sites to show folks the layout. One of nicest camping experiences I’ve ever had, however, some of the sites are closer to each other than you might like.
Loved the video. I have never taken my gear and gone kayak camping. You make it look easy. Love the suspense of the red cabin, the Loons and the huge spider. I would have worried about the spider chewing through my tent during the night. As always, you inspire! I loved the Waterbury trip too. Can't wait to see the next adventure!
At 1 am I woke up for a bathroom break and saw the giant spider murdering another slightly less huge spider. I thought about trying to sweep him away but I feared he might be too quick and try to attack me. I decided he was probably not a people-eating type and left him alone.
Your adventures are so inspiring. I just returned from a 3 night solo camping trip to Island Pond. I have yet to do any solo camping in a remote access area....but maybe someday🙂. Thanks for your videos, Rachael
@@RachelWhelton Hi again.... I stayed at Brighton State Park, a sweet campground. This campground is nestled on Spectacle Pond with the larger Island Pond a half a mile from the campground. 🙂
Another beautiful trip Rachel! Thanks for bringing us along. Looks like a wonderful spot. Did you miss Millie?😁 It can be a lot of work to bring her along I’m sure. Take care!🙂
I missed Millie but she would have gone nuts with the four red squirrels and their non-stop shenanigans, not to mention the two big dogs who came right through camp due to the trail going around the pond!
I have to say .... That is TOO MUCH WORK, for only a 1-nighter .... How is the knee coming along Rachel ?? (Walking those trails on "un-even" ground is actually a GOOD thing .... Helps to work and "strengthen your accessory muscles around your knee and ankle joints ) 👌👍👍👍😎😉
You have a good point but I see all these trips as chapters in a book. I would rather have 10 one day trips than one 10 day trip. At least during this phase of life with family stuff going on. Maybe the future holds longer expeditions. I want to go to Alaska someday. And Norway. And Nova Scotia.
GREAT VIDEO!!❤ I AM FROM LONG ISLAND NY and I am planning a camping trip to VT where can I find a place that has access to electricity in a tent campsite do you know of any?
There are many campsites with "hookups." However that isn't my area of knowledge since I keep going to places without it. Even if you find everything you want to know on the campground website (for whichever campground you find), it is still wise to give them a call. Often they have extra information you never knew you wanted to know!
well when you are paddling down the Missouri to St. Louis with a season full of beaver pelts you can sing this one. Everybody knows then best canoe songs are in French. ua-cam.com/video/Yko-mQMKm2k/v-deo.html
I never click on links but I watched it and of course did not understand the words. But the girl was pretty freaky! Why is she watching them. Don't really want to know ha ha ha.... I would not have done well in the past.
@@RachelWhelton It's from the Tv movie "Centennial" by James Mitchner. The book was better. You would have done great in pioneer days., I bet you could skin a buffalo.
What a great relaxing trip. Nice you had a tent to separate you from that scary spider. Gee, that was big!
Yes, I am still having spider flashbacks.
I am addicted to your videos. Keep it going Rachel!
Thanks for this lovely adventure Rachel!
You're so welcome!
Thanks for taking us along. ... Planty more close by. 😉
Another nice relaxing video. Something different! You give me great ideas for future trips.
Great - glad to hear it! Thanks.
Love your videos. It unstresses me,
Thanks to you
Happy to hear that!
Wonderful paddle and camp. Thanks Rachel. Boy those little red squirrels sure are entertaining not only to watch but to listen also
Yeah, Chip & Dale. Crazy little creatures.

Oh cool! You would probably have a totally different adventure every time even if you camped at every spot!

I was waiting to hear Row, Row, Row Your Boat! 😁
Yeah, I love the little snacks. I have to limit myself and only bring along a few things. Otherwise I'd just keep eating it all.
Thank you for sharing this trip. Love the remote camping. I've yet to do - on my list.

Yes, it is hard to find good details on specific sites. I wish every campsite had photos and reviews.

@@peterfagley772 I haven't heard of it! Thanks for the tip. I will look it up. There is so much in Maine to see and I've hardly touched the surface.

@@RachelWhelton You are brave! Keep the videos coming. I enjoy your channel so much. I love the photography too. You have talent!
Omg this was such a great adventure! I love your trips and the beautiful places you go! Thank you!!! ❤️🥾🥾⛺️🍁🍂
The emojis are so cute. Thanks for the nice comment.
that is a nice little pond fished there many years ago..like your photos and video content, thanks for sharing safe travels
Thanks. I love hearing about these places. It is nice to think of you sitting out there in peaceful nature, fishing in the pond.
Your adventures are so inspiring. I just returned from a 3 night solo camping trip to Island Pond. I have yet to do any solo camping in a remote access area....but maybe someday🙂. Thanks for your videos, Rachael

That spider looked like a Tarantula to me. 😱🤦🏻♀️
This is the third biggest spider I have ever seen. Saw larger ones at other water areas.
