I realize I’m a little late to the party, but I just found your channel this morning. Spent my lunch hour watching a lot of three minute videos! I had to comment on this one because, as simple as this idea is, I never thought about doing it this way. People can say what they want to about UA-cam, but I learn so much from like-minded people on here... I wish it was around when I was younger!!! New subscriber here!
Welcome aboard! I started out with the goal of archiving and it morphed into a canoeing community. Truly grateful. Check out my website 3MinutesMaineGuide.com. It’s for everything I can’t do in 3 minutes!
Hi Lisa, can you do a video of what it looks like when you are about to push off on a trip? You have given us so many tips, it would be nice to see what it looks like from your stern seat point-of-view.
Hi Lisa. Great videos! Can you tell me what you use for the padding on your yoke. I've been experimenting with sleeping pad foam and duct tape with short lasting and messy results as the duct tape disintegrates quickly. Thanks
Remember when life vests were segmented? I had one of those fall apart and that dense spongy foam is what I use. For years I also used pool noodles. If you can cruise eBay or the like for one of the old segmented life vests the foam sections will last a lifetime. Good luck Yankee engineering!
@@3_Minutes_With_a_Maine_Guide That would be comfy because yes I remember. What is the tape you used and can you get a season out of it? Just heading out to put on a thwart rope, thanks for that.
They are LL Bean boots 16 inches high. Rubber bottoms with a black canvas upper. Which I’ve heard they stopped selling BUT they do still sell a waxed canvas upper. I wore leather for decades. Good but more maintenance. Plus takes longer to dry on a canoe trip. I love the canvas.
No but because you’re learning from a runt like me, you know the technique is solid. My 2024 Poling schedule will be out at the end of January. Check it out on 3MinutesMaineGuide.com
It has just the straps going over my shoulders for a really big range of motion. I need that for poling. I also love that the entire front is a pass through pocket for maps, gloves, cold hands. I don’t know if NRS makes this model anymore. I also line the straps on the sides it’s cooler in the Summer. Thanks for watching!

I just can't believe how heavy you dress girl! It must not be as hot up your way. Thanks for another tid bit of USEFUL information if I knew how to underline it I would. Lol
Lisa.. thank you for all the "minutes" you give us.. I always learn something!
You are so welcome!
This is a very useful tip Lisa. I certainly will install this on my canoe for next season! Best Regards, Chris
Glad it was helpful!

Inspiring! I have a new view of my tool box!
So glad. Stay safe out there and thanks for watching.

Yes I can. My first Spring canoe trip, I’ll do that. Good idea.
This was fun to learn
Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy you’re a part of 3 Minutes canoeists!

hi. i am curious.....what boots are you wearing. thx !!

@@3_Minutes_With_a_Maine_Guide are those soles good on wet rocks and muddy trails?
Genius!
Always good advice. Hope you feel better.🐾🙏🏻✌🏻🛶
I was getting over a cold. Thanks.
Do you have all men's classes?
No but because you’re learning from a runt like me, you know the technique is solid. My 2024 Poling schedule will be out at the end of January. Check it out on 3MinutesMaineGuide.com
Why do you prefer the life jacket you wear over a zip front style?
It has just the straps going over my shoulders for a really big range of motion. I need that for poling. I also love that the entire front is a pass through pocket for maps, gloves, cold hands. I don’t know if NRS makes this model anymore. I also line the straps on the sides it’s cooler in the Summer. Thanks for watching!
As usual, I just got smarter 😊
A Garmin GPS sinks like a rock.
Oh boy good to know. Never had it happen to me thankfully but good to know thanks for watching.
Good idea. A lot of people seems to have the "Ahem's" lately. I hope yours end soon. Thanks for the video.
Mother Nature doesn’t “ahem” she’ll tell you in no uncertain terms if it works or not.

The bugs were out. That too is made of bamboo and breathes really well. My next segment is on bugs!
Wonder if she knows Rick Aspenal
Sorry I don’t know Rick.
Great canoe 🛶 info as per usual
