You made me cry! Your soul is beautiful and I share many of the same childhood memories of loons- and the smell of the adirondacks is something I will never forget. Thanks for bringing me back there again.
@gunneykanu I grew up paddling in the Adirondacks, Algonquin, the Boundary Waters, and a few other places. Now, I'm pursuing whitewater canoeing, so my travels take me to a variety of wilderness locations.
Several years ago I paddled the St Regis River section from Ochre to Fish Pond. It's pretty rough with carries and beaver dams but not much worse than the portage to Fish pond.
Very nice job. It's inspiring to see you actually filming it. I take many pictures, but video is a whole new level of commitment, and solo to boot, Bravo. Planning a Bogs to the Osweg 4 dayer in July, you got me thinking about video now.
Thanks! I love the Bog River area, it's a great place to paddle. Video does add a new element, but you don't have to make it as hard as I have done. Just filming some of your favorite spots adds more life to what would have been a single moment captured by a photo.
I am a big fan and this is simply inspiring. I like how you used the narrator theme. Your style of filming reminds me of the both the book and film Into the Wild.
Very well done my friend! Please feel free to post more.
Haha yeah, but I wouldn't trade the boat in this film for the world. It's a Curtis Companion, the only fiberglass one that still exists I believe. Although it is outfitted as a tandem boat, it is a great solo boat, and is the most fun to paddle.

I enjoyed your video very much. It has thoughtful commentary and the guitar music is perfect. Do you paddle in any other wilderness areas?

For river running, 60 lbs is light!

60 lb hat?!? You need a lighter canoe!
Nice video my friend!

Actually, 60 lbs isn't the worst. I have an ABS boat that is about 75, and a friend's that I use occasionally is almost a hundred.
Tenzing5945 2 years ago
WOW! That's crazy. You need a Hornbeck. They're like 12-14 pounds.

But 12-14 pounds is awful tempting.

Man, what a treasure. That's so great, nice! I totally understand what you mean.
You could always have both boats, though. Save your money, haha!
