Definitely the finest camper in the world

I don't know who you are, this is my first video of yours I am seeing and I Literally NEVER write comments on videos but I have to.... It is incredibly refreshing to see someone openly documenting LEARNING life in the outdoors. Everyone else is out here acting like some Guru but to see you learning and just getting into the outdoors is amazing to me. Keep it up, just please tighten the drag on your fishing reel lol Honestly, your amazing and you are earning every ounce of viewership you get.

Big thumbs up for being so genuine with your adventure! Full discloser I am a 59 yr old white male who has lived in the U.P. for 57 of those years and what I really appreciate about your video is you don't have to go about things half clothed. You don't do that. Thanks for the post!

Seeing this video randomly is making me miss my midwest roots. Lakes, trees, fishing and everything the peaceful serenity of nature. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

Ive seen a lot of backpacking/ hiking/camping videos. This is the first time I've seen a young black woman braving the outdoors. I think its awsome! The best way to learn is getting out there and doing it. I'll definitely be looking for more of your content. Oh and btw...You are a beautiful young lady 😍 Wish I could find someone like you🙏

Never go alone, ALWAYS bring some type of protection.

I’m a black guy who has been living in Detroit for +30 years. For some reason, this popped up in my feed. Gave it a watch. Lady has a lot of positive energy about her. Subscribed as a show of support and, I guess, solidarity. That said, if she reads this, please be careful out there. Not going to say going this alone is potentially dangerous. Not going to say doing this by yourself might be unsafe. Just going to say, be careful and listen to your surroundings as you have fun enjoying the U.P. ✌️

Campfire smoke to me is like natures perfume.I think it awakens something in our genes from millenia ago.You will get better at it as you go.Your building some precious memories.Thanks for taking us along.

I watched this again because it is so soothing. Thank you for taking us along.

Obviously new to a lot of what goes into canoe camping. You've done your homework, and don't pretend to know more than you do. Keep it going, your doing great with the 'learning curve'. Be safe, enjoy, and well done! - Mike from Ontario Canada.

Living in Michigan, I love that someone is showcasing camping and canoeing from here. Don't doubt yourself as you're getting out there and trying new things, those portages may be easy to experienced canoers but doing eight in a day is a ton for someone new. It will be easy to you one day. Also, as someone mentioned make sure you set the drag on your pole, when casting it should be loose enough to pull out line with some resistance and then when you hook larger fish you can increase it so you are able to reel them in.

I've lived here my whole life almost and never been to these lakes! I simply must visit them soon as they look gorgeous, as is most of the UP, stay safe and enjoy yourself, be sure to come back, we have much to offer!

I thoroughly enjoy how simply you travel & how open you are to nature & good fortune, like catching the fish. Please keep sharing your experiences in such beautiful places.

Well done, you are very capable, and a gourmet cook too!

So enjoyable to see such a young lady taking in the sights and surprises of nature. I’m thinking I will tell my oldest son to carry a diamond ring when he goes backpacking because crossing paths with a young lady like you would be something he’d just have to be ready for. Bless you young lady, be safe and enjoy your time out there

You popped into a suggestions .Nice seeing a well spoken , respectful person sharing some outdoor adventures and oh btw the meals looked really tasty . You're pretty humble.... I think you did a great job too with everything!

Great video. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

I do believe the UP is the best place in the continental US to explore. I have plans to live there one day, I live in Lower Michigan currently. Thanks for taking us along. Your camera work, the food, and most of all your personality really shine in making it a pleasurable watch. I have a feeling this channel will do well for you.🌲 🔥 ⛺️

Love seeing someone in this neck of the woods. So quiet and beautiful up north.

I admire your grit and your gourmet camp cooking! I shared your channel with my daughter in MQT, and neither of us can figure out how you manage to look so camera worthy after 4 days. Keep up the adventures young lady.

What a fantastic Sunday evening. I just brewed myself a cup of fresh steaming hot coffee and I got a notification in my KZfaq feed that you had posted a new video. The way you present your adventures is absolutely wonderful and it is so visually beautiful and relaxing to watch. I am already looking forward to the next video you will post. So thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us. Please take care of yourself and your loved ones 🧡

I'm glad I found this video/channel! It's refreshing watching people brave the outdoors, especially since I never do. Plus, she's really cute and has a nice personality. Looking forward to seeing more of your content.

Nice vid. I grew up in the U.P., traveled the world, had some life changing events which ended up to be an unexpected blessing. Now I have a really nice off grid log cabin, and future permanent residence, on a lake southwest of Houghton that I enjoy so much. I just had 15 days off and I spent it splitting wood, fixing and improving things but I also spent a lot of time in flipflops sitting on my pontoon chilling. I enjoyed the spirit of your vid because at heart I am a Landlooker and spend time in the wood here trying to see whats over the next hill, usually with a flyrod as an excuse. Last year we found one of those things. Fishing on a pretty remote part of the Firesteel River my two fishing partners and I planned to meet up after 3 hours. It was 85 degrees. We met up at this random spot sitting on this river rock slope covered in moss. Springs made that spot 20 degrees cooler. As we sat in that air conditioned spot my son pointed out the huge Cedar trees, they were as big around as the biggest White Pines I had ever seen. It was an incredible moment. Enjoy.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="311">5:11</a> I briefly thought you were getting shot at 😅 Got meeee hahaha This experience looks fun and fruitful, however - happy for folks that can find some joy in a very organic way. Cheers!

This just popped up on my page. Since I am from Michigan I decided to give you a try. I found you refreshing and loved the quit scenery. I will definitely subscribe and watch future videos. Good luck in your future adventures.

Awesome! I just recently went on my first solo canoe trip. I really enjoyed how much wildlife you see when camping on your own.

Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for the tag along. You are quite the adventurer. I'm sorry that I missed your breakfast and dinner invitations. Take good care of yourself and always stay safe out there. 😊 😎

Welcome to the yoop, I live near Marquette and happy to see a video of someone enjoying our natural beauty and experiencing nature. I take it for granted sometimes. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the plug! Enjoyed the video. Congrats on making it back to Klondike, and back to boot. Be proud, that's not an easy feat. Next time you'll have to camp there. It's a beautiful lake and my favorite.👍

I’ve stumbled upon camping videos somehow & this video was recommended to me and I find joy just watching other people find joy in nature it’s super comforting but it’s a very beautiful thing to see people enjoying nature this is where life and reality is be safe out there and blessings to you … I’ll subscribe too

You definitely did a great job on the tarp. It does appear to be nice and taught for being your first time. 👍 👍

Just finishing up on a 16 day camping/kayak trip of my own. Not home yet but I have WiFi access again. You’ve learned a lot.... in a short period of time. Congratulations on landing that first fish on a solo trip. The expression on your face said it all.

Nice portage trip! There are so many great places you can get to by paddling that it makes the portage worth it. Nice job on catching and cooking too. A perfect fillet is nice but I like stir fry nuggets just as well😁. So cool to see you learning fishing, there's always new stuff to learn even after decades. A bit tighter drag helps and when they are pulling drag is when you stop reeeling otherwise the line gets twisted. Reel in again when you can gain line. Its a give and take especially with big fish. Thanks for sharing!

Better fisher -man- than I am. Canoeing is fun. Camping is fun. Both can wear you out. A certain amount of stress camping alone wears one out. Great video!

This is the first video i came across of yours and I absolutely loved it. It’s like so relatable at times and it’s awesome seeing you do everything. Kind of inspiring tbh! Can’t wait to see more stuff from the channel in the future!

I love this video. I have been putting my wife through the outdoor training camp lol. She is catching on great. I think you are catching on great also, the only three pieces of advice I will give is. 1. learn when to tighten and loosen your drag. (Different situations call for different tightness's, it took me a while to learn it also because I learn kind of slow.) 2. Cottonballs with a Nickle(ish) sized glob of Vaseline rubbed all over them are great fire starters. Stick them in a ziploc and when ready stretch the cotton ball out so you can see the small fibers in the middle and hit it with a flint and steel. It will light right up. I always carry about ten of them in my pack. (As with anything in camping practice a little at home before going out trying it.) 3. Don't listen too much to everybody's advice. Take all advise with a grain of salt and find what works for you. I've been camping about my whole life and seen a lot of people do things a lot of different ways. Being as I am in my early thirties I always take it as an opportunity to learn new things from those more experienced than me, I adapt what works and throw away what doesn't because there is no absolute right way to do anything and depending on where you are you may have to find creative ways to get different jobs done. Learning what works for you is part of the adventure of the outdoors so make sure to enjoy the process. Oh yeah almost forgot. 4. Bear spray. Never go anywhere without it. (Unless you don't have bears where you are at. (It seems like you can't go anywhere near my part of Appalachia without seeing them) Glad you are becoming a part of the real world. Respect and take care of our mother, Mother Nature, and most of all. Welcome to the club!!! :)

Nicely done. I'm impressed that you brave the wilderness alone. I'm a 65 year old black guy, and when I was backpacking, I only went solo once ( in Colorado). I came to this channel because I'm from Detroit (I've have been living in California for almost 40 years), but I've never been to the U.P. and was curious what backpacking there would be like. Well, ..., I salute your adventurous nature!

It’s refreshing to see an adventurous young woman simply sharing her experiences without sacrificing her morals to make her channel grow. Kudos!

You're truly are incredible and so very inspiring to watch and learn as we go

Did she catch a dead fish?

That fish looked dead already.

Those fish you caught were so lively. They fought really hard. Well done!!

Nicely done! Beautiful production 🏕️

You caught two dead fish 😂

Awsome video the upper peninsula of Michigan is beautiful very well filmed great job💯❤️

Camping alone can be so peaceful and stressful at the same time. But your video reminded me I need to go out again! ❤

As I started watching this, I said to myself, is this woman here in Michigan living out her final days. I've seen other videos of women doing these trips, but I don't know why i got this feeling about this one, is it because she's beautiful, the reason why. Lol. Great to see someone enjoy the beauty of our great state with the courage to do it alone. Be careful! Enjoy!

Fantastic! After finishing my senior year of high school, a friend and I loaded up his van with some gear and my old john boat and headed up across the bridge, north of Manistique, and west of Steuben to the Big Island Lake Wilderness. We were short on proper supplies and lacking knowledge, but we spent a week camped on the north shore of Town Line Lake. From that base, we explored Big Island Lake, Mid Lake, and Coattail Lake. What an adventure! Thanks for taking me back. Now, 4+ decades later, I want to get started canoe tripping. I just might make Big Island Lake Wilderness my first adventure.

Definitely could have had a meal with that fish. Don’t worry, there will be others. Need to set the drag on your reel better. Cool video. Thanks for taking me along.

Awesome job Woodsy! Love your videos! Stay safe!🥾🌲

Nice job! It’s tough to capture a trip like that. You did great!!

KZfaq algorithm brought me here since I got a ton of camping channel subs. I like seeing people venturing out alone out there and connecting with nature, people don't do this enough and what better way to find your own self, reflect and appreciate what's around us. If you like those lakes, wait till you make your way up to Canada and experience our side of wilderness!

That actually looks like a heavenly place to do some camping and exploring! Not sure I'd want to leave!

You're doing good things. Cool to see another person representing norhting michigan and all its beauty.

Just found you I love watching camping videos. I’m 60 years old and you’re doing a fantastic job live in Northern Ontario so I’m not that far away from you stunningly beautiful area.

First time I ever saw your videos. I like that you don't gloss over any difficulties and admit that you are learning. Also it is a very welcomed relief that you keep your clothes on unlike so many others on YT.

Great video, young lady! It's great how the proof is all On video, how you're gaining experience and learning! When you caught your two fish, I found myself feeling as proud of you, as I was of my 12 year old grandniece, when she uses a push-kick, to break a board in her martial arts class! Seeing you do that was really something! And all in the beauty of Michigan's UP! I understand that the portraying is tough. That's where having a partner would help greatly! But, you're managing it, just fine! Looking forward to your next adventure! You take care of yourself, dear lady!

As a raised Minnesotan city-boy looking to get out and do this more often, you make this look so fun and exciting. Cant wait to explore MN, WI, MI!

I dont know how this gem of a woman ended up on my feed, but I'm not upset

Hey you pretty woman... I'm very impressed by your courage to go enjoy mother nature and have fun with it... keep it up my friend and don't let anything discourage you... peace and serenity with the beauty of nature!!

That’s a good area to do in the fall. I’m impressed that you braved the flies this time of year! Good video, I look forward to more of them.

Good catch! I dream of fishing like this!🙃🙂

Great video. Good skills. Well done on the catch too! ❤ From London, England.

Great footage. Your really getting this camping fishing canoeing stuff down. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful video ,relax pace fishing and nature ...Sorry for my english but i'm italian ...i love carpfishing and bass fishing with spinning...saluti dall Italia 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

love how youre approaching all your curiosities unafraid of making mistakes, its so inspiring!

Keep doing what you’re doing, I really enjoyed your vlog. I love how you bring us into your thoughts as you reflect on your trips 🤙🏽🙌🏽💪🏽 Also that was a very nice size bass 🐟🎣

Congratulations on the fish. Great camping spot as well. Thanks for the upload.

I'm just here for the food! You do a good job of shooting it. I've hiked the Porcupine Mountains. It is beautiful up there in the woods, too. And no portages!

Great video. You cook some amazing looking meals!

I mean this video has it all. Nature, Fishing, Soothing vibes and a Stunning work of art with a spirt that seems so captivating. Keep up the amazing work!

Coldest place this ole Georgia boy ever been. Was in Iron Mountain some years back for Christmas .Never again Loved your video,take care.

You are incredible! I can’t believe you were hiking around with that canoe! 🔥 Aww-inspiring!

Talk about beauty the scenery is beautiful as well way to compliment nature

Girl I smiled and was rooting for you all the way through this video! So many high points in this camp but let’s start with the two fishes, WHAT!?! (((((Cyber high five))))) 🙌🏾 I love me some “glamping” but this here is some true camping & you make it look so freaking easy… so inspiring. I’m definitely going to give this type of camping a go. I’m just in awe of the whole experience. You know I was on edge watching as you made your way to Klondike Lake carrying that Canoe. In my Kamala Harris voice, “you did it girl, WE did it! We all are in this with you, SERIOUSLY and super proud & stoked for you. What an amazingly, successful camp! Bravo 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾 Oh yeah & the production of the video, ah-may-zing!!!

That was a decent size bluegill for a meal. Try fishing the evening as the sun is setting into darkness and you’ll probably catch some big ones. I love seeing you camp and canoe the U.P to share the beauty of the area with folks who are unaware of the region. Your camp cooks are making me hungry too.

I've never been to that area but you've given me the itch so thank you!

Another good video. Keep it up. I am definitely jealous of your vacations. As i said on another vid you're pushing me to do this. I have done hours of research to make craig lake a fall trip. Thank you !!!

That was awesome, congrats on the catch and cook, hopefully a walleye catch and cook is in your future.

I liked the video. Beautiful place! Keep going don't give up!

I live in lower and I’m super proud of my state all the locales are beautiful. You really did great keep it up!

I live in Michigan but dont travel much but loved this. Thank you for content loved it. Very calming

Your video popped up after a 1 hour rain sound sleeping video. This was the best auto play of my KZfaq life. This was refreshing. Looking forward to checking out your older vids and seeing what you do next

I haven't been to the UP in years. Such a beautiful place.

Learning by leaps and bounds! Sorry to be 74- joyful to see you starting out.

This video made me follow you. I used to live in Ishpeming, but now I live in Muskegon. You have done a great job on these videos, I love camping and absolutely LOVE the U.P. Would do just about anything to go camping up there! Well done, keep up the good work and keep the videos coming!

Wow! That is awesome! And takes some guts. Your beauty matches the scenery.

I'm 68 and still enjoy the outdoor life. Recovering from last in a string of surgeries, following cancer and I'm so glad to see a young person wanting to experience the true outdoors. My suggestion is to get a small lightweight tarp to allow you to sit out and cook in the rain.

I really admire your tenacity igoing to a place that has a reputation for not being the safest. And you just can't blame those bugs for wanting to bite you. Afterall you are the most irresistible thing they have ever seen. Take care.

Nice going. You did it! Congrats. Don’t stop. Keep learning and enjoying the outdoors. If I may, here are some fishing tips that will help: learn how to use and when to adjust the drag on your reel. For larger fish like that LM bass you want to tighten it a bit more so that you can bring in the fish quicker. Less of a chance to give the fish the opportunity to get loose. But with a trout on the line you don’t want to have a tight drag that will force the hook out of the fishes mouth. It’s a learning experience so take it slow and enjoy the journey. Also think about bringing a fish grip or net to easily hold and release the fish if you are planning to release it. Good fish handling skill is important to both the fish and the fisherwoman 👍 enjoy and have fun in the outdoors.

Looks so peaceful, and all the meals look good too!

Just found your channel, I watch a few Canadian canoeing channels Xander, Lost Lakes, Jim Baird… Very different watching a woman doing it, very brave of you going it alone. Kudos to you keep it up!!!

What an inspiration! Your trip was a success!! Thanks for sharing your struggles and keeping it real.

YES😍 another lovely video from you 👍🏼👍🏼 I’m watching from Sweden

You’re amazing! I’m so impressed.

Exceptionally smooth cinematic drone work at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="870">14:30</a> .

Great video, thanks 👍

Awesome job ! It’s nice to see you get out there and doing your best and trying new things. I have spent a lot of time in the U.P. Over the years, hunting,fishing and camping and it is the place I consider heaven on earth but not always an easy place to be . Stay safe and hope to see more of you in the future.

Congrats on a successful trip. Caught a fish (nice size too!) Meals look pretty awesome for camping 😊😊

Great job on the casting and catching that big Largemouth!! It didn’t take long for you to start casting like a pro! Awesome job! Fish on!
