Thank you! Appreciate the Sub got ya back.

Thanks! It was a blast. My wife is from Maine so she is no stranger to the outdoors and we've shared many great adventures. Thanks for watching

Thank you!

Thanks, it was. Check out some of my other videos, We've completed yhe whole river since this trip. ✌️

Thanks! I should have got some footage of the confluence of Namekagon. Love that house that's right on the corner where the rivers meet. Definitely having some fun with the drone.

That we are! We just finished the St. Croix last year and will finish paddling it's main tributary in a few weeks. I met a guy from Frederic by the name of Jeff Butler. He also paddled the whole river in just two weeks.

@@UpNorthAdventures what? You're in Frederic also?

@@whatupplaya7951 About an hour north. But the guy I talked to is from there.

@@UpNorthAdventures oh OK. And I may know him. I worked at the corner restaurant for a bit. It's a small world. Happy Summer to you 🌞

Yea I don't remember either. It can get a little hard filming or getting the camera out in time when coming up on rapids.

First come first serve, no permit needed. At least for the northern sections that we did. We had someone drop us off and pick us up with a trailer big enough for both canoes. Otherwise we would take two cars. Unload canoes at the put in, then go park one of the vehicles at take out. Drive back to the put in and start the trip. I've Never used a shuttle service on this river.

Ok awesome, thanks for the quick response. One more question, is the limited campsites something to worry about? Im sure it depends on what time you go in the season but for when you went did you have issues finding a campsite?

We had no issues, every site was empty. Keep in mind this was the northern most part of the river. The further down the busier it gets. It is also very shallow at times and I think that might deter a lot of people from doing this stretch. It gets wider and deeper the further south you go also. Might want to check the river level before going. There is a hotline number listed on the website.

Ok thanks for the help!

Thanks! Didn't get permission and found out afterwards that I shouldn't have been flying it there. Opps! So the intro for the rest of this series is from drone footage I already used. Thanks for watching.

@@UpNorthAdventures its all good, i was just wondering. after doing the mississippi i realized real quickly that the drone footage really makes a difference in the series. its hard to shoot footage of trees and mud for 62 days and still have something to talk about. the drone brings another level to the story! i was talking with the Wisconsin dnr and they have a special permission form im going to fill out. hopefully i can work something out... thanks!!

@@UpNorthAdventures What time of year did you guys go?

I think it was late June. The upper stretch is rocky so it's best run in the spring or when water is high.

Thank you! I don't remember what the gauge read. We did different sections each year and dealt with record flooding followed by record low levels. Either way it was still a great experience.

I don't remember it being an issue. We really haven't had any rapids that have been difficult. Shallow and rocky mainly. Enjoy!

Started at riverside landing in danbury ended near grantsburg at sandrock cliff. Looking forward to the section your talking about next year. Thanks for watching!

Opps sorry thought your comment was on my latest video. This one was from Gordon to riverside

We brought a bag of fatwood but it wasn't much. We managed to gather enough for a fire every night but slim pickings.

I'm using a warbonnet blackbird xlc. Which is my favorite hammock. I Also have an eno junglenest. Wife has a dream hammock that I really like too. Thanks for watching.

@@UpNorthAdventures I was recently up on the Namakagen and the St. Croix, the guys I paddled with run the Warbonnett and swear by it. I just switched to a Ninox flat lay from Sierra Madre, great hammock. Check out River Kings on KZfaq

Subbed.. looks good so far. I've never tried a bridge style hammock but seems people really like them.

The Ninox is a gathered end as well. I tried to get a Clark but they closed the doors
