Canoe camping / Waterbury Reservoir / Winooski River VT

Spent a weekend camping on the Waterbury Reservoir in VT. Also took a day trip down the Winooski river in the Northstar Phoenix. This was my first good river rip with the Phoenix!
A special Thanks to Tim Goodrich for showing me the ropes and allowing me to use some of his footage in this video.

Who's the man? YOU"RE the man! Great little trip, and great video. Nothing beats a little white water in a canoe. Thanks Brother! Joe

Thank you Joe! This was so much fun. I am addicted to the moving water! I can't wait to do and learn more.

Rivers are certainly fun. In a brand-new composite canoe, that first major scrape in the gel coat is a heartbreaker, but also a relief! My canoe is 20 years old, and I don't worry about it anymore. I was hoping to see the new Chinese hammock bug shelter, but I guess that the flying biters aren't that bad yet. Glad that you guys had a great trip, and, as usual, it was relaxing to watch. I should be back out in the woods in a month or so, once my new knee is broken in.

I am a bit odd in that I can't wait to get that first scratch out of the way, like you said, it comes as a relief. The bugs have not been that bad for me yet this season. I have brought the bug shelter on 3 trips so far. Never felt the need to set it up......not yet anyway.

Another excellent adventure. Lemon iced tea and whiskey is an excellent drink. Been drinking that since college. Never thought of adding Lemon seltzer to it. Really nice hammock system.

It has been a favorite of mine for many years as well. Try it with some seltzer! It's great

Never did white water in a solo canoe just 2 person canoes. Ball mountain reservoir in VT did a release on Mother’s Day I did several years and it was class 2 and 3 (the section we did) and it was a total rush. I still get a nervous stomach when I think about one of the big class 3 sections, you came around a corner and were right in it. Not for me anymore but will never forget it! Respect the river, practice and learn. Enjoy the adrenaline rush and be safe

@ItsGoodintheWoods Ай бұрын

"Respect the river, practice and learn"......I like that! Wise words. This was a ton of fun for me and I can't wait to learn more. That said, I know I know nothing about it, and realized quickly that I am scared to death of destroying that Phoenix....I have a trick up my sleeve.......more on that later! Sounds like you have had some wild times on the river! Thanks for sharing

Looks like an awesome spot! How bout that stove? The multi jet job? I really need another one....only have 6 now!

@ItsGoodintheWoods Ай бұрын

only 6......those are rookie numbers lol! Just kidding! 6 is a good collection. This is the BRS 5 star burner.......and it is awesome!! I love it. On trips that I don't have to worry about weight , but don't want to bring a huge camp cookstove, this is the stove. I have really come to appreciate this stove. You can crank it up to rocket status, bring it way down to a simmer and everything in between. Once those burners start glowing red like they do, it would take a hurricane to blow them out. Great stove. And affordable.

@SuperPangloss Ай бұрын

@@ItsGoodintheWoods well if I counted ALL my big Colemans prolly have at least 10 in all! And my Trangia, and wood burner I made from an old asparagus steamer! Wore out my Pocket rocket a couple years ago. And even have a couple butane jobs that I keep in my van and permanent camp. And of course my Blackstone that also rides in my van. So, in reality I prolly have 12 or 13! Will look into that BRS too!
