Apparently if I read the comments the only impact this video had was to bring more food. I don't know how you have the patience to keep responding to peeps saying the same thing over and over, "bring more food". As if you didn't address that in the video. I appreciate you talking about how the only way to learn is to get out and do it, something most the commenters apparently missed. Any trip you don't die on is a good trip. Don't listen to the (perhaps well-intentioned) haters. This trip was a total win because you learned something you didn't have knowledge of before. Thanks for the cool video.

Great video.... "It's a progression..... mine was more like diving off the deep end!!" - Great line right there!! I remember the first time I went kayak fishing. I was out there for about 5 hours. Got back to shore, sat down at camp and felt like total crap. My whole problem was "sea sickness" - didn't effect me while I was in the kayak, my body got accustomed to the movements on the water, but when I got back on land..... whoah!! I'm still a working man, sitting behind a desk 5 days a week, and I thank the Man Upstairs for my bunch of "KZfaqrs" that get me out in the woods all week long through their experiences. I get out on the weekends and have my fun!! Thanks for sharing the videos - your honesty is refreshing!!

I love that your just so honest about your mistakes or how you’re feeling. Some other channels make camping seem amazing and comfortable all the time when it really isn’t! Some times there are some bad days, sometimes you don’t bring quiet enough food and sometimes it’s way colder than you planned. Thank you for showing your progress and remember to look after yourself! 💛

I'm not sure why you don't keep 2 or 3 mre's with you for the just in case moments.... They are easy to carry and quick to make.

I appreciate your honesty and your determination. You seem like the kind of person that would make a good friend and camping companion. For a "novice" you show a great amount of outdoor skills. We, as you stated, have all made mistakes in our early attempts at wilderness camping. Two of the very first things that I learned were to bring a sufficient amount of food, both proteins and carbs, and to have a warm sleeping bag or heavy blanket. Unless you are trying to show that you can SURVIVE, you want to THRIVE, so you can enjoy the time in the wild! Third thing is for you to be extremely careful about getting into a "low blood sugar" situation. I am a diabetic, and I have at time gotten into that situation. It is NOT pleasant, and it IS dangerous! Keep some foods with you that will spike up your blood sugars quickly, just to be on the safe side of things.In my early years, I tent camped all over the United States and Canada. Yes, you must be aware of the bulk and the weight of everything, but you are out there to have fun and be comfortable while doing that. I have also done a lot of canoe camping, both solo and with a companion. That is probably one of the most satisfying ways to go camping and fishing, because of the stealthiness of the canoe gliding along in the water. You get to see so much wildlife along the way!

I consider you to be an incredible person just for the fact of encouraging you to do what you like even without experience, personally I think you represent all of us who want to do it and for different circumstances we can't! They were all rookies once, Joe Robinet, Zack Fowler, The Wooded Beardsman, Chad Zuber, Sweedwoods and so many others also went through this, and your showing it is important for people to see that not everything is rosy!

A long time ago in a Galaxy far away a couple of friends and I rode our bicycles to the river to camp out. A real severe thunderstorm blew in and my friends hopped on their bikes and headed home to Momma and left me there alone. I was eight years old! I had an old 9 ft cotton picking sack for a hammock with a canvas tarp for cover. I made it through the night with heavy rain, wind and thunder and lightning. When I got up around daylight I was absolutely starving. Luckily we had set a trot line the day before and there were 3 catfish on the line. I cleaned and cooked all three and while eating the second one my friends showed back up and were drooling over the third one. I let them have it of course. Renewed with the energy from my breakfast, we played all day and spent another more peaceful night at camp. Amazing how much better things look on a sunny morning. Keep it up Bro! You're doing great. BTW I agree with leo ll

Another great video Rob! We learn as we go and humility enables us to grow even quicker. Take care of your health mate!

Rob your approach is refreshing. I really enjoy your channel because of your honesty. You share your hardships and failures. Other You Tubers edit those out, making them seem like perfect bushcrafters. Lesson learned from this adventure. Always pack some extra food and trail ready snacks. It is easy to get run down and exhausted from the exertion of paddling and dehydration. Always bring extra layers and go with a sleeping bag with a temperature rating lower than the forecast. Temperature can change fast out there and rain and wind can make it drastically colder. Beauty of that sunset on the calm water was worth the hardship. Thanks for sharing the moment. You are an inspiration, keep up the great work!

ALWAYS TAKE 2/3 DRIED FOOD WITH YOU AND A FEW BARS/COOKIES GET YOURSELF LOOKED AT AND TRY TO CAMP OUT OF WIND WHEN COLD OUT AND STAY SAFE LOOK AFTER YOURSELF NO ONE ELSE WILL THANKS FOR THE VIDEO TAKE CARE OH AND CARRY HOT CHOCOLATE AND TEA BAGS IN FOOD BAG

Great film 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The King is back. Peace from the UK once again brother 🇬🇧🙌👍💨💨💨

pleasure to watch as always and as my wife is fond of saying.... every day's a school day

👍👍 respect for the camera work PLUS camp work/paddling. U the man

Your channel is a honest channel and you talk about your ups and your downs, that's why I think your channel is great. You keep going on, I'm learning from your videos, keep going brother 👍👍

Great videos as always ! 👍🌲

Always enjoy your videos.

Great video, Rob. Hope you're feeling back on form now. Keep up the good work. ☺👍

Beautiful sunset Rob! Thanks for sharing!!

I really liked the video Rob, thanks a lot! Wind is the worst... Life experiences wow, some good some bad and we learn from the mistakes and revel in the successes, trying to always move forward. Keep on doing what you enjoy and things can only get better. I hope you get your health sorted, I'm also having some issues but haven't gone to the doctor either because of all that is going on. Take care and be well! Trent

Good morning 🌞 from New Zealand.. love your videos

You are honest and I think most other channels are embarrassed by their mistakes and don't give us the facts. I do agree with other comments about taking precaution with food. If you catch fish it's a bonus. This is a dangerous trip, face it it can become life threatening in a heartbeat, bring what is necessary to survive.

Good video Rob, glad to see you are doing OK,. You are doing the right thing, being honest and humble, a good old English trait!. Stay safe Rob. Kind regards from across the pond.

Nicely done! Love the video and it has me really jonesing to get out!

Such a good time buddy, love lakeside camping 🏕😊

Not eating much isnt going to help with the cold. Pack a few bits of grub in case you dont catch anything next time. Why torture yourself?

Good video pal, some great scenery there, and I really admire your honesty, keep it up!

Yorkshiremen are born tough (or just plain stubborn) either way happy first anniversary for your channel. Entertaining, relaxing, funny but like a Yorkshiremen, always true.

Just keep doing what you're doing. No need to justify or explain anything. Just try stuff out, learn, improve and share - just like the rest of us are doing in all of life. Happy to see your channel develop. Cheering for you.

Very nice outdoor and bivouac session. Really nice to watch⛺️🌲🪓🔪🏕🔥🤠⛺️

Beautiful spot for camping and the lake.☺👍💚🌳🎣🔥💜

Im a big fan of joe and the corpral .. Your doing good mate. Keep at it. Love this stuff.

You are very brave to try so much on your own. I love listening to you while you describe your experiences so honestly. I will continue to watch you...peace.

Great senery! Much better on the other side with no wind! Cheers

A lot of work put in for all these camera shots! Much appreciated. Loved the loons in the evening.

Thank you for taking us on your canoe trip it must have been so peaceful for you God Bless you

Now this is what I call a real tarp ! Tent size and it covered you .

Great video buddy - perfect for cheering me up on lockdown in london

I spent 2 summers in high school practically living in a canoe in northern Minnesota helping my dad as a live bait dealer. Canoes open up a new world. Thanks for another adventure. Get to a doctor!!

It's all good Robert. Stay positive. Pre-plan everything. You're doing awesome, just remember...Health first, or all else will fail.

Hello my friend, thank you for sharing another award winning outdoor adventure video. You look very distinguished in the moustache. The sunglasses give that Joe Hollywood look. I really enjoy your informative and entertaining videos. As always, the best of good things for you and your family. 🤗

Been thinking about getting a go pro,,footage looks great.. thank you for sharing. maybe you should go get checked out about not feeling well..prayers for you to get better.

I have the same thing as you. The cold sweats come too. I find making sure I have food and making sure I eat even when I’m not hungry if I’m doing a lot of exertion works.

Hey it’s Karl. It’s hypoglycemia. I have it also. I have to eat something every couple of hours. If you don’t your blood sugar drops, you get shaky, get a headache, lightheaded and eventually you can pass out. Keep plenty of snacks with you. When I go camping I keep a large bag of m&ms, raisins and cashews mixed up and a handful or two every two ours works wonders.

It reminds me of an overnighter where a forgot to bring a fire starter. I wanted to turn around and get home. But i tried to make a friction fire for 11/2 hour and it almost worked. But then i gave up and eat gold food en went into bed early to get warm. I good hit my selves but at the end it is al about learning. See how much you have achieve in the last year! Really a lot! And there wil be more learning moment to come, embrace them! Greeting steven.

I enjoyed your video. Thanks

I have been a fan of yours for quite a while I live in MiamiI have never reached out to you I want you to know how much I love your videos . We're having difficult times now keep doing your videos they are incredible

Hey Rob. Scary moment, huh?!? Definitely keep peanut butter or hard candy with you in case that happens again. Most definitely get your A1C checked !! Keep up the good work. Canoe on the water and the rod tip down. Happy floating my friend !

Take a couple packs of beef jerky for those in between meals snacks

Good video, getting out there is the most important part of getting better outdoors. We all have to start somewhere. Congratulations on a year of good trips and good episodes. Bring food going light is great but you need fuel to keep the engine running, it’s insane how many calories you burn out in the woods. I always carry one extra meal with me when I’m out on a trip. Upstate represent 🤘🏻

Great vid bro, true knowledge comes with experience! Haha its a good job i wasn’t there, remember when i scranned a whole bag of trail mix in like the first hour of our trip! 😂 take it easy and always pack enough food at least until you can get to the docs, last thing you want is something to go wrong that far from help dude! Speak to jim and noi on the fishing bro they could give you some good tips! So glad you put yourself out there and started this channel, its like being right there with you bro, i know i probably speak for a lot of us back in England that miss you so this is an awesome way to see what you get up to out there! Congrats on all the success your channels had and long may it continue, haha one of my favs you’ve was the wallmart challenges 😂👌🏻 its been great to watch how your channels progressed and i always look forward to the next vid straight after i’ve watched one! Take it easy, Adz 👊🏻

A young man learning his lessons and limitations... Always a heartwarming story. I'm sorry that you got the short end of the stick on this trip, but I'm sure you'll do better on the next one. In fact, I'm about to go find out as it looks like it's available. Thanks for sharing bro!

Youre my favorite survivalist. Hands down

We no nah.... is that a Yorkshire canoe?! 😂 Love the videos pal keep them coming from a fellow Yorkshireman 👏👏

Well you fooled me and must be a quick learner if you only started a year ago. But it’s true you learn by doing and have now learned never to underestimate how cold it can be up there. Thanks for another fine and thoughtful piece.

Stumbled upon your videos a bit ago, I really enjoy and appreciate them. I'm an old and aging ex-Boy Scout (made Eagle scout way back in '80) who's not been out in the woods in way too long. You are inspiring me to head back out, thanks, man. If I could offer a couple suggestions, first, from what you are describing, it sounds like you might be dealing with hypoglycemia. My younger brother had it and experienced very similar symptoms. You should get that checked out. And make sure you take extra rations with you just in case. Also, as per your freezing at night, not sure of your sleeping attire, but I learned very early on in my Boy Scout years (the first two camping trips to be exact) that if you try to sleep in the clothes you wore that day, you will probably end up cold. The best way to stay warm at night, even with a lighter bag is to strip down to your birthday suit or at least change into fresh, dry undies and t-shirt. That way you're not wearing clothes that may be damp -- even if so minorly so that you don't notice -- and end up freezing because the dampness of your clothes cools you down more than you want to. I learned this the hard way on my first camping trip in the fall of '74 -- yes, I'm old. I slept with my clothes on and had a very cold night. My second trip, winter camping, I slept nekkid and stayed toasty warm all night. Thanks again for your videos. Stay safe and healthy and keep doing what you're doing.

Dehydration and too few calories came close to ruining a couple trips. Now I drink water every hour and snack every 2-3 hrs when I hike or paddle. It is just a habit that keeps me energized. And I am still starving after a day in the woods. Also, on multi-day trips, I always carry a couple backup pouches of freeze-dried just in case anything unexpected happens. Weather, busted ankle, losing the trail, whatever. Enjoyed the film.

Keep it up, your doing great!

Ya know what guys....I’m really respecting this guys honesty.I don’t know what his future plans are with this new venture he acquired. Whether he’s looking for sponsees to up grade his stuff..gas money from KZfaq...bushcraft..or time away camping. I really respect this outing he did and his honesty.Other than trying to drink on an empty stomach and the sleeping bag issue . He coulda had a better time.I respected the fact he didn’t bring a 10.000 luminous torch flashlight as in a lot of places in my opinion takes away from the experience.And if he’s trying to impress the vegans or minimalist mountaineers.Bud...don’t waste you life doing that.Unless eventually you like that or maybe the world brings bad luck and you have to live like that. Example...you coulda walked around the lake exploring or even walk around the lake walking in the water.If you like to take on some drinks maybe figure out a way to haul more gear to enjoy and make fun with it...for yourself.At least ya did it and told your truth. Being politically correct for KZfaq or sponsor is not the truth .The reality is a lot harsher when being forced to deprive.I suppose what I’m saying if I was posting videos using 4000 dollars worth of equipment and block out stuff because you tube or someone else’s kid didn’t like it...ffff Wait till everyone sees my fake colostomy bag...lol My time of you tube has come and gone....coulda made amazing videos over the years...who all used 10000 cannons to go camping.Theres tricks I do to this day no one has still figured out because I’m just not seeing the on KZfaq.This guy had almost everything he needed without breaking the bank...for this particular weather and lake.I liked your trip only I think I woulda had a Byers time...even without catching fish.thumbs up

1st off.. I love your boat so much! 2nd GoPro footage looks awesome! So many ppl frown on them,.. I think they are superb and underatted! Also.. eat boy eat! Love the content wish you lived closer and we could go on adventures together!

You should always carry a couple of Mountain House meals for emergencies. Extra instant oatmeal and beef jerky too. You never know when you'll get stuck out longer than you planned. Hope you're feeling better and all is well. God bless.

Great video as always ,I’ve seen people with the fishing rod cast out the back of the canoe as they paddle to the next spot hoping to catch a fish 🎣

You certainly have a knack for finding superb campsites.

Been there done that. It only took me maybe twice, to bring a lighter weight sleeping bag and freaking freeze ! Always bring a warm sleep system. You can always vent. keep your chin up ! Cheers

Loved the canoeing and camping video! Awesome as always! You should name your canoe the SS DEMO lol (noticed the tag still attached lol) I have some of the same experiences, especially when "exerting energy" doing adventures. My blood sugar levels drop suddenly. I carry Cliff and GoMacro bars with me in my tackle box/hiking pack/pocket (depending on what I'm doint) so if the "weak/dizzy/nausea/almost panicky" feeling hits while out doing stuff. I find a place to sit for a few, eat a bar, wait about 10-15 minutes and I'm good to go usually. On the rare occasion I've forgotten to eat that day (being excited to get out there lol) I will need 2 bars to "boost" my insulin level quickly. Dehydration can also cause nausea, weakness, and queezy feelings. I usually chug some h2o when eating my bar(s) just in case it's either lol

You've got to take care of yourself and get that checked out. My brother has tendencies to be hypoglycemic, he passed out in a restaurant once while waiting for his food because his blood sugar went too low. I started to mention the mullet last week, but decided better of it, hopefully the barbers will be back open soon. One last thing remember that Joe and Sean were both novices once and look where they are now... I've been watching Joe for a long time, I've gone back and watched his early video's he's come a long way and Sean's knowledge started with the Marines. I think you are doing awesome in the amount of time that you have been doing this. Keep it up, I'm still watching even without out the comical side of you. :-) see you next week.

Your dark moustach makes you look dignified. It's wonderful of you to share your camping life, I appreciate that.👌💞💝👍

From a fellow Yorkshireman I can honestly say your videos are chuffin brill.

Good fireside chat! It's all a learning experience and there is some great content out there to reference; Corporal's Corner is one of the best! Get yourself checked out by your doctor and prepare for your next solo trip; I'm looking forward to watching your next video! Stay safe! 🎥🔥🐟☕

Like the video mate.

your videos awesome brother keep going i have lots of bad memories in my trekking camping career!? and when i remember those things i laughting :) and justincase you can carry some protein bars /handwarmers-candles

The same thing happens to me when I over exert myself. I just have water juice or a cookie on hand. Sit down for a few minutes. It passes for me. Meanwhile I’ve been out every weekend over the past six weeks. The first weekend when it got down to 20 degrees and I was sleeping on the ground with no mat I decided I’d acclimatize to having a heavy pack. Ha.

Definitely! 2 or 3 MRE's and you'll be good to go. They are a little heavy but worth the weight.

..hey be careful out there..always bring with you some food trail and a beef jerky will do just in case..whenever take a hke always got to have easy foods for trail..nuts..chocolates ..energy bar..your such an honest person..takin credit for your mistake..im thankful ive subscribe to your vlog..your true..your real

patrons some fine tequila... also diggin the bret the hitman heart shades...lol

Hope u get that sorted out. Stay safe.

Nice Trip 👍🔥🌲🌳🌞👌🤝

Vienna sausage cans (Chicken) can be your friend small compact. A little mustard packs, pack small. Works for me!

Bushcraft gear and camera equipment: Expensive... Glugging Patrón from the bottle, in a canoe, at sunset: Priceless

..hats up to you..salute your honesty ..i wish i could do solo camping and hiking but kinda hesitant cause im a girl..tho im been doin a lot of trekking and hiking for hours as in hours 12hrs the longest with my camping buddies

Main thing to sort my friend is your health before you go out again.... Keep up the fantastic vids. From leek staffordshire UK.

Ok Rob,I just noticed your tent is under your tarp with no rain fly,that's what I will do!

Love the videos. What brand is your tarp and what size? Thanks!

pack food for a week trip, never know what could happen and might not be sugar level, just could be a growth spurt, thanks for the adventure

Hey dude - you're honest about your lacks in bushcraft skills, but as you say, you'll learn from all the mistakes, and success you have, doing just that. Just great to see your videos, and keep up the good work. Might want to work on the endings though ;-) Cheers mate from Denmark...

Love it. Thanks for sharing. I am more cautious, and would have taken a couple of bars (breakfast/energy) especially as you knew from other times that you often need a wee hit of calories to keep your levels up.

Hi Rob.Good vid as usual. Please start packing some trail mix at least. You were so right in your reflections.Nobody knows everything.But you must be prepared for anything.It shouldn't matter if you don't catch any fish. Tip..take a metal canteen and fill it with hot water.Place it next to your heart at bedtime.

Awesome..that canoe on lake just hearing birds all by ur self..cool.done any fishing there?

I’ve never fished up north, but in the south, we slow the presentation of the bait to the fish when it’s cold. Work the lure and reel slower. Having the right bait it key, but also knowing how to fish it for your conditions is another. Ask your local fishermen. Hope you feel better.

Hi again Rob,first thing is take care of yourself.Could be your blood sugar.Try a small lure on your line,like a small fly looking one..like the trout think its a insect .I Always had good luck with them..nice video.like the tarp set up.What will we do tho when the spiders and mosquitoes come out,any ideas lol!

Hey man good show

Rob definitely make an appointment with your physician and have some blood work completed. Also preparation is priority on your trips....food, clothing, shelter, fire. I know you realize this but every trip in the bush provides us all with valuable lessons to learn from and improve upon on. Say safe bud:)

❤️❤️❤️

Hi mate, I had a similar problem when I was a teenager, used to have to carry glucose tablets with me. I'm nearly 60 now, and it only happens very rarely now, basically if I over-exert and don't eat, but I always make sure I've got something to munch on in my pack when it happens.

Hi Rob....sorry you weren't feeling good....It looks like you a had a drop in blood sugar...I have had the same thing happened to me...I then would eat something sweet....like honey, peanut butter or candy bar & then the symptoms would go away!....Nice video even through you weren't 100%.....Hang in there & take care!

You're doing real deal stuff brother not like these fake sissyboy camp outs🤣🤙 keep em coming and God bless!!

Hola buenísimo los videos genio

Oh Thai noodles. ♡♡♡

I dig the Minnie Pearl tag on the canoe. Check out the Don Julio 1942 for a real treat.

Taking the canoe out again . Awesome . How are restrictions coming along in Canada ? I have channel for ATV ridding and hunting . And I know this virus 🦠 has had some restrictions on that . Have you had any ?
