Join us as we continue down the Namekagon River. That is a fast-moving river in a forested landscape. This river is a tributary of the St.Croix River. It is 101 miles ( 162 kilometers ) long and is located in Northwestern Wisconsin in the United States. Its course is protected as part of the St.Criox National Scenic Riverway. Watch as we paddle, fish, and set up camp in this extraordinary beautiful part of the world.

Nothing much better than a conifer woods, river, and autumn with good friends.

Beautiful fall day! I need to research for places around my area to kayak and camp. We have tons and tons of rivers and creeks to kayak, just not sure about the camping part. It really looks like a good time. A picnic table is the golden ticket. Words of wisdom,never trust the weather report… ever. I find it wrong most of the time. Thanks for taking me along.

Kayaking down a river is a blast. Plus you can carry some extra luxury items with. Thank you Dan for watching. I always appreciate it.

Looks like fun with friends in a Beautiful area...I recognized Greg and could tell which one was Ron, when they were standing next to each other 😉 Looking forward to meeting a fellow Jarhead😎 I did a lot of camping with 1st Force Recon in Vietnam 1970...Semper Fidelis, Brother...

Mmmm I love those Wi cheeses. I’d just have to love y’all’s Bloody Mary’s better. Cheeses & meats on a skewer. Beautiful video. Thanks for Runner & friends letting you film.

You can never have enough cheese in Wisconsin. thank you Sheilahenry for watching. It is always good to hear from you.

Wonderful trip! Thanks for sharing! If you like Kayaking, you really should try a "sit-on" Kayak. Much more comfortable and you don't have to care about if you get any water in it as it just drains back out!

Thank you Petekeener for sharing that. I will definitely check it out.

Love the hammock set-ups on this trip! :) Love the Namekagon too. I hope to float the entire thing this fall or next. I have done several sections so far but would be fun to try to do the entire thing in one trip. I can relate to the tough fishing, often shallow and fast moving - but beautiful....

We are thinking about doing the whole Namekagon River. I have done a couple halves. But never the whole river. Been hiking the willow almost every day. One of these days we will bump into each other.

Another well done video. That first morning I think Runner wanted more then oatmeal for breakfast.!!!! Maybe bacon and eggs. That young couple have taken down that tent a time or two. Had a good system going. My oldest moved to Indiana and it feels like it's as far as China but they have to grow up. Thanks for the video and Take care, Al

@@AdventureswiththeMarine yep. 3 nights Lake Elmore, Vermont. First two days high winds. Hung in a lean too for the first time. No snow. Fat bike ride was half ice half mud. Still had a great time. Have to start making videos again some day. Take care , Al

Great video Marine. Looking forward to getting up there soon. I am wondering what kayak you're using, I met you at the WFB hang and you aren't much shorter than I am. That kayak looks kind of small to me.

@AdventureswiththeMarine 3 ай бұрын

It is a Wildness Experience Pungo 100. ( 10 footer ). The weight capacity is 300lbs. Not as fast as the 12 footer. But better for the rivers. I have used that kayak for 15 years. Took it up in the Boundary Waters many times. I named it the USS Turtle. It was so nice meeting you at the Frozen Butt Hang.

Kayak Jousting!! (3:04) I'm sure Runner's underquilt is a 30 degree or so, but I've found the wind protector (6:08) isn't so good for zero degree underquilts if they're snapped in place. It's not low enough to accommodate the extra fluff and I end up compressing it with my butt. So, I just leave the wind protector loosely connected by the elastic straps. Or maybe snap at the upper snaps only.

@AdventureswiththeMarine 4 ай бұрын

I have a Under Quilt protector from ZQ2Q that I have had for years. It will adjust perfectly on and size under quilt. And very lightweight. Another thing that I notice is the Multi purpose under quilt, may do the same. Thank you LousyFibs for watching. Much appreciated.

@@AdventureswiththeMarine If you do go for a trip back down river to hudson I highly recommend coming through the stillwater to hudson area on a week day. I came through on a weekend and the traffic was terrible! as I am sure you know living there. They really are not looking out for small kayaks in those yacht lanes!
