Very beautiful nature, misty mornings especially are my cup of coffee. Your ability to catch the feel of nature at its best is very relaxing. Greetings from Slovakia.

I really enjoyed this one. Very well shot and edited. Isn’t it nice to have all day to explore and film? Watching you get blown around on David was tough to watch, but you handled it expertly. I was just at The Peak last weekend. What a glorious place. Cheers!

Late Oct. is a sketchy time to take on trips like this. One night of heavy wet snow, often 1 foot or more will dramatically degrade ones ability to travel, sleep, get dry. Tricky portages become extremely high risk with invisible hazards and highly slippery conditions. Sleeping accommodations especially the like of amok hammocks are entirely dysfunctional as wide body tarps are unusable under the weight of snow. Common exit strategies that often involve seasonal forestry roads become unusable, most unfortunate if your vehicle is waiting for you many KM's from maintained roads. You guys went into this just barely prepared for the weather conditions you got which is really fair weather conditions for late October. Yes you did fine and it seems it was a decent trip but consider how it's different if winter actually decides to give you it's first blast. A message more for those viewers that may need a reminder to keep the overconfidence in check when the wanderlust starts becoming an insatiable itch to be scratched. Late fall is absolutely not the time to be overconfident in ones backcountry abilities. Camping in January is way safer than late fall as you enter fully prepared for winter.

Yes yes and yes. Good advice all around. We were not not really prepared, particularly from a skills point of view. Thanks for watching and taking the time to weigh in.

If you have not already, you should visit a rheumatologist. Have your bloodwork done and include a uric acid test. I suspect that may be gout.

I really enjoyed your video that showcased how the simple sights and sounds of Nature can soothe our souls. One small suggestion. As the spring peepers, chickadees, yellow-rumped warblers, and white-throated sparrows were prominent, it would have been useful to put a caption up when they sang. Great work.

THanks! I'm working on getting to know the different bird sounds :-) I couldn't name half of them in the moment but often look them up after. I agree, it would be neat to identify them during the vid.

How many years do you think the Garmin In reach Mini will last before the non-replaceable battery is no longer chargeable? I am looking at options and this is something I might use a couple of trips a summer. But it would be great to have for the partner who can't navigate if I die or something.
@JasonIrwinTumblehome4 ай бұрын
Good question really. I've had mine for 5yrs ish and haven't seen any noticeable decline in retention. The newer ones last even longer apparently. Mine easily lasts me a week out in the bush with an average of 1 to 2 hrs of on time per day. I just use it to check weather periodically and to send a daily check in. If the batter started to go, I imagine it can be run with cable and power bank. It has a small yearly charge + a monthly fee but you can put the account into offline for the times you arent using it.

I wish I had both! If I had to make the decision today I would prob get the Prospector. I am liking the Key more now than when I first got it... I've learned some more solo paddle skills now. I was so used to using tandems (when soloing) that it took a while to adjust to a proper solo boat.

Is that canoe the “puddle duck” as shown in Gil Gilpatricks book? I built one and just love it. So versatile as a solo or tandom canoe. I built mine super light, only weighs about 36 lbs and a joy to portage

Yes! Omg 36 lbs? Mine is 60lbs! It was built long ago by an uncle of mine... his first build. If mine was 36 lbs I would probably never have bought a carbon boat. Id love to see a picture of yours.
