Aside from some weight savings I don't see why anyone would get this monstrosity over the Haven Hammock Tent. Haven obviously didn't invent the bridge hammock but they improved the original bridge design idea so that it becomes applicable for ordinary people. Great video btw

Thank you man. It going to give me a peace. Good bye.

Nice video. What is the weight without the tent, poles and stakes bags?

When l did the newspaper strips years ago l lightly crushed up the newspaper first then cut it into strips and put scotch tape to hold it closed then tied it with twine. I then held the end of the twine and dipped it into the wax a couple of times. It burns well enough to start sbout any kind of fire. I think it is a little less messy.

I just looked up the fire starters you showed from Lowe’s. You sure got a deal! Maybe they were mismarked 😳. I just checked. Lowes and Home Depot didn’t list them. Walmart’s price is $37.00 for the 48 count brick. Inflation is really bad down here in the States 🤪, but that’s a crazy amount. Good for you and thanks for the video. If anyone find those firestarter for less than 10 bucks please reply to my comment. Have a great day!

I have been dehydrating so far. I have not been aware that dehydrating diminishes the nutritional value of the food you dehydrate. Would you know how much is being lost? I am surprised that in your rural area, there are 50 people with the freeze dryer who are ready to rent theirs. That being the case I do not think that it is very likely that someone would make money from it as there is too much competition.

I thought that you were priding yourself on being cheap LOL Just kidding. I wish I could have one.

Did you have to get a permit for the Obabika River provincial park? Thank you

Some details that might interest you! 1. When trying to center the canoe on your car, the foam canoe blocks can sometimes roll right off the gunnels if you push from the canoe from the side side while it is on your car roof. Ouch! Pool noodles work better than the foam canoe blocks! I use 4 four-foot pool noodles for my 17-foot canoe - two on either side. Cut a slice right down the center from end to end and push them onto the gunnels. They are stiff, thick, inexpensive, easy to install, and easy to find. Also, since I'll have up to 8 feet of pool noodle on each gunnel, you have little chance of scratching your car. If you can't find pool noodles, you can also pick up pipe insulation from the hardware store. They will work the same and are already split down the center. 2. If you don't already have a roof rack, don't bother getting one for your canoe! It's easier without it. Most are screwed into the sheet metal of your car's roof. If you put too much stress on them with straps, they can pull right off! Most roof racks are made of hard plastic and will break! Driving down the highway at 60 miles an hour with a canoe will create a lot of stress on the rack anchor points. They really are not designed to carry a canoe. The above method is more strong and secure, and provide more surface contact between your car and canoe. Plus, you don't have to buy a roof rack! 3. Rather than using a center strap that goes through the back door frames, through the inside cabin and across the top of the canoe, try this instead. Get another set of hood attachments that he used for the engine compartment. Open the back doors, place one on either side of the back door frame, and close the door on the strap. Then use the straps as anchor points for a strap across the top of the canoe. Just don't open the back doors until you are ready to unstrap the canoe. The straps are easy to make and will cost less as a DIY. 4. Just shaking your canoe once it's on the roof to see if it moves is not a good test of how well it will preform under the stress of the wind at 60 miles an hour. Be aware that the straps on the front will pull the canoe forward toward the front. The anchor points that attach to the back need to pull the canoe back in the opposite direction. As an illustration, imagine you are driving down the highway with your canoe strapped on the roof. The car in front of you stops suddenly and your canoe goes flying into his rear window. Make sure that the rear straps are situated so that the canoe will not drift forward from a sudden stop. Happy canoeing!

That's the point of using a ferro rod everyone knows how to use a lighter

You did some of those impersonations a little too well 😂. Thanks for the tips.!

Easy and practical. Thanks for sharing

I want a recreational lake tripping for Florida's Small shallow rivets and going in between lakes on the St. JOHN RIVER for l9ng camping trips and hu ting Gators.

Stevewilldo it made me do it

I just learned about this method a couple of days ago. It is by far, the easiest way to lift a canoe to place on your shoulders.

Thanks :)

I like that you use original ideas. Too many people are just regurgitating the same information these days.

During our annual trailer camping trip this month, my wife and kids and I drove up to French River. What a spiritual place. Now I have the backcountry bug. I grow grapes for a living! Are you near Niagara? Thanks for the great info!

Perfect video, greeting from the Netherlands

Thanks ! I'm truly novice and buy my first canoe soon ! Thanks a lot

At first I thought oh no, another cotton round and news paper DIY wax video. I’ve been in situations where 1, 5 minute fire starter was not enough. What I liked about your fire starters was the sustained length of time that they stayed lit with, a useable flame. I especially liked the multi pad method. Having fallen into water over my head in the middle of winter steelhead fishing, I experienced that situation that I thought would never happen to me. Had I not had a cinched wader belt on and a quick way to make fire I, wouldn’t be here. At times like that you don’t have time to use your knife to shave fat wood or use a bow drill to make a fire. Although not cheap I, carry Orion campfire pro flares with me and Hell’s Fire fire starting clay for those, it’s never going to happen to me situations. I’m going to make some multi pad paraffin fire starters at my next chance. Thanks for the video. The 893

Thank you....... useful, as long as it holds and doesn't open/break

Alright I’m gonna hang out in the woods now see ya never

Hi thank you for the very informative video. I'm new to camping in my van and looking to boondocking in Barry's Bay Kaszuby area. Can you please recommend a nice place there? Thank you

👍👍💯

Very useful

Amazing summary, thank you.

Do you bump your head into the strap inside the car?

Love the happy music

There is more of an art involved with mastering a single paddle and it takes experience. Double paddles are quite easy to figure out much sooner. For that reason, I prefer to use a single blade because it's more of a challenge and more interesting to use, not to mention more versatile. I will admit that double can be faster, but I'm not in a race on canoe trips. Just my opinion.

(Problem with comparing these). I couldn't find the spec's of the RPM's. I would totally bet both motors have the same RPM. Also, the same pitch prop. So, technically speaking, both motors should just about do the same. Although! Adding a little more power to be more efficient will increase speed, and quicker acceleration. So, if one was to step up to an 80lb thrust. Still probably wouldn't see much of a speed increase. It actually might start decreasing due to weight in the boat. But boy-O-boy it sure would take off fast.

Some interesting info: the grit number refers to the number of abrasive particles per square inch. I.e. a 80 grit sandpaper has 80 abrasive particles per square inch. Also, if you really want to buff up your gel coat use XXXX steel wool as a buffing “cloth”

Try melting Vaseline, and dipping in that FIRST! Pop in freezer. THEN dip in paraffin wax!!! 🤓❤️

Not that I’m an expert or anything but all of those contents can go in a granite seat pouch under the canoe seat then you can portage all of it under the seat

6:02 hi there! I do appreciate your video. Thank you so very much. here’s a little knowledge I’ve learned…. Hi kayak fish and I started off with a Minco to 30, what I did was go to a Bait shop that deals with minn kota. I cut the shaft down to 28 inches and that is perfect for kayak because you can do a 360 without the blade hitting your kayak also it helps when you get to shallow waters… I have upgraded from a lifetime fishing kayak to a pelican catch 100. I’m currently running a 55 on that yak with a 120 lithium battery.. all my trolling motors are cut down to 28 inches so far I haven’t had any problems with the shaft. It’s just I don’t go fast enough… but all it was a learning adventure now I just need friends to go fishing with……

That’s the exact dilemma I’ve had - everybody points you to CLUPA but how to use it is clear as mud. “90% of Ontario is Crown Land” but where is it??!! And where can I camp for free? Even people at an outdoor gear store couldn’t answer that. One additional step I see is to open the “report” on the information sidebar, but that just dumps a ton of data on the screen about a million possible uses, but one tiny line says something cryptic about “camping”…not a definite yes or no but “maybe” or “it depends”. Beauracracy run amok, but I think you have saved the day.

Try mixing the wax with petroleum jelly as well

Thank you

Very useful information.

It's called a Crab angle when planes do it. Assume it's the same with boats. Very useful when soloing. Great instructions...

That gental beast is Tiny he can be intimidating lol 😂

Awesome! Thank you so much for your thoroughness in the topic. I’m about to take my American Mastiff puppy who does amazing on walks, commands, car rides, and loves water. Going to try our first canoe adventure tomorrow morning after a hike. Wish me luck.

The difference I think is how many people camp at your site. In if everyone in Yosemite or Yellowstone just chucked their apple cores on the ground, the whole forrest would be replaced by apple trees in 1 generation.

Just use the Bic were not in the stone age 😅

Great stoves but be careful with the locking as I've had one of mine fall apart after the heat warps n twits it

I have the original solitaire (fiberglass poles). Great tent no issues. I use it for kayak camping, so the lack of storage is not an issue.
