@@mikeknape7064 great! It’s a fantastic tent. I went with a 7.5ft stove pipe and that seemed to do a great job. That’s what Seek Outside recommended and it seems to be doing well.

@@DrDitchpickle thank you! So glad you enjoyed the journey with us!

@@willong1000 haha the conversation definitely came up about pack rafts! It was fun regardless though, but definitely would have been easier. Hey thanks for that advice. I try to practice good ethics when fishing (and really any outdoor recreation) but had never been taught that one. I’m newer to fly fishing so I’ll for sure remember that and make sure to wet my hands before handling them. It makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

@@alexisstrain934 the large blue one? It’s a food barrel. Pretty handy for long canoe trips. Easy to store stuff in and I bought a harness to go with it so it’s easy to carry.

@@JeffBachtel it really is no joke! Haha thanks, glad we didn’t get altitude sickness either.

@@TenkaraTickFarm I’ll check him out!

I lol’d at this knowing the joke here

@@MaineOffGrid. 100%! We felt that for sure. It’s incredible!

@@MaineOffGrid. well I hope you enjoy it! It really is a stunning place!

@@TimTheJeepGuy thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Utah really is a stunning place! We couldn’t get over how absolutely dramatic everything was. And you’re so right, you feel the solitude and silence a lot and I love it! I bet that would be a fantastic time of year also. Yea we went in early November. We got good weather, but it seems like it could go either way depending on the year. The last day was pretty chilly, but the rest of it was perfect. I want to do more of that canyon system for sure!

@@jessecotter1285 because it was a fun challenge, not much other reason that that. It’s gorgeous paddling those alpine lakes so that was worth it. We definitely could have just backpacked it, but for this trip, my point was to try and find a place to canoe trip in the mountains. And it was fun!

@@MaineOffGrid. it definitely was a long drive but totally worth it! You live in a beautiful state! For the gear, there were some rangers at Churchill Dam that offered to take our gear to the end of the rapids for like $10. It was nice because we could just focus on running the rapids. Not an option you usually get haha. I hope you get to do the Allagash someday, it’s an amazing place! Thanks for watching!

@ That’s awesome that the Rangers offered to help with that!

@@MaineOffGrid. it was! All the rangers were great. We met several along the route and they all had great stories to tell and were always super helpful.

@@richardmitton4115 haha I was thinking the same thing! It got gusty in that canyon! Almost lost it a few times haha. Thanks for watching!

@@ejo19871 hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

@@Looselipsof56truths haha, very true! Doesn’t seem like there’s a clear universal definition lol 😂

lol in Texas they call ponds….tanks.

@@larjohnsonrfl6161 haha good question :) Thankfully no, but I had a mic attachment on it and when I accidentally dunked it I stopped to take the GoPro off and make sure I didn’t ruin the mic. Thankfully I didn’t do that either haha.

@@toddprobasco9728 thanks! Glad you enjoyed the journey with us!

@@todd-617 haha well it was definitely a challenge! But also fun.

@@tjlarsen5 thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. You’ll have a blast! It’s amazing up there! We went end of September to early October. Got a little chilly towards the end of the trip, but for the most part the weather was incredible.

@@Beyond_The_Treeline Nice, We're debating between May and August right now. We're thinking about starting at Johnson Pond like you did, would you be willing to help us out with a few questions on the first part of your trip? If yes, what's the best way to contact you?

@ yea totally! I’d be more than happy to give you any info I can. Shoot me an email at beyondthetreeline23@gmail.com and we can discuss more. That would probably be the easiest.

@@thetroutking_1 thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

@@Chateunit the stove we used in the tent is by Seek Outside. It’s one of their titanium hot tent stoves. Worked out really well!

@@antonioduran1065 thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. That area is stunning!

@@SCOTT-vm5nj glad you enjoyed the video! We were using the Seek Outside Twilight 3p and their recommended stove as well. So all from Seek.

@@oldsmugglerflyfishing thanks!

@@notquiteultralight1701 hey! Glad you liked this one too! Yes, and I totally meant to shout you out for it because you were the one who recommended it to me! I like using it. Good question haha. I’ve been really blessed to have several people I can go with on these trips. Some of them are friends I grew up with, some in the recent videos are guys from a small group I’m part of through our church. This guy is one of them. There are 6 of us and I’ve been slowly getting them into these longer trips with me. I definitely understand how hard it is to find people. I’ve had to ease some of my friends into it through shorter trips. I’m also part of a canoe club and a lot of those guys go on trips together too. So that also seems like a great way to meet people. But yea it’s hard sometimes to find people who want to do the same kind of adventures.

@ so good to hear back. I like the stove because of its size, burn efficiency and the fact that the size fuel you use is too small to be over harvested in popular backcountry sites. Plus you can break it by hand so you don’t really need a saw or hatchet. On people to go with, I’ve considered standing up at my church during joy’s and concerns during service and offering to chat after service during coffee hour about going on trips. You may have inspired me to do so. I did finally pick up a ZOLEO just in case. Of course with the ZOLEO you need a wide open shot to the heavens which can be a tall order in VT. I’m a hammock camper as of now but that can change. I kinda like the floor less pyramid tents from ddhammocks. At least with floor less you might have a couple plants in there with you in your temporary home😁. Great to hear from you and you take care. NQU

@ I agree! It is super convenient because of all that. I’ve enjoyed using it. Yea great idea! You’ll have to keep me posted if you find anyone to go with! I’ve been surprised with how many people I run into who are open to stuff like this. They may just not have all the experience of longer trips. But then it’s fun helping someone get into the outdoors and experience some of these places. The ZOLEO is a good idea. My friend has an Inreach so we just typically bring that along and I haven’t looked into some of those other satellite devices. This was my first time using a flourless tent and I really liked it!

@@bryanjelinski8036 well yea we definitely passed several lakes we wished we had been able to fish. We did a lot of hiking around and didn’t always have our fly rods with us unfortunately. But still had a lot of fun!

@@Mainepolingguide yea I really like it. Paired with that wick it’s a great fire kit.

@@death2peepz I get that feeling completely. Can’t wait to be back myself! I hope you get back to the BWCA soon!

@@wildersmithadventures thank you! It was a blast. Glad you enjoyed it with us!

@@AliyevRashad I’m so glad you three can enjoy the adventures with us. I’m sure with two young boys you guys will have many adventure! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Eze! How are you? Hope all is well. Take care. NQU

@@notquiteultralight1701 All good brother thanks hope you're well too!

Another excellent video, sir! I have to ask, though...a sidearm?

@@mattheworgan2 tell me about it, I didn’t want to leave!

@@charlotex1 we did too :) Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

@@bethcook1576 it really was!

@@davemartin3579 it was such a cool place! We were blown away by the scenery. Thank you!

@ and so many people I follow are always pushing to get everything in with no time to spare, no room for hiccups. You took a few days to just relax, enjoy and take it all in. That’s exactly how I plan my trips! Glad you shared this with us, and, as usual, looking forward to your next one!

@ glad you enjoyed this one too! And yes, it was such a great pace! Really felt like we got to enjoy the beauty of it all and explore at our own pace. Thanks for watching!

@@iCanoe_ thank you! Yea the fly fishing was a highlight but definitely challenging in the wind. We made it work though! The red fox was one of my favorite parts. Super curious little guy. Thank you! I’m still learning this new camera so some shots are definitely out of focus, but starting to figure it out more!

@@thepeacerunners thank you!

@@nkyork yea it was wild. Kinda sketchy at some points lol. I finally got N Truchas this year from Trampas Lakes. But that route was really challenging and wouldn’t recommend an approach from that side haha. Never have done Chimayosos but that one looks like it would have some incredible views from the top!

@@nkyork it is so beautiful out there! That is a great goal! Unfortunately no… I totally should have, but skirted around the side instead. Kicking myself now haha.

@@nkyork yep!

@@Blackbelt_97 no permits needed. It’s all just wild camping. So you’ll see spots that people continue to use, but there aren’t any facilities. Best practice is to reuse sites that are clearly used. You’ll see plenty on this trail all along the way. There aren’t really any sites above treeline though. So climbing the peak is easiest to do as a day hike from your camp. I usually try to camp at the lakes or rivers. Then you’ll have plenty of water and wood for a fire. If you go you’ll have to let me know! And if you have any other questions let me know. Happy to help if I can.

@@Beyond_The_Treeline much appreciated thank you!

@ you got it!

@@pnfctg12 it really was! And definitely got a bit chilly at night. Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

@@joshuavalinsky it’s a felt fedora. I bought it when I was younger because it made me feel like Indiana Jones lol 😂 Turned out to be a great wide-brimmed hat for long paddle trips!
