Looks just like the cover of the complete Wilderness paddler ❤

There’s tons of figuring been done in the hammock world as it pertains to tarps and all the nuances. Have you had a chance to consider any of the ideas/gizmos/techniques coming from that world?

Just go a old camper. Moving from a mohawk solo 13 and I'm excited to try poling through the swmaps in NC. Thanks for the videos. Tons of information I've been looking for.

Hi Lisa, thank you for such wonderful videos! I was watching the Brownie episode from a few years ago and your Bean Boot and Hat Video. 1) the square Dutch Oven you have where can a person find it? 2) Where do Maine Guides source their materials?

Great advice Lisa

Lisa, could you let us know how you stow a setting pole in your boat when paddling? How do you stow a pole in a tandem scenario? A solid wood pole is so long, it makes for an awkward arrangement.

Another helpful video, thanks Lisa.

VERY nice work coming down those rapids! Where is that?

thanks for these uploads. Helps pass the long winter nights! I 've often stopped on windy days, and lifted some large stones from the river, to weigh down my bow, throwing them back out when the wind subsides.

Lisa I do not see any snow behind you!!??? Did you sneak away to a warm place? I did not receive the invite!

Just came across your channel, and i *love* it!! Looking forward to the rest of the series. Keep up the good work. I'll be following you on your journeys. Safe travels.

Trimming the boat is the difference between a good time and a bad time. Every paddler should have a Kit/overnight/oops bag. That bag serves as both ballast and can save your life!

I’ve got a bunch of the alder stream packs. Love them!

Amen! Great discussion.

I think about times when I was a teenager paddling my first canoe across a windy lake and being blown everywhere because my bow was sticking out of the water so high. Please send this video back to 1979 so that kid can see it!!

As a long-time resident of Fort Kent, your presentations provide excellent advice and guidance that will ensure a fun and safe adventure in our "backyard". It also reminds me of how fortunate we are to live in a region of the world that we can proudly call home. Merci!

Excellent video!

Once again Lisa great video. It amazes me on how people mess this up. But That's why we have guides to teach people the right way.

Waiting for mine to arrive from Amazon. Your videos were a bit part of my decision to get it. Looks like a great little tent. Thank you

I'm always looking for large rocks when I'm out for the day, good substitutes are dogs, children, partners, friend who just came to fish

The blue tank looked like 5 gallons to me. maybe 4? I often see the poling guys from across the Atlantic, in Scotland etc. standing and poling down stream and they will step forward of the center yoke to put the bow into the down stream current trying to get the stern out of the current. but I do like to equal my boat out in moving fast water not too front heavy nor super light in the front. and for sure in a wind I hunker forward and it makes a world of difference. On a side note Lisa, I'm reading Above the Gravel Bar by David Cook in it he got to paddle with a crew in a 30 foot canoe across the the Bay of Fundy from Herring Cove, New Brunswick to Nova Scotia, 50 mile trip, to prove it was done by the native people. Its a fantastic read on the canoe routes of Maine and covers much of the state.

As usual, thanks for the tips! 👍🏻

Great videos , so glad to find your channel. Thank you. How long are those poles? Do they fit in your canoe, or do you rig them outside the hull?

I found this out the hard way. If I'm on a lake by myself with little gear, day tripping, I'll bring a few buckets with lids. I can fill the buckets with lake water, stick them in the bow, and empty them before a portage. If you want to be really cute, make them nesting buckets.

By far, one of the best "luxury camping items" lists I've seen. I just wanted to keep giving thumbs up! (But apparently i only have 1 thumb on TH-cam) i started backpacking over 15 years ago and have never heard the duct tape trick for bugs inside the tent. Wow. So many great tips in this video! I'd love to see a 3 minute video on canoe / river footwear, Lisa.

Baby poler here, Great tip on taking your time and the options for recovery

Thanks Lisa, what are the dimensions of your tarp 10× 12 foot ? It's a interesting concept, will definitely give it a try 🇨🇦

I like this video. I’ve been eyeballing one of these types of hot tent stoves.

''...you can see into the future, baby...!" Love it.

First time I’ve seen a stove pipe like that. Learned something new today!

I like the idea if this tent. However any chance 2 people can fit in the mesh part? Most of the time Im solo. I like the fact its lighter and also takes less heat to keep warm.

Happy Holidays Lisa. Thank you for all the great videos throughout the year .

Very nice, very peaceful. Thank you, and Merry Christmas 🎄

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year

Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing your passion with us

Lisa, i am old now, well into my 70s. But I spent years in a canoe in Maine with paddle and pole. Those were the times of my heart. Thank you for these videos which bring those times back, for the calm and joy they bring to my spirir

I tried taking my two labs down the Cobbossee this past summer and they both saw something they liked on the same side of the canoe and we came real close to checking how deep the water was. 😂

All so beautiful Lisa!! Merry Christmas 🎄

Merry Christmas from also snowy Nova Scotia.

Happy Holidays Lisa!!

Enjoyed your video. Merry Christmas 👍

We are so lucky to have rivers to paddle and family and friends to do it with. Thanks Lisa.

All the best Lisa! Enjoy your “ 3 minutes with a Maine Guide “ videos! Been refurbishing a 16 3/4 foot Kevlar Prospector and looking forward to spring! Like those leather paddle sleeves and will try my hand at making some after watching you! Thanks!

Merry Christmas, Lisa! Think Spring 🛶
