where did you get these map sheets? i've only ever seen the book and the ADK Paddler's map series. Cheers & thanks!

You have cut the best part out. You removed science and left us with an opinion.

My wife and I rented from OARS last year on our anniversary trip. Did bikes one day from Franklin to the end of the Sandy Creek trail, and canoed the next day from our Airbnb in Kennerdell to Emlenton. Really great experience and two beautiful days. We got to explore Whann Run about midway between Kennerdell and Emlenton, some interesting history there as well as a nice waterfall. Where was the island you camped on on night 2? Would definitely like to do a more extended canoe trip in the future sometime on the Allegheny.

Any chance you recall what number campsite your second night was? Thinking either 28 or 29

Been there and done that exact hike…have that exact mountain ridge in a pic…

Incredible ! Thanks for sharing this area. I’m headed up to the Adirondacks in October, this might be my destination ! Looks like a great place to spend a few days ! Peace ✌️

So funny, I was just up in New Hampshire and stumbled on a dude with an aramid Wenonah Fusion, possibly the same one you have? I was struck by the sunlight showing through the sides and then we had a talk about it. 30 pounds is unreal! Do you have any complaints about it other than the gaping hole in your wallet?

What did you take with you to get the fires started

Great video. Thanks.

We love big pond

Awesome to see you back!! You’re the best Christian! Great vid! Thank you!

Did you have to do any schooling for this job our was it on the job training? Thinking of making a career change.

Thanks for the fun video, Christian. Hope to paddle here next month.

More like this please :)

Great shot at 15:40!

I enjoyed this video! Thank you. It is very interesting to watch another survey crew at work. I grew up downstate from the Catskills. My first taste of surveying was in forestry school up by Lake George. They taught us with brass compasses on jake staffs, plumb bobs, and chains. The old way. Our teacher was one of the greats! All of the 30 year surveyor veterans that have taught me are in that category. The Total Stations will always amaze me. Precise but easy. Precise but tough. Opening things up and cutting line maybe isn't so easy, but it's a price that is part of the job. This video was made in early spring I think. I've done field surveying in Florida, Alaska, the Dakotas, and Texas. Florida and Alaska have big vegetation so there we mostly used Total Stations (Leica). In the Plains though, that is mostly open ground and grass, so mostly GPS is used (Trimble). Surveying in the grasslands can really spoil a field surveyor. Surveying in the North Dakota Badlands above the Little Missouri is all Glory! That is GPS work. I had less fun surveying with grizzly bears around in Alaska. The alligators in Florida weren't so bad. Mosquitos and hornets are more terrible. Everybody likes boundary surveys the best. Its finding the old monuments, survey crews love finally finding them. Boundary that involves encroachment might become a bit more tense. Many say boundary surveying is the core of Land Surveying. But building things feels good too, construction surveys. And there is plenty of new to see walking that line! Just like that old house. I sure wish I was out with y'all that day! Been away a long time and just lately I've become real homesick for the woods of my home ground, New York State. Great video! Thanks again.

Historically that confluence was very important in the evolution of our nation the French had a fort there George Washington and Christopher Gist percent there to try to expel the French out of the fort the history is very very important

Beautiful place. Thanks for making this.

Great video thanks Christian.. what did the noisy device find and whats its name?

Great video. But the audio could be better. Your voice is low but the camera picks up any bump to the canoe and amplifies it.

Great work - excellent videography. (Are you sure you don't do videos first, just "acting" as a surveyor? Ha.)

Nice trip. Would you share your tent and canoe models, please?

Hi I`m interest in that field and considering studying a Diploma in Surveying. How are the exams , are they difficult? And also is the Diploma enough to have a good career ?

I work at the largest sanitation company in Brazil as a surveyor. How could I become a surveyor in the USA?

Signs of leeches in those ponds? Any fishing?

I loved your Surveying video, are you planning on doing an second one?

@christiandenniston7177 Cool, just when I thought I had watched all the ADK canoe camping videos, you popped up in my feed with excellent videos and different locations. Wonder why you changed from the Bending Branches carbon shaft wooden paddle, and what paddle you used in this video. I was about to buy a longer paddle for use with the canoe so I don't get so wet.

Nice video dude. You make the lakes look great on camera.

Hi Christian. Nice videos. Wondering if I ran into you on Hunter Mtn by the fire tower a few weekends ago. I was doing the loop with my gf and asked you about the conditions heading down the Devils Path

Surveying is interesting, I'll probably do this for the rest of my working life. One day you could be in a open field on a farm, the next you could be in a busy city.

Hey , where did you get your map ??? Thanks

Awesome views and the quiet that time of year is definitely a draw for me. When hardly anyone is out, I usually am.

Terrific video, Christian! I didn't know you had a channel. Glad I found out, have to check out the other ones. Hope there's many more enjoyable trips upcoming for you. Chat soon, brother.

Really you did nothing...lol

Great video Christian! Best so far

Yet another great video and location!! Would be cool to get out there one time with you. My schedule is so wonky and hard to predict, but if everything ligns up one time.. would be awesome.

In July of 2021, I stayed at that campsite after checking out all the campsites on Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth lakes. Every night I was visited by a pair of loons who would come by and call out (I actually recorded one of their calls and use that on the intro for all of my videos. For many reasons, it was a memorable trip. I'm glad you had a chance to experience it as well. Did you get a chance to paddle Seventh Lake? Although it's small, I'd recommend that as part of a trip to the Essex Chain.

I didn’t know that the campfire prohibition at the Essex Chain was rescinded. Glad yo see it!

The Adirondacks are a gem unlike any other. Great video!

Wow Awesome adventure!!! Gow far do you hang your bear bag from where you sleep? What do you use to filter ur water, just boiler or do you filter then boil? Im trying to learn all of this

Great video. Thanks for bringing us along!

Welcome back. I’ve missed your videos. As I age, I find portraying more difficult. Were the portages in the Essex Chain relatively flat? Keep recording and releasing your adventures.

Great to see new content from you ! I will enjoy this video later ! Love the Adirondacks, heading out that way this upcoming season for sure ! Peace ✌️

You’re back!

This is a very nice workday. Beautiful day in nature, peace and views. Not like when you work ob bussy highway trying to get your young intern of his phone while fighting bugs day.

Be sure the twigs don't go passed the secondary combustion holes. That way you will be smokeless, and will have a cleaner burn.

Thanks for the great video! I was part of an Adirondack Mountain Club work crew that built the portage from clamshell pond to turtle pond. This was back in the early 2000’s. We had to re-route the portage due to beaver flooding. I had a great time camping on slang pond.

At high falls there was a small brass marker attached to one of the large rocks with the as I remember with the name Kelso on it I assume it marked the spot we’re his ashes were spread he died young, has anyone seen this ?
