Haha thanks for the kind comments 👍 glad you enjoyed it, I had a lot of fun making this one. The video is a mix of 4K frame rates 120, 60 and 30 FPS depending on the situation. Scripting, colour grading and sound design played a huge part as well 😅

@@DerekSOutdoors Seriously advanced stuff. Amazing Derek! You gotta teach me a thing or two next time we go camping 🙂

Will definitely need to try the cold well when there is enough snow. I thi k I need the extra 18" of headspace in the shelter or else my face is too close to the pyramid tent wall and I end up with condensation just above my face and a snowing effect while I sleep

@@DerekSOutdoors You can just dig a well at the door, acts like a sit too.

I think it was nongshim clay pot instant noodle, usually I just eat whatever I find in my cabinets at home 😅

Haha I try, for overnighter type trips I try to do fancier backcountry cooking meals since it is less travelling and more about camp life 🧑‍🍳 On longer trips I don't get as fancy with the food, mostly just dehydrated meals that I make myself.

Even though I've been to the mountains so many times it is still amazing whenever i see them 🤩

Thanks, it is pretty awesome out there

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it and appreciate that you like the audio, I put a lot of effort into ensuring appropriate audio quality/levels/design.

@@DerekSOutdoors and it shows, professional quality.

Nope, I book 2 separate trips (and pay 2 separate booking fees) First one that would start at my access point and when I get to a road block on the system because it says it is too far distance then I would start booking a 2nd trip so I can go to the camp/lake that I want to make it to the next days.

Thanks Michael! I enjoy spending the time to get the right shots and putting together the videos 🙂 As for the BB Mini, it's a great little toy to have around camp, I am sure you will enjoy tinkering with it. There are a lot of good pots that the BB Mini will fit in compared to the original BB which was too tall for a lot of pots. I ordered mine when it first came out and waited half a year 😅... But it looks like wait times are even longer now 😱

It was definitely pushing the limit for the number of days for sure, hence the late night paddling 😅 How did your annual spring trip go this year?

@@DerekSOutdoors I had an awesome trip too, thanks. Like you, I did the T. R. but going with the current, not upstream :)

Thanks!! Maybe one day in will cook up epic meals like you, but on these high mileage trips usually just go simple on the food front

@@DerekSOutdoors Nothing beats a brook trout shore lunch.

Thanks for watching and the comments 😃 The mount is just a hodge podge of stuff l had lying around. Smallrig super clamp to clamp onto the canoe and 3 section carbon pole is just a tripod extension pole like this I had lying around (amzn.to/456Rt4G) .. and you just screw the tripod extension to the clamp with a 1/4-20 screw

@@DerekSOutdoors cool. It’s like a selfy stick. I am going to try and make one up.

@@maninthewoods yeah it is basically a selfie stick with a Clamp on one side, GoPro mount on the other

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!! ✌️

Hahaha fly fishing allows you to use lines the colour of the rainbow 🌈 And the moose was actually pretty far away, I didn't want to get too close. 300mm APSC so 450mm full frame 😅

🍻 cheers, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the kind words 🙏!! The birds were out in droves on this trip, it was amazing 😍. Looking forward to seeing your spring trip down the river, your teaser pictures got me excited to see what y'all got up to out there 😋

Thanks Dave, glad you enjoyed it!! It was an amazing trip and hope to get out on a few more this summer! 🌞

Yes it was!! It's pretty easy to recognize me in my tiny little canoe 🤣. The Baird's with that big 16footers coming through the small creek made my small canoe look like a mouse next to a bull 🤣

Haha seems like it, give it a few more days and let's see 😅

Thanks bud. And we'll find time to go on another trip later this year 👍👍

Thanks for watching :) glad you enjoyed it. As long as some fish were caught it means it was a successful trip! As for the fly rod, I usually bring a 6wt with a sink tip (airflow streamer max short) and a 4wt glass rod for dries/drydropper/nymphs. This year I was mainly catching them on streamers but other years the nymph does a lot of the heavy lifting.

@@DerekSOutdoors Indeed! Thanks so much for the info!! Keep it up :D!

It was a really good loop, I've never actually been that far down this river before. You had a really great fish year last season, so having an off day here and there isn't so bad 😅. Waiting to see where you went this year !! 😋

Thanks for watching! It is definitely not easy but a hard day out canoeing/camping/fishing is a ton lot more fun than having an easy day at the office 😋

Yeah, we should find some time to go smash em on the fly!! I saw you guys get into some big ones and lakers on the fly too!! That's amazing. Glad you enjoyed the video, looking forward to your trip!

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. I really enjoy making the content 😁

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it, many fish were caught, so many that they didn't even all make it to the video 😅. I am always learning and trying new things with recording and editing 🙂 The benchmade holds a surprisingly good edge, been battoning and smashing it up for years and still looks pretty new 👍👍 Looking forward to some of your adventures this year

Hahaha yeah good thing Jim the pro content creator knows how to work a camera!! noobie here cant even find the on button 😂 I always regret that i spent so much time setting up shots when the sun starts going down and I am miles from camp😅, but when I get home and putting together the video it makes it all worth while. Any tips on how to handle the slippery little buggers? they always just fly out of my hands like an airplane🛫

Yeah, the bugs were starting to come out on the last day of my trip, that's when I bumped into Jim and Ted Baird. I saw on their video that they ran into a ton of bugs on their first day so glad to have planned my trip when I did! Hope you were able to at least catch some good fish while you were out there!

@@DerekSOutdoors Yea, I recognized you in Jim's video. I still have to finish my video. going to post tomorrow. I didn't get to really fish when I was out there. I was too exhausted first day and on the way back it was too windy and choppy.

@@TobysWildernessAdventures looking forward to seeing how your trip went!! Sometimes when the weather is bad the fishing is good 😋

@@DerekSOutdoors It was a good trip. Definitely going again.

Yeah I decided sometimes it's easier to just pull out the ugly stik for a quick cast or troll between portages!! Not much extra weight . Decided to go with an ugly stik after breaking so many spinning rods on portages the past few years 😅

@@DerekSOutdoors Good choice on a rod . I went telescopic for the same reason.

It was a great trip!! Thanks for the kind comments. As for the net, I still have mine so it's another poor soul out there trying to boat brookies and lakers with their bare hands. Going to be difficult because they are such slippery buggers!!

looking forward to it!

It was an amazing trip, loved it, even though the 4th day was super long it was worth it. If you watch Jim Baird and Ted Bairds video you will know 😉, I saw them and I made it onto a little cameo in Jim's vid 😅

It was cool seeing that ballistic nylon boat of yours, I forgot to take some footage of it!! But i can always just watch your vids if i want to see it again!

It should be a 260cm paddle from what I remember and as for the route, you can send me a DM on IG 🙃

@@DerekSOutdoors thanks for the quick reply. I have a swift p16 and mistakenly bought a 220cm paddle. Soaked me completely the only time I tried it! I am thinking of getting one of the new p13s and will definitely need a longer paddle. I am not on Instagram so no dm ... am guessing on the Nip area.

@@DavidDunford58 yeah a 220 is really short. I got the longest one I could find to avoid getting splashed and dripped on and it has worked well. It does make it hard to paddle in the narrow stuff but it's a trade I am willing to make. I paddle my 16foot prospector with this 260 sometimes and it still works well. I didn't know they made a P13 now, I thought the smallest was a p14

Thanks!! Appreciate the comment from someone who knows the amount of effort and time that goes into getting the shots!!😀 Yup, I am sure the algorithm will catch up at some point, but I enjoy making the content for myself 🥰

@@DerekSOutdoors That's the best attitude, I enjoy making it for myself too!! Love that, I'm hanging on to that one 🙂 Hopefully we can go on a fishing trip sometime together, would be cool 🙂

Hahaha I don't seek the rain, the poor weather SEEKS ME!! You should do some fly fishing I am sure you'll enjoy it!

@@DerekSOutdoors I do! I love it, just favour the spinner sometimes for simplicity on weight/time sensitive trips etc, but I've noticed you barely lose any fish, I guess there's better control.I need to do it more

@@EzeAdventurer def agree that the fly rod takes more time and effort so when shirt on time I just pull out the ugly stik too. The fly rod has more flex so keeps the fish pinned better, but also makes it hard to net because the rod is so long 😅 it's a double edged sword

Thanks!! The fishing is always good this time of year. As for the boat, I left it half floating and went off fishing.. went back to it and it was tipped over 😱 lesson learned to just pull it all the way up to shore

Second!!

Glad you're enjoying the video, maybe it will hit 1 million views in the next 10 years 😂. Yeah that large brookie was a fighter!! Poor weather is usually rewarded with good fishing 😁

@@DerekSOutdoors Poor weather builds character! And looks like you've built a lot of it given every video I've watched so far has been Peeing down on you lol

@@EzeAdventurer hahaha the little bit of rain doesn't even come close to the massive wind and hailstorm you had up in the Yukon!! 🌧️⛈️ 🍃 With the weather you faced your character is the size of a blue whale 🐳 😂

@@DerekSOutdoors LOL that was epic! Loved every minute of that storm in the Yukon!

Yeah spring is brook trout season!!! Love the net tent setup, because you can set it up for as much or as little airflow that you want. Does take a bit more time than a free standing tent though but is a bit lighter.

Glad to hear from you Martin, hope your epic long trip went well! Jealous of the amount of time you got to spend out there enjoying the wilderness 🙂. Hoping to get the video out from the spring trip in a week or two. So look forward to that 🎥

H2O pack 12

Tat campsite on rosebary is one of the best, wide open and you can still find firewood. I have travelled the Tim from shippagew toward queer, this was before my TH-cam days (Going against current and paddled against a swift headwind back to the magnetawan access point) There were some wider open stretches that would be good for fly fishing from the canoe, but a lot of it was quite narrow and shallow with small log jams. I spent a lot of time dragging my boat through sand and mud because I did that trip in late June when the water levels were low. I am planning a trip up in that area this weekend, so I can report back on conditions next week.

@@DerekSOutdoors Thanks for the detailed response, Derek. Good luck on your upcoming adventure, look forward to watching it

salami rationing is a backcountry skill learned from many last day salami'less wraps of previous trips 😅 And thanks for the kind comments, I like to pack for single carry, it gives me the option for single carry when the portage is easy or do a double when it gets more technical. My boat is also quite small so can't hold a second backpack anyway... You know the saying, when you get a bigger boat or bag, "you find ways to fill it" 😂

Thanks!! It was a pretty awesome trip, getting to see the ice recede was pretty cool, especially from the drone. Hoping to get a longer trip done this year 👏

Yeah!! It was a really good Bao sandwich 🍞, def more work than just a dehydrated meal, but worth the effort when it's cold weather camping and not putting in a ton of km's of travel.

Yeah, it's a lot of work to only get an espresso sized shot 🥲. Good thing that nanopresso doesn't belong to me!!!😂

The one from this video is a Yama Mountain gear 9x7 tarp with the 1 person net tent.
