- Hi. Among many things, COVID-19 has changed a lot of plans I had for the channel. Not being able to get into Canada this year has also allowed me to start exploring the Adirondacks in NY. I recently got my solo Swift pack boat canoe that I plan on taking to many different wilderness areas in the US and Canada. This St. Regis Floodwood Ponds canoe area in the ADK is absolutely gorgeous. My buddy Matt and I spent 4 days doing the loop and had a great time out there. Coyotes and loons serenaded us at night and the sun shined the majority of the trip. I plan to make far more substantial trip videos in the near future. Please enjoy these clips in the mean time. I hope you'll subscribe!
All the sights and sounds, and no dialogue. Makes me long for a solo trip to enjoy that experience again.
Great filming, by the way.
Cheers,
- Martin
I think I'll do a nice silent paddling video eventually. Have you seen Tumblehome? He has some great ones.
@@BackcountryPaddler I have come across that channel name a few times now. Time to check it out.
Thanks,
- Martin
It won't disappoint. Jason captures the feeling of what we love about canoeing. Wish I had his talent! Lol

Wow beautiful shots! Cannot believe how beautiful that area is. Looks like you guys had a ton of fun! Looking forward to your next video!! Don’t forget the GoPro and Tripod 😉
I'll do what I can! Taking the dog on her first trip. Filming and handling her should be......fun. 😆
Backcountry Paddler that will definitely be an adventure lol I really enjoy seeing adventure videos with animals. Gives the video a different feel it’s great! And having a companion is always welcomed (once trained well I’m sure lol)
Haha I agree.. only one way to find out!
Thanks for reconnecting! This trip looked great ...we have never canoed the Adirondack area...very beautiful! Last year we did Algonquin and of course...not this year...we are in Michigan so do a lot of river paddling. Cheers Colleen and Jonny
Adirondacks are a must! Similar to Algonquin in many ways but more mountainous. I've been to both now and both are fantastic. I can't wait for the border to reopen. There's so many trips ahead in Canada.
Hey! I live in Keene and am in the process of ordering a Swift for the purpose of doing multi-day paddling trips in the ADKs. I just stumbled on your channel and look forward to checking out your videos to get ideas. St. Regis area is def on my list! Thanks for providing an inspiration to me. There def is some nerves to getting out there and doing new things!
I can't even tell you how much I love a comment like this! Which Swift are you choosing!? I'm in love with the St. Regis Canoe Area. It's such a beautiful place. There are always nerves when canoe tripping, especially solo, but that just adds to the excitement! There's no better feeling in the world!
@@BackcountryPaddler Im looking at the same as you. I could fit both my dogs and gear. I wanted a pack canoe but it is too small for us. I was paddling/fishing on Saranac the other day and a nice couple let me take their Swift on a trial paddle. It was an epic moment for me. Thanks for putting out your videos! Keep up the great work! I have a rental cabin called Random Scoots if you and ur family are ever looking to adventure in this area!
@@shayetanner6431 just looked at it, really nice! I'll have to take you up on that. We stayed in a cabin in Inlet with the dogs last year and did a couple mountain hikes and paddled a few lakes. Definitely want to do that again!
I am watching your videos with pleasure, very successful😎👍
Great video brother! Relaxing to watch and chill to the soundtrack. Gotta plan a trip with ya soon. Keep posting the adventures.
Anytime, Nick. 😆
Great video! I have a similar axe. Looks like my Husqvarna Carpenters Axe. Cool Channel!
Thanks, those are cool axes too!
-Mark
@@BackcountryPaddler Is yours not the same?
Nope, Gransfors Small Forest Axe.
Is that a Wenonah Prism?
I'm not too sure, Joe. It was a rental from St. Regis Canoe Outfitters.
@@BackcountryPaddler thank you
Good adventure, I looking your camping overnight and Ducks swimming in the lake, enjoyble your day my friend😊
I have watched all your videos and love them . For you being new to you tubing your doing a great job, seems professional to me! Please keep making videos so we can go with you.
Comments like this really push me to keep going! I'm really excited to shoot all kinds of videos this year. Glad you'll be along for them!!
-Mark
Great video editing, thank you for inviting me on your trip, I can't wait for the next!
Allegheny River next? Soon?
I'm in lol
Pretty amazing for a first video! Welcome to the community Mark. See ya around! 👊
Thanks I was more or less just feeling it out on this one but it really was an amazing trip with a good friend. It's been really fun joining the outdoor community!! 👊
I didn't have the volume on. The hatchet with sandals was humour (humor) right?
Yeah, we were only messing around. I highly suggest not wearing sandals when using an axe.

Cool Video! I like your style and had to give you a subscribe. I make videos of my Adirondack canoe camping trips too with my Old Town Pack Boat! I've been thru much of St Regis Canoe Area and have documented it on my channel.
Nice! I'll check it out!! This video isn't good 😂 it was just some clips from my first time there with a friend. I'd like to think I've got some better ones to watch now!
Mark
I am guessing they are TENT CATERPILLARS. The web would fill with small bluish grey caterpillars…. They eat leaves of trees etc. When we get them in our trees we take a torch and burn off the web nests. Can kill a tree. Eventually turn into a moth 👍
You'd be correct!
Camping with a campfire and loons!
Can't beat that. Nice video of a beautiful place. ADK all the way. Thank you!
Loons make the trip so much better! Hope you'll check out my other videos. This was the first little thing I shot. Can't wait to get out and film more this year too! I hope to revisit this area and do a proper video.
-Mark
Great first video! I look forward to more paddling adventures. Got my sub!
So beautiful, great video. New subscriber, looking forward to following your channel.
Thanks! Glad you could join. I'm heading back to the ADK next week to film a canoe trip with my dog. Cannot wait to get back there!
I haven’t had a canoe in 5 or so years. I gave it up for a kayak. Watching your channel has renewed my interest in canoes.
I can't wait to get in mine and slow down a little this year. Substitute the double blade for a single more often.
What is the opening song? Nice vid!!!!!
Ahh...wish I knew. This was quite a long time ago. It's likely free music from the TH-cam Audio Library.
thanks for posting! good to see you getting out.
Thanks for checking it out Brian.
That was very enjoyable to watch. So peaceful. I would of loved to throw a frog out there for some bass between those lili pads. Love the sound of the loon, very relaxing. Thanks for sharing.
Adrian
Thanks Adrian. The loons were very active once we got to the more remote lakes. I did do some fishing but, failed. I need to dive into your channel more and learn some things. You would slay fish here!
Thats beautiful country, I was there last sept. the video was great thanks for sharing
Loved your Long Pond videos. They helped sell me on doing the trip. Long Pond was amazing...we had a great time there and even stayed an extra day.
St regis never gets old. I love the hike up long pond mnt, the fish pond lean-to and clamshell pond are my favorite places. Thanks for the youtube therapy to help tide me over until the blackflies are gone.
I absolutely loved St. Regis. I hope to bring you a full trip video from there in a couple months!
