Join me on this early spring solo canoe camping adventure in a hot tent. I paddled my Swift Prospector 14 pack boat to a remote island campsite and set up my Luxe Hexpeak 2P tent and 3W titanium wood stove for an overnighter alone. It was a great time with a delicious morning breakfast. Spring canoe camping reminds me of the fall colors that I missed so much throughout winter.

Real nice Video. I have one more tip for you. Always tie your boat off and flip it over at night. A nice light boat like yours can get blown away easy and flipping it over keeps your seat dry. And being alone you do not want to lose your boat. Hope to paddle with you soon, John.

@BackcountryPaddler 3 года назад

Will do that for sure! The weather was quite calm with no winds so I wasn't too worried. Thanks for watching, John.

Indeed.. I absolutely needed it that weekend! Living simple and camping just make life better. Very bummed I didn't bring my fishing rod. I had it on the road and it fell out of my canoe while portaging it! Ended up not wanting to make a 4th trip for it. Should have!

@davidmcfate3768 Год назад

Sorry to 'critique' but as someone who grew up running that river down into Warren PA where it joins the Allegheny... when the spring ice broke up and we were dodging icebergs and logs RAGING in the typically docile waters... the name of the creek is appropriately pronounced 'kon-a-wong-go' by locals in Western PA., (rumored to mean 'canoe won't go' in the Iroquoi language... that's a pun! Yes, it' spelled wrong!) We only ran the Conewango in spring flood or after heavy rains, it was too hard on the canoe's in the summer months, but it was AWESOME during the spring run off. Really LOVE your stove / tent combination!

@BackcountryPaddler 2 года назад

That's great that you get the family out but also want to solo trip in ADK! I think you'll like my next video.. going to be a couple weeks likely but it involves solo tripping and fishing there!

@redriverbluesman 2 года назад

Nice spot, Dude! I'm looking forward to getting out solo in mid-July. In the meantime, watching videos to live vicariously! : D Solitude.

@BackcountryPaddler 2 года назад

I can't get out for awhile so I'm doing the same thing as you... watching RU-vid when I can and living vicariously through those who are out. You could say I'm in the same boat, pun intended 😆

Very nice. You do a great job on your videos. Yes, Conewango only has that one island campsite. And it has the slipperiest mud known to mankind! Tip for the eggs: scramble them up and put them in a little plastic recycled bottle, like the kind you get a small milk or juice from McDonald's in. The lid screws on tight. A little more water in your pancake mix, then cut a small hole in the corner of your plastic bag and squeeze it out into pan, if you didn't already. And I agree with John V. on always tying off your canoe to a tree at night as you never know when a wind will kick up. Also, I assume you pack your coffee grounds home with you - you are a good man!

@BackcountryPaddler 3 года назад

That mud really was something. 😝 This was only the 2nd time I ever made pancakes in my life. Last time I used too much water.. haha...Good idea on the small bottle for eggs and I'll take the advice on flipping and tying off the canoe.

@KathyHardiman 3 года назад

Loved this video, and the tips!! I laughed out loud at your comments on the muck. We have been in that dilemma so many times over the years at put ins and takeouts on the Conewango - and, always remark, most slippery surface on the planet! :) Have fun, keep up the great work filming; and thank you for sharing. - Kathy in Olean

@@BackcountryPaddler Last year Ness and Turtle tied a good rope system to use - we had some loops and knots to grab and help our climb. You'd need something to loop the rope around, though. I was waiting to see how you made it back down, lol... How did you do it - that can be even harder!

@KathyHardiman 3 года назад

I think a bear stumbling through, too, could mess with a canoe. They have such a strong sense of smell.

@RussellVineyard 2 года назад

I'm just itching for a canoe trip right now. We've been having a rough spring. Each time I think it's over and we get a day of warm weather, it quickly goes away and we face temps below 50 and snow hits the mountains again for another week.

@justpassinthrough7 2 года назад

Great video! You can add masa flour or fritos to soak up extra water. Coffee should be brewed around 190 to not burn the grounds. I would say you need to switch to darker roast. Also it is good idea to preheat french press before adding coffee grounds to maintain the temp during the 1 min and 3 min steep.

@@BackcountryPaddler Not a problem I am looking at a hot tent setup for winter hunting. Any cons I should know about?

@BackcountryPaddler 2 года назад

I'd suggest a bigger one than what I used in This video. The Luxe Hexpeak is really small. I'm hoping to get a Pomoly tent and stove soon. They appear to be amazing quality from all of the things I've seen and heard from people I trust.

Looks like a great time. My camping plans were changed because of covid restrictions. I should be Crownland camping this weekend but I will have to wait for a month or so now. I have a similar set up and love it, have you tried an ultra light cot? Love that breakfast idea, I'll have to try it out! Thanks for sharing!

@BackcountryPaddler 3 года назад

I feel terrible for you guys up there right now. Crown Land should not be restricted! I actual found a light cot at Walmart for $75 last week. I should buy it. It's comparable to a Thermarest one that's nearly $250! Thanks for watching Jim. -Mark

@jimhamel7864 3 года назад

Nice find on the cot. Look for a small tarp 4x6 to go underneath your cot to keep your gear stowed and dry and it gives you a place to stay off the mud too. I'll have to watch more of your videos until we are allowed to go camping again. Cheers!

@BackcountryPaddler 3 года назад

@@jimhamel7864 I feel guilty being able to go when you guys can't. But honestly, it'll motivate me to get out even if just to bring you guys some content to watch to "feel" being out there for a little. I know I feel that way when watching other's videos.
