The 1st multi day canoe trip of the season! In this video , we enjoy 3 days on the Connecticut River. Exploring the section between Claremont NH down through North Walpole NH. A journey of approximately 15 miles. This is a very nice section of the river.
This is also my first trip in my new canoe! A Wenonah Wilderness! I have been waiting all winter for this! The trip did not disappoint. The season has begun!
Enjoy,
Justin

Your steaks always look so good cooked right on the coals. You guys know how to eat on a canoe trip.✌

@ItsGoodintheWoods 3 года назад

It's my favorite way to cook them!

@bucktalesoutdoors7566 3 года назад

Always try to to leave the outdoors better than I found it.... thanks for doing the same Justin. Oh noooo , no open fires at camp site #2... Good thing you had your steaks the first night.... no fire, let’s move on down stream. The A-holes who built those fires were the same type of guys who leave their beer cans for you to pick up. No respect for nature or themselves as far as I’m concerned . Great trip. Thanks for taking us along.

Fantastic display of nature etiquette with the trash removal. That river hugs the Vermont border I guess. I’ve snowmobiled through Springfield many times when I lived by Killington. Upper New England is just great. A Wonderful place with beautiful people. Great trip.

Great video! Really curious on your camp coffee press cup plunger, is that a set or did you mix and match and where can find it?

@ItsGoodintheWoods 2 года назад

It is a combination of gear. My cup is an old Esbit 440ml cup. And the coffee press is a JetBoil coffee press. The Esbit mug is much lighter that the JetBoil Flash Lite pot that the coffee press goes with, and I got lucky that they work with each other. You can buy the press all by itself from JetBoil. It's not exactly cheap...but it's awesome.

@ItsGoodintheWoods 2 года назад

That screen thingy is the Jetboil coffee press. It is designed for use with a Jetboil Flash or Flash lite. But the mug I use (Esbit) is much lighter and less bulky than the Jetboil. As luck would have it, the coffee press fits my mug just right. It's an awesome little system. Jet boil does sell the coffee press separately...here is the link for it. jetboil.johnsonoutdoors.com/parts-accessories/coffee-press-accessories/silicone-coffee-press?_ga=2.267117646.1565852140.1628353284-2065993522.1626800051&_gac=1.187371098.1628355838.CjwKCAjw3riIBhAwEiwAzD3TiUq0lYdxlyCVSoC7sJ2-5CrgoL9L0gHFN9p6W7vUJ4u0-hPnV1_tVxoCHvgQAvD_BwE Thank you for watching the video!

@@andrewmacaulay1585 the side walls of this model taper in drastically. it's wide enough on the bottom to be very stable and capable of a good weight load. However, the walls taper in, to keep the paddler a bit more dry and it allows for the use of a double blade paddle. The taper also gives the illusion of a very slim canoe
