Canoe Camping DISASTER Strikes l Hemlock Canoe SRT l Northstar Phoenix l New England 

I am so thankful that the situation was not any worse than it was. So glad you are ok. Lets get the word out there....wear your PFD

Important share, thank you.

Thanks for sharing

God bless!

Holy cow man - SO glad you're okay - sucks to lose the boat, but hands down the most important thing is to get off the water able to walk. Also - SO DARN BRAVE of you to post a video like this - it's inspiring that you post the good and the not-so-good - we all can learn from this...

Thanks for sharing your experience. Your insight may save someone's life.

Glad you were wearing your PFD,bummer about the Hemlock but you can always replace a boat. Your able to paddle again another day,always a good idea having a couple of buddies along as well.

So happy you are OK! It happens...and it can happen to anyone...I've flipped in kayaks and canoe...no shame in it...glad you had your pfd...this video and Justin's will probably save somebody who will wear theirs now...your home...so it was a successful trip...

Glad everyone is okay! Sorry for the loss of canoe. That orange SRT was very nice.

Glad you're ok Joe. I folded a canoe before. I was too young and stupid to realize the danger I was in.

Dang glad your okay. Sorry about the boat but good lesson for all to remember how fast it can go sideways had my share of these lesson for sue.

Thanks for posting and keeping the awareness going. A lot about this is scary!!

Joe, I'm glad you're ok and grateful that you were paddling with friends who were there to help you out!

That Northstar is gorgeous, hopefully own one some day.

Glad to know you are OK. I never put my legs under the seat for this specific reason - always worried about getting hung up. A friend of a friend is a Ranger. The Ranger said in 40 years I never pulled a dead guy from the water wearing a life jacket! That phrase speaks volumes to me! As far as the SRT. Would you buy another? What do you think of it compared to the other fabulous boats you have? If you do this trip again, would you recommend air bags? At 56 and being alone most of the time I keep thinking I need bags and have been tethering my gear to the boat just in case.

Thank GOD everybody is safe! ALWAYS WEAR YOUR PFD!

Man, what an eye opener....so glad all is ok. What a scare.

Pinned my canoe in scotland 3 weeks ago, my daughter and I took an hour to un pin it, it was fuiiy submerged with all camping gear on board, so lucky to come out unscathed

I'm glad you and everyone else is ok. bummer about that beautiful boat. I always wear my PFD, NRS Chinook ! I have a hornbeck NT 14. it doesn't like the rivers too much, it tracks so straight - has no or little rocker, so it does not like to turn very quickly. I was thinking about an Esquif pocket canyon for the rivers. it a heavier boat, but could take a lot more of a beating and turns much easier. love your videos and Justin's as well.

I'm glad you're good, man. I know it's heartbreaking experiencing that loss firsthand. But you're here, and I seriously hope you are able to shake it off and get back on the horse. Hopefully, we can all meet up for a trip someday. My incidents really shook my confidence but it's starting to come back. I hope the same happens to you.

Hey, question. I have a bad lower back. Is a sit in kayak or a canoe better? No hauling.

Well then, glad you’re good.
