Canoe Camping in the Adirondacks / Lows Lake / The Bog River Flow 

Thank you kindly. Where do you spend most of your time paddling?

Food makes the trip! I like to eat lol. I'm with you, I can't wait for the season to start!

Heaven on Earth my man!!!!

I can understand why your dad used to go there! It's amazing. I will go back. For sure

@@ItsGoodintheWoods Next year, same time ? Let’s do it !

Good company and food can make all the difference! The wind out there sure can be pretty gnarly. We had a few interesting moments. lol. We heard there is real good bass fishing there. Maybe next time....I hope your next trip there plays out more in your favor.

Lol

Sounds like you have some great memories on that lake, about to make some more! Really cool that you are going back there with your family. It's an amazing lake. I hope it isn't too crowded. The secret is out. All the locals we talked to about the lake said the lake has gained a lot of popularity over the last 5 years. Last year in particular was the busiest they had ever seen. I'd really appreciate it if you could get back to me when your trip is over, let me know how busy it was. Have a great time out there with your family! Thank for watching

We could tell there was a lot of moose out there. We actually opted out of a campsite because there was moose sign everywhere. Lots of fresh prints and the whole are smelled musty. We were both all set with getting trampled by a moose at night. That is my worst fear camping in New England, getting run over by a moose at night as I am sleeping in my tent. I can see why you have hunted that area for 30 years. The thought crossed my mind about how awesome it would be to paddle out there and hunt whitetail for a week or two! I would be willing to bet, that if I live long enough I will do it. It is on the list. I really enjoyed this area. We had a fantastic time out there. I will be back. Thank you for watching this video. This was a very fun adventure

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and commenting on the videos. Cheers! Have a great 4th!

It is awesome out there. I am looking forward to going back someday

You are welcome! Enjoy your adventures. Lows is a fantastic spot to spend some time. I have not been to Lila yet.

Go camping!!!

Hahahahahahaha! So much fun man! To many more !!!

It's Good in the Woods You betcha man !

That thing sure would have made a great wall mount🤣. This was a fantastic trip. We have a 10 day trip coming up in October! I can't wait. Thanks for checking out the video. I am glad you found it.

🤣 Good stuff! That is hilarious!

This was a fantastic time. What a place. I'll go back someday. Craig and I just got back from another weeklong trip up in Maine. Tons of fun. I'll start working on that video soon!

Thanks man! This was a fun one! I am looking forward to getting back out there. Real nice area

This was such a fun trip for me. I want to get back there. I may try the portage on the dam rd to get in there this fall. Construction on the lower dam has access cut off. It would be nice and quiet in there this year. I am glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching and commenting

We did see a few people, but for the most part, the place was ours! It was awesome. I am looking forward to going back someday

I hope you have a blast up there this weekend! That is one amazing lake !

I agree! It makes for a fun adventure

We may be up that way again in October. Maybe. You are lucky to live in that area. Real nice out there

Yes sir! We are gearing up for a 10 day canoe trip in northern Maine in a couple weeks ! can't wait!!!!!!

It's gonna be cold and crazy!!

Thank you very much! Just went on my first trip of the season last weekend! I appreciate your support of the channel

Thank you! We adventure well together. This was a ton of fun!

Ya know what they say about New England right.....don't like the weather, wait a few minutes, it'll change !

An amazing place !

We are very fortunate to have access to such an amazing playground! This was a fantastic trip. Thank you for watching and commenting. I am glad you enjoyed the video. -Justin

@@ItsGoodintheWoods Forgot to sub on my last visit! Done!

Thank you! We like to have a good time. I am happy to hear you found humor in the content. This was such a fun trip. We have another big trip planned out for this October! I am really looking forward to it. Thank you for watching and the kind words. Cheers!

No problem. I'm heading up to the Catskills in a couple of weeks, then I'm planning a trip to Blue Mountain Lake, NY. I'm looking forward to your next video! Best of luck.

Thank you ! This was a fantastic trip! Looking forward to another.

You would be surprised at how often I am told that! Seems like there are a few of me out there lol! Lows is awesome. I wanted to get in there this season as well. I know of a way to get in there that involves 2 miles of portaging......but it wasn't in the cards. Would have been a good year to get there, quiet. Oh well. Maybe next year

You are lucky! I think it took me approximately 5 hours to get to the Bog River flow. Takes me a bit over 5 hours to get to the Debsconeag/Allagash area as well. Worth every minute though. Long Lake is an area I plan to visit someday. It's on the list. There is just so much I would like to do..... and the season is close! I can't wait! Should be a fun paddling season. I am glad to hear you enjoy the videos! I hope you have a great paddling season this year. Thank you for watching and commenting. All the best. Cheers

@@ItsGoodintheWoods Just in case you were thinking lows lake this year it is closed till late fall 2023 as they are doing work on lower dam. Spring is close!! www.dec.ny.gov/lands/75295.html

My man! Thanks dude! An amazing area for sure !

Hahahahaha! Yes sir! That is how it's done !! LOL You should get up there , It's an incredible place to spend some time

I think the cold may have threw them off a bit. But they were still out and about. On 2 different occasions was woke from my sleep due to a mouse running across my head. That was the worst of it though.No gear was harmed in the making of this video! We had a very good time on this adventure. What dreams are made of! And the food!!!! As always, thank you! -Justin

@@ItsGoodintheWoods 😅🤣

I have heard of it, but have yet to get there. Is there a lot of good camping options? I wouldn't mind picking your brain for some details.

Lots. 40 designated sites I believe. All primitive. All by boat. And a hidden little gem of a town called Beaver River that’s only accessible by boat or rail. It’s nuts. My friends and I love Stillwater. One of our favorite places on earth. We’re doing Lila in 2024 and I hope to do Lows in 2025. I’d be happy to share all the info I can. Been there 5 times I believe.

This was one incredible trip bud! I love that tarp man! I have had it for 3 years now and it has been nothing but awesome! I like to eat well my friend! Cheers Jeremy.

This was a fun one!

Thank you for watching and commenting

It's a small world. I remember talking to you two for quite a while. The mice are relentless out there. We were battling them the whole week. Thankfully no gear was ruined. I know for sure that I will be going back to that lake system! It's an incredible area. Perhaps our paths will cross again someday.....The season is right around the corner!

@@ItsGoodintheWoods we'd love to run into you guys again! You have some great material and I have subscribed. Hopefully I can spend more time to my channel this year. Maybe those Bald Eagles will eat a lot of mice this year and prosper!

This was a fun time

Thank you for checking out the channel! I am glad to hear you like it so far.

Lol ......I did bring the stove! I just never used it. Hahahaha

Awesome!!!! Enjoy your trip! It is so nice out there

Thank you .Good fun

Dirty Jersey.....🤣

Good morning Pete. This was one incredible trip. We had a blast out there. I put a lot of work into this one. Thank you for the great comment. I am thrilled you enjoyed the video.

I just about died when I saw those cookies!!!!

Thank you! This was a really fun trip! I'm glad you enjoyed the video

This was so much fun! I am glad you liked the video. Thanks for letting me know man.

The oswegatchie is on my list as well! When I am on trips that do not involve major portages, I pack heavy. To keep my food cold, I pack my cooler with 64 fluid oz juice bottles filled with ice. I usually have 5 or 6 of the bottles. This solves my refrigeration issues. And, as the ice melts, I drink the ice cold water! All week long I get to drink cold water. It's very nice and worth the weight to me when weight doesn't matter. On more ambitious trips, I do a lot of dehydrated foods. I have a few of my favorite recipe videos on the channel if you are interested. Spaghetti, taco mix, sloppy joe mix, fruits,,,,, and more to come. For washing greasy pots and pans, boiling water. Thats all i use. Dump out the grease. Put the pan upside down over coals or fire for a few minutes. Then put water in the pan. heat up the water, dump it out and repeat a few times. sometimes I will use a handful of some sand as well. And sometimes I will bring a bit of soap if weight isn't an issue. Early spring and late fall are the best times to get out there! For sure. This past October my buddy Craig and I did the Debsconeag loop in Maine. That was a real fun trip. Portages and much lighter pack loads. You and your husband may find that video of interest. It was an amazing trip. I would be happy to send you the link if you would like. Thank you for the awesome comment. I hope you two have some fun adventures coming up!

Thank you! This was fun

I must respectfully disagree. The paddle does not transform the canoe. It does however , make the canoe a much more efficient vessel. I'm not an elitist, If I'm in a canoe, I'm canoeing. And this was one hell of a canoe trip. Everything about it was awesome! What a time!

I agree with Justin, I enjoy paddling with my nice single blade beaver tail paddle on occasion, in fact I carry it on trips as my back up paddle. Its a canoe and its canoeing. And with the right canoe , makes a lot of sense to use a double blade. You can cover a lot more water with a double blade and a “ canoe” designed for big water and still carry all the gear for an adventure. I respect the old concept of a canoe isn’t a canoe if your not using a single blade paddle. But common sense goes a long way my friend. Cheers

Good stuff! A very exciting trip! Thank you

We had a real good time! Good fun Thank you Eric

Thank you for the input. I am guilty of multiple videos of a trip......I like this format much better . It keeps the flow going. I am thrilled you enjoyed this video! Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate that. -Justin

This was such a fun trip! in 11 days I am heading out for another big canoe trip in Northern Maine ! Super excited!!!!

It's a good one. Tell me about this river trip you speak of.......

Ill send you an email regarding the Oswegatchie River

Pretty cool to see someone was out there with me on the 7th when that crazy weather rolled through! It didn't hail on the Oswegatchie, just intense wind!

Imagine that!!! That would have been cool! Next time......

We had some crazy weather that week! It was awesome!

We sure did man!! What a hoot! We did encounter some rough water, and the worst of it I never filmed.....I regret that. That is about all I regret though. Oh you know I like to eat good food! And drink good beer! I don't care how much it weighs!!!! This was a great trip brother! Thank you man. I'll be over your way shortly, looking forward to seeing your recent trip

Yes you do!!! These trips are so much fun! Just like a Joe video!! Minus a couple million views! Lol! That is quite the compliment Tom. Thank you sir!

Thank you very much. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

This is a really nice lake. We had a real good time out there. I don't mind giving the information on established sites and trails. That's part of the reason behind the videos, to share information. But I do tend to keep bushwhack and stealth camping info lean. lol

Where is this reservoir you speak of? Thank you for letting me know you liked the video! I appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed it. This was an awesome trip, a fantastic time! Thanks for stopping by Steven. -Justin

Nice! What a beautiful lake. I think 20-25 were about the only sites we didn't check out. I did see some people on 25 I believe, up the bank in some hardwoods. It looked like a very nice site. The campsites on that lake are off the hook!

@@ItsGoodintheWoods we lucked out getting #20...the whole lake was packed and someone pulled off the site on our way in. One of my best trips for sure.

@@adirondaddict8480 You lucked out for sure. There were a few people out there , but we basically had the lake to ourselves....until the last 2 days. That last weekend the crowds were flooding in. The popularity of the lake is really catching on I hear. All the locals we talked to said it was the busiest year they could ever recall. I can see why. It is an incredible place to be

Such a good book! I have read it many times. It never gets old! Very fitting given the conditions!!! Did you see the size of that fish!!! Bahahahahahaha

Good morning! Now that this trip is over, I am already thinking about another big one......Now I need a double digit day count....at least 10 days. Never done that before......I think I have just the trip in mind........ Being away from my family is always the toughest part. Through that struggle I find strength and appreciation, and my love grows. I know it is different for everyone, but when I am in a situation that makes me miss something, someone, I appreciate them more. It makes me realize how incredibly fortunate I am. And I do that a lot lol . Have a great day man

@@ItsGoodintheWoods Well said brother. Now what is this trip your talking about? LOL 😂 Cheers !

Did you see the size of that thing!!! bahahahahahahaha This was such a great trip. So much fun.Thank you !

This trip was amazing man! Maybe I will see you out there next year.........what an incredible area!

Right on ! Let’s meet and enjoy together ! Cheers

I like one liners LOL ! I saw the Presidents live about 15 years ago! They killed it!

Trips like this are so much fun! The fishing was great man! Did you see the size of that fish!!!!! I do hope you get the opportunity to do that long camp out on Klamath. Don't let that slip away brother. I enjoy the iffy weather. Adds to the adventure and fun. I don't even feel right about using the word fire in conversation with you. I feel for you man.

@@ItsGoodintheWoods had a small panic yesterday helicopters were going over with buckets. And it got all Smokey for a while. don't know where it was but it must have been close and they must have got it out quick. I don't know if it's ever going to rain again.

That Placid boat works is amazing! My Wenonah is a solo canoe. It's a 13' Fusion. A pretty awesome little canoe. I enjoy it. I'll take our temps over yours! lol Thanks for watching. Cheers

What an amazing place! Just incredible! I'm a pack mule lol. I pretty much bring whatever I want. I tried to do a gear video and got completely overwhelmed by it. I will keep working at it, eventually it will make sense to me , I think. Thank you for the great comment Joel. I appreciate that. Cheers -Justin

The mice on this trip were relentless. Damn rodents

Thank you. This was a fantastic trip. Tons of fun. I can't remember off the top of my head what spots we used. We went to a different site almost everyday. We only used one site for 2 days, that was site 32. All the information on the sites we used is in the video. It is so nice out there

That is a beautiful lake! Do you live in NH ? That rough water is a ton of fun! Until it's not LOL

@@ItsGoodintheWoods I wish I did. I'm in the dreaded Island of Rhodes lol. RI

@@projectknifehand Sorry man lol

@@ItsGoodintheWoods oh yeah its terrible lol. Some day I will get out. I'm up there every other week now at this point though.

@@projectknifehand perhaps our paths will cross someday

Fall is the best time for canoe camping! I have never been to the lakes in Ontario. I'd like to someday. You should check out Lows lake sometime, It's a nice one. I bet you would like it out there.

@@ItsGoodintheWoods Been looking at the map. Lows is definitely in our sites.

@@gregschuler1596 You are gonna love it !

The temps made it easy. I freeze water in 2 quart juice bottles and keep those in a cooler. The Steaks were pre frozen as well. I had ice cold fresh water for 5 days. The milk is powdered. I don't mind powdered milk, and I bring it on almost all my trips.

It's Good in the Woods Cooler, gotcha. Once again, looked like a nice time. Thanks for sharing.

LOL

Those Old Town Pack boats are awesome! I bet that is a fun canoe to adventure with. Are you doing any good trips this fall? Thank you for checking out and supporting the channel. Much appreciated!

Here is a link to his channelru-vid.com

Honestly, i have no experience with them so I can not say either way. How are you liking the poles you won?

@@ItsGoodintheWoods they are holding up great, I am taking them to lake tahoe next month!

@@jacobpoucher Excellent! That sounds like it will be fun! Enjoy

That is a good question LOL .....Right place right time....

Hahahahahaha yep. Crazy rodents

Hey Justin & Justin, couldn’t resist the urge to make a trio of Justins. All the best from England lads, Justin 👍

I'm thinking sling shot with clay balls

@@ItsGoodintheWoods yes. That’s perfect. Good thinking.

That is no kayak my friend!! It's one of the nicest canoes I have ever laid eyes on! That canoe weighs 22lbs!!!! Amazing. This was an amazing trip! We had so much fun! Thanks for tuning in man! I'll be talking to ya! - Justin

Oops, forgive my mistake. Canoe. It was the ‘Oooohhhh’ that made me chuckle. 😃 Great adventure chap. 👍

@@JustinWhiting9 Bahahahahaha! You are forgiven! Lol Thanks man!

I'm glad you liked it! Thank you
