I've recently purchased this Esquif Prospecteur 15. I haven't taken it out on a trip yet, but these are my first impressions paddling it on a small pond. I think I am going to love this canoe!

Just took delivery in the UK for the same canoe after 4 months of waiting. Yep, it was worth it. I shall be following your adventures and that of your canoe. Good Luck with whatever you do. Happy Travels.

Thank you!

I think this is the perfect canoe for solo wilderness trips / expeditions. I’m eagerly awaiting the delivery of mine (placed an order a few months ago). Hope to see a further review video from you. Cheers

From the research I've done, it certainly seems that way! I'm super stoked to test it out!

Fun Fact: Those guys in the link are Northern Scavenger. A popular wilderness channel featuring Canadian canoeing/fishing/bushcraft. That particular Esquif (wrapped around the rock) is still in their arsenal. It's been a few years. Still fully functional although it could use a coat of paint. These things are tanks.

That's crazy! Good to know! I absolutely love mine!

2 thumbs up. Still searching for the right canoe by Esquif.

@REXpeditions Месяц назад

It was such a hard decision. I think I made the right one for my needs.

Watching your solo trip as we speak I’m a sole paddler but would still be kool to take someone along. I have been so close to dropping 3 or 4 grand on a canoe. And I can’t do it. I like the echo Huron and the Prospecteur 15’

@butcherknife59knife46 I strongly consider Northstar in IXP but I couldn't get my self to spend that much. Thankfully, I ran across Esquif.

Thanks for the info! I saw the video of the guys wrapping it around a rock, and how it ended up. Pretty impressive!

It was wild! I've been very happy with the canoe so far!

Just got mine..outfitted it with NSR float bags and I'm now just waiting for a little nicer weather for some awesome camping adventures .. got a creek day trip planned in a couple weeks though..can't wait!!

@REXpeditions 2 месяца назад

That's awesome! How did you lace your canoe? Did you drill the hull?

@j.t.c.9157 2 месяца назад

Yes I drilled the hull..as you probably know the other option is pop rivits..I chose the much more fail-safe drilling method..aluminum pop rivets in plastic can pull out. Just my opinion.

@REXpeditions 2 месяца назад

@@j.t.c.9157 awesome. I used rivets with webbing on mine. I couldn't get the courage to drill mine as I've never done it. It does seem drilling is the better option. I guess time will tell if I made a mistake.

@j.t.c.9157 2 месяца назад

I honestly don't think you made a mistake..the force it would take to pull a pop rivet out would have to be incredible.. I just chose to drill
