Labyrinth Canyon; American West Volume 3 

Greetings Lee, Glad your liking the films. We probably won't be back in Australia for a while long enough to do any major trips as we can't bring the little dog over. What type of vehicle do you have for expeditions? I can't make it out on your little channel thumbnail.

@@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures wow, I feel special guys, getting a response? Woohoo me 😀👍 yes, I have a gu patrol with more gear than I proberbly need lol I’m not like the saying, all the gear, and no idea lol if you ever get back this way.? I got some sneaky places to see, 🤙👍 got some undisclosed places I’ve found with rather unusual artworks, very remote, not to sure if this place is on the maps, as it seem when ever I go there, it’s over grown, by spinafex, any way love ya work and follow you guys all the time ,well done 👍 big pats for Cricket ! 👍😂🤙

I blew a little snot out of my nose laughing at your political incorrectness. I can't yet give away the mysteries of Sego, Krikkit says it's a secret to be revealed later.

@@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures Apologies to Krikkit for the miss spollenge of his nom de plumb. Glad to help clear your nose :)

From what I here Scotland has some good wilds to get into. Haven't been there yet but it is on the hit list. Summers Uncle Paul from the fishing videos has been there and brings back glowing reports and says the whiskeys good.

Foreman and Wilms Adventures the whiskey is very good!

Oh good, I got the spelling correct on whiskey. Can be a treacherous mistake.

Foreman and Wilms Adventures believe it or not we both got it wrong, it’s “whisky” I’m English that’s my excuse!

We did hope to go the professional route early in our hobbyist career but I reckon I've got too old and ugly now and we're both a little gun-shy of too much public exposure so it's now unlikely to happen. It's oddly quite pleasant to be a small and hard to find channel. Glad you like the films, we're working on the next. Cheers.

LOL I love your dry humor . I hear you it's a tough road to go down like cricket with a bone I am going to hang on to my dream of making my Doco on the Agile Antechinus no matter what's thrown at me. Thanks for your reply to my question and i will be watching out for you next adventure I Hope you and your family are doing well. Cheers Derek

Greetings Deon. We lived in Africa for 6 years so we got familiar with the real thing. South Africa and Namibia know their meats.

Greetings there Ian. Wilms may have to add to this response, she bought a thing called a food dehydrator, a roundish little machine with a fan in it. So you lay out the stuff and let it do it's work. She then vacuum seals the results into bags. Loading the canoe is experimental, even with experience. A solo canoeist will want weight up front to keep the nose down, where we need it in the middle. Loose food and water bags are shifted about to balance out the side listing which constantly changes as supplies are depleted, for example if you have two 20L water containers side by side and don't use them both alternatively, there will be a significant weight imbalance as one is still full whilst the other is not. Wilms uses a seat that straps to the existing bench but I just use what's there finding that the seat back gets in my way being the rudder man. Wilms has been threatening to do a video on the food stuff so this might be a good incentive to get it happening.

Foreman and Wilms Adventures. Good evening Foreman, and thank you so much for the prompt and insightful reply. I’d not heard of a food dehydrator before and can see how this would be a useful pre-trip kitchen tool, to help get organized, and make sure camp suppers are tops. The advice about loading and balance of the boat is much appreciated too. I’d bought a prospector type of Canadian canoe with the hopes of paddling rivers like the Churchill, and would imagine this is something I’d do with another paddler. Trial and error will have us organized for sure 😂. Well, I look forward to more of your edited highlights and adventures, and any on food stuff from Wilms and Krikkit (as well as your Land Rover) will also be fun for sure. Thank you again and all the very best to you. Ian

Greetings Baroose. Glad you liked the film, If I recall correctly the boat is a tripper, 17.4 footer. Tough as nails, we did a river trip up in Maine called the Allagash and most of the time was spent smashing into rocks. The thing still floats! Amazing.

@@ForemanAndWilmsAdventures Hello and thanks for your reply. I thought it looked like a Tripper 174. Best canoe ever built, unless you like the bigger Tripper XL which is almost 21 feet. They are fairly indestructible and you can fix them for really cheap really easy if you damage them really bad. The Allagash is a great trip. I worked on the St. Croic River, just a little ways away from the Allagash looking after it for a couple of decades. We used the Trippers and had a Tripper XL as well. We often needed the bigger boat for all the gear we needed for some of our projects. If you liked the Allagash you would definitely love the St. Croix. They don't make the Trippers anymore, which is a sad thing. I love them. I have a Discovery 169. 5 inches shorter and a wee bit narrower. Goes quick but you can't pack as much in it. Hopefully you get to do the St. Croix sometime. You can get waterproof maps from www.stcroix.org made specifically for paddling. Around $10 I think. I retired from there last year. Do you have video of your trip on the Allagash? And how many Moose and Loons did you see? Great to hear from you. I hope we can keep in touch.

Wilms makes her own biltong, mixes up her secret concoction of spices and she bought a little kit that dries the stuff. She does a good job that even a South African would applaud her.

Greetings Glenn, we have a thing called a 'Goal Zero Yeti 400', It's about as heavy as a car battery and if one is especially conservative with the drone it has kept everything charged for 13 days in the past. It makes good ballast in the canoe but can be quite a problem with portages. It also serves as our second battery in the car for keeping things running and can be charged with AC ,DC and solar.

Yeah...🤔 maybe we should have explained that. Biltong is a South African style of cured, dried meat. It’s often spiced with coriander and pepper or peri-peri. It’s not as dry as jerky. Mr. Foreman and I became familiar with it during our African years. It became such a staple in our diet that when we left the continent I had no choice but to learn how to make it myself. If you’re an enthusiastic carnivore, it is definitely worth seeking some out for a taste.
