A recent canoe camping trip to Cranberry lake in the Adirondacks with my buddy JP. She's a busy lake, but well worth the visit. Also my first trip in my restored 1991 Old Town Pathfinder canoe. I like it!

Great video. This trip is on my list I just worry about wind and boat traffic. Thanks for sharing.

@ItsGoodintheWoods Год назад

Boat traffic is nuts. Wind is always a concern anywhere. This is a lake worthy of seeing. You should do it. As big a lake as it is, even if the weather is nasty, the way the lake is orientated you never have to put yourself in big water if you don't want to. That is nice.

Love your life Justin what a nice situation at Black Duck Cove with some Adirondack and Lady Slipper all so interesting to an Australian. Don't mind a great shower storm if you can keep dry. 2.30 a.m. a bird? Your homestead must be plentiful around now. Nifty rod holder and love your craft. Love the powdered milk too.

@ItsGoodintheWoods Год назад

I love adverse conditions! Especially under a tarp! It is quite the experience, especially when it goes well. Lol. The rain let off for just a bit overnight and there was an owl that seemed to be directly over head! He was very close to me. He was chatting to his owl buddy across the lake! The conversation went on for approximately 5 minutes. I just sat there in my hammock listening. I didn't want to disrupt at all. Just listen. It was magical. then the rain picked back up.. The homestead is cranking! Produce is going nuts! We put 17 meat chickens in the freezer about a month ago. We have 2 turkeys, 15 egg laying chickens, 3 pigs and 2 lambs this year. Shaping up to be a real good year. Good thing I figured out the rod holder on the last dat of the trip🤣 Oh well, it will come in handy on the next one. The canoe is awesome! I love it. Thank you. And powdered milk is amazing!!! Good to hear from you MaryElizabeth from Australia! I hope you are doing well

Alc-a-chiino - nice morning coffee ;-) It's after 5pm somewhere. I'll have to give them a try. JP brings the fancy cocktail again. Definitely someone to share a trip with. I love those UCO candles that you or JP have. Man do you eat well on your trips. Yes, it was a monster fish that took your full rig. It's better to believe that. Major a-hole for destroying a fire pit at a legal site. P.S. I hope you're getting a commision from Nemo's 2024 moonlite elite chair that uses it's groundcloth as a case.

@ItsGoodintheWoods Год назад

Always 5 somewhere. That is JP's candle, and he does make some good drinks. That comes in handy🤣 That fish.......I saw the pole fold over violently and then the boing boing boing of the pole.....The tug was much to violently to be a snag at the speed I was traveling. It was a big fish. Major a hole That shit pisses me off......and first I have heard about the chair. No commission. I knew it was just a matter of time when I made that video. I knew it. But I am a bit surprised that Helinox wasn't the company to do it. lol

@alanbierhoff6831 Год назад

Nice! I haven’t been to Cranberry in 40(?) years. Looks way different now. I’m actually surprised that you had such great luck with campsites on a heavily populated lake. In my experience, the ‘Trout Troopers’ in NY are pretty decent folks. As long as you have your license and aren’t a jerk, you should expect a pleasant experience like you had with that Ranger. Thanks for edumacating me on all sorts of wonderful consumables this video I subscribed, with the 🔔, to JP’s channel but he hasn’t posted this trip yet 🙄😆

I was always skeptical of camping in the rain and wondered if i went overboard buying the Superfly tarp. After five trips staying dry with severe storms and downpours I'm confident it was a great purchase. Also splurged for the center pole and it's a mansion underneath!

@ItsGoodintheWoods 11 месяцев назад

The superfly is awesome! A fantastic tarp. Like you, this tarp and I have seen some weather. Never let me down. There is something magical about enduring a good rain storm under a tarp.

Any time out is almost always a fun time out, even a non wilderness experience. Bummer it was cut short. The CL50 around the lake is definitely a wilderness experience! I hiked it last year and loved the remote areas around ponds and just a loon for some noise.

@ItsGoodintheWoods 11 месяцев назад

The CL50 is now on my list of things to do. I am sure it has to be a bit more remote feeling than the lake does. But it was still a fun time on the water. How many people would you say you crossed paths with on the 50?

@bucky716 11 месяцев назад

@@ItsGoodintheWoods I hiked it the last weekend of August and saw one or two people a day in my 3 days on trail. The most was like 7 people in one day who were just day hiking near Cat Mountain. So, like no one and that was a weekend! I went counter clockwise from Wanakena and everyone was going clockwise so it was just in passing. I hustled finishing it on the 4th morning because storms were on the way. Mileage per day was 16/16/20/3. Would love to go back again and slow down a bit but hey, I crushed it.

@Snitchols 11 месяцев назад

Cranberry Lake is an absolute gem in the Adirondacks. Plenty of campsites that are well taken care of, great fishing, of course just great scenery all around. Campsite 41 near the Ranger School is a great site as well but more than likely you won't be by yourself there. It has a great lean-to, fire pit, dock and an outhouse. It sits high so standing water is minimal during the pouring rain. There are huge Northern Pike in Cranberry, also for smallies, in-line spinners has always worked for me up there.

@ItsGoodintheWoods 11 месяцев назад

We took a look at 41 on our way in. Being there is a lean to there and a trail that leads to it, and a dock, we figured we should just keep paddling. I have heard multiple people say there are huge pike in there. I'm almost positive one latched on to my lure on the last day. I saw my pole bend over then snap right back. Just like that my rig was gone. A very quick clean break. Lure, swivel, all of it, gone. I wish I had been using a steel leader.

Hey Justin! Great video - Looks like you didn't let the little boat traffic interfere with the trip. I actually like sitting and having a cocktail with a thunderstorm - I love bad weather. Your meals were outstanding as usual. I assume that was an aluminium pan? Looked like it did too good a job to be titanium. Tell your daughter she did an awesome job with those cookies! You'll have to quiet down your friend next time, he talks too much. Maybe you can post his recipe for the berry drink? Thanks and God bless you and the family. Best, Joe

@ItsGoodintheWoods Год назад

Gotta make the best of it. I managed to completely rewire my thought process on power boats....not going to let them bother me anymore. Adverse conditions are great! I have always been a fan. It was a lot of fun sitting under that tarp through that storm. Wild stuff. The video doesn't do it any justice. The pan is a GSI pinnacle pan. It is aluminum. Awesome pans. Awesome cookies! Awesome time!

@mikeoutside315 Год назад

Looks great! I always wanted to do cranberry lake, but I’ve been a little trepidatious about the boating situation and the size of it!

@ItsGoodintheWoods 11 месяцев назад

Both are legitimate concerns. Boat traffic is heavy. You can always stick close to shore. You don't have to put yourself in big water if you don't want to.

Cranberry lake looks beautiful , is that where the Oswegatchie river starts/source??

@ItsGoodintheWoods 11 месяцев назад

This was my first time using this canoe on a trip. My first royalex bomber! A 1991 Old Town Pathfinder. A fun canoe. Quite a bit different than what I am used to though. No wannigan, just a big cooler lol. The Oswegatchie runs through Cranberry lake. I believe the river starts at Partlow lake.

That whiskey looks like it is pretty good. I don't know why someone would dismantle a legal firepit and throw the stuff in the water. It has happened to me at one of my usual campsites. It seems like a fun lake though.

@ItsGoodintheWoods 11 месяцев назад

I still have her. I will only be using her on selective trips. At 21lbs she is a delicate one. I am sure it can handle a fair amount of abuse, but given the cost of it, I am not really willing at this point to abuse her. I could have used it on this trip, but I wanted to get a feel for this one on good open water. And being there isn't any portaging involved on this trip, I was loaded up pretty good. I wouldn't have had the space in the trillium. Fear not, she will be making regular appearances on the channel! That is one fun canoe! Thank you for watching!

Thanks and keep putting out the great content

@ItsGoodintheWoods 11 месяцев назад

PSP is a nice spot. Unfortunately, to see nothing but nature requires a lot of work, in the form of getting to it. I would suggest Aziscohos lake in Maine. Big enough to spend quite a bit of time on. Lots of undeveloped shore line and a lot of campsites to choose from. It is a really nice lake. If you are a bit intimidated by Aziscohos, perhaps look into Branch Pond in VT. A smaller body of water, but nice campsites to choose from in a wonderful setting. A completely undeveloped shore line. It is well worth the visit.
