Things I like about her videos: 1. no music. 2. pure and genuine 3. no fast video transitions and effects. 4. no influencer vibes. 5 just pure vlogging and documenting.
When I am kayaking, I will add low volume music in quiet spots, when there are rapids, I will put some rapid music in with the water sounds, but anytime there is talking or nature sounds, I fade out the music. I don't have a strong feeling about music, pro or con.
I hope you enjoy this peaceful camp as much as I did. Debating on getting a drone so I can share just how beautiful this vast land is. If this video gets 3000 likes I’ll convince myself to get one!! 😆
A picturesque presentation. I strongly recommend that you get a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB), and carry it on your person 24 hours a day. If your pump up paddle board fails you, injury, prowlers (2 or 4 legged), whatever occurs, you can summon rescue assistance. It has to save you only once to pay for itself. Better yet, you will never need it, and the cost was wasted money. Get it, and be prepared. Courtesy of Half Vast
Awesome to see! I just turned 32 and I fell back in love with the outdoors a few years ago after growing up camping. Nothing beats camping with your dog(s). Love your content 🤙🏼
this is just too wholesome, my wholesome-etron meter is going ballistic. I live in the big city with my dog right now but we're moving out in the woods soon to experience stuff like this! god bless from Sweden
I'm turning 27 next month as well, and hopefully I can start to explore outdoors and nature next year when my job settles down and finances in check. Yea fishing is hard. When I started, i wished someone else taught me instead of looking like an idiot and catching nothing lol. But thank God figured everything out. Here are just some quick pointers for you: At 9:04, what your holding is called Berkeley Power worm. They are mostly used for large mouth and small mouth bass. The way you rig these curly tail worm is by using a rig called "Texas Rig". You typically fish that rig really slowly and bounce along the bottom near a structure (rocks, piers, docks, sunken tree, and etc). Not in the wide middle of the water. At 9:13, the boppers are mostly used for smaller fish like sunfish, perch, and etc. It's mostly for fish that floats in the middle water column near the shore. You typically want to put on a live bait like Earthworms (which can be found by flipping over a rock). I hate using boppers because they're just not practical. At 9:39, what your holding is called Curly Tail grub. They are typically attached on to a small jig head and bounce on the bottom and slowly retrieve it to you. They're not meant to be putting on a bopper and just cast out and wait. I typically use them when I wade in a river or a small stream for trout or bass. At 10:03, the fishing jumping out the water could be bass chasing baitfish or carp doing a top water roll. To catch these active fish, I would use a crank bait, throw it out, then retrieve at a steady pace back to you. I would use a fan method of casting. At 10:08, what your holding is a spinner bait. The way you work them is literally just cast it out and retrieve it back to you at a steady consistent pace. They can be used to catch anything predatory. You won't catch anything if you let them sit out and do nothing. Hope my tips helps. I really wanna see you catch your first fish lol! You can watch some large channels for fishing tips like 1rod1reel, JonB, Realistic fishing, or ExtremePhillyFishing
I have a daughter of your age (well, 2 years older in fact) and absolutely love your passion and the way you spend your time. I used to hike and camp in my youth and pretty much until my 50ies and would absolutely be thrilled if my daughter would try this.....one another thing, I've been to Canada (and Scandinavia) and tasted the beauty of the majestic wilderness you have access to....live it girl, to its fullest 😃
Good stuff Madison. So majority of the tackle you got in that package is for bass fishing. The presentations used for trout are more finesse. Trout in most of these interior lakes primarily feed on aquatic inverebrates, so having a few flies which imitate these food items would be more effective. A spinning reel, as opposed to a spincasting reel like the one you were using, would also allow you to cast much further. But yeah, there's bit of a learning curve but over time you'll pick up what works or not, eventually catching becomes consistent. Good luck and happy to answer fishing questions if you have any. 🙂
Yes or the simple live worm on a bobble (rainbow trout, most trouts/ dont count steelhead but they are close) are super small) at close to correct depth. Spin casting reel if it tangles as a new comer your done for the trip.
Edit: oops, just saw another fishing video you posted. Looks like you got your lures figured out already! I’m no expert, but if you don’t want to mess with fly fishing or worms, I personally have a lot of success with kastmasters (these lures cast very far and are great for fishing on lakes and in water that’s at least a meter deep) or rooster tails (these little spinners are good in rivers and seem best when it’s still early spring and the fish are a little lethargic) when fishing for trout in the interior U.S. Both of those options are beginner-friendly and would work with the rod/reel you already own.
BC has some pretty strict fishing regulations, check the region guidelines before you start and make sure you have your license and required stamps. Depending on the season and body of water you can get into big trouble with the conservation officers if you get caught breaking the regs. For example only single barbless hooks are permitted in BC, but almost all new hooks will be barbed. You have to crimp the barb before you start fishing, it helps to clip some needle nose pliers to your fishing vest.
I hope you enjoyed 15 minutes in nature :). If you did, here's another island camping video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sKNcdt7kUyA.htmlsi=bzyFxnceGsuJDYxF

This video was a breath of fresh air! 🏕🌲 Your camping adventure, along with your loyal furry companion, is such an inspiration. I admire your courage to explore and camp in the wilderness solo. The beauty of nature and the serenity of the remote island are truly captivating. Keep sharing these amazing experiences! 🐾🌿🎣
Fishing is hard. I started fishing late in life too, just 5 years ago. After much experimentation, watching lots of videos like you and talking to local anglers, I've managed to learn a thing or two. Being an engineer, I science the hell out of fishing and increased my catch rate. Now with my own fishing channel, I know how to catch hatchery trout and catfish. I enjoyed your video. #anglerslifestyle
Thanks for sharing your adventure with the You -Tube audience. Your lake looks like an idyllic place to enjoy some down time. Kudos for the attention, affection and awareness that you show to your dog.; tis plain to see that you're a true animal lover .. Cheers.
Thank you for taking the time and investing the effort in documenting your outing, Madison. This lake looks like trout heaven! Just watching a video like this relaxes me and, until recently, I did a lot of fishing out of a kayak on similar water. For a beginner, any small shiny lure like a mepps spinner or tiny kastmaster would be ideal. And rather than cast, troll. Let out about 50' of line (you want the lure to be trailing beyond the disturbance of your wake). If you see fish feeding on the surface - usually in the evening or morning and often on overcast days - troll a little bit faster, which will bring the lure closer to the surface. Try different depths by varying your speed on the paddleboard. Trout eat both insects and small fish, so lots of options are available. My all-time favorite trolling lure for trout is a bright chrome mini-wobbler (I believe they are sometimes called snap-beans, because they are stubby like a bean). And trolling a caddis fly has been very productive on days when the water is like glass and surface feeding is apparent. Whatever lure you use, going tiny will increase your chances of catching trout. I'd wish you good luck, but luck has little to do with catching fish! P.S. Most importantly, when you do catch a trout, wet your hands before handling if you don't plan to eat it. Protective slime protects the fish by keeping pathogens at bay. Dry hands removes the slime and, more often than not, infection will inevitably kill the trout. In fact, if you have hemostats or needlenose pliers to remove the hook without touching the fish, all the better!
Took my kids to the BWCA in northern Minnesota back in around 2000, taught my Daughter how to fish, had her cast into a small bay and bam, a northern pike!!! We filled ourselves with fried fish that evening.😃
I also had to teach myself to fish as an adult and it can take a long time and sometimes it doesn't feel like you're making any progress but you'll get there if you keep at it! For a beginner it can make a huge difference using higher quality lures like mepps or rapalas. If you think they're small fish, real worms are the best bet.
I've been recommended your clips sporadically but this is the first full video I watched. And you are awesome!!! I've spent the past couple years getting familiar with Wisconsin and northern lakes, it's so awesome, as someone from the South I want to move up North so badly. I really love your simple and approachable ways of getting outdoors, makes me feel like I can paddle out to an island without having to spend a ton of money. Can't wait to watch more !
First time I have come across your videos. Absolutely beautiful, really well made. Really enjoyed the natural sounds & your commentary. Thank you so much.
Love the chill vibes of this. Very relaxing. Also, a tip for pans like that, boiling water, vinegar and baking soda. Taking the mechanical work out of cleaning pans like that is so satisfying.
Would love to see more fishing videos, perhaps trying bait fishing, it would be so cool to see you catch your first fish. This was a great little camping video, keep it up 👍 Cheers -Doc
On your fishing attempt. the "pre-rigged bait you used with the silver blades hanging on it is called a spinner bait. It is not meant for just throwing it out and letting it sit, you have to cast it out then reel it back in, the blades spin in the water as you reel it in, and it flashes to catch the fish's eye. If you're going to fish the way you were, then I recommend getting some bait, worms or minnows, and using a bobber or float until you learn some more.
I am a fisherman from North Carolina and I am here to tell you I believe it is a good idea you learning about the plants some can help with sickness but the wrong ones can kill you... Very cool video I appreciate you sharing it with us... Love your dog!!!!!!
Oh man, this is something I had thought about doing for years and years. Packing all that I need into my kayak and just going out to a small island on a local lake for the night and enjoying the solitude.
I do a bit of camping myself and what you do is really hard but you still make it look like so easy with your smile. I couldn't stop myself from subscribing your channel after this video. All the very best for all your adventures :) :)
if you don't feel like watching the whole thing. She gets terribly lost in the woods. After 7 days, she realizes she's not much of a survivalist and is going to starve out here. thank goodness she brought livestock with her. Right as she's grilling up her lifelong companion, she see a boat and they come to rescue her.
Good evening Madison & Kyro ! Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventure & Happy Belated Birthday ! That bag sounds like it’s a wonderful investment ! Kyro’s awesome & you’re very lovely young lady ! May the year be filled with many fun packed adventures, keep smiling !
First time seeing your channel,... you don't complain, you don't act entitled, you are wholesome and adventurous,. .... as an old guy, I predict your channel will be very popular with young men.... if it is not already..... the girlfriend everyone wish they had...
До хорошая штука . Хорошо когда он есть . Со временем ты всё равно к этому придёшь . Имеется в виду к покупке . Виды с дрона с высоты птичьего полета очень впечатляют . Снимать и видеть Красоту мест где ты бываешь на память даже просто для себя это здорово . А если ещё можно и поделится с друзьями или людьми этим впечатлением мне кажется это классно !
Nice video..I like how you keep everything simple it’s a lot more realistic because you didn’t add any extremely loud music in the background which washes out the whole reality and experience… Great work well done you’re a trooper ❤
Just came upon this video. It was cute, funny, down to earth, stupid, smart, prepared, unprepared, learning. It has a lot going on and if I had to put all those words and more into a phrase it would be (down to earth). I liked the content
I am sure other people have said this or you already know but live worms are very good at catching fish, especially when the lure / jig approach is not working as those require a lot of technique to move them through the water. I recommend a small ledger weight and a small hook with a live worm or something real.
!!First time fishing for trout!! Get a pack of #8 snelled hooks and comparable size swivels. Hang it about 2 feet below a bobber with a couple salmon eggs. The rubber worms you have are better for bass fishing.
Just found your channel, very cool. If I may... Live bait is the secret, yep, bait a hook w/a worm). 2 fishing poles, 1 for bobber & 1 for spinning. It doubles your chances, and remember, 2 is 1 and 1 is none (same for water and fire starters). Hang food higher suspended from cordage between two trees (bears can climb trees). Burn food and/or garbage, do not keep garbage in camp, and wash dishes in the water. Hope you fare well.
"It's times like these I'm glad there are no Alligators" yes! lol. Nice vid, nice doggy, nice host, lovely trip. And correct, Alligators suck on a paddle board. Always avoid large carnivorous reptiles if at all possible!!!
Im sure you've made adjustments by now, but definitely invest in a spinning reel. A flueger or an ugly stick. For lures in lakes like that, use a spoon or a rooster tail. for weights, just get some split shot. The paddle board is already a huge advantage so you'll catch something soon
Man, maybe I need to start doing this. I need to get away from it all for a while. I love being alone as well and always look for that peaceful silence.
I do a ton of backcountry in Alberta. love my camping and fishing! If your looking to expand your tackle and think trout is a good starting place for you. A very trustworthy lure I always catch multiple on when I go out is a mepps thunder bug! Swear by it. Other inline spin baits work great, or powerbait on a Texas rig are the two easiest ways to get ‘em without learning fly fishing. Really liked the video! Keep doing what you do and I think we all hope to see you do a catch and cook soon!
Keep on truckin' on, girl. Being self sufficient is the best thing you can do for yourself. It doesn't close others out, it keeps options available. 👍😉
Fishing reel tip hold line between thumb and for finger when reeling in a slack line. This will maintain a clean spool with no bunching or tangle. Casting will be amazing different
This girl is so courageous. I will be thinking millions of times before doing solo camping at night on an island. More scary thing was for me that grave even though she camped far from it 😵💫💀😬 .
For lake fishing try using a live worm and a bobber with a little split shot weight in between the worm and bobber with about 12-18 inches in between the worm and bobber. You will catch them all day. A diagram for this setup in words looks like this: bobber, six inches of line, split shot, 6inches of line, hook with live worm. If you want to eat the fish and don’t plan on putting it back have a rock on hand. Smack the fish head with the rock and knock it out then cut the gills. You don’t want blood to stay in the system makes it taste not as great. If you don’t want to keep the fish wet your hands before you touch the fish. Helps prevent taking off the slime coating that protects the fish from getting sick. If you forget don’t worry to much it will just become part of the life cycle and something will eat it if it passes on.
i turn 27 next year and you make me miss life living in the country. i used to damn near live out in the woods growing up, really hope i can get back out there more the next couple years. best of luck with all your yt videos.
I always use a size 8 hook and fly fish as well. The Powerbait that is a puddy works well. You can fish bottom with a slip sinker and regular sinker. The slip sinker let's the bait float up a few feet to get it off the bottom.
watching this, and seeing your ketchup and mustard mix, it reminded me of a time I went solo camping and used empty mio comtainers for my condiments, hard to use all the condiments but easier to get on my bread
