I listen to distant trills in the night, I believe I had identified the species. A least concern but still elusive species. However, none have recorded the calls from a distance. The calls, they soften.

Did Kevin just say he’s double bladded before??😮

So good Kevin... I have been thinking of buying my own canoe for sometime now but haven't yet pulled the trigger... This information really helps me a lot. Once I have done few solo trips this year, I guess I will get a solo canoe next year. My wife is always scared of letting me go alone on trips :) LOL

I noticed the crow caw as the eagle went over.

I find myself keeping the paddle in the water more and more, old age and lazy I suppose but its is a fantastic stroke to move a canoe. not lifting the paddle but just slicing in back in the water, working on my left side too.

So can Angel join you in the smaller boats or only in the 16ft?

Thank you great Info...I have a Bob's Special 15 Nova Craft that I love for solo non white water..its perfect for me and what i do solo....but I don't like it at all for tandem unless both people are kneeling...actually looking for a new tandem ...how would it compare solo to the others u mention here...for me it's been great

Kevin's a good man

Thank you for such an informative video! Is there any chance you'll ever review and check out boats from the other top canoe makers such as Swift and H20? Or is this one of those exclusive sponsorship deals where you aren't allowed to?

Bullshat. If they would only follow suit of another company and have the seat on the floor, foot rest,back rest use a Kayak paddle and weight nothing.

Thanks Kevin. Good stuff.

I use both a traditional paddle and a double blade. I painted the double blade with “never Wet” a Rustoleum product that prevents water from sticking to the blade and I get NO drips in the boat. I paddle a Winona 14.5 Vagabond. I don’t do trips, but love to bird watch from the boat and explore backwaters.

Fun and informative. Thanks Kevin. I have a question about paddling the 16 FT. Solo. Why do you paddle from the bow instead of just using the stern? On my canoe there's a thwart right behind the seat so I couldn't do this anyway. Maybe I missheard ? Thanks! 😊

I have a Old Town Penobscot I bought in 2001 for $700.00 I do like it but at 57 years old its getting to heavy. Great video. Thanks.

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin. You need to treat those wooden gunwales on your Fox with some TLC! It ill love you for it.

Get well soon Angel !

awesome. i was just looking at this exact conundrum! thanks Kevin

Hey Kevin... 'Wendy Outdoors' mentioned your cook book on her latest video. And your vast knowledge of canoeing. Nice to see.

What length double have you tried? I like my 180cm in my 15 1/2 foot prospector

Solo trip spooks don't happen with me, I am so tired from doing it all myself I crash. My best sleeps are alone in my tent. 😁

I've been wanting to get back into tripping after about 25 years away from it. All my backpacking and bikepacking are solo...I appreciate the insight. Thanks for sharing your Dash!!! - Davey.

Some nice boats there for sure . I just mentioned to a friend in his 50ès he ought start solo tripping . He said too boring . I said exactly. Will build character . Too much of a yuppie ( and chicken sh*t too )

Nice Video Kevin! I usually prefer to paddle my own boat too, lol. The number of cool feathered friends this time was amazing.

Thanks for the video, Kevin. One thing I heard in this and maybe one of your others is that you refer to "aramid" as a different brand name. I believe "aramid" is the generic term (aromatic polyamide, per Wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramid), and Kevlar is the DuPont version. Looks like Novacraft is currently using Twaron branded aramid from the Teijin Aramid company of the Netherlands. The Novacraft P16 in fiberglass with a foam core was my first "proper" canoe (30+ canoes ago). Not my personal favourite, but I enjoyed many years in that boat.

You could also slip that pin on a belt loop. I picked up a Swift Raven solo for short $$ and bought a Trillium this spring . Loving both ☮️

Nice! 🖐😎👍🛶

Awesome. How do you think that pack would serve for both winter camping on foot also. I wouldn’t mind having a canoe pack that would do both. We’re talking 10 miles or less. Nothing crazy. Since it has support that a canoe pack historically wouldn’t have had, im thinking I could get away with it.

that chainsawin was awesome

Sorry for watching this, Most of this video is chain saw. What were you thinking?

Great review. Even better, you two are a hoot together. Puts a smile on my face every time a see a video with you two together. Hope we cross paths in the back country sometime....I will even provide the whiskey. Take care.

If the band gets back together you better switch back to the foot pump or they'll be looking for a new drummer.

Will a 120v lasko shop fan work? Haha

Watching a video with you and Kristine is like taking a road trip with friends!

I hated going there when I was a kid for field trips but now I would love to hang out in an old saw mill

You guys are so funny! Love your banter, adventures, the pups....we really enjoy your videos! Cheers from Centre Hastings, Ontario🏕️🫶

A perfect video to watch after a tough buggy trip in the bush! I made it back to Red Lake and left on a trip the day I got back. It was a transportation nightmare. You two are awesome to watch and put on smile on my face. Thanks again for the well wishes in getting back up to bug central...... Blackfly girl

Your visit to an unfamiliar location that I am very familiar with brought me a lot of joy. From driving the long Sault parkway to watching a ship at the Iroquois locks. Lots of hometown pride from this happy camper fan!

You two are hilarious,,thank you for the lovely video

This is my neck of the woods. You drove past my seasonal site at McLarens. I'm across from the small waterfront sites near the dock on a very large lot. It's unserviced so we use solar.

Always fun to watch you two and the dogs on adventures ❤

such a great lake and area the parklands is 45 minutes from my house and i enjoy lots of time there!!

like to stick to back country camping .only my fishing buddy sawing logs during the night

We have Bluetti batteries as well and use them for car camping. we think they are great products, great to see your thoughts, Kevin.

Some assistance with units and pronunciation. Power is measured in watts, W. It indicates the rate at which energy is delivered. 'Power x time' indicates the amount of energy the device can store. So the energy stored in the device is measured in watt hours not "watts per hour" as Kevin kept stating. The rate at which the power bank or a battery could be charged might be measured in watts per hour but this measurement is usually simply indicated by stating the amount of time required to reach some percentage of the total charge (energy) a device can store. The energy we pay for on our electricity bills is billed and measured in kilowatthours, kWh. Photovoltaic, pronounced 'photovoltayic' means simply using light to generate potential difference in energy or 'voltage'. Probably nobody wanted any high school physics commentary on SI units..... but doing your homework makes for a clearer presentation.

I might get one of these. Thanks for the review. Sorry about the chainsaw noise and the Busch beer. lol :)

Glad you found the DC output! No point is converting from DC to AC to DC using your old 10W wall charger when you’ve got that beast.

Good show, quite enjoyable 👍✌

Just curious, what dining shelter is that?

You 2 are champs.i couldn't have had a restful day listening to that. Now I could have watched them all day but camping? I prefer quiet and nature. Think you need another campsite to rest and relax from this one

🖐😎👍
