Mein Got, that canoe is in amazing shape for being painted that long ago. Fantastic work! Boundary Waters is a dream of mine. Stay well.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Cheers my friend. Appreciate it Mike

Great chat, I hope you take us along on your trip. Thanks for sharing.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

I sure will. Thanks my friend

[@Smartiebob317]

Looking forwards to seeing your canoe trip. Should be a blast. 💨💨

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Thanks Bob

[@mxcgmdviii3045]

Nice! My gpa also gave me his sportspal canoe. We spent a lot of time fishing during the summers on that canoe. Good times!

[@oldmanthingspipes]

That’s so neat! Yes I had more fun when my grandpa got the sail out and we went sailing on his.

[@kevingricius9083]

Nice looking canoe. I do love the Bushmills black bush as well. They used to make a Honey bush that I really enjoyed but haven’t been able to find it for years in NY. Just came in from smoking an Old Toby blend and having a glass of rum. Have a great trip!

[@oldmanthingspipes]

@@kevingricius9083 I’ve never heard of honey bush. I bet it was great. Cheers my friend Mike

[@ronaldpoppe3774]

Nice to see you Mike. You look very comfortable. I really like the way you painted your canoe 🛶. I have a number of Hudson Bay blankets. They are very warm and durable. I have made a few captes out of them in the past but ended up selling them. I am jealous of your trip to the Upper Peninsula. Stay safe and have fun my friend. Cheers Ron

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Hi Ron Thanks so much. Oh man I’m jealous. I’ve always wanted a Hudson Bay blanket. It’s been a long time since I e been to the UP. Hope all is well my friend Mike

[@ronaldpoppe3774]

@@oldmanthingspipes I bought these years ago. Can't afford them anymore.

[@spikeherbert391]

Let me get this straight: A Cheesehead in Green Bay is drinking Irish Whiskey and a Texas beer. A REAL Cheesehead in the old days would have a brandy and a Leinenkugel or Point beer. Great video, Chief. Thanks.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Haha. Have to change things up a bit here and there :o). Thanks so much for watching

I’ve had a kayak for years, but need a canoe for the family now. I like loading them up and going for camps down the rivers or lakes. Cheers!

[@oldmanthingspipes]

@@StamperTamper hi Scott. Thanks so much for watching. I hope you get a canoe. If you need help finding one let me know

[@oldandintheway1955]

Hiyas Mike mate, A very nice rendering of the Hudson Bay colors on the canoe. A nice change from the institutional, regulation green canoe. For some reason, hearing the name Hudson, makes me think of Holme's landlady Mrs. Hudson. I've thoroughly enjoyed my visits to the U.P., it's so incredibly beautiful there. Safe travels, great canoeing and serene smokes. Gary

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Hi Gary! I never thought of Mrs Hudson. Isn’t that funny. Yeah I thought I want to make the canoe my own. I bought the canoe with the money my dad left me when he died. So I wanted it special. Cheers my fun. We go on the 15th KPO Mike

[@oldandintheway1955]

Safe travels Mike, of course I'm jealous 😉, who wouldn't be, but I'm happy for you; it's an ideal adventure. KPO 🥃🥃

[@oldmanthingspipes]

@@oldandintheway1955 maybe one day you and I both could go on a canoe trip together Gary

[@oldandintheway1955]

Where there's a will, there's a way. 😉

Hello Mike. Nice work on your canoe. Enjoy the trip planning. I look forward to footage of you out in the wilderness. Be well old mate.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Cheers Pierre. Really appreciate it

[@BobbySixguns]

The canoe looks fantastic Mike. I was in the U.P. last week on a motorbike trip, the weather was fantastic. Hope y'all get the same great weather for your trip. Take care my friend.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Oh great. Hey Bob, how were the bugs

[@BobbySixguns]

@oldmanthingspipes they weren't to bad. We sat on the beach in the evenings to smoke our pipes with no issue. We did have a few run-ins with swarms of nats during the daytime. Better than Indiana for sure.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

@@BobbySixguns hey thanks for the info!! Really appreciate it

About 8 years ago the wife and I and another couple drove down and spent a month on South Padre Island. Took us 4 days driving both ways.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Hi Brian That’s so neat. I loved it down there. So neat. Hope you both are ok. Always in my thoughts and prayers my friend Mike

[@callum4863]

Thanks for the smoke together Mike, smoking a petersons with some more briar fox, love this stuff, got a 16oz bag on the way from the states but it usually takes about 3 weeks to get here, so sadly i'll run out long before. Hope the canoe trip goes well, it sounds like a fantastic trip to get out and relax and enjoy the water. Say hello to Ratty for me

[@oldmanthingspipes]

@@callum4863 haha. Messing about in boats. Around October I can send you some. Just remind me. Cheers mate

[@callum4863]

@@oldmanthingspipes Cheers Mike, see you on the next video

[@Nighttrainpiper]

I was smoking some Latakia-filled Nightwatch while watching this. Or it could have been an old tire. Hard to tell them apart, I love them both. Say hi to the yoopers for me, eh?

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Haha. I sure will. Thanks so much for watching Mike

[@michaelcase8574]

Right across the Columbia River from Portland Or. In Vsncouver WA. There is Fort Vsncouver. It is a reconstruction of the Hudson's Bay NW headquarters. Th HB Chief Factor John McGloughlin and the military garrison. It is a great place to visit . I paddled all around the NW in my 16ft Graumann aluminum canoe. People scoffed at it, but I would just paddle past them and leave them behind. Have a great trip!

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Haha. Thanks so much for telling me. My grandpas canoe I have is aluminum. There’s nothing wrong with one. I met a guy in the boundary waters that only used aluminum canoes and traveled all through those lakes. Man I bet that’s neat to visit. I am having my morning tea in my Hudson Bay cup as I type. Cheers my friend Mike

[@user-cw3df8si1w]

Do hope you enjoy your trip. Wishing you a safe one, God bless you and yours. Know deciding which pipes and tobaccos to take can be a tough decision.

Hey thanks so much. It sure can be. :0) Thanks for the prayers. Cheers my friend Mike

Hey old man!! Any news from Redcoat lately? Love Shiner Bock!!! Here's an answer to your lighter problem.....ZIPPO!

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Hey buddy. Not much. I try not to bother him too much. Yes I know. But it was a free repair. Thanks so much for watching Mike

[@Eijor_Pip]

You look so comfortable. Do You ever fall asleep sitting out there, or in the Frog and Toad? I do quite often.-Eddie

[@oldmanthingspipes]

Hi Eddie When the shed was the fisherman’s nook before the frog and toad transformation I would fall asleep. But the new furniture makes it too difficult. As for outside the chairs aren’t comfortable enough on the back of the head. Thanks Eddie Mike

[@jbafternoonpiper404]

Another great chat, Mike. I'm outside on the deck watching your video with a pipe and some tequila. I'm a kayak guy. Your canoe looks big. My kayak is a 12 footer. Are you staying in one place and canoeing around? I'm looking for a fireside chat on your trip. I hope to get up your way and have a pipe with you sometime this year. Cheers.

[@oldmanthingspipes]

@@jbafternoonpiper404 oh that would be fantastic if you could get over here. I’d love that!! Yes base camping. We don’t normally have fires when we camp. But I will be having a few chats for sure. Cheers my friend. Glad you enjoyed the chat!! Mike
