Adirondack Canoe Camping Raquette River Falls | Camp Cooking

[@brianmckittrick8665]

Another great adventure and video by you. Thanks for taking me back. Great camera work . Your video's make getting through the winter a lot easier.

[@CanoeCampClimb]

Thanks. Glad you like them! Sounds like your missing paddling as much as I am.

[@Snowalker13]

This was a great video bro!

[@CanoeCampClimb]

Thank you. I had a great time hanging with my buddy Mike on this trip. I hope to camp in this spot again this coming paddling season.

[@robertdodd9623]

You guys definitely didn't plan on starving that trip. Lots of Deer, good video 🔥

[@CanoeCampClimb]

Thank you Robert. We certainy had our fill of bacon.

[@christopherbailey3740]

it'd be fun to list the beers you're trying too, in the same list/description section as your gear, you know? idk, as a deep craft beer dude myself, it looks like y'all aren't messing around, and could showcase it too. Either way, Cheers!

[@christopherbailey3740]

your buddy's crackin' an early AM hill farmstead!! love it

[@CanoeCampClimb]

that's a good idea Christopher. Maybe for an upcoming video. My buddy Mike is also a bourbon aficionado.

[@CanoeCampClimb]

@@christopherbailey3740 Nothing like a breakfast beer to get the blood flowing. Lol.

[@MeetMeOutside]

Fantastic ! That’s another trip I’m looking to do, the Raquette River from Lomg Lake

[@CanoeCampClimb]

Thank you. I plan on paddling from Old Forge up through here next year... Basically the traditional 90 Miler route that went up through Forked Lake, etc.

[@MeetMeOutside]

@@CanoeCampClimb That sounds awesome!

[@johnfuniciello]

Butch, It’s been great to find your channel, and awesome of you to share some of these spots with your viewers. I have lived here my entire life, but just recently inherited my grandfathers canoe. I’m looking forward to getting my son out on the water with me, and watching your videos has allowed me to put together a little bucket list of trips that I can’t wait to get started on. Keep up the great work, very well put together content, and adventures. Cheers 🍻

[@CanoeCampClimb]

Hi John. Thanks for the nice note. And I'm glad my videos were of some use. I have several exciting trips planned for this season. Have a great time with your son... I am sure you will make some great memories out there.

[@ADKAddicts]

Another great edit. Nothing beats a hot breakfast in the morning on a canoe trip. That current keeps getting worse the closer to long lake you get.

[@CanoeCampClimb]

Thank you. When I watched your video paddling upstream on the Raquette I knew what you guys were experiencing... that current is stronger than it looks. It was ripping around some of those tight turns. The paddle back to Axton Landing took less than half the time. Breakfast was damn good... but I have to say those sausage sandwiches we had for dinner tasted amazing. Cheers.

[@jimibreeze]

Nice job putting this together. Like the way you tell the story with the camera. Some really clean shoots too.

[@CanoeCampClimb]

Thank you Jimi. Did you happen to watch my winter canoe camping trip? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqmWfHVthrOhjNU

[@Hjfool]

Epic content, and that food looked amazing. Brave of you guys to sleep in those bear pinata's.

[@CanoeCampClimb]

haha Thank you. I put an extra piece of bacon in Mike's hammock underquilt making the bear's decision on which of us to snack on easier.

[@robertwhite254]

Nice job showing the area and meals. I’ve been there twice - potential visitors, know that in May the river is swollen, none of those sand banks, and you’ll have a head net on except when you’re eating, cloud of black flies dining with you/on you. Great thing about canoeing is the stuff you can take since you’re rarely (portaging) carrying it. Would be interesting to see how this food is packed and what bag/box works well to carry and stay dry in the boat. Awkward to carry much, but I like to have a plastic milk crate along, strap pouches on the outside, use as a table or seat. Let’s paddle on, and drink in the quiet dawnings.

[@CanoeCampClimb]

Hi. Robert. Thanks for the nice comment. I've been thinking about doing a few separate videos... one on my canoe loadout... then shorter videos focusing on my sleep systems... and the various cooksets I use. So much to want to do and sol little time. Yes.... the Raquette in the spring is often swollen and you can paddle over those banks and into the trees... making for a neat experience. This particular canoe trip was a bonus November outing... unseasonably warm.

[@NorwayHikesTrails]

Great trip, you have a great voice for story telling. Thank you for sharing and wishing you all the best 👍

[@CanoeCampClimb]

Thanks I really appreciate that nice compliment. I wish you the best as well. Happy holidays.

[@David-e6d6n]

Your vids are cool they don’t bore me lol and it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who likes rainy days in the adk there very relaxing to me we go up every July for ten days. Best ten days of my year.

[@CanoeCampClimb]

Hey David. I'm glad you enjoy the vids. Many of my favorite trips were rainy. While people tend to stay home... the rain brings out the wildlife... especially the loons and otters. Enjoy your July trip.

[@anninwhack1998]

Great video! I’m not sure if you will see this comment so late but if you can do a video explaining how you secured your fresh food cooler from the bears and critters I’d really appreciate that.

[@CanoeCampClimb]

Hey thanks for watching. Funny you ask about the food and bears. I am just finishing up a video on that topic (and a few other topics). Great question... and a super important one. Anyway... for this trip we used our bear cans... per usual... but for the fresh food (bacon, etc) we used a bear hang. The video I am working on will cover things in more detail.

[@robertbeirman107]

rain brings peace....nice trip

[@CanoeCampClimb]

I totally agree Bob. The world is definitely more peaceful on rainy days. Thanks for watching.

[@AbundantAdventures]

Another good one. I definately plan to hit up the raquette River sometime. I'd be interesting in seeing a canoe gear load out. What bag and gear you prefer to bring.

[@CanoeCampClimb]

Great suggestion! I've had a few people ask me for a gear load out video. I suppose I should. Thanks for watching and the compliment too.

[@Jared_Albert]

Thank you. Looking forward to warmer weather

[@CanoeCampClimb]

me too. Dying to get a canoe trip in.

[@Hobomountainwander]

Another well done video. I see you were near the North End of the Northville Placid Trail. Its always great to enjoy good food and company with friends. I would love to meet for a trip sometime.

[@CanoeCampClimb]

Thanks Joseph. yes it is right along the the NPT. An awesome area. I certainly like when my buddy Mike joins me on trips. he always has good beer and bourbon.

[@Hobomountainwander]

@@CanoeCampClimb The NPT is best and I have 39 miles to finish this year. Good beer, spirits, and food is what it is about.

[@Ares_dA_K1nG]

Love the video but have a question regarding the food. I see the cooler and know people use those blue barrels when canoe camping, do you hang them or just put them away from camp and hope for the best?

[@CanoeCampClimb]

@@Ares_dA_K1nG hey thanks for the question. If i recall this trip correctly.. my buddy Mike brought a hardsided cooler that held just canned beer. That was stashed in bushes that night. I had my bear can as usual and always just stash that in bushes/deadfall when not in use. I also had a green icemule soft backpack cooler that got hung.

[@briancampbell5243]

What was that song? Sounded awesome!

[@CanoeCampClimb]

It is called "Craniums"... by Pearce Roswell

[@martyfries]

How are you taking drone footage? Launching and landing a drone on NYS forest preserve land designated as “Wilderness” is illegal?

[@CanoeCampClimb]

A good question I am happy to answer. I take responsible flying very serious and do not launch a drone without a lot of research. I put this info in the descriptions of my videos that have drone footage in an effort to keep people from flying illegally. I hope this helps. I find the interactive land classification map very fascinating too: ** IMPORTANT NOTE ON DRONE USE** Before launching a drone be aware of the FAA rules on usage and restrictions. The Adirondacks also have their own set of rules regarding drone use. You are not allowed to launch and operate a drone from within the High Peaks Wilderness... which borders the eastern edge of our route along the Raquette River. My shots were taken outside the no-fly boundary and the drone kept within my line of sight. Outside of the technical rules... and as a basic human courtesy... I also take special care to make sure I am not interrupting anyone's camping or nature experience. If people are around in these peaceful places... the drone stays grounded. Below are links to help you fly legally: www.adirondackcouncil.org/page/where-can-you-fly-a-drone-in-the-adirondack-park-305.html#:~:text=In%20the%20Adirondack%20Park%2C%20it,Primitive%E2%80%9D%20or%20%E2%80%9CCanoe.%E2%80%9D Adirondack Land Classifications Map: adirondack.maps.arcgis.com/apps/OnePane/basicviewer/index.html?appid=625564b0f5b249f2ba29a931f23891ad
