"Are people just trying to play with me?" haha What an amazing experience for the kids. With a full pack, she managed that better than some of us adults. The views were absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing Marty!

Thanks man! I appreciate that :)

100% agree Marty, taking children into the back country and putting them in challenging situations is so valuable. These skills can't be taught without doing. We have always taken our kids into the back country and pushed them through kms of portaging and paddling. Just finished up a video of our boys and my past brother in laws boys taking his ashes to Highfalls deep in Algonquin. With 12km of portages it challenged all of us. Love your content, keep it up! Cheers!

Thanks man I appreciate it :) Highfalls is a great place to RIP. Sorry for your lost my friend. cheers,

Awesome trip! Watched with my 8 and 6 year old daughters and they are inspired. It’s so rewarding pushing our kids to explore their limits. They complain a bit along the way but the reward is that much sweeter at the end. Thanks for sharing your journey. Much appreciated! 🔥

[@martymorissette]

I’m glad to hear your kids got inspired!!! Thanks for watching my friend :)

I miss hiking with my son but he's 17 now and has friends to hang out with and parties to party at.

[@martymorissette]

Yeah I’m very aware these next few years are the last ones for a while!!! Trying to take it all in!

The decathlon looks like my kiddos deuter backpacks. I have been buying high quality down bags on Reddit used for the kids. Such a big difference get their bag down to a pound. Then you share an UL tent like the xmid 2. Ups are always worse than the downs. I LITERALLY said that to my 14 yr old daughter in RMNP this week. :)

[@martymorissette]

yeah I looked at the deuter and you are right it is very similar! yeah her setup was pretty dialed in at 15 lbs! I do still have to try the xmid... haven't gotten my hands on it yet!

[@Uhdeonthefly]

That was a great introduction into backpacking for your daughter & your family… she did awesome indeed! Excited to see your next adventures.. the 14 day trip sounds interesting!!!!!

[@martymorissette]

Oh yeah my friend I can’t wait!!!

[@ecttreker9816]

[@martymorissette]

Thanks :)

Baptism by Type ll fun! 🤣 Marty you should tell your girls the story about Yellow-Yellow who was the smartest bear in the Adirondacks. She could open up those bear canisters (documented fact) and there’s urban legends (I’ve heard it from park rangers/DEC Officials) that say she taught her offspring and others how to do it as well. If you take them back there, you might want to study up on the hermits that inhabited the park. As a child I visited hermit camps that my father knew about. The Mountaineer store in Keene Valley is a great resource for any last minute needs and the Noon Mark Diner in town has the best pies too 😉

[@martymorissette]

lol yeah the bears were a problem for a long time out there but it seems to be so much better now that they've mandated bear canisters for over a decade now! Dude that diner in Keen is insane!!!!!!!!! Cheers brother
