Outstanding Video! I love being on a mission, where the mission is to do nothing. The food was exactly the way I like it. Great video. The black and white shot of the lake is fantastic. Best, Joe.

[@kevendrover2442]

Just the fact that you guys are wearing life jackets makes me want to watch and to all the cool dudes out there who don't, well they should. Stay safe from newfoundland and labrador Canada great video.

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

I will admit, I don't always wear it. 98% of the time I do though. If I am just poking around close to shore in the summer fishing or something close to camp I dont wear it sometimes. But it is right there close. Other than that, I wear it. Summer being a key word. Cold water is no joke, and the vest is on no matter what. It is such an important piece of gear. Thank you for the comment. Stay safe and happy paddling!

Good to see the Wilderness out on a trip! Gotta love Basil Hayden! Took a tour of Jim Beam back in April and it was Awesome, they make Basil Hayden and Bookers which we liked best. Nice video as always, hope all is well!

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

I love this canoe.When I was waiting for the Trillium, I was wondering if the Wilderness was going to collect dust all season. If It did I was going to sell it because it is a very nice canoe that deserves to be used. I am very happy to say that the wilderness will continue to be used by me. She is not going anywhere. I suspect I may actually use it more than the Trillium as that canoe is going to be used very gingerly Lol. The Wilderness does need some love. Fabric showing pretty good now on the bow stem. I am going to restore her to the best of my ability soon. That basil hayden was very good! All is well out this way bud. Thank you. All the best to you

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... Awesome outing !! Going to camp on an island with skulls dotting the shoreline 02:20+ ,, Yikes !! .. Beautiful lake, would have had to stay at least one more day to lose the holiday boaters ... Meals looked amazing ...

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

We left on the 3rd. By the time we got off that lake the boaters were rolling in. I'm sure the 4th was insane. I think we timed it pretty well. This is a fun lake to spend time on. And the food!!!

[@zone4garlicfarm]

@@ItsGoodintheWoods That lake never gets too crazy with boat traffic. Rangeley Lake is the only lake in that area that gets somewhat busy and I wouldn't call it crowded. Most of the boat traffic is fishermen trolling for salmon and trout.

[@NicoleHikesalot]

Hello Justin, awesome camp and top notch scenery, I love the hammock set up. And don't even get me started on the food. Delicious. The farm eggs look so good, I got some from the local farmer across the street here and they are yummy. Nothing like warming up after a chilly day with a good fire and food. Awesome views too.

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

It is hard to beat farm fresh eggs! This was a nice trip. Relaxing. A lot of good food. I'm still full lol

Nice looking bourbon. I haven't tried that one... yet. I thought the same thing about the strawberry before you said "I hope no one has peed on that' Those meals looked incredible! I see on the campground's website - "DO NOT cut any trees or peel bark (Alive or Dead trees)" So did you have to bring the wood out in your canoes?

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

There is downed wood everywhere. All you have to do is walk into the woods 20 feet further than all the lazy people.

[@phillipjordan9050]

PBR my kind of canoeist.everything except the hammock.i tried and can't do it.i am a tent person for sure.

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

I was a tent person for 30 years. It took me a long time to get comfortable using hammocks. Initially I did not like the swinging motion. So I would set up a rope I could reach out and grab to keep the hammock from moving, or slow down the swing. Eventually it worked out. Now I much prefer the comfort of a hammock over a tent. My primary reason for switching over to a hammock, underquilts do not pop or leak. No more mid trip blowouts.

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

Maine is awesome! They do rent canoes. I have no idea of the details though. I think the campground closes October 1st, but i am not 100% sure. If it isn't closed for the season yet, it will be soon. This is a fun lake that is absolutely worth checking out

the price is hard to justify, but from one gear junkie to another, absolutely worth it

[@alanbierhoff6831]

@@ItsGoodintheWoods Thanks for the info and product endorsement. I’ve had a Coleman Fold N Go 2-Burner Propane Camping Stove (very similar and only $75) since 2015 so, I can’t justify that expense. I’m a fan of Jetboil and got my first one (original) the day Backcountry started selling them. I did find out that I can buy just that lid (5L pot lid) from Jetboil for under $15 but it won’t be back in stock until August sometime. In the meantime, I’ll use my Banks Fry-Bake Expedition pan lid (NOLS option). I discovered this morning that it fits my 10” pinnacle perfectly. I kinda have to thank Craig for that. After the Short he just posted, I dug out my Fry-Bake stuff and Voilà! 😆

Watching the video now and I noticed you don't have your northstar canoe on this one. Did you get rid of it?

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

Good observation! I did not get rid of it. My Northstar is an extremely expensive lightweight canoe. 21lbs. That canoe will primarily be used on my lightweight trips. I know how rocky the shore line is on this lake, and I didn't want to subject that canoe to the abuse. I was also packing heavy, lots of gear, 2 coolers one for food one for beer. My wilderness handles that weight load much better than the northstar will. It's good to have options, the Wilderness was a better option for this trip. Gotta have the right weapon for the mission!
