Oh how I wish I cud find a single woman who is just like you down here in South Carolina. I’m sure I would be a happy man!! How come all the good ones are so far away? Woe is me, woe is me. Love the video, your choice of food, your love for the water wilderness and your awesome personality!!!

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you Craig. 😊

[@CamperChristina]

I'm glad I am helping you enjoy them virtually at least. :) Hope you check out some of my summer trips. I think you will really enjoy them. The algonquin trip is 4 parts as is the Killarney trip. Both canoe trips that were pretty tough but really fun. (algonquin 5 day solo canoe trip and killarney solo canoe trip) CHEERS! :) THANK YOU!

[@randijensen5166]

Noticed you have a Delta kayak, I have a 18.5 just for camping! Love your trips.

[@CamperChristina]

Thanks so much Randi! That's a big kayak! Happy paddling! :)

[@lorrieexplores]

Looks like a great time! Will have to make it there myself some day. Thanks Christina!

[@CamperChristina]

I hope you do! It's a very pretty place! Happy Paddling and thanks for checking out my video and for commenting. I really appreciate it!

[@JackfromOntario]

The French River is my favourite canoeing destination and I've visited it some 20 times since 1995. Last time, in June, 2023, we departed from Hartley Bay and stayed on Boom Island. Unfortunately, it was not a very good trip: the fire ban was in effect, occasionally smoke coming from the Quebec fires made breathing difficult, the sunny & scorching heat almost prevented us from being on the open water, at 9:00 pm we were attacked by swarms of mosquitoes and last, but not least, fishing was absolutely horrible-basically, no fish whatsoever! Nevertheless I still preferred spending my vacation on the French River than in the city!

[@CamperChristina]

Thanks for sharing. Cheers

I never heard of peameal bacon, but then I'm from Pennsylvania. Lancaster County - here, we eat scrapple with maple syrup.

[@CamperChristina]

It’s just unsmoked back bacon made from boneless pork loin. It has a bunch of other names. You probably have a equivalent there of some sort? I hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers!

[@riccartwright5623]

always good to see enjoyed

[@CamperChristina]

Thanks my friend ! :) Much appreciated!

[@canoeman37]

Thanks....that was great...

[@CamperChristina]

you are very welcome! thank you for watching! :)

[@ntleo1518]

Thumbs up for you

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you 👍 back atcha. Cheers!

[@suzyq1730]

The second campsite was much nicer than the first one. I hope you catch a fish soon. : )

[@CamperChristina]

Suzy Q yes that site was on of my favorites of the year. Such a great site. Thanks for watching and for all the great comments. :)

[@thevoyageur2152]

You originally said canoe trip Christina, Freudian slip? Does this mean Kevin has converted you to the canoe team? Nice trip! Happy Paddling!

[@CamperChristina]

LOL, yes, I did. I had just done a canoe trip. Haha. My very first trips were actually all by canoe 16 years ago. Kevin likes to take credit for conversion but I have always done both kayak and canoe tripping. Just more kayak recently because I own 2 and don't own a canoe. Someone has recently lent me one to use for the season so I have been doing a few more trips. I am actually planning a big one for this coming weekend! Stay tuned! (hopefully, I survive! hahaha) Happy Paddling to you as well! thanks so much for watching and for commenting! :) Much appreciated!

[@keithmoriyama5421]

A question for Christina or any owner of a Delta kayak (16'-17') I am awaiting delivery on a 17' Delta which recommends a paddler weight of 170-240lbs. I'm 175lbs-- bottom end of recommended weight. So if a woman is paddling a 16' the minimum weight is 140lbs. So if you are at the low end of recommended paddler weight how does this craft handle.

[@CamperChristina]

I would check with delta. They have a great customer service team and any time I’ve contacted them I’ve gotten a reply. I hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers

[@asiam7436]

How much does the kayak weigh and how are you portaging it? I'm really enjoying your videos! I paddle in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Minnesota on the Canadian border.

[@randijensen5166]

Due to my concussion, I am unwilling to solo kayak at the moment. Have done so for 4 years, but I need to go out with someone to verify my skills since the accident.

[@howieziegler3110]

What boat are you using?

[@CamperChristina]

Lol still the delta 15s. Lol

[@randijensen5166]

Left do Questio together?

[@randijensen5166]

Left do Quetico together?

[@CamperChristina]

I would love to do Quetico but I don't have enough time off work to drive all that way unfortunately. I generally am only able to do weekend trips at the moment. I hope you go and let me know how it was? Looks like a beautiful place!

[@jackkona1]

I have camped on the french many times. I camp on the upper french and little french If you ever want or need a camping partner hit me up

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you. I’ve actually only been there that one time and I don’t think I’ll be going back. Most of my trips are remote solo trips in Temagami. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

[@kenv1288]

Hmmm only weekends, that really limits things, maybe you should come visit Us hermits, this is a good jumping off spot. Can You see my Email? We are directly behind the Wolf center on the lake.

[@CamperChristina]

Hi ken. Sorry. I don’t see an email. You can msg me at [e-mail]. Cheers
