Canoe Camping - 3 Days on The Mullica River

I started my canoe camping season this year on The Mullica River in New Jersey. I met some new paddling buddies and navigated the Mullica's twisty banks on a 2 night / 3-day camping trip complete with torrential rains and flipping my boat. Despite adverse conditions and several obstacles, it was a rewarding challenge. Looking forward to the next adventure! You can find links for some of the gear used in the video below.

Paddled the Mullica in late November of 1994 and to this day, it was one of the most enjoyable unique rivers I've ever paddled. Well done! Thank you for the footage. Makes me want to go back with my solo boat!

[@projectknifehand]

Thanks for watching! Yeah I'd like to go back with a better solo myself!

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

wet wet wet.... makes for a memorable trip

[@projectknifehand]

I will remember it for sure! Lol. Thanks for stopping by sir!

[@Doc_Watson]

Excellent adventure. Sorry you went swimming.

[@projectknifehand]

Hey man thanks for watching! You live and you learn right? Hopefully anyway! I shouldn't have been on the water when I was. But it didn't turn out so bad because of the preparations I made gear wise.

[@Doc_Watson]

@@projectknifehand but did you die? No... So it was a good trip. Great job.

[@projectknifehand]

Nope. Didn't get dead. Lol.

[@NikonF5user]

Wish I was there!!

[@projectknifehand]

I'm always ready to adventure

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

Looks like it was an interesting time in New Jersey

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

even had some home brew!

[@projectknifehand]

yeah, interesting is a good word! hah! I would go back with a shorter boat and a slightly different setup. Camping area is pretty cool! It is hammock country for sure.

[@projectknifehand]

It was delicious! Good thing he only brought one bottle, lmao. I could have consumed a lot of it, and he said it was close to 9 percent

[@barrygraber9776]

Very nice place indeed. I have paddled and camped on it many times. I can also say that yes it really is nice it also can be very dangerous with all the down trees many times they come up so fast and you need to make a quick decision whether to cross over them or duck and try and get under them all with a pretty strong push from the running current how did you enjoy your new canoe? Looks like a beauty

[@projectknifehand]

It is a fantastic boat. Definitely way more performance than I'm used to! It's an oldie but goodie for sure! It loves quickly and turns nicely for a 16 footer!

I would love to speak to about the knife I saw in "it's good in the woods": video channel I thought that knife you redid for him was very sweet! Enjoyed your clip Dude!! THANKS! Bubba

[@projectknifehand]

Thanks man! I didn't just redo the handle for him I made the knife! After seeing some of my textured grips he asked if I could rework the handle for him. No problem doing that for folks. Sure thing just shoot me an email! It should be on my page here! Thanks so much for watching!

[@WickedEarthAdventures]

Awesome video! I know what you mean about not wanting to film sometimes. Rivers with downed trees can be a lot of work and very time consuming. This one river trip I do a lot has 5 HUGE trees to get over. It is always worth doing though.

[@projectknifehand]

Sometimes it depends on where you're at in the trip if it's worth it lol. Trip turned out well but could have easily not. Not to say we did anything crazy difficult, I just mean most trips require being a little careful. I was less careful so I went for a swim lol

[@k.medeiros1983]

I think I saw you today on the north branch of the pawtuxet , I was in the red old town canoe fishing , nice to be on you tube and see other Rhode Island paddlers

[@projectknifehand]

Hah! That was me! That's awesome! I'm sure I'll run into you again!

[@k.medeiros1983]

@@projectknifehand awesome , I try to paddle at least once a week, all over ri. two weeks ago we did a little canoe camping on the pawcatuk with the family

[@projectknifehand]

I was also just on the Pawcatuck. I'll be going back soon

[@christianblanche1569]

16:50 scenery is phenomenal ... cant wait for october to come ... cant stand this heat anymore , july 10th. By the way , the scenery between hawkins and godfrey brodges is the best in that area ... amazingly beautiful tall pines , very rare in that area 👌 highly recommended

[@projectknifehand]

Thanks I will try to check it out! And thanks for watching. Yeah this heat is killing me. No fun

[@NikonF5user]

P.S. SRT!!!!!!

[@projectknifehand]

It is a sweet boat! Some day I'll get one

[@jgates5019]

Do you think this is doable with children? Going this weekend.

[@projectknifehand]

Hi there. It would be hard for me to say. I'm not an expert and the river was in flood stage. Additionally it depends on your experience. Me personally, i wouldn't do it. But there were a staggering amount of strainers etc.
