Bushcraft Vault:Joe and Kyle's First Canoe Trip.

Description

Watch in 720 it helps a lot.

This was the first actual trip that Kyle and I took together, this was about 4 years ago.

We canoed in, fished, made shelters, did the bowdrill, lots of axework, and it is as hilarious as ever.

It was a great trip

Joe and I have just arrived at the puzzle lake area and we had a bit of a mishap I have zero experience with the canoe and he told me it was in typical it's exactly what he said I quote in typical so I may have sat on the side of the canoe while we were packing everything up and may have flip the canoe over hmm looking luckily in about two feet of water that's like 30 centimeters for the Canadians and yeah I'm soaked and I got my backup shoes on here we're good to go and we're drying everything out Joe's kind of pissed at me so how'd you sleep last night bad why is that my toesies were polled toesies are cool hands too cold from home don't do good so uh I'm going in the lake again today yeah me a little bit of a dip fully clothed full pack everything drying here yeah this is um yeah that's canoeing with Kyle let's let's take a swim with all our gear clothes on good times good day you show the massive amount of blood in our crew oh yes this is fun this was from the slaughter oh yeah we want to want to clear that out man it's kind of gross dead fish goods yeah we will so where'd you get there Joe via northern pike on a treble meps trip number three damn son chill oh let's see if I can get them a purr is all mucousy as such they are but I don't know I can't really get his teeth one second Lucy

it's a prettier wood so far I've got as much done as I can on my natural shelter I found it down pine we cut as much as I could and threw it on the back just got some firewood stacked up pretty windy so hopefully it's not going to rain tonight because I'm going to get wet it's like a wind resistant moisture resistant shelter that's the best I have there you

John I have completed our shelters and if we just did some fishing and Joe Joe did pretty good he got a big Pike I was pretty unsuccessful and fixing dinner Joe what the what do you have for this evening well sir I have a ribeye steak waiting to put that on the grill and I've got hobo dinner with potatoes and green beans in it are not green beans not green beans at all with potatoes and red peppers of yellow peppers feed Canadian huh
