Glad you had a great time. I held my breath hoping you didn't get turned off by the paddling experience. As you mentioned its just another way of seeing nature and don't have to give up backpacking.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of that many portages. It's too much work, especially for a solo trip. Setting up camp and day trip to other ponds or lakes is an easier option. You only have to portage your boat and a day pack.

You mentioned a paddle tether in your video. Here's one that I use. I sometimes bring a small packable paddle, just in case.

Thanks again Shug...Have you looked at waterproof socks. They may be an item that turns out better than expected.

I have looked and may be in my future. Using a Granite Gear canoe pack on next trip on July 12th.

What a great video. So much more enjoyable than primetime TV these days.
Anyone who has shot outdoor adventure videos knows the amount of extra work you did just for us. Thank you.

Shug you mentioned catching yourself talking out loud to yourself all the time.
I find I am doing that as well. I wonder if it is just something that happens in our 60's?
