So sorry for the glitched out video yesterday. This is the full three day canoe camping river trip. Features lots of fishing and wildlife. This took a ton of work, I really hope you enjoy this one. Thank you for coming with me. I couldn't do this without each and every one of you. I deeply appreciate you from the bottom of my heart.

3 days? You're gonna need a bigger banana flask!

@CampingwithSamBananas

Ай бұрын

🤣🤣🤣 I've thought about that. I'm hoping to get a week long trip in this summer. I'll definitely need a bigger flask for sure 👍

2 tips to improve your fishing. (1) When holding the rod for reeling or casting place the reel stem (where it comes down where it is attached) between your index and middle fingers. Your thumb would then go up on top of the handle. This will give you much more control of the rod. (2) After tying on your spinner, trim the tag end down close to the knot. That 2" of line you leave hanging out might impact the action of the spinner.

This was my favorite video you've done! The beauty of the river and woods on either side made it perfect. I loved hearing the loons, and I think a barred owl on your first night, and seeing the beaver, muskrat and geese families was the best part. Sorry you didn't catch any fish. This river reminds me of the Coeur d Alene River or Lake Roosevelt, both within driving distance to where I live.

Amazing video it looked a little sketchy before the dam I had a kayaking trip planed but it got canceled me and my boys and daughter was going to rent some and take a two day trip with one night to camp but the river was really high and they would let us go said we have to reschedule it. I completely understand there concerns because the same weekend someone died on the same stretch of water we was going to take. So it has gotten to hot now so we have it scheduled for the fall. Stay safe

You sure had some rough waters on your second day. I was getting stressed watching you paddle though it. The guy in a raincoat watching you from the shoreline standing next to a tree around 49 to 50 mins in was a bit creepy. Did you see him? He watched you a bit then walked off into the bush.
