dehydration is pretty good for storage. If you really wanna save food look into freeze drying. Yes diy freeze drying can be costly to get started but once you have freeze dried a meal it'll keep for literally decades. Here are a couple links that have decent information: this guy at Canadian Prepper has a great sense of humor this is about diy dehydration kzread.info/dash/bejne/k6SGx5Kue87TqZM.html purchased freeze dried food comparison kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4qhsLptZse8qcY.html diy freeze dryer harvestright.com/product/home-freeze-dryer/

From my experience, dehydrating foods can remove over 90% of the weight. A real game changer, if you are carrying all your food on a trip. (40 lbs down to less than 4 lbs!) And likely about a 90% reduction in volume also. A win-win on both fronts.

Can you please do a video on food, as you mentioned? I'm planning to do a 7-10 day trip next summer in Northen BC, and I had no idea you could dehydrate your own food!? Just discovered you recently, and I've fallen in love with your vibe! Thanks for all the amazing content 😁💜🇨🇦

You inspired me and my spouse to do a little day adventure into nearby woods and make a little campfire, it was lovely and relaxing. All your content is great :)

Great to see you again Careena! It's awesome to see all of your canoe gear in detail with links for easy shopping.

Down jacket and clean warm socks. Thats what I took from this video. Everyone's favourite bits after a long days paddling 😊 Love seeing a good kit video. Was good to watch, thanks 😊

Dry suit most certainly the ONLY thang to wear when paddling my sea kayak. At least here on the West Coast of Scotland where it rains 300 days a year! It takes a brave man or woman to wear a wetsuit, even in the summer!

Very practical advice! I enjoyed this. I don't make the kinds of epic trips that you and Ryan do, but I also appreciate gear that works, and I'm also at a stage where I really don't need much more than I have. I'm also amazed at how heavy most people pack on canoe trips so it's nice to see someone else who's weight-conscious (and volume-conscious) regarding the stuff they bring along.

A very useful overview of the gear that you have used and tested. The shopping links in the video Description are very convenient. Thanks!

Great video! Love your focus on gear that is cost-effective and very purposeful. I'm slowly working towards shaving down my pack weight where I can, without breaking the bank, and you've given some great tips!

What I like about this channel is that she is not obsesed with expensive and fancy equipment , just what works and feels comfortable , plus she is the prettiest outdoor girl ever !!!

I would love to see a full food video! I'm always curious how other people pack lighter to camp/canoe.

My wife and myself are planning a trip by Harley Davidson so the right gear is gonna be the tipping point...Great show, do your own thing you and your man!! Take care.

Thanks for the saw over ax tip!! Bleed Stop is essentially important while camping alone!

Thanks for all your hard work! And taking us with and teaching us. Even in this gear video you just flow through it all. Great job. Enjoyed it.

Very informative, thank-you. I tend to be a "kitchen sink" packer and struggle to pack light.

Its cool to see the different types of gear people use or dont use. Im not that experienced but really like the whole tarping or building a shelter idea...Thx for the awesome vid.

Just bought the biolite headlamp and tested it out in my house.. I get 40 hours to a charge .. def on my favourites list now! Thanks so much for all the advice and help .. I’m headed out on a 7 day solo next week and your video reminded me that I can still scale down my pack some more.

Thanks for the video. My dad and I are planning a seven day trip through the Missouri breaks next spring/summer and this was very helpful. Totally agree about the pillow. I haven’t found the “perfect” inflatable pillow that is actually comfortable. Clothes bag all the way.

Excellent video! Very informative, well spoken. You have inspired me to pack less for our glamping trips!!

Please do a food video, would love to see what you take. This video was so helpful to me as I’m new to kayaking! Many thanks ♥️♥️

Another nice video. Good tips and good logic. I would like to add line your dry bag with a contractors trash bag. Why? You alluded to a canoe dump and a wet down jacket. A sealed contractors bag gives one an extra layer of waterproof protection for that down bag and parka. (Experience on a canoe trip above the Arctic Circle) As an advocate of leave no trace may I humbly suggest that toilet paper be burned in the cat hole to accelerate decomposition. May I also strongly recommend that ALL soap use be performed away from any waterway. Biodegradable soap particles do not break down well in a lake or stream but only in a terrestrial environment. And if someone downstream chooses to use water from the same source one bathed in, purification none withstanding, they are using the byproduct of that washing. Good tips: keep up the good work.

Please do a whole video on making, dehydrating, packing food for trips. Please Please please and off course THANK YOU!

Also - I'm from Ontario! I've spent many summers in the Kawartha area - Haliburton/West Guilford in particular! Also been on a few canoe trips in the area. I love it, you material is super inspiring. A friend and I are currently planning an Algonquin trip, I searched 'canoe trips for women' for tips and tricks for our trip and you came up first! Glad I found a fellow Ontarian adventure woman! :)

Great video. Always cool to see another’s ideas on things. Looking forward to your next one. Hope you and fam are keeping well.

Yeah! A food video would be great. Thanks for this one, very informative!

hi, hope you and your family are doing well. great to see you back making outdoor vids! kind regards.

Thanks for the info. 😁 It's always good when someone's gone through all the different gear and you can then just piggyback off their experience. 😂

Excellent video, me and my wife really enjoy watching your videos. My wife says, you have a very gentle spirit and I agree. Thank you!

Yes! Food episode please! We are heading into boundary waters Minnesota this fall for our first weeklong canoe trip and I am dehydrating natural food from home and creating our meals! I thought I was the only one… Please share your tips and tricks for wholesome healthy natural food on the trail. Thank YOU!!

Hi Alexis thank you for sharing and so helpful

Great video. I would love to see some videos on dehydrating food

Great to see you again!

Glad you are back!

Getting all your gear in a 55 l pack is excellent. Your advice re carrying an axe is very good. People have to realize the most dangerous thing on a canoe trip is themselves. So few people have any experience splitting wood for a wood stove or fireplace.

@@careenaalexis No problem . Hey found a borrower of my langford nahanni. She posted on CCR about a used canoe for solo trips and even tandem. Heck she picked it up Sept 13 and i haven't seen it since. Likes its tracking ability and speed. All my friends say she will never return it. But i trust in our community of real canoers. Am i right?

Another vote here for a food video please. Have dehydrated beef/venison mince as chillies, bolognese or curry (venison stinks as it dehydrates!) and a lentil chilli too. But other ideas would be great. We eat a LOT more than you, but we've done some stupid portages and camp "comfortably" You'd laugh at our gear! Love your bushcraft and canoe videos. We do canoe trips in Scotland, not many places to go in England. Very jealous of your forests, lakes and opportunities!

First nice to see you back 😄! Those earth bags are great ! Use it on my motorcycle 🏍 going to get into some camping 🏕 with the bike so light weight is cool 😎 enjoy the rest of your summer ! 🥰

Hey Corinna.. Sorry if I spelt your name wrong.. Really like your channel.. The fact that you and Ryan share the same interests in the outdoors is awesome.. Keep up the good content,what you do inspires women and men to get outside and enjoy the outdoors at the same time respect it.. Thank you! Also I think North Water should sponsor you and send you a nice spray deck for that canoe of yours.. Cheers to you both and maybe see you guys on the water some day..

Hi CA....nice to see you back!...A great selection of gear!....Agree 100% on the axe comment!....We all look forward to upcoming videos & seeing Ryan & Grizz!.....Take care & stay healthy!

Another great video 👌loving the gear. I really need a sleep pad and smaller sleeping bag. I made the mistake of buying a one person tent that explodes in the air, knocks you out and then you can't get it back into the case again. I am madly in love with your little one person canoe. I've been wanting to grab a kayak, but that canoe is a major game changer. 😁

For some good merino base layer-weight sweaters try Costco. They typically put them out July/August timeframe and they are great quality and priced at $20-25 usually. I go through their clothing section each time I go there just to check for the merino sweaters. They have different styles for men and women. Some years, the women's are v-neck which I wear as casual clothing with a shirt, other years they are crew-neck or round-neck which are good for adventuring.

Really enjoyed this view into the gear you use. Your canoe is freaking awesome. Maybe one day when i grow up i can buy one of those. Lightweight and strong, kinda like you. My comments and such may be delayed over the next month as i am selling my current home and moving south 58 miles and up from 4724' in elevation to 5600' and almost 2 acres vs the .17 acre i now have. But i will be here supporting your channel as always. You rock. Angry Old HIppie Hermit Peace.

Good to see ya back!! "World's shortest torso..." I have the opposite problem. Backpack waist belts ride way to high on me. But once you find the right one, cheap or not, hang on to it as long as you can!! All the stuff you tote is pretty much common sense gear - love that aspect. Some people carry the "kitchen sink" and it makes their canoe ride too low in the water. Thanks for sharing the video. BTW if that was the new house in the background - Very nice!! Looking forward to the cooling fall coming......
