I enjoyed it and like to see others solo trips. Here is the link for you.

May the rivers be crooked and winding, and your portages lonesome, leading to the most amazing view.

Thank you for that Linden. I never did see the "ADD LINK" box when doing this post. Only the "Photos" Link.


It was a very fulfilling trip.

Shug,


Why do you do this to me!? I had a perfectly stressful day of work planned. Then you go and post a video that I watched and it brightened my mood. Ugh.

I am Mr. Brightsides and my aim is to ruin that stressful day! Haaaa
Thankee for checking it out.

My attitude needed this trip more than I thought. I felt that I portaged more than I paddled. Mucho appreciato for watching.

That far west area is the place for solitude. It seems like you found some. I loved that you got a nice bass and fried it up. I was hoping that would happen.


I always enjoy your videos especially when you’re solo. Ever want to up the adventure and go to a park like Wabakimi or even Quetico?


Thanks for posting, I’m a long time fan and credit you for getting me into hammock camping back in 2009. Still using my warbonnet blackbird and superfly tarp.

You can't spell canoe without at least one of the letters from "Whoooooooo Buddy".


Recommend more Shug-in-a-canoe in the future.


Cheers!
