Thanks for watching. One of the rangers told me that they moved the latrine at Chipmunk since I was there and filmed it. I am not sure how far the move was.

No problem! Thanks for watching.

It takes an average of 1.5 hours in my solo boat. I have done it an hour.

I assume you are talking about backpacking to the site and not canoeing. The deer campsites are not really accessible by foot. At least not by trail. You would have to bushwhack from forest road 6320. From the road you can get there in 20 minutes. From the canoe landing they are only about 300 feet off the lake. If I misunderstood please let me know and will do my best to get you the correct info.

@@hemlocksandloons thank you, that helps a lot!

Thanks a ton for watching and I am glad you enjoyed.

@@hemlocksandloons I'm open to get up there yet this year I'm open work comes down so I get a little free time I miss canoeing

Work would be causing me the same problem if I did not live so close.

Yep, in the Upper Peninsula right on the Wisconsin border.

@@hemlocksandloons i recently moved to illinois and took my first fishing trip to northern Wisconsin couple years ago....I wound up staying in Ironwood....I was surprised in the morning to find out I was in Michigan. I'll have to get back up there. My son just moved to Oregon and i was researching fishing there... thought youtube might have sent the video which is why i first guessed Oregon. Yeah, too much information. Thanks for the video.

@MnNative no problem, thanks for watching

Yep it is kevlar and 27 pounds. It is a Northstar Northwind Solo. It seems like we have been getting rain every few days for over a month now,

I just got back from a couple nights on East Bear Lake.

@@hemlocksandloons I was just on East Bear also!

@user-ey1ik3xx7x I spent a few nights on East Bear the week before last. That video will be out on July 17th.

About 35 minutes or so.

Oh hi Gavin

IT resists movement along the object it is ties to. For example you could tie to a limb or small log and pull it in the direction of its long axis.

@@hemlocksandloons I’m pretty sure you’re tying the variant of the rolling hitch that doesn’t hold as well for pulling parallel to the other line. The Bear Essentials had a great video showing the two types.

Thanks a ton! There is plenty more to come.

Thanks for watching!!

They are both loop knots but different. Here is the link to the Alpine Butterfly How to tie a butterfly knot czcams.com/users/shortsT8fOWyrYgN0?feature=share

In what way?

Different knot, here is a link to the alpine butterfly. czcams.com/users/shortsT8fOWyrYgN0

Thanks!

This knot is far less secure than an alpine butterfly (AKA lineman's knot).

I would agree with that statement.

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!

Mike, I think you were. I hope others enjoy it as much as you did.

No problem. Thanks for watching!

Here is the link to that video. If I remember correctly I think you could get a couple in there. Pike 2 would be better. Whitefish Lake Campsite Tours: Sylvania Wilderness czcams.com/video/66nmEuMPfLk/video.html

Thanks for watching!

Thanks, that is most likely because I am usually teaching knots to 7 and 8 year olds.

Thanks for watching and the sub. I am glad you enjoyed it.

I like Wolf as well. Thanks for watching!

This is a clove hitch with an extra wrap. Hence the different name.

@mccluskeyp is correct. It is a clove hitch with an extra wrap making is more secure and technically a different knot.

As a sailor we use hitch knots every single day. Great for temporarily securing things, hanging up spare lengths of line, laundry bags etc. Tension on the line keeps it tight.

As long as you remove the tension on the knot it is easy to undo. @sirstinkmcwhiffington7039 has some good examples.

Correct

Good suggestion. I will try to work it in with the next group I film.

Not sure I have seen that but I will have to look it up.

Couple of OG’s in the knot tying space on YT. Kevin and JD (respectively) are great guys and really helped me out growing up learning about knots.

I am glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching.

I am not much of a fisherman but I believe it is.

It is a Spring Beauty.

Aptly named!

No, I had everything ready to go and I thought I would make a video on pre-season paddle checks but I got busy and did not get the chance. They often fill up early. People will cancel and that is why they have the first come first serve sites.

I need to get out again this weekend if I can. Unfortunately the black flys are out and biting.

@@hemlocksandloons it’s up to you to get out there and feed the black flies. Take head net. I keep one stashed in a pocket of my paddling vest. The view on the water was very pretty.

I keep one in my pocket as well.

Hope you have fun on your trip. What part of the wilderness are you planning to visit?

I wonder if it was left in the bottom or did it roll down the hill and end up there.

Cool how things work out like that! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Kevin. It is always good to see you at the show.

Funny!

I just rewatched the video to check and the 2 half hitches are correct. If they were opposite of each other you would have either a clove hitch or something that is not a knot. I guess I could be misunderstanding what you are saying.

You went under the first one then over the second one which is not the correct way for two half hitches.

@@hemlocksandloons for two half hitches they have to follow the same direction

Ok, it looks like you are correct. I watched it three more times and it appears I tied a Larks Head.Thanks for calling me out on it.

Thanks!

I have never seen it used with a chain. I've used to on pipe on radio towers. Thanks for watching!
