- Join me on a Fall solo canoe and bushcraft adventure to a remote lake in northeast Maine. The temperatures drop below freezing for an unexpected frosty morning. You will find the Fall colors and scenery spectacular!

This is what I call an excellent video. gorgeous fall scenery and a very woodsy feel. I too mourn the passing of the Kathadyn and Stillwater fiberglass canoes from Old Town. Seems that we're both old school in our choice of gear for the outdoors, and our approach to local outings close to home. the only difference being that you're in the north woods and I'm in the Southeast. Sir, thank you for your time and efforts, and please keep the great videos coming. Specially the ones having to do with a canoe, a tarp and a fly rod!
maseta3 - Thank you sincerely for your view and encouraging comments! Maine is so brilliant in the Fall and if you've never been, you should jot it down on your bucket list. I confess to being "old school" and find some of the old ways are still the best ways. I spent over a decade of my life in the southeast and have great memories of times there. I took note of your request for more videos of wood lore with canoe, fly fishing and tarp. You may enjoy my Alaska Canoe Adventure videos. All the very best and thanks again!
Liked your video, I live in Old Town, nice to see a Mainer do these videos my wife and I do these kind of trips when we can was wondering what lake this was on it was beautiful.
Thank you for your view and kind comments! I believe that lake was one of the Oxbows. All the very best.
I'm glad I stumbled on your video. Really enjoyed it. You made a subscriber out of me. I also live in Maine and am darn glad of it.
Donald Burton - Thank you sir for your kind comments and for your sub! I sincerely appreciate it. We are blessed to live in such a beautiful state. My mother was abandoned by her father when she was 2 and her mom went to work on a potato farm in Littleton, Maine where she lived in a home without electricity, running water or a bathroom. My love for Maine and survival go deeper than some. Anyway, more coming soon. All the best!
Really great video. Those are my kind of trips' I subscribed for more adventures.

What a wonderful journey, such a glorious morning. Nice canoe, had a pirogue for a good part of my life when I was living in La. it so nice to be out there and enjoy a beautiful sunrise !
Jules Sanchez - It was a Fall morning I'll always remember.
I really enjoyed your video. I am doing research for a canoe trip on the Allagash in the fall of 2021. Your video was very encouraging. Thanks so much!
Thank you for your view and comment! Doing an off-grid adventure on the Allagash River is on my bucket list. It is a beautiful, wild and remote location. You will need survival skills and to be well prepared and hopefully have another person able to go with you. It is a true wilderness test. All the very best!
This is an amazing video!! I live in Maine as well! 🙂🏕
Eric Nelson - We live in an amazing state with so many beautiful wilderness locations. Thank you for your view and kind comments! More videos coming. All the very best your way.

Thx Mark. Working on some other ones as well.

Glad you're back up sir! An excellent adventure
EDC Adventures - Much appreciated!
You made me seriously homesick! I'm a Buckeye by birth and a Mainer by choice. Retired from The MAINEiacs in 05.
My folks are in Levant and I'm building in Dixmont, so I guess we're sorta neighbors. I'm in Europe with my new bride and hope to bring her to Maine for the Summer and THIS is just the sort of thing I want to show her. My favorite place is Donnell Pond, haven't been for years and I'm aching to go back.
And ditto the Joe R quality. Subbed.
Hayseed Homestead - Thank you for the view and kind words. It's hard to beat the great State of Maine. I wish you and your new bride all the best. More coming soon!
I was wondering if there are any places to overnight on the Penobscot. All those islands look inviting. You ever camped on Donnell?
I have fished the Penobscot, but never stayed. I'm sure there are many places to stay but you would need to research your plans, many of the islands and shores are private native Indian land. I have not been to Donnell but you've made me curious. Warm regards.
great video. your videos always put a smile on my face! I am curious about your coffee filtering device. possibly you could give me details on it. Thank you and I look forward for you to keep doing what you're doing!
Jonathan Hudson - Thank you Jonathan! I appreciate your view and comments. The coffee maker I used on this trip is a GSI Ultralight drip "pour over". It weighs almost nothing and the filter never needs to be replaced. You just empty the used coffee grounds out of it, rinse it off and it's ready for your next cup. I actually use a "pour over" at home. Practice with it at home to figure out your preferences, and if you bring good coffee with you on your treks, you can make coffee as good as anywhere on the planet. I've had that coffee filter system for years and still going strong. All the very best!
Nice video. And nice to se you smile when you get a fisch on.
Thank you for the view and kind comment Jorgen! I confess that catching fish still makes me feel like a child on Christmas morning. All the best!
Love this video. It's a dream of mine to live in Maine someday. The production of this video is great. Keep up the great work!
Briggs Twitchell - Thank you for all of your kind comments! Maine is a very beautiful place to live, provided you like all four seasons. Thanks for your view as well. More coming soon.
A native Mainer here that enjoys the remote camping in a boat equipped with a trolling motor and downriggers. Would love the locale of this one. Fish a lot at West Musquash.
John Comstock - Thx for the view and comments! I'm in Tennessee and don't have my Maine Gazetteer. It's one of the small lakes just south west of East Grand Lake.
Fantastic...! Thanks.
Wow ... that was a neat experience. I wanted to jump in the picture and join you. This could be used for Royal Ranger training. Beautiful surroundings.
mike Bean - Thx my friend! I was a Royal Ranger! Just received a comment today from a church that uses the channel as a part of their ministry to fatherless boys. Give my love to your family.
Loved the video
Lawrie Haig - Thank you for your view and kind comments! See you on another one soon. All the best Lawrie.
Great video! You just got yourself another subscriber from Connecticut. Maybe I'll come up sometime and visit!
Peter Ferreira - I used to live in Mystic, CT in the 70's. Thx for the view and subscribe. You'll love the Alaska wilderness video uploading today! It will be in Part 1 & 2, because there was too much beauty and adventure to edit.
Very Nice vídeo :)
Bushcraft way of life - Thank you very much! I always appreciate the encouragement. More coming soon! All the very best your way.
Very nice video. I'm glad I found you.
Joe Sanders - Thank you Joe! I sincerely appreciate it. A beautiful canoe & wilderness video coming soon. All the best!
I'm looking forward to your next video.
Joe Sanders I’m happy for you!
Informative and meditative
Thank you for your view and comments! I sincerely appreciate it.
Upper Washington county? Down in the Machias area, myself.
downeast primitive skills - actually it is up in the county SW of Houlton.
i thought the fire triangle was fuel oxygen and heat, either way awesome video
Thank you Raighlee for your view and comment. I guess depending upon who you read and study, heat or combustion can be used interchangeably. All the best your way!
Excellent video! Well made and really captured that fall, northern Maine vibe. One question, were the two fish you caught Chubs (Semotilus corporalis) or something else? If they were Chubs, how did they taste?
Baxter Brookies - One was a white perch and the other a lake chub. Hard to find a fish that tastes as good as a white perch from clean cold water. The lake chub has a firm white meat and tastes good as well. Clean, cold water produces better eating fish than lesser quality water. Thank you for your view and kind comments. More coming soon. All the best.
OOH COOL!
Jon Goldberg - Thank you for the view and comment. All the best!
liked, and subscribed, very nice video
THENEWWRANGLER - Thank you sincerely for your view & sub! I have more on the way. All the best your way!
THENEWWRANGLER good for you!
Join me for a beautiful Fall solo canoe trip to the remote wilderness of northeast Maine. I will review some primitive fire skills as well as fly fish for my food. Make yourself a hot drink and sit down and relax. This video will bring you some needed peace and quiet.
Very much enjoyed your video. A downeast Maineiac here. I've been searching for some time to find a quality wool brimmed hat to compliment my canoe/kayak pursuits. Yours looks perfect. Would you mind revealing manufacturer and model? Thanks. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Moose Terious - the wool hat that I'm wearing in this video is a hat I purchased from Orvis many years ago. I've seen some similar at L. L. Bean and also by Stetson. ( I wouldn't be surprised if Stetson makes many of the hats you find in other brand stores. ) I hope that helps. Thank you for you view! All the best.
parabéns,lindo,maravilhoso.
Thank you Irames!
Hi. Love the video and tricks and tips. Just wondering, Where did you get that hat? Love it!
Mark Mocarski - Sorry your comment slipped by me Mark. I’ve had the hat a long time so I’m not sure where I bought it. It is a Stetson hat and I think they still make that style. All the best!
Really like the camp chair idea, where can i pick one up?
THENEWWRANGLER - I've made a few for myself and friends. You can buy a camp tripod chair with existing legs, but if you want to eliminate the weight, chisel or file the rivets off that hold the seat to the legs and just take the seat and follow my instructions on this video. Great to have by the fire! Hope that answers your question.
Wilderness Academy awesome I just bought an $11 camo chair from Cabela's I believe it will work perfectly looking forward to trying it out on a canoe trip in Algonquin Park later this summer thank you so much this video has helped me
THENEWWRANGLER - Passing on things I've learned and hearing from individuals that enjoy the wilderness, like you is why I do our channel. Thanks for your interaction! I would enjoy seeing pics of your trip. Feel free to post on our new Wilderness Academy Facebook page. All the best.
Wonderful share! I am curious how you would fend off a pack of coyotes if they chose to enter your campsite? Would bear spray work? Do you only need to discourage one coyote (bear spray to its face) for the rest of the pack to exit? Thanks!
I have never had a pack of coyotes get any closer than on this video. It sounded like 1 of the 4 or 5 packs I could identify that night were 50-100 yards from where I slept. To be honest, I have had several encounters with moose and am more concerned with them, especially in the Fall when the bulls are mating and very territorial and bad tempered. Most wildlife would be more interested in your food than human contact. My advice is always keep any food or smells away from where you sleep. I also usually carry a high power pistol and have it unholstered and within easy reach of where I lay. All the best!
Many Thanks for your insights! Safe journeys!
I live near Caribou. Where is this lake? I love backpacking and bushcraft!
Antipas 1611 - Thanks for your view and comment. There are a bunch of lakes around Grand Lake. I was southwest of there. All the best!
Looks like Machias Lakes area Washington County. Nice area, I had some good times canoeing on Grand Lake Stream, back in the day. I hear it gets a lot more people, more summer traffic now. Oh well. Cheers from an old time Caribou local.
Driving down the middle of the road adventure.
Mark Huddleston - Thank you Mark! All the very best!
Well just saying. Thumbs up guys.
No fish for breakfast?
d scheidegger - Thx for the view! had some oatmeal instead.
Great video, I also do a channel on Maine and the outdoors, especially fishing if you would like to check it out.
Toms Maine Adventures - Thx for the kind words Tom! I'll definitely check out your channel. We live in an amazing state!
Would those coyotes ever come to your camp at night to attack?
Rob C - You always have to remember wildlife is wild. The main thing is to keep your food away from where you sleep. Coyotes usually don’t like human presence or scent. Most coyote attacks are from rabies. Always be prepared.
