This is a chilly April trip I did with my dog, a lively 9 month old Jack Russell Terrier. This little guy is built for this stuff and did great in my new Hammock.
Join Toby and I on this adventure as I talk about the trip, new gear, camp tips and head home in the hail.
You can see my complete gear list for this trip here https://goo.gl/Gh7PeQ.
Fun video Troy. I didn’t realize that you’d made more…hadn’t followed where you’d been for a few years…busy with retirement moving, expanding a hobby into a business etc. Haven’t wet the hull for a ridiculously long time! Great to see some new videos and reviews. Visiting in your town this weekend! Spring is near so time to start planning a trip. I have a question or two for later.TTYS
Thanks! Yeah, lots of things always on the go but it’s fun to pick up a new camera (Canon G7X Mark II) and shoot some footage again. Toby has been a blast as well, great little guy for this stuff.
Hope you were able to dampen that hull a bit this season…
Cheers,
Troy
Hi Troy,
I’m enjoying your videos and wanted to say that you beat the trend by a few years – kudos.
I live in extreme southwestern Quebec (across the St. Lawrence from Lancaster). My wife and I started Algonquin tripping last year and I’ve started thinking about boats. SR and H2O are at the top of the list (I like that they both use epoxy resins and no gelcoat). We rented an H2O 16-4 Prospector on our last trip and it was a bit of a handful – tippy and wouldn’t track in even the slightest breeze. We probably weren’t heavy enough. We plan to rent a SR next, but I was leaning to the 16 or 17′ Quetico. I did check the specs on the SR Prospector but didn’t like the amount of rocker (4″ by their documentation). However, I see you seem to be enjoying yours – and that while solo, too. Did you try a Quetico? Can you offer any advice?
Much appreciated (for the videos and all) – take care.
Paul
Happy Hammock Day July 22nd
