Good vid . Love the campin vids and you gear reviews.
Thanks!
Dallas Ga. Okefenokee survivor. Love the video brother. We have been down there several times camping and canoeing.
It is a fun trip
Great video as always Bryan 🙂 And not at all too long! Really good coverage on gear. Useful tips 🙂 Would work nicely as a basis for packing for a paddling trip 🙂 My friend does sea kayaking regularly (almost all year round if the sea is not frozen) and has asked me to attend many times. Maybe I should someday. After having some kayaking basics course. I like the Klymit Cush. Has been part of my camping ( and my EDC bag) gear for couple years. (Way better than using my boots as a pillow like I used to do for many years.) Along with the Wildo cups and Suunto compasses. They are great 🙂 I have a whole bunch of them. Silva makes a quite nice miniature base plate compass too, does not have rotating bezel though. And also pretty cool one with thermometer. Both have a carabiner for attachment. I have found the Thermacell ( the standard one) having problems in certain places. Does not quite have enough “oomph ” for Lapland. I had two of them running at the porch of the cottage and still ended up looking like a human shaped raspberry. Seems that certain type of mosquitos just don´t get repelled easily. Thank you for sharing 🙂 Big thumbs up!
You should absolutely go with your friend Jani. It is not difficult at all.
Great load-out video, Bryan & Yup I dun seen ‘Em Loungin !         ATB Ter God Bless
Ever so comfy
Good video, but Do t stress about the time. Slow down and make sure that you cover everything you want to cover, it’s better to run a little long than to leave something out.
Thanks. I try
Awesome information. Thanks!
Thanks Cindy
Brian, you didn’t have to rush this video. There are a lot of fans out here who believe in you and what you do…especially with kids. I worked with the Boy Scouts in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, and the rewards are tremendous. I taught first aid and two of the boys went on to become doctors in their communities. Anyway, my wife and I are retired now and plan to move to Clearwater unless for some reason she persists on returning to Hawaii. I kayak and plan to do the Okefenokee Swamp. Your tips are really helpful. I took notes and had to watch your video twice to make sure I didn’t miss anything. That bucket is a super idea along with that old man easy chair :)…I will have to invest in a canoe (or a Sea Eagle 370). My kayak barely accepts my large waterproof stuff sack, a waterproof backpack and a small cooler plus a modified fishing kit. Thank you, Brian, for a very worthy video, for the work you do as a Scout Leader and as positive influence in our community.
You can rent a canoe for $50 a night.
