Fall Canoe Camping Trip: Oswegatchie River - Thunderstorm | Freezing° | Rookie Mistakes & Successes

FULL DISCLOSURE: I'm still new to this! YouTube, filming, and canoe camping! I had never even gotten into a kayak before until Summer of 2019 believe it or not...

I'm just having fun documenting my trips and will surely show my successes as well as my failures. I learned full well on this canoe camping trip on the Oswegatchie River that staying dry is KEY and that you should never NOT have a lifeline available. I didn't take the necessary time to plan out this trip and left without enough dry clothes. I left the take out spot completely alone, in cold rainy conditions and perhaps without the proper gear to stay and keep dry. I'm proud that I carried on and finished what I set out to do. Camping in an Adirondack leanto at High Falls was a memorable experience! I hope that I can look back on this video in 5 years and think "I had to have started somewhere."

If you are looking at canoeing in the Adirondacks and want to do the Oswegatchie River to High Falls trip, it is likely better done when water levels aren't this low. It is a beautiful spot however, and would make for an amazing Spring trip.

Thanks to all of you who do enjoy the video and are interested in coming along with me in the future. I'm excited to see where this takes me (literally and figuratively..) It's my hope that one of my videos inspires someone to get out there and try a solo camping trip someday.
Thanks again for watching!
