Today we have an awesome guest.
This is friend and fellow canoeing savant, YouTuber, Joe Robinette.
It was a freak accident. One second changed my entire life.
Three weeks in a coma, airlifted to multiple hospitals,
and permanent nerve damage in my hand.
I waited for about three hours before they let me in to see him,
and they already had him completely sedated.
I have been busting my ass doing
as much stuff for my hand as I possibly can.
Since my accident I've been a lot more cautious
and I realized my own mortality.
The plan for this week is I have
a small bushcraft style backpack loaded to the gills.
We're going to fly in on a float plane
and we're going to sail for six nights.
I'm nervous. I'm a little nervous.
A little bit anxious
before we head out.
The problem in going on a solo trip like this is like whether
or not I'm gonna be able to hack it
Can I paddle all day long? Can I set up a tarp? Can I build a shelter?
It has changed my life completely
