a leather bound journal i got just for this

really really interesting i'm finding uh i'm i'm really enjoying
that part of it i haven't kept a

about uh a dude paddling in quetico which is not far from here

my fishing pole uh case
the backpack i brought it all
in is a frost river isle royal junior
it all fit in there pretty decent this is only like maybe a 40
or 50 40 liter backpack tops
but there's a bedroll strap on the bottom
which came in handy so i want to give a huge shout out
to frost river to hestra and to aqua quest i reached out
to three companies and all three
companies delivered i told them exactly what i
was going to do and they all wanted to be a part
of it so aqua quest sent a couple dry bags
and my tarp hestra sent these lars fault gloves which
are really cool and frost river with the backpack
so thanks a lot guys uh really appreciate all that
i have my camera gear here still to go through
so you saw my 10 items you saw my other items
that didn't count as the 10 the reason
those didn't count as the 10 was because even on a
They let us bring gloves a toque
a little bit of extra clothes and stuff
The only thing that I brought that really wasn't part
of that was the book and the journal, and I don't care
That's mine. I'm having that as my thing for ten days while I'm here
I really want to keep a journal of everything
that's going on my thoughts that I keep to myself
Not that I share with you guys even
though I share everything with you guys
There are some things that I need to work
on and and look back on and read on and feel how I was
remember how I was feeling
at this time specifically so yeah that's very
important to me and the book I'm reading the book
as well, okay so my other my other stuff here
this is the last of all of my gear
all of my filming stuff I'm filming right now
on a Canon 80D I have it on a
large size tripod I also have a Rode
video mic go so that's my main camera
that's what I've been using pretty much
this whole time I also have my backup
camera, my Nikon D5500, with a small little microphone,
another Rode microphone on it,
things quite wobbly, wobble, wobble, drop it,
drop it, shake it, shake it, stop it,
stop it, that's not how it goes, anyways,
with another decent sized tripod, in here
I have a Canon 60D with a lens,
I also have a Canon point and shoot, and extra batteries
or something like that in here
this is Harlan's Red Lake Outfitters I have a scope that shows
night vision like heat sensor stuff
so uh once i'm on my bigger island i can shoot it around
at night and see if there's any critters walking around
or coming to maul me inside here i've got
lens wipe i've got extra batteries
for both cameras i've got a charger because i have i
I got two chargers, one for each camera.
I have a Goal Zero solar charger here
that charges like the wall outlet style,
so I can charge in that with the solar panel.
All this stuff is decently heavy and pretty fragile,
so I'm trying to be really careful with it,
considering it's not even mine.
I borrowed it all from Harlan at Red Lake Outfitters.
Big thanks to him, too.
I got my headlamp.
This is what we use for helping us film on the show,
and that's why I brought it.
but in all reality, headlamp is very useful.
Obviously, I've been using it.
Chest mount for the GoPro.
GoPro, there's a GoPro on my boat still.
A big old light for nighttime.
This is delicate too.
An extra lens for my Nikon.
Odds and ends in here, like selfie stick,
cords, chargers, extra batteries,
USB chargers, GoPro floaties,
GoPro mounts for the canoe, just everything.
I've got an Olympus tough point and shoot here
that I can do time-lapse stuff with.
I also have in here, this is a sat phone in my Pelican case.
I can call if the poop hits the fan, if I need to get out.
And I also have that spot system
I showed you the other day in my pocket.
I could hit the SOS button and get out of here
if I need to, which I'm not doing.
It's not going to happen.
But, Pelican Case sat phones for emergencies.
And last but not least, the most important thing
that I have with me right now.
By far, I don't know what's in here.
I have not a clue what's in this box.
Why is it the most important thing to me if I don't know what's in it?
Because it's a birthday present from my kid and my wife.
Pulled out all the stops.
Parts all around the box.
All around.
Look at that.
It's my birthday in about a week.
And I'll still be here.
it'll be my second last day here
and I have a present that's why it's so
important to me I have no idea what's in it
and I'm super I can't tell you how
excited I am to open this thing
so thanks honey and honey both my honeys
I'm super excited for this no idea so yeah
so this is gonna go all this stuff
all all my camera gear my delicate stuff
this is all going inside my big red dry
bag that's why I have that I hate it
the thought of bringing an extra big bag
because it looks like I'm I have two backpacks
when I really only have one
full of gear but the reality is there's
no way that I can fit all of my camera
gear into my backpack with all with my ten items
and those extra like the my
book my first aid because all that stuff
that I showed you there all that stuff
not just the ten items goes in my Frost River bag
because I feel like that's my
bag with all the things that I have
that I need the camera stuff is just extra
right even on alone they gave us
a huge pelican case way bigger than that bag to
carry around plus that oil skin tarp
and another blue tarp and stuff so like our
hands are just full of stuff plus
a big 110 liter Kelty backpack on our backs so
I'm glad I got that done I've been needing
to do that this whole time right
it's it's an important thing
to let you guys know exactly what I have that's
everything I have on my boat I'm not counting
that as an item it's just a vessel to travel
around in but uh i figured i didn't know what to bring as my 10th item
when i when i when i
originally said i was going to do this i counted
the boat as an item and you guys were like don't
do that that doesn't make sense you know what i mean
so thank you for that i realized that uh
that you're right about that and it's helped me big time
so i didn't know what to bring for my
10th item and i decided on a saw and i'm glad i did
because it's uh when it comes to shelter
building and cutting up firewood
and stuff even in here like swinging an axe in this area it's
a lot of rocks and it's okay to cut down a tree
or limb a tree with it but when you're trying to
buck something up it's really dodgy kind
of so pretty tight in here too all right that's that
it's time to pack all this gear up get
in the boat head down the lake and try and find
a great spot for my permanent camp
for the next eight days nine days seven days eight days
eight days it's today's day three i'm here
for 10 days seven days maybe okay up and at them
