This is a different kind of video for me, more of a vlog of my trip south to Swift Canoe to pick up my new boat.
I meet up with Shawn James from My Self Reliance, we hang out at swift, then go to dinner, we then part ways until the next day, where Shawn, Doug and I head out fishing for bass, and camp out at The Log Cabin Shawn has built.
This is footage I normally dont film, so this is really just an extra video, full trip video of fishing and cabin life with the guys will be up this Friday.
Hope you enjoy!

It's gonna be a fun a couple days I'm in the car right now I'm heading about six hours south to Gravenhurst to the Swift company to pick up my new canoe and then I'm going to Shawn's place one of my self-reliance cabin meet up with Doug and Shawn and we're going fishing so I want to break it up into two videos today's video is just gonna be the vlog.
II type 10 minute long video you can stick with me if you want to see that kind of stuff whoa what's that as a 12-6 and joke one.
Joe's here welcome thank you all right so this is the new pack boat we're gonna let old Scotty give us a rundown on it Scott works here at Swift he's been here for quite a while he's big man on campus over here all right so yeah we'll give.
You the rundown on Joe's new whip for the season so this is the new Cruiser 14 8 so we started designing a new pack boat series last year we started with a bigger version then we did a smaller version and then we did the medium version this is the medium version so Joe and I were talking he's got tripper now he said you know I need a little bit.
More boat so I can fit Ripper I can fit my gear you know what are you guys working on this boat we were already kind of prototyping David Yost had already kind of made the the rough outline of it and when we design a boat David Yost literally makes the first version out of wood so the original prototype of every boat we make is made.
Out of generally cedar or even pine and so that's around that time he designed the prototype we went and paddled it you may have seen some of that on social we love the boat it's a great size that's the one you brought into my place and we get old in the yes if you ever checked that out in any of our socials that was the most adventurous I think we've ever.
Done I've seen better weather for that but you were a good sport so I appreciate that and we ended up with this so we love the boat everything about it lined up we put it into production and right around that time it was getting to be close to spring Jody needed his new ride so here we are so Joe and I talked about colors.
Maybe a new scheme something to mix it up give you something that nobody else has this is what we did so this boat is 100% carbon fiber carbon fiber hull MacDonnell's carbon fiber parts and we did it with this cool material which is called carpet and negra each weave each week being the term if you look really.
Closely it kind of looks like little H's and this is a new material that's got a lot of properties similar to Kevlar similar weight similar abrasion resistance all those things looks really cool nice and strong nice and light and it opens us to doing some cool color schemes as well so we don't normally do this but Joe and I were talking about.
Colors check this out let's do it an orange on the bottom man I love it dude so we flip the logo on the bottom for ya that's in there to it you were saying that's not a decal this is not a decal this is literally built in the boat so when you make one of these composite boats literally the first thing you do you have a boat mold.
An empty boat mold and you literally paint that mold so the first thing you do is you put in your orange paint so we put that in with a little cut out to do the Scout logo then you lay in your layers then you pull through all your resin and what you end up with at the end is this really cool lightweight coat with a built in logo how much you think.
There's no ways this guy you'd be just under thirty pounds your current boat is 25 this one's a little bit longer we've got an additional 14 inches of length compared to your current one yep so and then with you know we put the fishing package on it oh yes GoPro mounts we got all the spective these guys here right yep gram we put that right on the bow.
There so you can catch tripper hanging out in front of the bow nice and just add water just add water we got lots of that so the yoke is different on this one yes so your older boats we we like to take care with new ideas we're really big on are indeed new designs new styles one of the things we heard with some of the older yokes and it's been brought to.
Our attention is that they can slip off depending on the fit not always but sometimes if you give it a good pop it can do that personally knit I liked I never really had a problem but I did hear a lot comments and stuff from other people - yeah so just the in light of that you decided well let's actually secure it right to.
The boat yeah then essentially you know your failure rate is zero so what we did is every boat comes with these holes drilled out in an insert into the go and then when you screw your yoke in it's right in the balance point you don't have to find that balance point right these guys put a boat up and it's back heavy yeah goes back you know it was my.
Biggest problem finding the same spot every single time was my biggest exactly yeah so we eliminated that put it right into the boat everything's secure no wiggle lightweight carbon fiber and you're ready to hit the backcountry oh yeah buddy yeah new seat for this year as well oh yeah oh the high back yeah so high back seat with lumbar aims it.
Is very hotel yeah did you like it it's thicker than the old ones breeze better doesn't hold heat I mean it kind of molds to you I don't want no buck sweat nobody likes mother and then nice and flexy in the back so as you're paddling the seat willing to move yeah if you do wear your lifejacket we should and Joe does it's a little bit easier on.
You you don't have that kind of grading into your back as you go this is completely different the way this this bends is hundred percent different ones were waist differed there with a Jeff with just a different type of plastic insert so thickened it up you know made it a little bit more malleable that way and I think you guys are fine too if you.
Spend a few hours of this boat as you always do you're not gonna notice that it's not gonna bug you stay a little bit cooler mm-hmm you know if you're on the fish or something and don't want to get out of the boat yeah that happened so often if you look down yeah wow are these sucked in goes uh-huh so this is a classic feature of.
See one racing canoes the objective being is that when you're paddling a boat your paddle is going by this area of the hull okay if the boat is widened out at that part you may have to bend stretch yep go far not getting as much room for this allows you that when you're in the boat the boat is closer to you you're.
More secure with it you don't have that reach so you can get a more powerful stroke stroke at a faster rate again just an increase in efficiency right is really the objective and you'll find that too compared to the old ones I hate the old ones but your current public has a very flared hull which means it goes straight up and down this.
Boat has a very a lot of tumblehome moments crazy on this is the curl yeah so what that does is you know the gunnel is actually inside the boat definitely so easier to reach over it's gonna make it seem a little bit narrower winner in it you've got this up here so that when you're doing that reach you don't have to really extend and again more comfort.
More efficiency cover more miles pick Oh to paddle now plug it another 240 of what come on oh oh hello sir good to see you buddy yeah a long time yeah you been okay yeah yeah all right good looking forward to fishin yeah actually deviltry was dog free weekend fishing oh I actually brought tripperz in the car oh is it no that's okay.
I'll have to you gotta find a tight little set of Rapids I needed this executive way through some you're the better boat for that I didn't actually do much like the actual normal solo paddling with it because of the seat position I guess yeah but I might try that today if you want to keep up - we have a.
Choice yoke on it yeah she looks good on there Scott yeah buddy and oh man cool books here oh yeah easy number before my stupid Jeep we had to install a deer that I got where the hands.
I'm still recording unless though see we might have to modify this well last time didn't we have a little extra hoop last time that's what I'm talking about in the modifications I do have that loop but I don't know we need it right now you got this honking ridiculous what do you mean pick a winch that could pull a tank under the mud Joe needs it.
Well yeah you knowing you you did this probably came out of your emergency stash if I with your paracord no no yeah Canadian Jam not my license plate on the lecture all right well he's pretty cool timing worked out perfect Shawn rolled up got the little boat on the car everything's.
Good Shawn and I are gonna go up for dinner Doug's coming up soon I'm spending the night in a hotel because I need to have a shower in the morning it's not an option I have to do it so yeah Doug's not up yet Shawn and I are gonna have a nice dinner together and then we'll part ways and then I'll.
Meet back up with those guys tomorrow morning so we're just gonna drive now in the Gravenhurst and get some food I am famished just parched yes for sexy well that was fine I was a nice little catch up with Sean had some good food so.
I'm just gonna head to a hotel and do some research and work on my editing and my emails and all that fun stuff it's not got too much time before it's bedtime tonight so I'll be catching up with those guys in the morning doing some nice some nice fishing as opposed to some bad fishing hopefully so I hope you guys enjoy this little vlog you take.

I came for the Shawn and I'm no longer upset.
I wonder if that yoke is traumatic having to screw it in on every occasion? Your outdated one you popped it on in indulge in 5 seconds!
All I needed to label used to be David Yost on that canoe and I knew it used to be genius!
Oh man the genuine thing skinnier than Joe in this video used to be his denims… lole
