Backcountry camping,hiking and canoe road trip.

in my past experience in backcountry camping hiking and kayak(way better then canoes) trips I just wing it for the most part. Have good gear, a good system that works for you, be familiar with it all so you dont have anything to worry about in that sense, then just go wherever the road takes you, set up camp whenever you get tired of driving. And always ask locals at gas stations or grocery stores some cool stuff to see, a lot of the time they can point you in the right direction of cool things

I personally haven't yet, but I hopefully plan on joining some friends next year who did this this past summer:

go out to Wyoming i was out there this summer out by yosmite national park area there is alot of hiking, rafting, and so much other stuff to do i stayed at a dude ranch and it was the greatest trip of my life highly recommend going to wyoming

for tripping, you are so wrong. for casual cruising around the lake... youre still wrong

for creeks and whitewater, yeah kayaks are better. also, drainage ditches.

the majority of my camping is solo, which I assume the OP is also doing, so I'm so not wrong, because all my gear fits in my two dry hatches. When I come to a portage I simply load my gear into a portaging bag carry it first then carry my kayak in a second trip.
I don't have a whitewater boat, its between sea kayaks and a creaking boat length wise. Much faster then even two people in a canoe.

ex: last summer 12 of us went on an epic canoe journey, 18 km paddle and 2 portages, the way there took 7 hrs with a tail wind with the canoes cause I stuck with them, the way back, which I had to leave a day early, took me 3hrs with a head wind, I did have 48 less beer with me (which I actually duck taped to my kayak on the way in haha)

bottom line, the most important thing is having a good complete camping system you are familiar with, I always pack my pack the same way, so finding things is easy, same goes with the dry hatches in my kayak. Lightness and compactness is a little more essential when kayaking, but realistically if you have camping gear that fits in a hiking pack keeping sub 30lbs, then it will easily fit into dry hatches and a few added things like a rifle and fishing rod and tackle.

I will admit my friends have a sexy Kevlar canoe that weighs something like 14 lbs, if I was camping with a partner more often I might consider that route, but as far as I'm concerned, kayaks are best for solo

yeah for solo stuff i whole-heartedly agree that kayaks are more efficient. i just rarely am in solo situations on the water. and im super biased, just because i love canoeing in general, its got certain therapeutic qualities to me as I'm sure kayaking does for you

Um ... Yosemite is in California.

kill yourself

I plan on going with around 2-4 freinds. I live in Minnesota so I would want to make the trip count. I'm thinking a loop through Montana, Washington, Oregon Idaho and Wyoming is what I would do.

shit not yosemite i meant yellowstone

Anyone ever do this in the Adirondacks? If so PM me some good spots

Excuse me? Listen you fucktard. All I was doing was correcting an obviously incorrect statement. There was nothing in my post that was disrespectful or rude. Yosemite is in fact in California, is it not? You my friend can go and fuck yourself seven ways to Sunday. I hope your mom under cooks the turkey on Thursday. Dick head.

I just realized that I thought that yosemite was yellowstone so yeah I goofed my bad bra

Yet you tell me to Kill myself..... Ya you "goofed" fucking idiot

* 2 OR 4 friends, two people per canoe, or 3 if you have one kayak.
