An Englishman In New York, Upstate New York Deep in the Adirondack Mountains, Making Friends in the Adirondack Wilderness. A Film by Adirondack Badger and GGTBod
- 4 years ago
I travelled 6000km to re visit the North American Adirondack wilderness by canoe, it was a place I visited as a boy some 25 years earlier, it is bear country and i don't have a gun as i am just on a tourist visa.
Some of the friends i made online during the planning of the trip asked if they could come and meet me, i said "As long as you've got your own canoe, i'll paddle back to the landing point where i originally started my adventure and take you all back to my campsite by canoe" amazingly 9 Americans who were strangers to each other too had turned up to meet me when i paddled back out of the wilderness to meet whoever turned up.
A canoe camping adventure where total strangers meet for the first time in the heart of the Adirondacks 5 Ponds Wilderness where the only way in and out is by canoe.
This was the first time any of us had met outside of the internet, two of us had shot video and this is that story. The Adirondacks is a special place and i am not the only one who thinks so, this movie is a collaboration between myself and Patrick Mastromarchi (Adirondack Badger), we both shot, edited and produced it and share equal rights to it.
