I just messaged them I'm hoping I can do some volunteer work! As a forestry worker I clear overgrowth for a living so I'd love to work on some portage trails.
Problem with burning socks is that they nearly always have plastics or elastics of some type - but how gross that they were left in such a beautiful place...
It was great to see another view of Temagami through your lens and the beautiful solitude there. I love the droan shots. Thanks for all the hard work filming this and taking us along to see more of this amazing park. Really appreciate this backcountry especially while currently stuck in the urban landscape of southeast Michigan.
What an incredible way to pass an hour, watching this - wow. Thank you so much for posting this on youtube so others can benefit from your labor of love. Your dedication and appreciation for where you're at and what you're able to do is evident in your film making skills and storytelling abilities. The views and subs should be at least a million times what they are, wth. Keep on keeping on, you rock!
Absolutely love the big bag of spaghetti! What a wonderful trip. Temagami is on my very long bucket list. :) The water in some areas is brownish from tannin in the water. It is produced from run off that is draining into the water from decaying vegetation or peaty soil. :) I am in Nova Scotia and we have a lot of rivers and lakes that contain tannin. Gratefulness for wild places, it is nice to know there are others that feel that way. :) Nothing like an after trip poutine, yum! Thanks for sharing your adventure. :) :)
I enjoyed your video until you started talking about mining. Mining started in that area over 120 years ago during the building of the railway when Fred La Rose threw his hammer at a fox and missed exposing silver at the town of Cobalt. Northern Ontario has thrived on mining ever since.
You make mining sound so noble, but it isn't so black and white. The industry has done good for the economy and done lasting harm to the land which cannot be ignored. The value of minerals must be weighed against the value of fish and game, recreation, and environmental productivity over thousands of years.
I'm aware that mining has a long history in Northern Ontario and has been a valuable source of income for many people but it's environmental impact cannot be denied. I'm not saying there should be no mining done ever, but I'm very grateful that truly special areas like Wolf Lake and the surrounding Temagami country have had people willing to stand up to those forces of industry and demand they be protected.
