CLASSIC ALGONQUIN CANOE TRIP - DAY 5 - BIG PORTAGE! (4K) 

Chris Prouse always happy to support your vids! I love them, I think I have my wife convinced to do an Algonquin trip next summer because of your videos.

Pat Myott So glad to hear Pat! Highly recommend a trip in early May (before the bugs hit in Algonquin), or from mid-August onwards when the bugs are gone and swimming's great :)

Chris Prouse keep up the awesome vlogs ladies, we love seeing Algonquin when we're not there! 😀

Thanks for watching! Hope all's well, and travel safely! :)

Thanks for watching! :)

oh and I am coining a new term GOL...."Groan Out Loud".....in reference to the "stumped" pun.

We've got some epic skiing-related content coming up in a few weeks, though with an interesting spin! :)

Chris Prouse We are planning (& dreaming) of a trip to Algonquin in the Spring. I’ve told my canoe buddies to watch your channel to learn about what to expect.

Thank you! :)

Thanks Marty! More fun stuff coming soon :)

Thanks Harold! :)

Thanks Allan! :)

Merry Christmas Jim! :)

Wow! That's so cool - I remember seeing you guys too! Glad to hear you found our channel and enjoyed the videos. Hope you had a great trip, and thanks for watching! :)

Yeah, pretty ironic that we saw you two there, and then I stumbled onto your video - life is always surprising. Had a great trip though, getting ready to plan our next one soon enough!! Cheers

Thanks so much Ken!! That's very generous of you, and it means a lot to us! We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too! :)

Thanks so much for watching Simon! That's one of my favourite parts too! We'll be back filming more trips in Algonquin Park this year :)

Thank you! Yikes - you're brave for camping there in June! This trip was towards the end of September, so we only saw a few bugs. We also like to camp there early May :)

Haha, thanks Joe! :)

Thanks Mike! Agree with you on keeping the centre of gravity low, though all the heavy stuff's already at the bottom of the barrel, and the other heavier pack lays flat in the bottom of the canoe, so it's offset quite a bit. We frequently open the food barrel on the water, so it's just more convenient, and I come from a competitive rowing background where the racing shells are far more tippy :)

Thank you! I believe this trip was at the end of August - hope you have a great trip! :)

Thanks Devan! Glad to hear! :)

That's so cool Shane! Please tell your daughter that Julia and I say hi! We actually went for a weekend trip in the Adirondacks near the end of October - we had a great time and did a little hiking / paddling around Lake Placid, though we stayed at a B&B, so we didn't get the full camping experience. The White Pines and mountainous terrain made it feel like a mix between Algonquin Park and the Mont Tremblant area to us, which was great :)

Thanks for the reply. i also want to thank the both of you for being great roll models, i like showing my daughter videos of women and girls who counter some of the not so good roll models featured in mass media. We look forward to future videos.

Cool! It's a good one! :)

Thanks Mac! :)

No thank you, I never knew of Algonquin til I saw your channel!

Thanks Mike! :)

Thanks for watching Brayden! We're currently trying to line up some winter camping :)

Thanks Steve! Glad to hear - for interior camping in the south end of the park, Phipps Lake and Lake Louisa are our favs... Big Trout and Lake La Muir are our favourite towards the centre... and I have a soft spot for Tom Thomson Lake if you only want to do a day's worth of trekking into the park. Friends of ours really enjoy car camping at the Lake of Two Rivers campground, and I've heard good things about the Algonquin Park Visitors Centre. For a day trip, lunch and an afternoon canoe or kayak paddle rental at Canoe Lake would be a nice family outing too. Also, I've heard there are some great lookouts on a few of the trails along the highway that I have yet to check out :)

Thank you very much Chris. I will take these into account and research them. From your videos it does not appear that there's a bad spot in the place. Thanks again

Thanks Temur! I usually go through all the content and put together a string-out in the editing timeline of all the usable / preferred content I'd like to consider, to get a better sense of what's possible. Then I go looking for music that suits the direction / vibe I'd like to take the video in, and then edit in tune with the music's energy :)

Chris Prouse love the strategy! I've been kind of following the same technique, but have way had time with music. Editing is no easy task 😔

Just keep trying! The hardest part for me is knowing that I have a beautiful 10, 15, 20 second shot that I'd love to show more of, and required a lot of effort to capture... but the energy / pacing in the music needs to move onto the next shot after only 1 or 2 seconds! It's really tough cutting those shots short, but I've learned to pay more attention to edit's overall pacing and energy :)

Thanks for reminding us! I think we'll apply for one soon! :)

Thanks Charles! It's a personal safety decision that I really can't make for someone else, just because there are so many variables to consider. We canoe tripped in the park for several years without one, or much incident... but we have one now and it does provide some nice piece of mind. If price is a concern, there are options like the McMurdo Fastfind PLB (the one we carry) that have good reviews and don't require a service plan... though it doesn't support two-way communications during non-emergencies to stay in touch with friends and family like some of the more expensive options do with plans. There are also some cheaper options out there that use different types of comm satellite networks on plans (with terrible reviews)... so if you do decide to get something, I'd recommend starting with at least the Fastfind. Keep in mind, you'll likely want to take a little time before the trip to register a beacon with Search & Rescue, just so they know who they're looking for and any pertinent medical details. Hope this helps! :)

That's good - you're out there, which is what really counts! Each time you do it, you get a little bit faster :)

Haha, definitely character building (and sweaty, lol :)

Thank you! :)

Cool! Would love to hike it! Gotta make it out West again sometime :)
