This was a nice video... the music wasn't irritating and moved things along in a nice way. These types of videos can tend to be bland or boring, especially for those of us with short attention spans (which there are many).. but you're throwing sparks with this and igniting fires in us! E-scouting IS fun! THANK YOU! Liked & Subscribed
Truly helpful content. I have some decent forestry and ArcGIS mapping software experience and this is still saving me a lot of frustrating trial and error. I can’t imagine what it’s like navigating this stuff for the average user without any guidance or assistance.
Hey thank you for this! Excellent information delivered in a clear and professional manner, I've learned so much. Quick question. What do you do in terms of gasoline? Are there many petrol stations up in northern Ontario? Obviously on the logging roads you mentioned there won't be anything, but can you adventure around there fairly confident that you can plan around gas stations or should I consider bringing extra Jerry cans. Thanks again!
When planing our trips we definitely make sure that there’s a spot to fill up before jumping on the logging roads for an extended amount of time. Thankfully until you get really north (north of Thunder Bay, or towards James bay) there’s going to be plenty of places to fill up and resupply. That being said , it’s never a bad idea to at bring an extra 20L of fuel per vehicle as a reserve for those just in case moments.
Have you had any success scouting the area NE of Huntsville, west of Algonquin? A little closer than starting way up at Sudbury. Cripple Lake looks interesting. Thanks for the video!
Grew up in Orillia and living in Hamilton these days. Trying to figure out where my first adventure with my new truck and truck tent should be. I learned of ihunter from you today. But it doesn't seem to be working for me (database error)
Hi Mike, would love to hear what you know/ think about the “Enhanced management area” I’ve pulled up the policy and it reads camping permitting ? Not really understanding the difference. Do you touch on the use or uses of it on any of you posts ? Thanks ,
My understanding is that Enhanced Management Areas are a land use category that has been established in order to provide more detailed land use direction in areas of special features or values. A wide variety of resource and recreational users can occur in EMAs. In some areas, specific uses may be subject to conditions that are designed to support the values that make the area special. Enhanced Management Areas may lead to modifications (e.g., timing, location, method, access) in resource-management practices in order to recognize other land use values. In the detailed view of each EMA, you can see whether public access to roads, camping, hunting, fishing, and other activities is permitted.
@@thebackroadadventurer Thanks , yes I’ve done that. To make camp do you know if we can clear any brush or trees ? The access road is more then rough with regrowth and we want to go in off an access road.
@@sylviegordon1168 there should be a section in the policy report concerning the maintenance of existing roads. If maintenance is allowed, it’s fine to do some minor maintenance on the roads/trails ie;clearing overgrowth and downed trees. However, Replacing culvert, building bridges or widening the existing road would require a permit from the MNRF. As far as clearing room for a campsite, this is generally frowned upon. If there is an existing campsite you can generally get away with maintaining it and cleaning away overgrowth but when people start cutting down live trees…it gives the MNRF grounds to reevaluate how the land should be used and possibly lead to closures.
Good information but I gotta say if people are camping up in crown land or maybe living there, don’t be calling the government and disturbing them. 21 days is bullshit, the government doesn’t own the earth. So if they aren’t hurting anyone leave them be. The reason we go off into the woods is to be alone in peace. Don’t ruin someone else’s peace, you don’t know what they are going through. Clean up after yourself, be respectful to the land and mind your own business. Have fun and stay safe everyone.
