Two Canoes, One River - A Temagami Journey. Pt1 

Anybody else read this comment in Chris' voice 😆

MWAHAHAHA

lol

hahaha fantastic

😂😂😂😂😂

Apply cream to area of burn

Joe Robinet

Yea keep hydrated. Joe's big problem is not wearing a long sleeve shirt and wide brim hat. In particular the wide brim hat or hat with neck flap is super important. Keeping the sun off your neck all day keeps heat stroke away. I usually take a wide brim fishing hat or if wearing a cap I use my Buff as a neck flap under it.

I think everyone would die from alcohol poisoning

I'd be in a deep Coma in the tent.

I have 3 bottles of wine, starting at 50:29 ill let you know how drunk I am after part two

he says portage way too much, but every time he says fishies, lakers, brookies or complains about bugs or black flies, thats almost doable

Jaro, those extendable Rods can be a little shaky at the best of times. You can buy 4 piece packable rods in a tube, but in reality, any rod can break on you. A spare rod is always a good thing if you are going to be gone for a length of time. But I agree, Joe does a great job of teaching and can inspire anyone to learn more.

I'm older now, so my extendable rod is a little shaky at the best of time too. :) But, the best of times doesn't come around too often now, so....

@@terryashton9213 Yea my friend has a 4 piece and I have an extendable. His 4 piece is a better rod but the extendable is more convenient.

Bro please do. Some of my favourite memories with my dad are fishing and camping.

hahaha!, you know whats up!

Wintertrekker. I 100% agree with you. This more Northern park is a whole new game. The portages are next level. It was really hot. Water management played a big part in us feeling like crap or not.

Burley Outdoors Thanks Kyle! Can't wait to see your video footage of same trip. Yep winter or summer, I have come to the conclusion that tripping health and staying sharp all day has alot to do with hydration. Consuming 4-5 liters per day is normal in that heat and humidity and hard work portaging. I like drinking from my 1L Nalgene with its graduations, because I can monitor what I have been consuming, and my cup in camp is 250 ml, so I keep mental notes all day on volume consumed.

I should have my video up in the next couple of days. I hear you with the water. If there is one thing I learned from this trip is that with enough water, snickers, peanut M&Ms, and Rum the human body can do about anything.

I guess I should qualify some remarks I made, Joe, in an earlier comment. I can see how, when tripping solo, double or triple carries would be normal ... because a solo tripper has too much stuff to make it over in one go. And would heartily agree that Wintertrekker should be seen as an authority on that point; he has the experience and has very generously shared some it with us via his videos (of which, I too, am a huge fan!). In larger groups, though, this is less true ... you can use what amount to 'economies of scale' to have less stuff in total: Two people can share a canoe, a tent, a stove, etc. And this gets better the bigger the group is. Even the food does this a bit if your share meals, because even if the volume of the food per person remains the same, you carry less packaging for it. Of course, length of trip is a factor: Once you get the gear worked out (and if it remains the same for multi-day trips of various durations) the thing that keeps getting bigger and heavier is the food. So, what I should have written last time is that if two people share a canoe, and share other things too (like a tent and a stove, and meals and tools etc.) then you should be able to usually single carry on trips that are not too long (I dunno, less than two weeks? ). Because you have one canoe between the two of you, and can conceivably fit everything in one smaller bag that the canoe carrier also carries, and one large (huge) bag for the other person. And this works and gets easier on multi-canoe trips (which, admittedly, is most of my experience). The principle that I have always applied is that each canoe should ideally be self-sufficient on a portage (that the people in it can carry it and the stuff in it in one go). But if you are solo (and effectively, you and Kyle are solo, or sort of double solo ... since you are each carrying almost everything to each be self-sufficient, with a few exceptions), I can see how this wouldn't work. When I wrote that earlier comment, I was guessing that you and Kyle would be sharing a traditional canoe in the future, not going with the two pack boats. And I will also admit that I have never had the additional burden of the camera gear, which I definitely recognize is a burden ... in some of the way you have described. I remember some of the portages you showed in this video taking 100% of my concentration and effort just to get through in one piece. The idea of doing that and also shooting attractive footage of it at the same time strikes me as amazingly hard, and I am not sure that most viewers have any idea how hard. I am so grateful to all of you who take the trouble to do that so you can share these experiences with the rest of us. On the edge of my seat, waiting for Pt2 ...

+Kyle Hale yeah it was brutal!
