Two Canoes, One River - A Temagami Journey, Pt2. 

Joe, I can't thank you enough for making such an entertaining video! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your trip from start to finish, all the hardships, the banter, the laughter, everything. It's been my nightly routine to relax with a cup of tea and watch maybe 15 minutes each night before I go to sleep. I look forward to your next adventure. Keep it up man!

i love how you guys give each other shit all the time

Kyle is so serious in his videos so it's nice that you capture a fun goofy side of him! I love the chemistry the two of you have. Your trips together are my absolute favourite and I watch them over and over. Thanks for another great trip guys!

Really enjoyed both parts, it's the hardships of a trip that you eventually grow to appreciate once the pain fades

I know this is an older video, however one of the reasons you might not be catching fish isnt because of your lures or what not. Its early in the year and colder water like that the fish prefer a super slow presentation. It is nice to slow the retrieval speed down to a snails pace as the fish dont want to be too active yet. They are still lethargic. It has worked wonders for me in Algonquin and northern lakes. Also a slower gear ratio like a 5:3:1 works well for colder waters as well!

Through countless trips I very strongly believe that when in a bad mood, while boiling water for tea go for a quick swim. I've done it in near freezing waters and no matter the conditions it's amazing how much better you will ALWAYS feel after. I do it after every portage that wasn't the best.

Drunk Kyle is awesome!

Very entertaining Joe! Thanks for this mini series :)

great video! the banter between you two is hilarious!! probably my new favorite joe vid

I clicked the like button, I wish I could click it a hundred times! You and Kyle together, are GREAT! You two should do more of this stuff, together! And please, oh please, share it!!!!!! The karma between you two is really very, well..., funny as h@ll! I swear, I laughed so hard every time I heard Kyle's "What?" You two should collaborate a whole lot more! That kind of "on-camera" magic, should not be ignored! (Just Sayin'!") On a more serious side, the video was great!!! Thank you for sharing the adventure!

Now its time to watch Kyle's version of the same trip!!!

use pine resin for an antibiotic... natives have been doing so for millennia.. the clearer the resin and more viscous, they better the essence of pine is present which fries bacteria. not sure if its alkaline or what.. but it works..

Those black flys are a pain. Permethrin clothing and gear spray would have shut those bad boys down from the jump. Spray your cloths down and let them dry and you are good to go. Sawyer is one brand that works on cloths, gear and they make an excellent Picaridin lotion and spray for your skin. You guys bring out the best in each other. Fantastic job, I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work. It will be fun to watch Kyle's version of the same trip.

Antihistamines come in handy when in the woods. But you can usually find some comfrey or burdock leaves you can crush then rub on your bites. Raw onion will take the itch away from a bite too. It helps to have a guide to native healing plants in the area you plan on visiting. And never use hairgel or any other body wash products that make you smell delicious to black flies or mosquitoes.

Brilliant conclusion to your trip, thanks to you JR and Kylemeister for sharing this with us ~Peace~

You two were made for each other - love these canoe trip vids. Great job

FINALLY!!!!!! Gonna toke up and give this a solid watch. Been checking constantly for Part 2 and HERE IT IS!!!

Love it. Your canoe trips are really useful for those of us who have not been. That Magellan comment near the end was classic. Ur a beaut. Great trip, thanks for all the work taking us along.

Hard to understand what kind of individuals would down-vote a video like this. Honest, interesting, well-edited. I enjoyed it.

"Do you want a swig of booze?" 😂😂 That should be your next t-shirt, with Kyle's face under the caption lol

"Come on! Just a swig!" Awesome video man. Great as always.

I've really enjoyed these videos, wouldn't have minded if they were even longer lol

Also you should make an outtakes reel! "Two Canoes, One River - A Temagami Blooper Reel".

Awesome video Joe. In response to the comment about hoping that no one had vandalized your car while you were gone, I recently went camping and when I got back to my car it was about 1:30 am and someone had broken in and stolen everything in it, they also took the time to steal my battery as well. Now I make sure I dont leave anything at all in my car so I can enjoy myself and dont spend my whole trip worrying about my car

Enjoyed both parts of your trip Joe,& Kyle. Always entertaining,& scenic.💯❤️👍🏾😃✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

I was happy to see you got through that bout of illness. You guys are a blast to watch -- I can only imagine the editing task. Nice work for a great presentation of an epic trip.

Loved every minute of those two vids Joe . You sure went thru it with those bug bites. Ouch!! Ouch!! And more Ouches!!!! Hope you took some strong antiseptic creams with you. It's great getting to enjoy the beauty of such places that are way out of my reach to visit. Especially when there're not shown thru rose coloured glasses. Whilst watching I imagine it's somewhere like the north western parts of Scotland only around three or four times larger. Beautiful, stunning, all that the armchair traveler wants from one of their favourite channels. Keep safe Joe and looking forward to you next adventure be it big or small. ATB sue

Honestly one of the best outdoor/bushcraft channels. A down to earth and entertaining channel. Plus there is none of the over used bullshit annoying walk by a random camera in the wild all the other channels have haha Love the videos man. Keep it up

I enjoyed this video way more than I thought. Thanks for posting it.

I love your kyle voice lol , Great vid fantastic scenery and your new boat looks the dogs , Thanks for sharing :)

I love all of you and kyles vidios.been watching for days now.cant get enough..Thanks Joe ......from a guy in merica....lol.love it all man keep it up.

I seriously cant tell you how much I enjoy hearing "what!?" At the end of every night. Bring him on every trip plz. The long camping/kayaking vids are my favorite. Keep up the the good work

love these so much, you and Kyle and great chemistry and banter

Great great great. Tip for the mosquitoes and black flies in your tent: when you get in the tent and zip yourself in, burn a small piece of green mosquito coil for about a minute - the bugs will do the funky chicken at the bottom of your tent and you can dispatch them all and sleep the sleep of the damned! -Dave

Great vid...I love the adventures of Joe and Kyle..

Greetings from Los Angeles. I'm vicariously living my outdoor life through you.

If I start singing old Donovan songs next time I'm paddling, I'm blaming you. Enjoyed watching the trip :)

I love your videos, especially the ones with Kyle lol! Keep up the great work joe. I’ve been watching you for a while and my goal is to watch every single one of your videos. Plowing my way through and loving every minute of it!

My favorite trip you’ve posted. Watched this multiple times

Your adventures with Kyle are downright hilarious! Love watching them.

5 stars! I almost feel like I should ask forgiveness for laughing at your plight but you guys are just priceless. No wonder you have 70k subscribers. That is a brutal route.

Best trip ever!.....Kyle's meltdown was awesome.......Have a swig Kyle....LOL...

As a longtime Crown land camper, I really understand how much rougher and taxing your Temagami trip was compared to an Algonquin trip. Even the less used "deep interior" routes of Algonquin have better maintained portages routes and trails than what one comes to expect in more remote areas, Crown lands, and unmanaged provincial parks. Regarding your reaction to those black fly bites: My wife and I have had similar reactions some years. It seems to happen whenever one has suffered no bites yet that season and one suddenly finds oneself getting many many in a very short period of time. It's as if one's body generates a strong overreaction to that much allergen from the black fly saliva. I expect that now that you've recovered from this, you will not have this sort of reaction again this season. At least, that's been our experience. I'm sorry you had such hard luck fishing. Sounds like what you needed was live bait, which sometimes isn't an option, owing to regulations in a provincial park. I was very curious about your pack canoe and wonder if you'd do a video about it - specs, features, cost, pros & cons, etc. Thanks for sharing this trip with us, warts and all. Cheers, - Martin

Great trip Joe, looks like a good time. The next time you are in "black fly" country and get chewed up like you did this time, cover the bites with Balsam Fir Resin. Balsam Fir Resin has both antiseptic and analgesic properties, and was used by native peoples to both seal cuts, bites and burns and to prevent infection. It's also a great fire starter, and the needles make a very tasty tea.

Great trip you guys loved every minute. That certainly is raw country not to mention those menacing black flies. Looking forward to more superb videos of you two guys!

Glad you captured Kyles small break down...good stuff! For anyone that up to this point just watches videos and is considering backpacking...this is the norm. Expect to have these moments! Have at least one about every time I go out. Good stress reliever.

A little Drink in the morning time is better als den ganzen Tach gar kein!😂 THX Joe and Kyle

Awesome series man! These videos not only fill in the gaps when i can't be out there roughing it but also remind me to try a little harder to get back out again. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for this series Joe, watched all of the gear videos and the actual trip videos. Good times bad times and two drunks lol! Jealous!

"these damn rocks are oil covered." that was funny shit. Enjoyed the video!!

This awesome bushcraft channel ever made and the videos he's makes are brilliant and fantastic and good education and I am glad to support this amazing man and his great bushcraft channel is fantastic 👍👍👍😄😄😄🎶🎶🎶😀😀😀❤️

Kyle falling apart on the rocks was awesome!!

Good times,great trip!!!

Thanks for the video! I bet it's going to feel awesome when you heal from all the bug bites.

Great series, Thanks so much Joe.

Great Video Joe. I've always had good luck fishing the beaver houses. Also try fishing the weed beds..the Pike like to hide in there, you can catch some beauties.

Great adventure you had there. To bad those flies got you so bad. Just so you know, here in Norway we say "melk" :) Thanks a lot for taking us along - Martin

Very awesome videos. Makes me miss our family's annual fishing trips to Ontario. Such beautiful land up there and I don't mind visiting vicariously through your videos. Great job. I was interested the whole time and for a two hour video about a canoe trip, you nailed it. Thank you for doing this video so we can enjoy the trip with you. I'm looking forward to your next one.

Do more videos with Kyle. He's relatable!

Awesome trip. Thanks for sharing !!

Your channel inspires/ encourages me to get outdoors. Thanks for all the prep videos plus the trip. Glad you felt better at the end. Keep it up!

Great trip guys- looked tough but beautiful. Jealous of all these lovely parks to visit. All the best, Tom.

just finished this video series. absolutely loved it joe. hope your all healed up. for what it's worth, I couldn't stop watching these videos. even became a subscriber to kyle channel

what a beautiful part of the planet. really enjoyed watching this one. hope your face has cleared up Joe, as well as your legs etc. thanks for sharing.

the most majestic thing on this trip was kyles drunken dancing for sure lol!

Awesome, AWEsome, AWESOME! That is Freakin' Beautiful Country! Thank You for taking the time to video and all the editing work you put into this entire trip, from planning to in the car going home. Thanks Much!

The Videos were great! I love to watch you guys slowly loose your minds out there! Great stuff! Hope your feeling better Joe!

OMG. I am waiting for this part. thanks joe for the hard work and your dedication.

No short comment can encapsul your trip.To try to would be foolish.Just let me say thanks for bringing me along & glad you got home safely. Brian 76 less 4

"Melk. Did you just say Melk?" "How do you sat About?" LMAO

Great video Joe glad you made it out ok.

Joe, as always your videos rock. The banter between Kyle and yourself is gold. I was laughing quite hard when you kept telling him to take a "swig a booze..... It is noon" hahah. Good shit. Cheers big ears!!!!!

Just a thought about black flies in your tent. Try some bug spray, maybe an organic type. You won't need much and it will kill them dead, though you will need good ventilation to alleviate the smell. You will probably have to research it. Maybe there is something out there that does not smell or is hazardous. In the future wear light weight long sleeve shirts and pants. And also get a better hat with a wide brim for sunny days to prevent sun stroke. Hope this helps in the future.

That's it, you guys have convinced me that I need a pack boat in my inventory, this was an excellent video Joe.

I have a daughter around the same age as Emerald. As I am watching this, I had to pause it in between calls for my work at home job. Each time, Zaida would ask, where's Joes?!?!?!

I don't comment on many videos because I actually watch most youtube on my TV. But I wanted to tell you I watch pretty much every video you do. Been a sub for 3 years I think. Anyway, Watching you struggling & dealing with the bugs & bites & infections & all of it....I'm so jealous. Keep makin' me envious, I love it. Thanks...Dogg

FINALLY! been waiting forever for part 2, thanks Joe!

Joe, Hey buddy this video was an amazing adventure by both of you sorry about all the crazy crap that happen to you but you held your ground and got through it. I just saw two guys having an awesome time together again doing what you guys like doing it seems like some incredible fun, thank you thank you for sharing. Take care and always my best.

Dang, you really have the opportunity to go global with this and stay at the most breathtaking views - do it dude! Next level !

Good stuff, thanks for bringing us along Joe!

Another great video. Keeping it real. I have had many trip where parts of the trip I was not enjoying myself, but always so happy with the trip anyway. The highs make up for the lows, I think you did a great job of capturing that feeling :-)

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge fan Joe! Many, many thanks!

Great video Joe. Most of my early trips were right where you guys paddled. I've done Fat Man's portage 5 or 6 times. Crazy tough short portages for sure. Fast forward 30 years Once we decided one way portages were too hard on our aging bodies we started bringing more real food, guitars, and much, much more booze. We always spend 2 nights at a prime campsite and just fish and explore from there. Next time you go I'd suggest Chiniguchi/ Wolf Lake area. Further drive but easy drive to access a more remote gorgeous old growth part of Temagami. Some spectacular campsites, falls, and Smallmouth and Pike fishing. Fewer and easier portages too. That said, I've been on trips like yours in Temagami when it seemed impossible to catch anything! Another thing, we always go mid August now when the bugs have died down a lot.

glad to see you felt better and made it a good trip

Thank you for filming this awesome trip!

Great trip, great videos ... Pt2 did not disappoint. For me, blackflies are worse than mosquitos, without a doubt. The thing about a blackfly is that it will bite you over and over ... sometimes forming a 'zipper' line of bites in a line (if you don't stop it). At least mosquitos drink their fill once and then are on their way. The only plus for blackflies is that compared to mosquitos, they taste better ;) They are actually kind of sweet tasting (whereas a mosquito doesn't really taste like anything). I know that's a strange statement, but once you have eaten enough of them (as one inevitably does once there are enough of them that they fly into your mouth), you can learn these things ... The real problem is the anti-coagulant in their saliva. Until your body gets used to it, the reaction can be pretty bad. The bites keep oozing, and if you get enough of them, you can get a system-wide reaction ... as you would with any foreign substance that gets injected into your body in a large enough quantity. After enough exposure in a season, most peoples' immune reaction gets less severe ... but that first exposure, especially if it is a big one (lots of bites, fast) can be awful. You probably should add antibiotic ointment to that small first aid kit.

nice trip! reminds a lot of the one i did in Verendrye Québec...same terrain and all...lots of deja vue there! cheers!

39:47 this is my favourite Joe talk lmao! Great Vid, you two are hilarious.

Love this channel so much! My dream is to do something that involves bushcraft in my job and this channel fulfills so much of what I would love to do :))

We pronounce protage much different than you do. Here in Oregon, makes laugh every time you say it.

Joe - if you wake up really early and can't fall back asleep, especially after drinking, it's most likely because you're dehydrated and you have low blood sugar. Mostly the second part, though. If it happens again, eat a couple spoonfuls of peebnut bubber (peanut butter) and/or drink a half glass of O.J. or water. Then go back to sleep and be happy, cozy, warm and seepsy. You win. Also great video. Glad you survived the infection. Wish Kyle would've been the one to have gotten the bites and stuff. Seems like he deserves it. Guy has no idea what he's doing out there. (kidding)

Need more of these fishing videos!

Loved these videos, Joe. Temagami is on my bucket list and your trip only reinforced that. Going to check out Kyle's video and channel now. Thanks so much!

Watching one of the black fly rants right now. You've figured out the wind, cool, and dark secrete of avoiding them. They like humidity so avoid densely wooded areas. Mid day they are at their lowest (apart from night). They are attracted by CO2 emission so they follow your breathing. Camp fires emit excess CO2 do they get confused and can't find you. They nest and breed in fast moving streams. Hence having a ton at the falls. Big lakes will have less around. They are also the spawn of Saran and the most vicious of them can break all the above rules.

Great, epic, journey there guys. Bloody well done. Thanks for sharing this Joe and taking the time to edit it.

Awesome stuff. I really enjoy both yours and Kyle's vids. I love backpacking and wilderness, I don't know what it is, but the deeper the better!

I love your videos with Kyle you guys are hilarious!!! I watch these like reruns 😂😂😂😂

Love to see a piece on how the health experience of this trip will impact your kit. Enjoy your work.

The best thing for a long day out in the woods is an ice cold delicious IPA... I'd give anything to be out in the sticks like you two. But I'm drinking an IPA and you guys aren't. cheers 🍺

4 years later and here I am smokin a bowl unwinding for bed 😎
