What kind of pack is your big red one?

Hi Alec love your videos. I am looking to start dehydrating my tripping food would you recommend and specific dehydrator?

Amazing

I really am glad I got to experience canoeing the lakes here for a whole week camping out and portaging when I was 15. Thank you Mr. Hill for planning a unforgettable trip and leading us the entire way in your 70's! Rest in Peace Mr. Hill you will never be forgotten and always missed

Now stay there at night time.

Where do you get these maps?

Beautiful dog, love how well you treat her. A plus for you!

Great video! You Two are a great team . Never take for granted these blessings . I would give anything to have one more river trip with my wife of 30 years .

I've recently found your channel, and watched several winter camping videos. I have never done this type of camping. I love how you show the details of how things are done for traveling and camping.

Hey Alec, What lake were you on to catch all those BT? Im taking my father into the park this year and would love to go where you went. Thanks!

Beautiful brookie. That's a good size for Algonquin.

About to do my own trip up at st.regis

Great vid man! Going there in a couple days, was wondering if you could answer these questions. How deep were you fishing^ (also how were you fishing) for example trolling, casting, ect. What setup of lures were you using? Thanks!

I’m interested in doing this with my dog any tips and safety tips and what does tether mean

Very nice going. That lake was loaded with fish.

It looks like a great trip. Winter snow camping is a great way to get away from the crowds. Here in Central Oregon we get deep snow and snowshoes or nordic skis are essential for snow travel

Great video. I have been researching paddling trips for 2025 and it is on my short list. This fall we will paddle in the BWCA.

Thanks for sharing the trip video! I love that entire trail, have visited it several times the past few years. Even being on the east side of the park, where there's a lot less traffic overall, it's a very popular summer area. Getting out in the shoulder seasons is definitely the way to go if you like it to be more quiet and peaceful. It is also a really wonderful winter snowshoe hike, either via the Cheater Trail if it's a day trip or Eastern Pines through Achray - though it's a 5km trek in because the road to the campground is not winter maintained. But if you're gonna do a winter overnight visit then you'll almost always have the place entirely to yourself. Glad pup recovered quickly, too.

Poor Lucy, glad she recovered quickly. She is a such beautiful gal! The trail seemed excellent and quite nice for a trot with heavy packs. Thanks for sharing and I hope people reading this will keep their recreational substance leftovers in their waste bags and pack them out so pets or wildlife don't snack on them.

to me it appeared as though the people before you built a small fire for you leaving a little crumpled paper in there as kindling so the next ungrateful person would have an almost instant fire, to start it was biodegradable paper not cans, used tampons or a diaper, it was burnable compost set up like a ready made fire, i wuld be more concerned bout the grate that was in there because that doesn't belong, but i bet you used it an i bet you weren't conscious enough to take it with you as a public service now did you? why do seemingly such nice people throw these nasty karen slogans in with their videos?

We really enjoyed coming along with you on this one. Sorry about Lucy being sick. We’ve had this situation with Emma before. We weren’t on a trip thank goodness.. we were walking her along the beach and she picked something up around an area where a group had been having a fire previously. Whatever she picked up, she ate it before we could get to her. We didn’t think much of it (she was a puppy and ate everyyyyything.. still does 😅) but soon afterwards she was completely wobbly and had trouble walking. She would sway while sitting and staring into space. If you nudged her she would sway and fall over. We took her to an emergency clink after hours on a Sunday - of course. After spending many hours in the clinic in the middle of the night we were told it was marijuana. Could have been a discarded roach or an edible. She was able to sleep it off and was fine by morning, maybe because she was home she slept better than Lucy that night. I imagine if this spot is wild with visitors most of the summer then it could have been someone’s discarded leftover drugs 👎

This looks and sounds beautiful my friend, outstanding presentation! Shots are great 👏👏

Strange winter this year for sure. Nice to live close enough to get in a weekend trip with the park to yourself 😊

My gut feeling is that a roach doesn't have enough thc to have much effect on a dog of that size but maybe it just made her sleepy. Definitely could've been a mushroom or a toad or a decomposing rodent carcass. Are you using Nexgard Spectra? I ask because she could pick up tapeworms if she ate a rodent carcass, and Spectra works on everything including fleas, ticks, heartworm (from mosquitoes), and tapeworm (from rodent carcasses).

Great advance exercise for portaging .

0405!! Lucy could be thinking, how come Mom stopped scratching my shoulder spot?

Getting very excited for ice-out in the park! Fingers crossed for the fishing this year!

Dude, that brook trout at 14:22 was bleeding like a siv, due to those dreaded treble hook lures. Too bad people don't utilize split rings and swap out for a single hook. That beautiful brookie most likely died.

Expired coffee is still good coffee! Our Nescafé instant is way expired also as we go back forth from brewing to instant weekly. Nothing goes to waste in our household!

Glad Lucy is feeling better. Must be scary when your dog isn't feeling well out in the park. Glad it turned out okay

Very rare to get a chance to see high falls with no people, in the summer that place can be packed. One of the benefits of getting out at this time.

I would guess that it’s much more like that Lucy ate a mushroom that affected her. At this time of year, the odds of her coming across a joint/roach that was still potent enough to affect her that much is minimal. I could be wrong though. It happened once before 😎 Pro tip: always carry a binder clip or two incase the zip closure on your meal bag fails to work for whatever reason 😊 I keep one on the visor of my cap and one or two in my cook kit. They’re very handy to have around.

Here in Southeast Texas we do not have wolves, yet, but plenty of coyotes. We had Brittney hunting dogs. When the coyotes yipped and howled in the late evening, they became quiet and very unsettled. Then into their kennels. Not sure how they slept. The "call of the wild", not necessarily what our oh so domesticated canines want to hear at bed time. Nice film.

Zelite great for insulation in their burrows! Buy a tent!!

NO FIRE WTF dude lol

What about bears, or cougars, etc. Do you bring bear spray? How do you protect yourself? Does bear spray work on wolves?

Back in my day there was no GOPRO to record a trip like this, you just brought your 35mm camera. And while watching your video it brought back memories of the days when i did canoe trips. And i did a lot of them in the Algoma Area. And i was glad to see on one of your portages you did have a spare paddle :) Thanks for the post of Ranger Lake Canoe trip. It was a pleasure to watch!

I done trips by myself and I love it but I hate it. Better with someone!!

I bet Lucy is getting strong! She grew big.

Beauty of a day to be out and about in the woods! ☀️ 🌲

Alex,you& Lucy are a nice Duo!!Great video sir

Hello Alec and Lucy, a really relaxing outing by the two of you, thank you. In a more typical year with plenty of snow, would you expect that crown land to be more boggy than how you found it? Cheers, Paul

man that looks fun as hell. did you guys portage very far?

Nahanni National Park isn't called the headless valley for no reason.

Brook trout opener? Like Jan 1st?

Fantastic adventure you two! What could be better than camping, good food and some R&R! Thanks for sharing. :) :)

probably had to change your underwear after the wolf howls came close

Where do you get your equipment. Stove /thermostat ,,complete gear usage?? Northern NYS..

Literally on vacation from Ontario, and you'll still bitch about something in the west

I couldn’t imagine. I have the opportunity to go mid June this year ( I always go in September), and this video is the reason I may stay home.
