The Winds of October - Killarney Solo Canoe Trip - 4K
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- A chilly October 5 day solo canoeing and hiking adventure in Killarney.
I get a little bit of everything in this one, including the first snow of the season and some wicked winds that almost catch me out while crossing David Lake.
I hike up Silver Peak and take in the amazing 360 view from the top. The La Cloche Range is about 2.3 million years old and these peaks used to be higher than the Rocky Mountains!
Today, Silver Peak is about 550m high, similar to the CN Tower in TO.
I also try out a new shelter / full coverage tent for my hammock... The Onetigris Rockdomus.

How do you not have more subs... some of the best camping content on TH-cam.
Agreed
I just recently found this channel and I’m sticking around 👍🏻
THanks! I could probably have more subs I suppose but I just don't post that often and rarely do all those things you're supposed to do to get more subs 😄. I'm pretty busy with everything else in life and I like to take time with the edits etc. It's ok though, I like it when folks hear about it from other people and then come back if they like it. Thanks again for watching.
Thank you.@@thepriest98
Thank you!@@alanbierhoff6831
Thanks for bringing us along!
np thanks!
Another beautifully filmed and documented trip. Those were some scary wind gusts! Handled with skill 👍
Thanks buddy! I love watching your vids... great pace, lots of attention to the shots and they always feel like a trip when I watch
Beautiful cinematography, scenery, and fun running commentary! That weather was something, more like mid-late November than October! 🙂 I learned something too: keep your camera and lens close at hand when you're handling your other lens.
Thank you very much!
Another great one, appreciate the effort you put in and keep it up Mr Irwin.
Thanks Mike!
Perfect motivation for next month 👍
THanks Scott!
Love the rain fly
Mr Tumblehome has created another hour of magic for us - thanks for the gift that will keep giving and giving in re-watches over the years ahead - really... thanks man.
NP at all. Happy that you enjoy the little films!
OMG, this is exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much, Jason.
A year in the making, but it was well worth the wait.😍.
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Wow, you look like that dude on the Ricola commercial with those longjohns and shorts. Lol.😊 when you were on top of silver peak.
haha... I should have done a "Ricola" call into the wind up there
Another beautiful video. We always like the way you put your films together. Perfect way to start a Sunday morning - Keenan and Ashley. 🛶
Thanks guys, I feel the same about your vids
I was just getting twitchy about a new video and like magic, here we are! Thank you for another excellent video!
Thats the tumble twitch! thanks for watching
It's always a joy watching your films, Jason. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for sticking around :-)... working on the next one right now.
its lovely to watch an old hippy photographer like myself make a fool of himself willingly,such a hoot dude.
I have always enjoyed your videos and videography. You have the perfect voice for narration. Solo trips are the best.
thank you!
Good to see you back, quality over quantity,
👌
Love your videos Justin and always worth the wait!! THX CHEERS !!!
Sorry Jason😢
all good... Justin is my sons name... and my folks were really close to naming me Justin. :-)
Lol my sons name is Justin hahahah!!!
ha! perfect@@ianlindsey3616
Amazing video, mate, you sure deserve much more likes! Cheers from Argentina!
Just enjoyed my Saturday morning after a long ass week with a coffee and your new video. Fantastic stuff as usual. Love the attention to detail and time you take to create an amazing atmosphere. See you on the next one Jason. 👍
Thanks Adam! Glad you're still with me. I really liked your last vid with Josh, hope to see more soon (although who am I to rush people .. haha)
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome absolutely. I have 2 vids in the queue. Should be released in November. Taking my sweet a$$ time as usual lol. Let me know if you want to try that hammock setup in the winter! Thing looks awesome! Talk soon bud.
Another awesome video and trip! Well done!! Makes me want to go back to Killarney this fall.
Wonderful therapy! Thanks Jason.
:-). Love to hear that!
Best line ever “…with the wrong lens in my hand !!!” 😂 As we sit here all beat up from our APP Louisa canoe trip, coffee in hand, again you provide the best backcountry storytelling videos. Thanks again for bringing us along on your adventures. 👍🏼🥰 🛶 🏕️
Thank you! Thanks for watching.
The family and I just had our first Killarney experience. Hiked to Grace Lake from Charlton, and it just hit me, "i need to see more of this park"
Thanks again Jason for taking us along on another adventure. Been faithfully watching from the Redemption Trout.
Awesome! Thanks for sticking around :-)
Amazing. Did the la cloche trail and loves every km of it! Beautiful place
Your vids are always a visual feast... thank you!
Glad you like them!
There is a tap up there near the top. they installed it in 1936. it feeds all the lakes of Killarney. if it wasn't running there would just be big dry holes instead of lakes.
I need new boots too. I just finished a 10 day in there and lost my big toenail on day 2 for the second time in 2 years. the other was while doing my first winter camp. I hate hiking boots.
crafty way to start a fire! good thinking.
What? I have never heard that before... must be one hell of a tap. Is it like a redirected spring or something?
Always the best, great trip Tumblehome! Nice to see lots of birds, grouse especially. At our camp the grouse have been missing in action , lots of fishers, foxes and coyotes, they have them all cleaned up. Till next time! Thank you for sharing, Bob , 😊👌🏕️🏕️
Thanks! I noticed a lot of fishers and Martins when I was in Algonquin this past september... couple of foxes on the drive up as well.
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome seems to be a higher population trend, as it ebbs and flows . 😊👌
Thanks for sharing, im always happy to see a new Tumblehome video is out
THanks for checking it out! Glad you enjoyed it.
A beautiful trip, Thanks,
Glad you enjoyed it
My wife and I were in the northeast part of Algonquin around the same time..we had lots of rain and lots of fun times.
You stayed on my favourite site on David! I have done “The Boys” loop a few times in early spring (David, Peter, Harry) and that’s been my first night site each time. As always, a beautifully composed and inspiring video Jason. Thanks for helping to keep me sane during the cold winter months.
Thanks for watching! Yeah thats a nice big comfy site.
Whatttttt awesome sauce!
My man!!! Im gonna have to go see silver peak myself now… ;) that looked awesome! And yeah I felt the same way about into the wild. I’ve always loved the story personally and after watching the documentary it does explain a few things! But to this day the final quote of the movie/book is still one of my favorite: « happiness is only found when shared » Cheers brother!
THanks Marty!
Thank you ! I’ve been waiting patiently for this …..
workin on another one! thanks for watching
Great video Jason, well filmed, well edited, and pleasant to watch as always! I love the quick timelapse shots with the ambient music, it keeps things moving and interesting. I felt the fear on your windy return paddle from the hike. Winds like that on open lakes can be utterly terrifying! Thanks so much for the work you put into all your videos...cheers friend!
Pete
THanks Pete! Really happy that peeps are still watching. The wind... yeah I should not have got caught out like that... should have known better and stuck 10 ft off shore / took more time. It got a little hairy there for a bit.
My sister's and I have watched all your videos. Tonight I got the text from one saying, "A New Tumblehome!!!!!"
So, we all watched together, separately, in our own homes. Always beautiful, love the dry humor, the time-lapse, the stills, the sounds, and the passion. I've always wondered if you're a graphic designer by trade; I was all my working life (very old now, not much time left). You just strike me as such ....you're probably a school administrator.....no way
He he... I do creative editing mostly for CBC... promos and social stuff. I dabble in photoshop and AfterEffects but dont dig too deep. I'm glad you are enjoying the vids! thanks for watching
I'm glad to see you back been looking forward to a new video.
thank you!
Such a great video. Keep doing these videos, I only get one canoe trip a year but this makes me feel like i've been along with you. Amazing. Thank you. You really do have the best backcountry videos on youtube. cheers
Thanks, will do!
Fantastic journey, thanks for sharing as another canoe season comes to a close.
Glad you enjoyed it
Your video of canoe strokes is excellent. Nice videography as well.
Thank you very much!
I really enjoyed this one. Very well shot and edited. Isn’t it nice to have all day to explore and film? Watching you get blown around on David was tough to watch, but you handled it expertly. I was just at The Peak last weekend. What a glorious place. Cheers!
thanks!... yes its nice to be able to just travel and document as I go. Killarney never gets old!
Beautifully curated as always. Love your work. Thanks for sharing…
No problem, thanks for watching!
What a great video.
Thanks. thank you for watching!
Oh man, I needed this. Thanks.
np thanks for watching!
Awesome video. Who doesn’t hate it when they have the wrong lens in hand? 😂
OMG…..I will have to comment twice as I am so excited to watch this but will wait till tonight so I will have No interruptions! Thanks Jason 🥳🇨🇦❤️
Hope you enjoy it!
I had to make my second comment…..your personality and talent are what makes for great content….I guess I am just selfish for wanting to see more from your channel!
Thanks for letting us come along with you in our beautiful North.! We are so blessed. I think my favourite part was you wielding your knife LOL Cheers 🇨🇦
Thanks for the kind words! Of course, I think I'm a dork, so its nice to hear that you find me tolerable :-)@@Crap873
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome
A not a chance !! Love your sarcastic humour!
Very Nice. Great story telling. Inspiring me to go do a solo trip.
Go for it!
Your 'choffee' is what I call a 'mocha grande', just a hot chocolate packet in your mug and pour in the coffee. "Frustation, with the elevation, I need a libation". You're almost as good a poet as you are a photographer. Fall is my favorite time of year and you captured it perfectly, beautifully. I busted out laughing at 'You're such a cairn". Good to see the Toasty Arme 3000 is still on duty. Thanks for sharing. it's mystical the way you present your trips.
Thanks man. Thanks for all the nice words. The camera is the only companion for me out there so I'm always talking nonsense... you should see all the crap I cut out!
What a beautiful adventure you had! The views from atop the mountain were gorgeous 👍 That wind on the lake was crazy, nature it seems, can be quite humbling at times. HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER! That Owl was LOUD!🤣
Da Plane! Da Plane!
Now that’s a nice trick you use with starting the fire, suspending the kindling on those twigs, I’ll have to remember that.
Thanks for bringing us along, cheers 🍻
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah that wind was a humbler!... prob should have stuck closer to shore and then I could have waited it out a bit.
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome
Watching how you paddled in that wind taught me some knew techniques like, how not to get blown over by the wind 🤣
@@UncleDan58 🤣
Glad I stumbled across your videos. Enjoyed your sense of humour and you have a great camera presence. Those winds were a bit crazy, good you made it back safely. Thanks for sharing your trip. :) :)
Thank you!
I was headed to Killarney this past week but had to cancel due to covid. I really enjoyed watching this and hope I can get out there next year. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah it's still kickin around... neighbour had it recently. Hope you're feeling better and back at it soon!
Your unique style is always impressive, well done on another great film.
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful as always. Your content is our favourite canoeing adventures to watch. Best line: "Don't be such a cairn"
thanks! It was a cheesy line but I had to say it.
Oh my goodness! Where do i begin! First things first i subbed right away. I really like your style there sir. I also enjoy watching you guys north of us control a canoe like you guys do. It’s an art form and you guys exhibit it well! I’m a kayaker personally. Set up and geared up for pretty much anything salt and fresh. Quiet water only for me. Im 52. I’m trying to preserve myself for future adventures.
I love your dialogue, your style, that cool ass hammock shelter and all the wildlife you were able to capture.
This is a really cool channel and your a cool dude! Thank you for putting this out there for us to enjoy. Thank you for your hard-work in capturing this beautiful place.
Take care
NQU
Awesome! Glad you're on the tumble train :-). Thanks for watching.
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome 👍🏼😁
Great Stuff! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for bringing the beauty of Killarney into our homes!
:-) ... It's hard to take a bad picture in that place!
Once again, I am in awe of your photography and videography skills. We completed close to that same trip in 2011, just a beautiful area with the coloured foliage. Thank you Jason 😊
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it. It's always neat to watch trip vids of areas you've been to.
Fantastic job again Jason. Your production and cinematography are exemplary and always worth the wait. I love your approach to trips and how you really immerse yourself in your locale, taking the time to explore instead of just getting the miles in. Well done sir 🫡
Much appreciated!
Thank you, Jason, for sharing your solo paddle with us. I always look forward to your videos.
No problem... happy that folks are still watching :)
Well done sir
Thanks!
So beautiful, love your editing style and humour, just stunning imagery man, well done!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
You got it bud! Itching so bad to get back to your beautiful country !!@@JasonIrwinTumblehome
Excellent video. Very enjoyable 😊
When you go to sleep, spread your puffy jacket out in your underquilt for extra insulation if needed.
Ah good idea! I sometimes wrap my feet/ end of sleeping bag in the jacket but it gets compressed by the weight... wouldn't happen in the quilt though 👍
Glad to see the ol' Toasty Arse 3000 is still holding strong. I have yet to receive the one I pre-ordered back in 2013. Maybe 2024 will be the year! 🎉😂 Happy New Year, my friend. Cheers to another great year!
Haha... limited run.
Gran trabajo en tus videos Enhorabuena my friend Saludos
🍻
Welcome back Jason , another great one as usual , thank you .......
thanks!
I did this same trip in 1986. Thanks for the memories. Silver Peak is spectacular!
NP thanks for watching!
Pleasant surprise finding a new Tumblehome vid up! Really enjoyed this one, thanks for sharing Jason.
Thank you!
Once more, another awesome tumble escapade..👍
Thanks!
I make cowboy coffee with dark chocolate melted in, it started in the bush but followed me home. That's what I'm drinking now! What a perfect time of year. One of my favorite trips was during an oddly warm November, we broke through the first ice of the season and took advantage of melting temps to squeeze a few more days out of canoe season.
oh dark chocolate would be even better! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for documenting your trips, Jason. So well filmed, narrated, and produced. Can I ask what those square things are on the shoreline at 33:45 - camp solar?
thank you, those are some solar panels connected to a cottage (lodge?) on that island
Just needed some quiet, lovely canoeing. Decided the fire in the wood stove need more wood so out the door........ Halloween moose maybe 20 feet away. I think we were both annoyed. She finally walked off and I got the firewood. Now back the floating in a canoe.
A lot of awesome footage. Thanks for another great video. I really like that sunrise that was incredible. And that looked like a very tough canoe ride across that lake too.😮
yeah its hard to get a bad shot in Killarney! The wind was pretty dicey there for a bit... should have hugged the shore tighter and took more time / maybe waited ? Lesson learned. ☺
Jason, I was impressed with your trip back across the lake in high winds. I also have a Keewaydin 15 but I have the pack boat version. If you can borrow one and try it in windy conditions I’d recommend that. It is far more stable and your profile in the wind is much lower . I hated giving up my canoe paddle for a kayak paddle but it does seem more efficient on open waters even in light winds. You videos are astounding artwork and I am thrilled each time one comes out. Keep paddling and sharing it with us!
THanks so much! I have the seat that lowers, the removable seat back and the foot bar.. just need to get a longer double blade. I would like to do a bit more double blade stuff but I'm just so enamoured with the classic single :-)
What a great video. That was excellent. Late season trips always feel different. The lack of people and solitude are definitely welcome.
Absolutely!!... I did a short trip in Aug with my son and couldn't get over how busy it was (APP)
So I like all your videos, but I believe this is my favorite! Fantastic adventure! The world needs more Tumblehome Videos!!
Thanks buddy! Thanks for watching and I'm still catching up on your vids too!
There's nothing like Northern Ontario in autumn. I was at Booth that time of year in 2022, and that 550m portage was absolutely stunning (was also the only car in the parking lot). Thanks for sharing Jason, and for inspiring trips of my own.
Booth is a pretty lake for sure... some good fishing around there too. Glad to hear the vids are inspiring... thats the goal really.
Class, pure class, thank you.
Awesome video Jason!! Thank you for sharing. Can’t wait to see your next adventure!
Thanks!
I did this trip with my kids in July - we camped on site 186 - hiked Silver Peak when it was hot and sunny and covered with blueberries. David Lake was insanely wavy coming in from Bell but behaved the rest of the trip ! Great video ! I enjoyed seeing this area in the beautiful autumn.
Awesome! Thats a pretty tough hike, great to hear that the kids are doing it!
Spectacular fall views buddy. That wind though. Killarney is a special destination. Silver peaks is not an easy hike, we've done it 3 times to date. Bad knees (husband) keeps us from doing it again. We have amazing memories. Thanks ✌
THanks!
Stunning and inspirational video, as usual.
Thanks!
Coffee and hot chocolate is a mocha. 😉 used to be a favorite test for me. Then I had to quit coffee to stop the migraines. It was worth it.
I like hot choffee better :-) ... a Mocha sounds expensive
That hike up to silver peak is a doozie! Great video as always, love the editing and pace.
Yeah its a full day to get up there. It kicked my ass so much that I made a pact / resolution to get back in shape! I started Jan 1, weighed 170. 9 mos later I'm down to 145. I can't remember the last time I was this slim. Cardio / strength classes 3x a week and cutting out most carbs /added sugar has been the trick for me. I just need to maintain it now 😳 It's not bad actually. I did a big loop in algonquin a couple weeks back with lots of portages and I felt much lighter and stronger, not nearly as winded. Going to have to keep it up if I want to keep trippin!
I've been watching re runs hoping for a new video. Since it is not quite October I guess it's a new/old video. As always I love your photography/videography. I miss loons Great to hear them. Thanks for all the hard work.
NP thanks a lot for watching and commenting!
Hi, long time no see - great video. I was in Killarney last week and ALL the front country and back country spots were booked. We booked early spring. You had the place to yourself 😮 I think I'll plan an October trip. Do you remember your site # on David Lake?
yeah its tough to get anything in September for Killarney... my site was the old #99 but they've updated and now its #188
Very nice video Jason. I'm only part way though it so far but I enjoy the quality and content of your videos. Looking forward to relaxing with the rest of it this evening. Thanks for posting.
I appreciate that! THanks.
Another great video! With the winter fast approaching I'm guessing we will be waiting until next spring/summer for new content from the one they call Tumblehome - Canoeist Videographer Extraordinaire. Any plans in the making for trips next year?
I hope so!... made it out for 4 trips this year which was pretty good for me.
Hi Jason, great quality views! Thank you! Can I ask what kind of canoe and camera you have?
Thanks! The canoe is a Swift Keewayin 15 solo and the cameras are Canon R6 and a Go Pro Hero 8
Great job, Jason. Glad you made it through the windstorm. Be careful out there!
thanks! yeah need to heed the little voice in my head :-)
As always, top notch video. Hoping to get back to Killarney this October...hoping I get the same weather forecast you got 😂. Don't make us wait so long between videos...Keep up the great trip videos!
thanks!... working on one now!
Another amazing work Jason, with a “hair raising” high wind crossing. I drive a Keewaydin 15 as well but Kevlar with carbon trim so you drive an even lighter version. Learned a good lesson from you with low bracing broadside to the wind, worked well. I prefer a kayak paddle in situations like these as the Keewaydin is basically a kayak without a deck. What do you keep in the waterproof bag in the bow and what do you use for a boom-stick and wind control for microphone? Thought it worked well.
Hi there, sorry for the late reply. I find that in the Keewaydin I sit a little high in the front (with my pack in the rear). The waterproof bag is my food bag... evens the trim by putting it up there :-). For wind control I put little foam windsocks on the GoPro mic, and on the Canon r6 too. I bought a 20 pack on amazon and then cut them to fit... use some double sided tape to keep them in place. They're not perfect but do make a big difference. between that and some audio sweetening in post I can usually get decent audio. I. have a little Rhodes mic for the Canon but I rarely put it on.
Amazing once again…
Stunning scenery, awesome time lapses.. keep it up pal 👌🏼
I will do my best to keep on keeping on 😁 Thanks for watching.
Mornin Good to see you back - is that oct 22? i was thinkin when u made that crossing - bet he wished he had the Carolyn Jane - stable and u cud have knelt in it to get ur centre of gravity lower - awefully hi in that new canoe - look forward to more Sir take care
Yeah the CJ would have been a little more stable but I actually do feel fairly stable in that Keewaydin. It's so narrow that you can brace your legs firmly on either side and it gives you great control. It moves around more and is more tippy but I feel fairly confident in it because of that solid connection. Oct 22 sounds about right.
not this year tho lol thanks take care@@JasonIrwinTumblehome
Like always. Fantastic pictures and sounds of nature. Thanks for sharing.
THanks man. Thanks for being a long time fan!
Great to see a new video up. Amazing scenery and the views from the top. The wind on your trip back looked intense and stressful. Then the owl..I like that you tell or describe to the viewer what animal is making the noise or call. Thanks for sharing.
thanks! I've had that kind of owl experience before / close to the hammock and hooting at night. It's amazing. Its a very throaty kind of call.. kind of freaky at close range.
Great video and i have been thinking of getting that Tigris hammock enclosure too and it seemed great. You mentioned about needing a new under quilt and not sure if you know about Little Shop of Hammocks who is a Canadian cottage vendor but I bought a new complete setup this year from them good to -5 and couldn’t be happier with the quality. I have got a lot of use out of it this year and still 8 days coming up in Algonquin in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the video .
Thanks! Yes I've heard of them... looks like great gear. Have fun in Algonquin!
Such a beautiful presentation my friend, this looks and sounds absolutely spectacular!
Thanks buddy, I just subbed your channel, beautiful vid on your recent solo hike in Sweden!
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome thx a ton
Great Video this is the first Video I got notified on and I'm a Subscriber i have to get to work and watch the ones I missed thanks Jason im having trouble finding the Toasty Arse 3000 though 😂 please help LOL
Thanks! The TA3000 is hard to find... very rare. :-)
Nicely done. A couple of suggestions from an aging canoeist and hiker. First, get some hiking poles. They add stability and are especially valuable going downhill. Second, when you have an empty canoe it sometimes helps to add weight to the bottom. A dry bag filled with water or some big rocks. Getting weight down low in the canoe makes a big difference in tough conditions.
i did that hike 2 years ago and picked up solid branches to use as poles(first time). i tore through it. just finished 10 days in there portaging the rugged south to north and back route, and grabbed branches again to use with pack (discovered knee issues 3 weeks ago) makes huge difference ...up/down/lateral stability.
yup... a set of poles would have been particularly good on the final steep stretch (both up and down). I should have just made a pair! And yes again with some weight in canoe! I just didn't think it was going to get that swirly and powerful but I should have seen it.
Wow that is a big trek... must have been awesome. I would def have poles for a hike like that.@@brentkelly5445
Nicely composed video, love the still photography. FYI if you care : A glacial erratic is glacially deposited rock differing from the type of rock native to the area in which it rests; the rocks on you hike, at your campsite and the surrounding area were all gneiss.
Ah ok cool. I will dig deeper into that... I assumed these were erratics. Thanks for the correction!
