- The Happy Camper and partner Kristine Redmond head out for their first trip after the Covid-19 lockdown. Kingscote Lake is Algonquin Parks most southern access - and gets far less traffic than the regular Highway 60 corridor through the middle of the park. It's June - so there's a heat wave and lots of bugs - but it's still an amazing are of the park to go on a canoe trip. The lake also holds a unique blend of lake trout that can't be found anywhere else in the park.

Loons are my favourite nature sound as well. Plenty of loons around the lakes here in NS luckily. Sitting around a fire with a libation or two listening to loons is my favourite relaxation technique.
So very awesome to see you both back out on the water and backcountry camping, have to love the loons , My fav. beautiful campsite and the dragonflies are cute touch lol. crazy buggers looked like a real awesome trip , cant wait to do the same ,
Great to see you guys in the wilderness again.. ordered your Paddlers guide to Algonquin.. look forward to reading it.. keep on paddling on..!!
Awesome video! I wondered about the heat and the bugs. Yep, you had em! Can't wait to get up there myself! Borders still closed!
Glad you able to get out Kevin. The intro was just fine, no need to overthink it.
My lovely wife always knew what time it was and she never owned a watch. I miss her so much, but I love watching you two. Thank you for your videos. I've just come back from a canoe trip in the lake District of Britain where I live. Much love to both of you. Safe trips guys.
Great to see you out for your first trip of the season...sucks that the vertigo kicked in again at the most inopportune time hope you are better

I enjoyed your trip! I had BPV once, I was a mess for about a week. When I went to the ER they laughed at me when I requested they raise the arms on the bed because i was afraid I would fall out. Learning the maneuver really helped and I am glad it hasn't come back!
Many happy childhood memories of Algonquin canoeing trips with my father. Liked and subbed.
I do the same thing with the time of day,without a watch ,and forecast the weather . Thanks for getting out there and letting us view you doing it. Algonquin park rules.
Hey Kevin : A good trip with great food, in a lovely neighbourhood.. Thanks Brian 80
Ambystoma eggs (Either Blue-Spotted Salamander or Spotted Salamander). Wonderful trip, thanks for sharing!
Really. That's cool.
I'm so sorry you suffer from vertigo. Me too. I've trained myself to do the Epley manoeuvre too. But it's not easy to do it on yourself in the woods. I hope it leaves you alone for good long stretches.
i could feel the warmth of summer . thank you for the footage . love from Haliburton
I hope someday I can visit Algonquin. I'm from New England so it's a cross border journey for me. I also have the Boundary Waters on my list. Thank you for the glimpses I get watching these videos! :)
Thank you for this video of you paddling...as we are not alowed into the woods due to fire index here in New Brunswick.....
That slow mo dragon fly scene was gold! Thanks for sharing!
I used to have the "accurate time-telling" psychic superpower during my teenage years. I was almost always accurate within 1-2 minutes of whoever had a watch, 5 mins off usually at worst. Sadly, I lost that superpower in my 20s and am envious that you still have it. ;P
The two of you’s make my day. Great footage as always. 😘
Thanks. We had an awesome trip.
Love this area!
I was on the York River adjacent to Kingscote and caught a bunch of those silver trout in the back eddies of the river June 19th. I didnt know what they were at first but then I remembered another video and you talking about these trout. I was literally just tossing in worms on a baitcaster. Super fun but most intense bugs of my life.
Wow!
@@TheHappyCamper I hesitated to be so public about it!!
Something I've always done in hot humid weather, especially with quick drying fabrics, is dunk them, soak them with water. As the water evaporates they cool. You'll be a lot more comfortable. Ditto with a hat/cap.
You guys are awesome. 🙂👍
Oh wow that virago is terrible. I know about that crap it makes you sick to your stomach it does me . I just do the exercise on my knees or I would fall down. I didn’t know you could get meds for it . Thanks for that great advice.👍🇨🇦.
Nice video! I just got back from a 5 day Tim River/petawawa route. Didn’t manage to catch any brookies. :(
and here we are a year later....
oddly enough i have a similar trip booked for the same date you posted this , 1 year later
Tks for the laugh, you guys are amazing!!
we where going to be on kingscote on saturday from shall acesss point 17 for one night but we bugged out, coudda whisky-ed. third miss. lol. silent lake, louisa (we found tims spatula) and now kingscote!
Round Island Lake has a similar history with lake trout. A shallow spring fed lake. Deepest spot is around 50 feet with cold, cold water. Sometimes fish get trapped in a shallower part of the lake because of the nature of the lake.
The trout has actually developed scales on the body. I think this is due to parts of the lake getting warmer than others.
That's interesting. Thanks
Happy to see you're both back out enjoying what you love.
Eureka NoBugZone saved our trip last year. Awesome product.
Christine is really nice and sweet. Kevin just relax Pal. Nice video thanks 🇨🇦👍
We were booked for two campgrounds in Algonquin in July but the border will still be closed so we had to cancel☹️
You two crack us up! 🤣
Uncanny that time telling skill. Thanks for sharing this trip. Those trout you are showing, are those Splake's that you mentioned in your fish tutorial? (audio at around min 14 dropped right off.)
The pic shows the difference of a regular lake trout and the silver lake trout...and yes, the audio dropped a few times when I was using my smaller camera (it doesn't have the best mic). Sorry about that. I tried to boost it in the edit...
Had a spark land in my lap a few weeks back. Nylon hiking pants. Thought I got stung by a bee. Wisconsin has hybrided coho, walleye and muskie. They call it a cowallski. Tastes like a braught if you cook over wood. New paddle?
Yes. The paddle was given to me by a canoe instructor from Germany. He wanted me to try it out. It's a very nice paddle - I'll have to look into where it's made.
I watched Happy Camper, Home Made Wanderlust videos and Nick Offerman's Yule Log drinking Lagavulin to get through the pandemic.
I like to find thunder box before I set up tent. Just in case. I also look for all exits when going into buildings.
I’m going camping at this lake next week! Just curious, which campsite number did you both stay at? I’ll be going to 145!
Do you do anything special to the zucchini and pepper before dehydrating? Or just directly into the dehydrator?
Just slice very thin and direct into the dehydrator...nothing else ☺️
What days were you there? Me and my dad were there on the 4th and 5th. We were wondering which site you two took?
We were there from the Wednesday to Saturday - the site was the middle one of the three along the northeast shore.
@@TheHappyCamper We were wondering who's SUV was there. and we like the one across from those three, but we stayed at the walkin. We were supposed to stay until Sunday but got bugged out on Friday. Guess we missed you coming back. Maybe next time ;)
Did you pack the grate on the fire or did it happen to be there on site?
It was there on site
What campsite is seen in this video? Trying to figure out the best spots on the lake.
It is along the east shore. Campsites on that lake are generally small. The best one is on the far northern side, just left of the portage heading east.
How did Ollie do in the canoe? I’m terrified to take our dog in our canoe. She can’t even sit still when she sleeps.
Ollie is very good in the canoe. Mostly he will sleep in it :)
@19:19 "you can just act normal". Does Kristine know who she is talking to?
LOL
Question,why couldn't you remove the chicken from the can at home and put it in a bag,similar to the other veggies?
I've actually dehydrated chicken from a can before...but we ran out of time before the trip.
Hi what did you stay at?
I forget the site # but it was the thhird last one on the northeast side of the lake.
💖🎶🎶🎶🖖🏻
Dehydrate the canned chicken next time. Works great
I agree. I usually do that but ran out of time prior to the trip.
Try Ginseng chews for your vertigo.
Kevin just doesn’t act normal he just doesn’t 🤪. I don’t think he can. 🤔
The CBC has become unlistenable over the past 3-4 years, the loss of a cherished institution.
Could have had frog legs with your pasta and veggies? Lol
