Hi everyone! Thanks for tuning into this conversational update video, along with some fun Q&A’s, tips and stories mixed in between. I’m busily working away at the documentary about our canoe trip on the "Meanest Link" route and thought this would be a great way to keep in touch. A big thanks to Skillshare too for sponsoring this video! The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: skl.sh/chrisprouse03211 Clicking on the referral link to their site really helps support the channel, so we'd appreciate it if you could please take a look. In the meantime, we hope you're having a great weekend and stay safe! -Chris :)
Sure, I gotta question. How many marriage proposals do you receive every week...aaaand...will you marry me?! Lol! Just funnin ya dear. Lol. Hope you and yours are well ❤️
@@ChrisProuse you’re very welcome! And thank you were all doing well, itching to get back out there 🛶 Hope you guys are all doing well too! I’m sure Cedar is running around keeping you guys busy 🥰
You said it yourself, YOU are a filmmaker not just a TH-camr! Your filmmaking skills is what has us drawn to you and committed to you. Don’t be harsh on yourselves, we are here for whatever you share. Thank you and Julia......and of course Cedar!
Wow. Chris I’m impressed that you and Julie went through so much in almost a 7 day period through the rugged terrain. I can’t imagine the amount experience that you both gained from this adventure. I miss those time that I was able to do those things. Working in the hospital and Covid patients has been my challenge, everyday that I’m here. Even as I am writing this my shift just started. I hope this coming year that I can get out and do some traveling. And a change of subject I’m heavily into drones and have a a TH-cam channel. Great seeing you on video out once ago. Keep safe. I truly hope to be seeing your videos again.
Hugs from afar. You bet. Do what you've got to do. We'll still be here. Reality is you two have a little one, careers, your adventures, your films/videos, day to day life, and more. That's a lot! We have no right to complain. And with the great videos you've made, we only have reason to cheer. Thank you once again for all that you both do.
I think we as "fans" of your work don't need an explanation as to why it's taking you a long time to produce the Doc or there has been less content here. Anyone that follows you knows you're new parents and that in itself is a job. You're busy, busy people. I for one am not surprised that you broke a record in completing the meanest link. You're both amazing athletes. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the Doc and your version of the link. All the best!
We do look forward to your Documentary and aka your family outings and doing all that as we have dropped our support assistant and were dealing with lost jobs has taken its toll on our family as I'm sure it has with you Chris , Julia , and hopefully Cedar is doing well to. So hope your hanging in there and our support will return to you when things do get better herewith returning back to work, and Covid 19 or C19 have left our lives forever. Please take care of yourselves and most certainly will be looking for that Video Doc. as we all pick ourselves backup and restore our family passions, the PROUSE family in Algonquin year round, and at home. Love you guys can't wait for any new content all the best, and Merry Christmas. 2021
I’m one minute in and I’m so excited about what you’re discussing!! Years ago I went on a 100km canoe trip that was somewhat hard. So my mind can’t even compute what 400+ would be like. Amazing!
The Meanest Link, sounds mean and adventurous... 🧐 Will definitely watch that one! You have high quality on your videos and you are great with the editing stuff, keeping it all intresting to watch. What I am trying to say is that you have awesome content on your channel and I can´t wait to see your next video. Thumbs up from Sweden!
Chris! We have missed you... This virtual hangout was awesome, very enjoyable and relatable. I loved hearing your experience in regards to film making in the backcountry. This resonates with me as I have had similar experiences when Britt and I first attempted making videos. Going back to 2015-2016 I remember when we attempted filming I always felt like I had to film everything and this put unnecessary pressure and ultimately took away from the story and experiences we had. Fast forward to now where I have taken the time to learn camera and film making basics, along with enjoying the process and not putting unnecessary pressures on us, we now find it enhances our outdoor life! We look forward to your Meanest Link documentary, I feel you will have great success in these film festivals because of your raw talent and love for this art form! Let's hangout again soon...bring Julia next time. Until then, sending positive vibes :)
Those are some interesting shoes. Also liked the perspective of how to stay in the moment out there while filming. I find sometimes filming helps bring me into a moment because I am looking at things differently through the lens - Alex
Very excited to see the Meanest Link video and thanks for sharing your backcountry film-making advice! I'm also a huge Salomon fan, they fit my wide/flat feet better than any other shoes I've tried. I replaced my last set of Speedcross with the X Ultra hiking shoes with great results as well.
Looking forward to seeing your film! Did my meanest link with my friend Alex in August of 2020. Self supported, 11 days. Tough route!! Lot of respect for your speed and effort, I’ve never been the ultralight or ultra-fast type.
Great videos and very inspiring! It was so cool to see you with Julia at Frontenac the other day! Thanks for sharing the shoes options, I found that hiking boots are often too heavy for myself, so will probably give it a try with Salomons that you described. Looking forward to your next videos and adventures! Julia
Springtime! (Safer) Paddling season is so close! Looking forward to your documentary, and hope you and family are doing well, and staying safe. A big hello from the Allegheny National Forest in Northwestern Pennsylvania!
Thank you for sharing your stories through your videos! My boyfriend and I live vicariously through them - especially during the lockdown. We're looking forward to your Meanest Link documentary! Also, we both got Keens sandals because of you! :) The only downside is the atrocious sandal tan you get with them lol.
Hey Chris, great seeing ya back on the screen, thanks for the update. As to footwear, I've tried dozens over the years and for many years I was hooked on trail runners, Sportiva's exactly but have just transitioned into lightweight boots for certain trips. There are many options but it really depends on your trips and conditions you encounter on them.
Enjoyed the video Chris! Thanks for sharing all of that great info! I agree with you, I always feel more comfortable hiking with a pair of lighter running shoes, than a pair more solid hikers, and I also don't really need the ankle support. I actually wear my old worn out Asics running shoes far more for hiking than my Merrell mid Moab hikers. I feel better when my feet and ankles can move more, and I can feel the ground better under my feet. I find with the more solid hikers you lose that flexibility and don't feel very good footing when you hike along rocks or roots. I need to get a new pair of shoes soon so I will check out those Salomon shoes! And I also totally get what you mean about comparing filming for you to what fishing is to others. That's similar to how I feel about photography. It's what I love to do when I'm out there and because of it I probably pay more attention to my surroundings, and the little details in nature, and enjoy more of what's around me. Sometimes, as what you mentioned about filming in the outdoors, photography can be the same where you can actually not enjoy being outdoors as much if you are concentrating too much on always trying to get the best shots or hundreds of photos of everything. I have to remind myself often to enjoy the real life moments in life more, instead of always looking at the world through the camera lens and being worried about getting the shot. Is there somewhere where we can ask questions that you might answer in a future video?
Thank you Chris for your videos and tips! Absolutely love them. I was inspired by your channel and started one of my own. :) What fast lens are you using in your setup?
For my feet, i've recently had the chance recently to switch to the Altra Lone Peaks, which is the grippiest lightest shoe with the widest toebox i have ever tried. People who have feet that swell up something fierce or need a wide shoe this is probably something they want to look into for backpacking and other stuff if they already are into using trail runners. It is a zero drop shoe though which some people might have issues with coming for regular shoes, but i have no arches so it works superbly for me right out of the gate. My foot pain went from 8 or 9 in most shoes to about 2 or 3 after using them to walk around on concrete/asphalt for my daily walks which average 6 to 10km. Edit: My second choice other than Salomons are the Saucony similar fit for less $$.
I remember discussing those campfire at the lake videos. They make for great background noise while I'm working on something, but that sure ain't the kind of videos I want to make. Trying to get a tonne of footage into a coherent narrative can be an adventure in itself. I've actually moved towards minimal gear and sometimes just shooting on my iPhone so that a hike or camping trip doesn't get totally subsumed into the filmmaking. PS: The missus, my kids and I all use those Keen sandals.
Looking forward to your Meanest Link video! Vicki and I hope the boarder opens soon, so we can paddle in Algonquin Park this season. Last year's trip to the Boundary Waters was wonderful, but our hearts remain in APP.
I just sold all my camera gear as I didn't enjoy the process that much of capturing (more specifically editing) the image. For me I'm happy with printing a simple smartphone photo onto cheap Walmart printer paper.
My wife and I have enjoyed your videos but we'll also were Patreon as well we new it was worth supporting. But we have not seen anything new except the bon fire on the beach. We would like to continue watching and supporting you if we saw some new videos. Hope you Chris And Julia and little Cedar are doing well. See you on a video soon I hope, and you will continue with the support.
I love the back country impressed that you and Julie went through so much rugged terrain, what a challenge that would have been all the way around , but rewarding I bet. Looking forward to the video sounds exciting. thanks for the review on the shoes
Nice to hear from you Chris! Looking forward to seeing more. Just a thought I had, but from the flimmaking perspective - it would be wildly entertaining for a collab video where you take Peter McKinnon out on a trip. 🤷 Thanks for checking in! ✌️
Chris great video. Really truly appreciate your perspective on the number of your questions answered. I’ve been struggling in some post production on some video I shot back in August It’s just not flowing. I think I understand why now. Also love your comments on the shoes this is something I’ve been thinking about for a while I’ve tried all three of your mentioned alternatives to each other. Really looking forward to your guys Minnis link congratulations on the trip that is absolutely outstanding. I’ve booked a 10 day trip crossing from canoodle to kiosk. But my whole intent is to lollygag the entire time and enjoy it. I’ll be taking my canon 7D and goPro eight hope some of your words of wisdom allow me to tell a great story.
Always a pleasure. Thanks for all you do and what you will do. Your voice is so soothing to listen to. Looking forward to this trip. All the best. Stay well. Peace
Going to try out the Chota wading boots this year and see how it goes. Footwear is such a challenging issue. Did you wear those on the meanest link while wading thru the big east? Really curious as to if you went with goretex or not for that trip?
loved the trail cross 4 for years, when the new traialcross 5 came out I hopped on that and its even better, they rlly solved all the little problems and its rock solid now
I can't wait for your meanest link video Chris! Love your content. Don't stress out too hard about producing it. Make sure you're still getting sleep! We'll still love your vids.
Wow! I didn't know that amazing path exist. Looking for this document! One qq. Can you please share link to your awesome blue sunglasses (this when you are running on the snow)? All the best :)
I never heard of the Meanest Link until recently but can’t find much about it I’m really looking forward to the documentary all of your vlogs are enjoyable to watch
There’s a Facebook group for it, it was a lot of fun last season keeping up with everyone’s progress (Chris and Julia included) during their meanest link trip. I know Northern Scavengers have done it and have a good video series on it, as well as Kevin Callan. The Algonquin Outfitters website also has a section on their website that better outlines what the meanest link is, how it came about, the rules and all that jazz ☺️
Hello friend, was nice to see you today sharing the exciting news! Film festival entry is a great accomplishment and i have no doubt, with your amazing cinematography, you will rock it! Love your content and hello to Julia and Cedar too!🚣🏻♂️🏞🎥
Much like the Brent run, the original Algonquin canoe race, meanest should be rounded to the closest hour. It’s not a race and thus 2 groups that go out and complete the route and finish within a few minutes of each other should be credited equally. Finishing 3,4,5 even 29 minutes faster than somebody in something the creators even say is not a race doesn’t diminish either accomplishment. The few minutes here or there in a 7 day trip is, in my opinion, not worth reporting on. 6 days 11 hours is impressive, 6days 11hours 34 min is pedantic given the circumstance.
Hey James, I appreciate your view, though I mention it in large part because if I don’t, I’ll get asked hundreds of times across different platforms. I agree for the most part... a few minutes would be pretty insignificant... though we were 3 hours ahead of the previous unsupported expedition-style time, which is a little more significant, particularly when you consider the amount of filming we did out there, and all the time and resources that goes into keeping the cameras rolling out there at that level of production value for the coming documentary. Also, as paddlers begin to reach the boundaries of what’s possible out there, the more significant those hours become. In any event, I would respectfully submit that strong people lift others up, and don’t put them down... so when our time is beaten some day, I’ll be the first to congratulate them.
And hidden down there at the bottom of Your response is my point. You’re ready to congratulate someone when they beat your time. Alex and Gord specifically made the rules this wasn’t to be a race but an experience. It’s starting to look a lot like a race when it’s timed to the minute and people are trying to beat each other. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be watching the video when you release it and I like your videos. It’s just one guys opinion lol.

CANNOT wait for your meanest link video! All your videos are pure magic, the best Algonquin videos out there hands down!
Aww!! Thanks so much Brooke! We hope you and the family are doing well :)

Your comments about fishing really resonate. I just like to paddle and explore, some other people like to spend hours fishing.

Omg she should be!!! Cinematic filming / editing
Can’t wait to see the documentary, Chris!

The gimbal for stabilizing the live film shooting makes it just like one is there with you gals. I can all almost smell the woods.

Most folks never really understand the amount of work that is added by the filming process......I enjoyed your presentation...
I just sold all my camera gear as I didn't enjoy the process that much of capturing (more specifically editing) the image. For me I'm happy with printing a simple smartphone photo onto cheap Walmart printer paper.
I love my Speedcross 5s as well! They take on anything from trails to snow to back country paddling. Cant wait for the documentary Chris.
Thanks for keeping us subscribers up to date on the doc. Will your doc be released on youtube before any film festival or after?
My wife and I have enjoyed your videos but we'll also were Patreon as well we new it was worth supporting.

Love your adventures. It will be fun to see how life changes a parents.
Chris, I've missed you both! I was thinking of your channel recently and now I know why!
I can't wait for your meanest link video Chris! Love your content. Don't stress out too hard about producing it. Make sure you're still getting sleep! We'll still love your vids.
Woah, I thought this was a Philly D video with a title like that, Chris. haha! I am super excited to watch the docu!
Wow! I didn't know that amazing path exist. Looking for this document!
One qq. Can you please share link to your awesome blue sunglasses (this when you are running on the snow)?
All the best :)

Hi, how did you trained for this project?
Amazing! Looking foward to see it.
Just like you're sitting in my den, I feel like I should offer you a cuppa tea.
Chris you guys do a great job with your videos. I really enjoy your stuff. And that’s great information in this video. 👍🇨🇦
I love my Speedcross runners as well! Curious if you prefer GTX or non-GTX option and why?
LOL..I was half expecting Cedar did the meanest link too.
Will there be a second part to the bear encounter?
Filmed it and set the record? Why would you do that to yourself lol. Can't wait to watch though! :)
Did the full meanest link doc ever come out?
Still working on it - it’s coming :)
Very cool. Look forward to more.
Wow the new Tim’s for good commercial sounds just like you.
Great answer to Q#1! Perfect analogy.
Thank you for sharing.
❤️
Thanks for watching! :)
Thanks , looking forward to your meanest link “epic” video. Hope you family is doing well & staying safe.
Where have you been...?
Hello friend, was nice to see you today sharing the exciting news! Film festival entry is a great accomplishment and i have no doubt, with your amazing cinematography, you will rock it! Love your content and hello to Julia and Cedar too!🚣🏻♂️🏞🎥
You should get a DJI Mini 2. It is 249g and doesn’t fall in the drone regulations. Also, films in 4K.
Still cant film with drones in parks unless authorization from park superintendant is given
