My Self Reliance this is last fall! I was there the week after and very little leaves were out . Still what à great way to get us pumped for this seasons trips :)
Hi everyone! Hope you enjoy the start to our new Algonquin Park canoe camping series! Thought I’d go back to my DSLR filmmaking roots, and had a blast filming most of the intro sequence in manual focus with the ‘ol nifty-fifty lens :) This new series was filmed with helpful support from Ontario Parks, in anticipation of helping to kick off the start to this season, and the park’s 125th year of operation! Please note, you can enjoy the adventure in up to its full 4K through Google’s Chrome browser. Btw, I’ll also be posting regular 360° videos again of select moments and places from each day of the trip, so stay tuned for those coming up soon. Thanks for watching, and we’d love to know what routes and canoe trips you’re planning for this season!
Have a great summer Chris and I hope you and Julia enjoy it! Thanks for sharing your wonderful time in the Park. I'm too old to go camping now haha (57) but love watching your videos. When I was little we'd drive from Ottawa through the Park to Huntsville area where we had a cottage. So, I've got fond memories of the "tickle tummies" of the roads there and seeing the occasional moose on our trips. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. They are inspiring.
So nice to see you out and about again with your canoes! Love your filmmaking, it really bring me along on your trip! Spring is here, Chris and Julia are out with the canoes!
Hi Chris love the videos. Do you have a video on what camera gear you use ? Loving the quality of the shots and I am looking into upgrading my camera gear for my channel :)
What WAS that opening...?! A commercial? A movie? Suddenly I want to buy a Honda, a coffee, some outdoor gear, and go for a road trip... but not until I rewind the into and watch it again. 😍💙 SO glad your videos are back, and the moments on the water at 6:32 and on as it becomes dark remind me how your videos transport me like nothing else on TH-cam. Welcome back, and off to a wonderful start! ❤️
Here from Robinets channel - subscribed. That moment when you quietened the music and showed the awe of the quiet still lake - AMAZING. I actually wowed. (I never WOW)
Hi guys! I LOVE this one - for a ton of reasons! The cinematography is amazing. The reflective quality of the water that evening was incredible! Of course there's the fact that it features my two favourite canoe campers - hiccups and all! Thanks and looking forward to the next episode!
Good lord - this is one of your best videos to date… the filming, the editing… the silence even! So well done - I'm so inspired!!!! I have to pick my jaw off the floor and finish the last 5 min…
Hi Chris and Julia, I just had to thank you for your wonderful videos! Now that I’m older with a bum hip, my portaging days are probably over (but not my water taxi days!) so I deeply appreciate your glorious photography and the stillness in your videos that allows us to hear the quiet and sounds of Algonquin, and the opportunity to see far reaches of the interior that I will never get to experience with my own eyes. I love your music choices that compliment the videos without distracting from the star of the show, the park itself. On a personal note, I am deeply inspired by your strength, intelligence, inner calm and your wonderful relationship. You are a tonic for our increasingly insane world. Congratulations, and the very best to you, Joe Greiber, Pittsburgh
When I watch your videos, both of you seem to calm the storm of everyday life. Thanks for taking away the sadness and disappointment I see in the hurry of day to day chaos. You put a smile on all your subscribers with each video you make. Be safe.
Wow that second lake was like a mirror and mink(?) lake. I have recently brought myself a canoe although not as light as the ones you have but I’m getting out and learning to keep it in a straight line and having some fun. Thanks to you and thank you.
Yes!! Now the new season has officially begun :) So excited for more Chris Prouse funsies! Amazing video as always, the reflection was absolutely gorgeous and then the blues when you started losing light, wow! Great scene. Can't wait for part 2!
Hey, we just came back from a 9 days canoetrip in the Park. Your videos made 3 of my friends and me do this. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for giving us the inspiration! Greetings from Germany to the two toughest Women on TH-cam. Marco
Production value continues to improve. Which is kind of shocking, because it was already really good. You just keep getting better, and it is a joy to watch. The lakes were like glass that day; amazing. I also liked how you were so focused on getting everything done at the campsite that the life jackets stayed on through dinner and beyond.
That shop seems like the type of place I could spend the entire day browsing. I'd likely leave without having bought anything as I'm not the outdoorsy type, but what an amazing shop.
I'll be out for sure Chris. I'm not sure when - I had hoped for a late April/early May trip but as you know that couldn't work. Hopefully I can get out for a couple of shorter trips in May and June and then I'm hoping to do a bigger trip in July or August.
Hello ladies. I have been a long time subscriber, but not actively participated in the comment area. This is me, jumping in with both feet and let you two know what an inspiration you have been! I believe my first real time watching a video was the end 2014! Loved the style of Julia running and Chris on the skates! !!! G E N I O U S!!! Thank you. The language that you two speak together when no sounds are made is aweinspiering. I promise not always this wordy. Keep doing what you do, cause it is working. From Sacramento CA.
Beautiful start to the trip! I really liked the intro, some really creative angles and editing. I'm really looking forward to the rest because we are doing a loop from Kiosk this summer. Thanks Chris and Julia!
Great video! Lively opening sequence, beautiful lake shots, funny camp life and great cinematography. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for sharing.
Chris is back and she is in Algonquin...awesome, totally made my saturday! Really nice filming and the whole video was a joy to see. Thanks for sharing, thumbs up from Sweden!
I love that you guys promised to wear your PFDs more, but I thought you just meant in the canoe! I can't imagine a PFD so comfortable that I'd have forgotten to take it off by the time I'd built a fire and cooked supper. Love the vids!!
Hey Chris, I was thrilled to see this video as I sat down with my coffee this morning. I’m looking forward to another season of canoeing content from you two. - C
Awesome. I can't wait for your videos. You do such great work. I just got back from a 3day trip in Algonquin. Had to paddle through some ice but always worth it. Take care both of you.
Looks amazing - we did a circuit starting and ending at Kiosk- our first night also on Mink Lake. Can’t wait to see the rest of your trip! Great pictures, the best on TH-cam.
These videos are unparalleled on my feed. I know i'm not an oscar critic.. but i have to say, the editing is superb! The choices and shots and sequence to the story. I love it! And you've always had it but it so cool to watch it refine in unexpected ways as your videos come out.
great video, Did Kiosk a few years ago and stayed on Manitou, Rained the whole time and it was still a great trip! Came back a few days ago from a trip on St Andrews lake near Achray, it was great!
Love the videos from Algonquin. My friend and I are planning our first trip to Algonquin park this fall. It will be a backpacking trip then next year we want to do a canoe camp trip. I've lived in Ontario my whole life and at 37 this will be my first time in Algonquin. Thanks for the videos, keep them coming eh.
Welcome back for another season! Looking forward to more of your adventures. Heading out in a week myself for the first of the season. Wee bit of delay with ice out but can't wait!! Happy & safe trials to you both for the 2018 season!! WOO!!
Just wanted to say that watching you guys it has inspired me to get out and explore Algonquin. Started 3 years ago and so far have done 4 Backcountry trips. This year we went to magnetawan to queer lake and even though it was a spot we had already gone to before it was new for a couple of friends we brought along that had never done anything like it. Going to Achray, Grand lake in August! Can't wait! Keep doing what you do! Love the videos.
Who else came here after Joe’s recent Ghost Range trip. She is great 👍
Hahahaaaa... i did and i can't believe that she doesn't have many viewers because she's great. 👍👍👍
Me to camera work quality is gorgeous!
I am here because of Joe's trip!
I can after the ghost mountain trip with joe
I'm so glad that they did that collab because Chris and Julia are now my favorite. It makes me want to get back into videography!
Algonquin Calling!
Haha! Stoked to see your upcoming epic canoe trip Joe! :)
You three should do a canoe trip sometime, just remember Joe's love language with his friends involves a lot of teasing banter.
🙏
Great timing, this is the perfect way to kick off the season.
Thanks Shawn! Hope all’s well with you and the fam :)
My Self Reliance this is last fall! I was there the week after and very little leaves were out . Still what à great way to get us pumped for this seasons trips :)
Omg, I'm just coming here everyday to check for day 2! Can't wait

Damn... Robinet’s opening sequence sure does showcase your abilities. Lovin’ the Timmies.

Thanks so much Ed! Glad to hear - it's lovely to be editing canoe shots again, and thinking about Algonquin routes through the park :)
Good lord - this is one of your best videos to date… the filming, the editing… the silence even! So well done - I'm so inspired!!!! I have to pick my jaw off the floor and finish the last 5 min…
Thanks, Ted!! :)
That big calm water brings back good memories. Beautiful place.
Amazing scenery, cinematography, and lack of unnecessary noise! Thank you for sharing...
Thanks Kevin! So glad to hear - I spend a lot of time levelling audio :)
Glad to see you two out enjoying this weather!
A new adventure and new beauty will be superb, continuing. Thank you, Chris.
Thanks for watching Bera! :)
So glad we're back to new video season again. The production value of your releases is off the charts!
Great! That stabilized long reach cam work is superb. Glassy Mink lake... amazing.
Morning, great to see you ladies out on the water again, thank you. Great video, Mink lake looks fantastic , 🥂 to more adventures. , Bob V.

Greetings from Germany to the two toughest Women on TH-cam.

So glad to hear Marco! Congrats - that's awesome!! :)
I was with him in the park! Apparently we were "attacked" by a "bear". Despite that it was good fun. Keep on paddling! Cheers, Pia

Great video- thanks for posting!
Great to see you guys out again! Such a great part of the park. Can't wait for the rest!
Glad to hear Larry! Do you have any filming trips planned this year? Can't wait to see more of your content too! :)

A bad day can turn into a great day when Chris uploads!
Hope all's well BC :)

Timing is everything! I once put in to do the Barron Canyon at 2am-finished the first portage at about 4 or 5am.
So peaceful and calm. Amazing as always :)
