- I go on a short 3 day trip to Rosebary Lake in Algonquin Park via the Tim Lake Access Point. Tim River is quite twisty at points and there's a few beaver dams that need to be navigated. I got to test out my new Campfire Tent, a tent favoured by canoeing legend Bill Mason. The weather was perfect for all 3 days.
Beautiful video! What a neat tent! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Larry, So glad to see another video from you. It's been too long since the last one. Cheers, Scott.
Thanks Scott. It felt good to be back out there again!
Yes, it’s been a while since your last video. I trust that brother Steve is well. I hope you do get out for one more fall trip. This made my day. Thanks for posting.
I hope so too! Steve is doing great - we just couldn't align our schedules this year.
Really great to see you out and about ! Hope all is well, thanks for sharing. Really nice tent set up. Peace ✌️
Thanks for watching. I think the tent will be especially great for shoulder season when a fire by the tent or stove in it would be nice.
Another great trip & video, thanks Larry.
Thanks for making this video...so relaxing to watch. I love your style of tripping
Thanks Matt!
Many thanks for posting. Have really enjoyed viewing your trips.
Best regards from New Zealand
Thanks Don. Great to hear from New Zealand. I'd love to visit there one day - such a beautiful country.
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the next one.
Absolutely awsome. My favorite tent is the baker tent .I have made few of them .Thanks again for the great vidieo
They are nice!
Love the rosebary area. I have 2 baker tents made by ric drediker of Churchill outfitters. One regular on and a mini nylon one. Both are about 15 years old and in good shape. Thanx for taking us along. Congratulations to Steve also
It is nice for sure Cliff. I'd like to see it when the colours are full. I'm looking forward to using the tent more now that she's had a trial run and I'm more familiar with how to set it up!
Well, I'm all caught up and it's been a privilege to join you and your brother on your adventures. Many thanks and all the best from Scotland.
Thanks Donald. Glad you enjoyed them. We're hoping to get out this year again so stay tuned for more adventures. I'd love to travel to Scotland one day. It looks like a beautiful country.
Great to see you back. Always enjoy your videos.
Thanks Water Walker!
Great to see you out Larry and great video as always.
Thanks Rusty.
Thanks for sharing your trip! It was great! We stayed on that site earlier this year and loved every minute of it. We were hit with constant wind into our site which was great for keeping the bugs out. That metal piece was useful for putting in front of the fire pit to block the incoming wind from fanning out the fire
It is a great site with lots of tent areas. That would be a good windbreak. Never thought of that!
So much better than a teepee style
Looks like a sweet spot
It was a very nice spot for sure. Nice weather helped.
Great video once again! I love the fall as well.
Ya can't beat it!
Nice video, I like your outfit. Beautiful canoe, and a big thumbs up for going with the campfire tent solo, 22 lbs, it's worth it. Looks so nice around camp, I bet you will have many enjoyable camps down the road. Finally, love those cold handle frying pans over a fire, way to go. Good to see you back, Thanks for sharing your trip.
Robin Lauer thanks for stopping by Robin. I really have enjoyed your videos as well. The cold handle fry pan is thanks to you! I really do love that tent as well and had hoped to get out in the shoulder season with the stove. I’m hoping it will work for winter as well. Not as air tight as a snowtrekker but better than cold camping which I have done.
Awsome thank you.
Thanks for sharing. Hope Steve is well and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thanks for watching and commenting William. I always love to hear from people.
thanks for sharing this. That is one gorgeous boat Larry. I have made 2 fiberglass on cedar strip boats, but I don't think I could tackle another one. lol I love the look of the ribs.thanks again
Thanks. I've always wanted to build one - one day!
Good to see you Larry!!!!
It was great to get out! Too long between trips and this one wasn't long enough. I would have liked to stay for a few more days at least.
Great video! Can't wait to make it to Algonquin myself some day! Soon, hopefully!
Nice to see you after a while Larry!, thanks for video, relaxing as always...
Thanks Igor. I hope to get more videos out.
being in the states and never have been to this area, it must be a HUGE park. Everyone almost always says they rarely see other people but then you look on youtube and there are hoards of folks with videos from this park.
It is a huge park (2955 square miles) but it depends on where and when you go as to how busy it is. There is a highway through the lower part of the park and this is where is is busiest. As well, July and August are very busy with vacationers, camps etc in the park. If you go up the west side or in from the north however, it is much less travelled and if you go in the spring or fall you are fall less likely to see people.
Yessss he's back in the saddle! Great to see you back out on the water chasing adventure. Loving your new tent set up. It would make a wonderful base camp. It was a pleasure meeting you at Canadian outdoor equipment. The fiancé and myself are looking forward to the next video :)
Thanks Scott. Great to meet you as well. Hopefully I can get out again soon!
Great to see the post Larry...been too long...always enjoy your posts.
Thanks Kevin. I'd like to get out more often too!
Hey Larry, Great video. I love this part of the park (access points 2 & 3) are my fav's. I'm pretty sure I was at that site last year during my 10 day trip. Amazed at how low the water level was compared to last year, but last year was a wet one.
Jason Eke it looks like a lake that could rise and fall a lot with the rain so that wouldn’t surprise me. The Tim river was fine and it’s been known to be trouble if the water is too low as you probably know. Thanks for watching Jason and hope to see you out again soon!
Thanks Larry.
Yeah, with the water level so high last year I decided to tackle the full length of the Tim to Big Trout... a very twisty couple of days. Btw, thanks for showing your new tent set up. I've been curious about that style of tent for a while.
Interesting tent. Have you tried having a fire under the canopy? Looked like a great weekend getaway.
I've not yet tried a fire under this canopy. I've had many fires under a nylon tarp though so this should not be a problem. Just keep it small.
So glad to see a video from you. I enjoy them so much. I just got back from camping at Inverhuron Park and did some kayaking in the Saugeen River. The water was low so made it very adventurous with all the rapids and rocks. Just nice to get out and enjoy the outdoors. Hope you get back out again and hope all is well with brother Steve. Will wait for next video. Take care and thanks for sharing.😍
Thanks Trisha. Steve is doing well - in fact he's getting married next week!
Larry Hyett that is awesome news. The two of you were how I got hooked on watching these outdoor videos. So nice to see family spending time together..
TH-cam failed to tell me that you'd posted a new video (or I failed to notice). Good stuff as always Larry - glad you finally made it out this year!
Yes, finally Bob! I am going on an overnighter this week as well. Hopefully the colours will be moving along.
Nice! I'm aiming for a 4-day trip mid-October, which will probably be my last of the year.
Hi Larry, I really enjoy your films please keep it up. I was at opeongo and otter slide this year. High winds for my narrow canoe. I think I will stay on smaller lakes and rivers from now on.
Thanks Gerald. I know what you mean about big lakes like Opeongo. I try to steer clear of them if I'm solo and even tandem if I can. Getting windbound is no fun.
Nice adventure! I need to get back to algonquin soon..
Thanks! Me too. The ice can't come out soon enough.
Good to see another video from you... it's been a while. I jealous of your weather. My 2 trips this year were mostly wet -- despite the fact that it wasn't a very wet year. Hope you get a fall trip in. -Larry
Sorry to hear that your weather wasn't good. It certainly is better when the weather cooperates!
Hi Larry miss you, haven't seen a video in awhile hope all is well with you and Steve. Happy trails my friend!
Steve Forsythe hi Steve. Thanks for checking in. It’s been a tough spring for Steve and I. Our dad was diagnosed with cancer in April and passed away in June. As you probably know we were very close. We’ll be back out there soon though!
@@LarryHyett sorry to hear about your Dad and it's tough. May he R.I.P. I was thinking God forbid something happened to you or your brother. I am blessed my Dad is still with me and he turns 84 this September. Damn cancer, my wife just beat breast cancer and it was a rough road, God Bless you both, see ya on the trails!
I've been thinking about going in at the Tim Access this fall (one of my favorite access points) but have been noting the low water advisories. Your video reassures me that it's not so bad. Thanks for sharing. I always appreciate your videos.
Thanks for watching. Yes, water levels were no problem this year. Other than the odd beaver dam and the twists and turns of the Tim river it's fine!
Nice trip Larry enjoyable as always. I know what you mean as I had more plans that fell through this summer as well. I did go out in Aug for 4 days just got to finish the video. I am heading out two more times this fall.
Looking forward to the video!
Thanks I’m just restoring a old kayak. Hopefully get it ready for this year. Just waiting for the weather to warm up so i can do some fibre glass work outside. The wife won’t let me stink up the house.😬 cheers 👍🇨🇦
thanks for posting this video..... sausage at every meal ... my type of roughing it
Ha ha - yes. Not the healthiest, but it stays good for a long time!
Welcome back! I've taken a hiatus from posting as well. The fire tent would work for base camping. Hard to say how it would do in high winds. From my own experience canoe camping on the Canadian Shield it's well, rocky. I traveled with someone who used a tarp tent. You can't put it just anywhere. Funny thing, but he always got the prime camping sites. Hahaha! Very clever plan. :) Love fall camping but the company I work for changed our vacation policy and I have to take all but 40 hours prior to Sept. 10. No bueno.
Good to hear from you! I think the tent would be good for base camping for sure, but also for expeditions where you're going to be out for quite a while and comfort is important. I think this set up could withstand weather - there's many different ways to pitch it so batten it down for heavy winds and rain. If I am going on the usual week or less trip where there's a lot of portaging I think I'll go with the hammock. It's so comfortable and easy to get in and out of.
Solid video Larry! Good to see another video. I love that part of the park. I took my oldest son to the site you wanted to stay at when he was 3, oddly enough we seen 3 bull moose that trip.
Hope ya get back out for a fall trip!
Cheers!
-Chris
Thanks Chris. I was hoping to see some moose as well as this area is prime moose country. You were lucky to see 3!
Great video! Looked like perfect fall weather! Awesome you heard the wolves too! I like your little round cook stove/grate for the fire...did you make that?
Thanks for watching. It's called the Littlbug Stove. I bought it at Canadian Outdoor Equipment but there are other places that sell them as well.
Great video, i love Algonquin, havent done a solo trip yet but plan on it. Subbed.
Thanks. I hope you get out for that first solo soon! Good luck!
Great to see you back Larry, really enjoy your trips. Must feel good to be out there...maybe a Fall trip with Steve is possible?
It was great to get out Steve. I'm not sure I'll be able to get out with Steve in the fall as he has a lot going on right now but I am hoping to get out once or twice more.
I sure hope we see some new videos this year Larry...miss seeing your posts.
Thanks Kevin. I’m hoping we are able to get out in the spring again this year!
how come no trip video this year Larry , hope everyone is in good heath.
Steve and I are both fine but we did lose our dad over the summer after a short battle with cancer so no trips this year. Hopefully back at it next spring.
So sorry for your loss. Looking forward to seeing you guys back out there
Awesome video. I was on that canoe route when I was a kid. We camped on that beach. Is that a chestnut canoe. Nice
Thanks Fran. It is a nice beach for sure. It's a Langford Canoe.
Hi Larry! Good to see you back on the water. The new tent looks pretty sharp. I like the white... cool and bright. Those were some sweet still waters you were paddling. That sounds like an awesome wolf howl experience. Hearing them out there in the quiet is hair raising! Does your mic have an indicator light telling you its active?... thats the only thing saving me from forgetting. Your camera seems to be hunting focus a fair bit... do you have a lock feature for the focus? My new cam has a little button on the touch screen to pause auto focus once its where you want. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Jason. It was good to be out! I can't wait to get out again. As for the mic, it certainly has the indicator light - I'm just an idiot. I noticed the focus hunting after I downloaded the footage. It was my first time doing any video with this camera so lesson learned for next time. Did you just get back from your trip?
Awesome video. Looks like a great week to go. A tip. If you "normalize" your audio between clips your audience doesn't have to keep turning their volume and keep waking their family.
Hi Larry hope all is well been a long winter any trips this spring or summer? Any idea what Happened to Hoop Wintertrekker on his channel Thanks Earl 🛶🍻 Cheers
I haven’t done any spring trips Earl but hope to get out in the summer and fall. Not sure where Hoop’s been.
@@LarryHyett thanks for the Reply love the channel
Larry, welcome back, thanks very much for the video, I enjoyed it very much.
What are you using for video equipment??
Thanks Ron. I use a GoPro and a Canon 5D.
So, ok love all the videos but on a completely unrelated topic...what are the eyeglasses you are wearing? it might seem trivial but I like that sort of thing. thanks, Thomas.
Show us your steak Larry! You’ve been tagged by Scott from Drenalin Adventures
Are you serious? You never set that Bakers tent up in your own back yard, before, you took it into the outback...
Thanks for filming your trip. What did you think about that tent?
I had some learning to do, but now that I have some experience with it, I think it will be great for certain types of trips. It is heavy, so anything really portage heavy may not be what I'd use it for. On the other hand, it is very suited to just about any kind of weather and you can stay comfortable without getting wet or cold.If I were going on a really long trip I think this might be the way to go though.
Hey Larry how it going any trips planned this year love the channel Earl
For sure Earl. I haven't planned anything specific but I'm hoping to do a lot of trips this year.
Is that a plastic tent?thought they were canvas
No it’s cotton. Lighter than regular canvas though.
Good job on the vid! Love the tent. what is it called and where did ya get it from? If ya don't mind sharing. :)
Thank you. They go by a few different names - mainly campfire tent and baker tent. I got mine from Churchill River Canoe Outfitters in Manitoba. Frost River also has a version they sell.
@@LarryHyett how much roughly?
Love the video Larry. Real neat to see the site my son and I spent 4 days over the Canada Day Long weekend. I think it was the better of the 2 myself. Wondering if you saw any mouse we saw them everyday on our trip. Check out photos of them at www.schneider-clan.com.
Chris Schneider thanks Chris. I didn’t see any mice but the chipmunk was pretty pesky. I had to keep the food bag closed all the time otherwise he’d be in there!
I love seeing what gear you’ve got out for your trips! I have a Sierra Design Divine Light 2 which is basically a mini version of the baker tent. Hope to see more videos and hope you get out with your brother too. Thanks Larry.
Thanks Craig. I always come back and wished I had filmed more and explained more. The Littlbug Sr was new for me and I wished I had talked a bit more about that. Next time.
