Thanks so much for caring for our parks. Garbage brings bears and sadly they die when that happens. Really appreciate you educating folks about respecting nature! Enjoy your autumn.
Thanks Jean, we care deeply about keeping things as natural as possible and following Leave No Trace principals. We are only visiting and should not feel entitled. Appreciate your comment ♥️
I just found this video, and what a treat it is!; it brings back memories of trips I started taking some 50 years ago in the same area. Algonquin Park is truly a spiritual place. You have a real talent for capturing the beauty of backcountry canoeing and camping and the joy that all 3 of you take in your surroundings and adventures. Kudos to you. You also give camping advice in a very natural way which is unusual, but very much appreciated - thanks! It's also nice to see how equipment has evolved over the years..... My only regret is that my backcountry canoeing days are behind me, although my wife and I still go car camping in the summer and fall.
Thanks for watching and commenting Alex, we love hearing feedback and we love knowing our video helped brighten your day a tiny bit by brining some backcountry into your living room. Car camping is lovely and has its own merits. It may be different, but getting outside is what’s important and anyway you can do that is special ♥️ thanks again for the kind words
The entire place looks like a slice of heaven! Well made video. I agree with another commenter, thank you for sparing us the cheesy, royalty free music. Everyone wants to be some kind of wilderness Spielberg these days. Lol. You 3 are very very blessed. I hope y’all know what you have with each other. Keep doing what ur doing and I foresee happiness for years to come. Thanks again for a super pleasant video.
Heavenly for sure! We keep it simple, and truthfully, I have no patience for sorting through tunes I don’t love haha. Emma really looks forward to having a little taste of what we’re eating when camping. It doesn’t always happen at home, but on a trip, were all exerting more calories :) thanks for watching and commenting Craig!
Ah, thanks Pete! Can’t take credit for the beauty site, but the effort - I’ll accept the grade given 😀 thanks for watching and stopping to comment. Always a pleasure reading nice notes!
Amazing fall colors, it can tough to time it right to make it for near peak season. YT algorithm brought me here on this one, hope others are brought here as well, great content.
Thanks Mark! Yes, it’s always different with the timing, this year we got a good dose of colour. So glad that you found yourself here and enjoyed your visit! Hope to see you back for future trips 😉
That was just the perfekt trip and video.Thanks a lot.Beautiful landscabes and Lakes,all in autumn colours.Wonderful !!!!! I keep an eye out for new videos from your Channel.Have a great Weekend.😀😀😀
Despite the rain & clouds, looks like you three had a great time! Hint: dehydrated or freeze-dried citrus slices or segments can be yummy additions to drinks or a simple healthy snack on their own. Some folks eat them peel and all, or trim off the pith & peel before using / consuming. You can buy or easily make your own.
I love the rain and the clouds in most cases, as long as you have the right gear and are prepared. Mulled wine would be awesome with dehydrated fruit! Someday when I have enough foresight I will try it 😂 thanks!
Awesome, wishing you a lovely and safe trip when you can get out. If new to backcountry camping there are plenty of drive up camp sites and day hikes to get your feet wet! (Although I do hope they stay dry.. until you backcountry camp.. no avoiding it 😂)
Great video. The blow up sacks work exceptionally better if you blow over the top of the opening by the “Venturi “ effect, vs blowing directly down into. Thanks for sharing your trip!
So that’s how to do it!! I just bought one of these few months back and I was doing what she did. Either way, it beats the old fashioned way until you pass out and tumble down a hill just trying to make ur bed. Lol. I will definitely try this next time. Comment wasn’t for me but thank you for the advice!
Awe, hehe, we’ve got more to come for sure 😀! It’s been a struggle to get things edited this summer. come join us on Instagram if we aren’t friends yet! Can get a little dose of miss zoomie every now and again between videos 😜
Great trip, thanks for leaving just enough hints so that I know where you went. Lol . Might try this trip this spring for our dog's (Yeti) first canoe trip.
10/10 smile after seeing you guy's had a new video out. I just did a trip from that access point too, no time to edit but fun to see it again through your lens. Water was much higher on your trip and nice fall colours from camp.
Thanks Jay! We’re so glad we’ve finally been able to put out another video hehe. Excited to see yours when it’s out. We really struck gold with the timing of the colours for sure. Cheers to you and Scout & Happy Thanksgiving.
I love your videos so much me and my dog coco were watching you guys and Emma. Please continue to make more and more and more Algonquin Park Videos. You guys are awesome.
This was such a lovely video!! The colors are spectacular!! Thanks so much for sharing oh and that mulled wine will be really good when it gets colder for sure!
You two ate like kings and queens. look at the size of those steaks!! Also I salute your attitude... so much rain and you seemed relentlessly cheerful.
I can’t say the rain brings us down. It’s so beautiful and peaceful in a different way. Being prepared is the key! We don’t go to enjoy good weather, we go to be in nature. Thanks for watching!
It was great to see your video post this morning. And it’s a nice long one. It looked like a great trip. Miss Emma was up to her usual shenanigans I see lol Fall is my favorite time of the year to go tripping. No bugs, no heat/humidity. Lots of natures beauty with the changing of the season. A whole lot less people! I’d rather be a bit chilly than be sweating and covered in bug bites 🤪 I’m looking forward to your next video with great anticipation
100% Alan! We favour the fall and spring too! You can always layer, have a fire, do some jumping jacks etc. Emma is always up to her usual shenanigans and we must be along for the ride 😂 more videos to come soon 👌 no time to edit in the summer hehe
Nice country and video. You shouldn’t use your breath to inflate an air mattress. The moisture from your breath will freeze if it gets cold and make you extremely cold. Learned this the hard way! Cheers
Oh and I loved to see Pup get some of that steak!! Such a beautiful and well behaved, happy girl. She deserves some steak. To some people it’s a sin to give ur dog people food. Not here, our dogs are people.
We just spent 9 fantastic days in Algonquin ( Pog Lake) This was our first time at this park, we will be going back next year. Thanks for sharing your videos 🇨🇦❤
Is that the Tim River way in? We’ve done that, long ago, was beautiful, not raining when we were there however. Looks good you guys, hope you’re having fun and keeping warm and dry this year!
Thanks so much! This wasn’t the Tim River way, but we’ve done that a few times, beautiful. Thanks for watching, and we hope you’re also having fun, keeping warm and dry!!! 🤗
Great video! I watch it a couple times a month when I need to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life! Two questions for you, if you don’t mind. What dates was this trip? I live in Oklahoma and I’m planning a fall trip and want to go peek foliage as you two did. What entry and route was this? After having seen the camping spot so many times in your video, I want to experience it for myself. My wife and I are heading to BWCA next month, can’t wait for the peaceful nothing all around. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos to share for us. Greatly appreciated. Safe travels and happy adventures friends!
Awe thanks Jeff! Honestly, we love sharing our trips for this reason, the videos can bring some peace and comfort when you can’t get out into nature. Tide you over until you can get out, or remind us of past experiences. This was Oct 2nd-5th but every year is different for peak colour. Weather sparks the start of fall colour changes and it shifts every year. This makes catching peak colour difficult because the best way to time it is to have flexibility, watch the weather and book last minute. Of course in Algonquin you have to book your lake and dates etc so we often leave things to the last minute and see what’s free, or just pick dates without regard for how the colours will be. Please dm me on Instagram.
Have been meaning to do a gear video for some kind. Spring and fall are the most difficult for gear/clothes and also the most important! If we can get some time together during the cool season ahead, we will make one!
@@TwoPacksandaPup that would be amazing! Just did four days in Algonquin and it was my first -1c night. I feel like I over packed. Also how you guys got that tarp set up so well, would love to see that process in action. Never had anyone to show me this, been figuring it out on the way from great folks like you guys!
Hey guys! Your videos are great! We watch them from Russia. Your nature is so beautiful and it is quite similar to our in Russia. We enjoy your campfires, sunsets, serene lakes and woods. And my kids also love your puppy Emma very much. She is a retriever by breed, am I right?
Ya, totally expected at this point. A lovely surprise when it’s not full of crap. People don’t understand that this trash can blow away and anything scented will attract animals. I’ll complain about it every time, even if one person watching changes their ways, I’ll be grateful.
When I was canoeing with my parents in the early 60's there were no "Thunder Boxes".......does the Park? Service fly in and clean them out. There traffic thru lakes is much higher now than then.
She pulls her weight in different ways 😉 we’d rather she wear a life jacket and not swim with goods on board.. although it would be cute if she had her own pack.. we may have to the change the channel name to Three Packs and a Pup 😂😅♥️
Hey Cliff, We started this early on to help us differentiate from general noises in the bush vs something trying to get at our food. We sometimes hang our food bag pretty far back in the woods and in the middle of the night if we hear noise, we want something to alert us if its our food bag that someone is trying to mess with so that we can go and defend it, or have peace of mind if its just something waking around. With a good tree hang it shouldn’t be a concern but we’ve been doing it for a long time and it gives us peace of mind.
I must have missed a mention of what the route was. We’re heading out for 3 days in a few weeks and this looks like a great trip. Would you mind sharing? Thanks!
I just came across your channel and I had to hit you with a sub! This is the same exact content I want to put out when my lab and I start our outdoor channel!
First congrats to Jen on her first portage of a canoe. Its a miserable club that you have joined . Btw how much did the canoe weigh ? I don't do that flip technique . I pick up on end , flip that over and walk down to the yoke. Have to do it this way on solo trips as i have a backpack and chest pack on. Steaks looked great . But i bet Emma would prefer t-bones so she could have an after dinner chew . Early spring and late fall make for some cold , wet days.
Haha, thank you Alex. I am honoured to be part of this miserable club and will do my best to earn my keep by improving my portage skills and slowly adding a pack (rather embarrassing first flip) maybe I will try your technique. The canoe is very light at 37 pounds, I believe I just made it look very awkward and heavy 😂 Perhaps we will also bring t-bones next time for Emma 👌 Love the cold, wet spring and fall. Gives a good reason for a fire and a sleeping bag.
@@TwoPacksandaPup Aside from the misery its an exclusive club and you're a welcome addition. I don't like that flip technique even with my 38 lb 15 fter . You have to be a natural trout fisher if you like wet ,cold weather . Just a matter of finding a lake.
Which access point did you leave from and what lake did you stay on? I couldn't make out what the Portage signs said. I love all your videos by the way! This is one of my favourite channels.
Thanks Andrea! So glad you enjoy the videos ♥️ we took a bit of a different approach with this one with less info on where we are. DM us on Instagram and we can let you know!
What is the padding that you use on yoke? Does it work out for you? I hear that it is hard to get a really helpful one. They tend to move around too. What is your tarp? What size? Would it be good enough in a rain that comes in sideways? Thank you.
Hello, I am a student of the Department of Architecture from Taiwan. I am now working on a ROOTS clothing store design. I want to know if I can use some clips in the video to make my Roots clothing store introduction video? (Only about 20 seconds,Scenery part only) Thank you 🙏
Great trip! Question... as dog owners, what do you do about your dog when she goes #2? Do you send her off into the bush? I've grown tired of well traveled back country canoe routes where people bring their dogs. The last time I was in Algonquin, someone left a huge pile of poop directly in the middle of the only tent set-up spot on the entire site. Have also many times stepped where I obviously shouldn't have 🤣! No judgment here, just an honest question. Happy paddling👍
Oh no.. not pleasant. We encounter poop in places it shouldn’t be a LOT.. although most of it is human. I believe we have a clip of me carrying dog poop in an upcoming video lol so stay tuned! Emma is regular luckily and typically goes morning and evening at camp, and is always within eye shot. We grab some bark or brush and carry it over to the privy. Sometimes she will go with James deep into the bush while collecting firewood. She never goes on trail.
www.mec.ca/en/product/5063-655/slogg-70l-dry-pack?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2OiCrsP_-gIVxzizAB3LwgPLEAQYASABEgLh2_D_BwE&colour=Zinnia Sometimes the 70l is a TAD tight for longer trips or colder trips for Me. 115l is another option.
Absolutely I did. Everything packed in should be packed out. There is no trash pick up in the backcountry and just because it’s ‘natural’ doesn’t mean it’s natural to the area , if it did not come from there, if we brought it in, we are more than capable of bringing it back out. We are responsible to do so. Leaving rinds behind will attract wildlife to the site and these things don’t decompose as quickly as we perceive that they do. Besides, there is no compost pile here. There is too much traffic in parks for anyone to think they can leave something behind. If every camper left something behind, natural or not it would become a dump. Literally.
Haha, we really don’t like to wear boots. We find that they always manage to get wet. Pulling over a beaver damn or slipping on a rock you always end up more than ankle deep.. when they are wet they are heavy and extremely difficult to dry out. We wear water shoes that are designed to drain water, with wool socks. Wool retains its insulting value even when wet. Then at camp we change into dry wool socks. We find it works for us. But we want to try waterproof socks next year!
that was epic, thank you for taking us along and a huge thank you for not playing youtube music.
Thanks so much, appreciate the positive feedback. Really love sharing the trips and hearing back that they have been enjoyed ♥️
I appreciate your style of video, no extraneous music, just the camping. Subscribed.
I have to add, that the Crocs are a nice touch....
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy 😊
@@MichaelFrandsen911 Crocs are for stupid people who like smelly feet, did u never watch the movie Idiocracy?
Your dog looks absolutely stoic looking out at the lake...such beautiful colors...thankyou
Thank you so much for the lovely comment 💛🥰🤗
Thank you two for sharing. Nice and peaceful.
Thanks Steve, appreciate the comment :)
Awesome trip! So great to see y’all embracing the weather you get. Those beaver dams were epic!
Anytime outdoors is a good time! Unless it’s dangerous weather, we love it. Love an epic beaver dam too. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for caring for our parks. Garbage brings bears and sadly they die when that happens. Really appreciate you educating folks about respecting nature! Enjoy your autumn.

How colorful the forest is, it is beautiful, the water looks calm Beautiful landscape, good trips and videos 🙋👍😀
The colours and smalls were fabulous. Were blessed with the show every year
Love your Canadian strokes. Simple as it was, reach out and soak in the nature is what we all need once in a while. Thank you for sharing ☺️
Thanks Joe!

This was great! Thank you for taking us along! Emma cracks me up!!!
Right?! She's too much.. earns her keep for sure 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video!
That was a great trip. Your puppy is soooo well trained. Thx for sharing! Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉
Thanks Sean! She is very good.. most of the time 😉♥️
Thanks for watching!
Stumbled across your channel tonight.
Enjoying the vids . Beautiful scenery to .
That camp site is great …
Thanks John! Glad that you’re enjoying the trips 😀
I like how the dog is made to wait and do tricks before it's allowed to eat. Discipline! That's the thing!
Yes the tricks are not typically part of the routine.. but waiting is, sometimes only a third of a second.. but it builds character 😁♥️
stuck at home due to wildfires so watching this is the next best thing
Hopefully we get some rain in the near future!! 🤞🌧️🌧️🌧️
thunder storm in Montreal right now so I hope camping in store very soon.
The entire place looks like a slice of heaven! Well made video. I agree with another commenter, thank you for sparing us the cheesy, royalty free music. Everyone wants to be some kind of wilderness Spielberg these days. Lol. You 3 are very very blessed. I hope y’all know what you have with each other. Keep doing what ur doing and I foresee happiness for years to come. Thanks again for a super pleasant video.
Heavenly for sure!
We keep it simple, and truthfully, I have no patience for sorting through tunes I don’t love haha. Emma really looks forward to having a little taste of what we’re eating when camping. It doesn’t always happen at home, but on a trip, were all exerting more calories :) thanks for watching and commenting Craig!
23 minutes in and I just had to stop and say 5-star campsite and A+ effort.
Ah, thanks Pete! Can’t take credit for the beauty site, but the effort - I’ll accept the grade given 😀 thanks for watching and stopping to comment. Always a pleasure reading nice notes!
Your dog stole the show with his cuteness.
She’s a cutie. Thanks for watching

Love it. Rain on the water is one of my fav's.
Same. Love the rain. On a tarp, on water, on leaves. All over. All round, peaceful and grounding. 😌♥️

I just love watching your dog Emma she a beautiful dog.
Thank you Diane! She’s a sweetheart
Despite the rain & clouds, looks like you three had a great time! Hint: dehydrated or freeze-dried citrus slices or segments can be yummy additions to drinks or a simple healthy snack on their own. Some folks eat them peel and all, or trim off the pith & peel before using / consuming. You can buy or easily make your own.
I love the rain and the clouds in most cases, as long as you have the right gear and are prepared.
Mulled wine would be awesome with dehydrated fruit! Someday when I have enough foresight I will try it 😂 thanks!
Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed watching every second 😊
Thanks Amy! So glad to hear ☺️
Thanks for sharing the raw experience..it's a beautiful place, adorable dog, planning to visit sometime soon.
Awesome, wishing you a lovely and safe trip when you can get out. If new to backcountry camping there are plenty of drive up camp sites and day hikes to get your feet wet! (Although I do hope they stay dry.. until you backcountry camp.. no avoiding it 😂)
Looks like you started in Cache Lake. Wonderful.
So beautiful there ☺️
Golly, that is an impressive collection of extremely high-end and brand new gear.
Buy once, cry once 🤞

😄thank you 🙏
The dog keeps whining " like" Do we really have to do this ? Can't we just lay on the couch at home and watch Old yeller 😄

Your camping side was so beautiful ❤
A favorite of ours for sure!

Great trip, thanks for leaving just enough hints so that I know where you went. Lol . Might try this trip this spring for our dog's (Yeti) first canoe trip.
Haha, nice! I'm sure Yeti will love it. Emmas first trip that actually worked out (went as planned) was just one lake in lol but she's a swimmer 😬

She pulls her weight in different ways 😉 we’d rather she wear a life jacket and not swim with goods on board.. although it would be cute if she had her own pack.. we may have to the change the channel name to Three Packs and a Pup 😂😅♥️
I asked only because working dogs like to work and wondered whether she would ‘enjoy’ the trip more as a working partner? Just curious…….
Furry Locke Ness swimming around... lol
😂😂 new nick name found 👌
Really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing. Curious why you have a bear bell on your bear hang? Thanks again for sharing this adventure.
Hey Cliff,
We started this early on to help us differentiate from general noises in the bush vs something trying to get at our food. We sometimes hang our food bag pretty far back in the woods and in the middle of the night if we hear noise, we want something to alert us if its our food bag that someone is trying to mess with so that we can go and defend it, or have peace of mind if its just something waking around. With a good tree hang it shouldn’t be a concern but we’ve been doing it for a long time and it gives us peace of mind.
Emma is just too cute
She knows it too 😉 dangerous combo 😂
12:36 ohhhhhhhhh she got you there!!!!!! TAKE THAT
😂😂
I must have missed a mention of what the route was. We’re heading out for 3 days in a few weeks and this looks like a great trip. Would you mind sharing? Thanks!
We made this one a bit of a game to figure out!
Great trip! I was wondering how long your steaks were frozen?
We froze them the night before
I just came across your channel and I had to hit you with a sub! This is the same exact content I want to put out when my lab and I start our outdoor channel!
Thanks Dylan! So glad you enjoyed watching and subscribed 😄 labs are so sweet ♥️ enjoy
First congrats to Jen on her first portage of a canoe. Its a miserable club that you have joined . Btw how much did the canoe weigh ? I don't do that flip technique . I pick up on end , flip that over and walk down to the yoke. Have to do it this way on solo trips as i have a backpack and chest pack on.
Steaks looked great . But i bet Emma would prefer t-bones so she could have an after dinner chew . Early spring and late fall make for some cold , wet days.
Haha, thank you Alex. I am honoured to be part of this miserable club and will do my best to earn my keep by improving my portage skills and slowly adding a pack (rather embarrassing first flip) maybe I will try your technique. The canoe is very light at 37 pounds, I believe I just made it look very awkward and heavy 😂 Perhaps we will also bring t-bones next time for Emma 👌
Love the cold, wet spring and fall. Gives a good reason for a fire and a sleeping bag.
@@TwoPacksandaPup Aside from the misery its an exclusive club and you're a welcome addition. I don't like that flip technique even with my 38 lb 15 fter .
You have to be a natural trout fisher if you like wet ,cold weather . Just a matter of finding a lake.
Which access point did you leave from and what lake did you stay on? I couldn't make out what the Portage signs said.
I love all your videos by the way! This is one of my favourite channels.
Thanks Andrea! So glad you enjoy the videos ♥️ we took a bit of a different approach with this one with less info on where we are. DM us on Instagram and we can let you know!
What is the padding that you use on yoke? Does it work out for you? I hear that it is hard to get a really helpful one. They tend to move around too.
What is your tarp? What size? Would it be good enough in a rain that comes in sideways?
Thank you.
It’s an NRS yolk pad, James likes it.
Tarp is a Rab Siltarp 2
Will depend on how you set it up for sideways rain, but absolutely works for us.
@@TwoPacksandaPup Thank you. How did you manage to hang the middle of the tarp so high?
You look like a Disney Princess, I’m a 78 yr old grandma 😁
Awe that’s too kind Sharilee, thanks for watching and enjoying the video 😀💛
Hello, I am a student of the Department of Architecture from Taiwan. I am now working on a ROOTS clothing store design. I want to know if I can use some clips in the video to make my Roots clothing store introduction video? (Only about 20 seconds,Scenery part only) Thank you 🙏
Great trip! Question... as dog owners, what do you do about your dog when she goes #2? Do you send her off into the bush? I've grown tired of well traveled back country canoe routes where people bring their dogs. The last time I was in Algonquin, someone left a huge pile of poop directly in the middle of the only tent set-up spot on the entire site. Have also many times stepped where I obviously shouldn't have 🤣! No judgment here, just an honest question. Happy paddling👍
Oh no.. not pleasant. We encounter poop in places it shouldn’t be a LOT.. although most of it is human. I believe we have a clip of me carrying dog poop in an upcoming video lol so stay tuned! Emma is regular luckily and typically goes morning and evening at camp, and is always within eye shot. We grab some bark or brush and carry it over to the privy. Sometimes she will go with James deep into the bush while collecting firewood. She never goes on trail.
This is a random question. What’s the brand of the yellow tarp you are using?
Rab SilTarp 2
Nice camera work.
Thanks! 😭
Oct 17 2024- what is the make of your large dry bags you wear on your backs, one is orange and one is lime. Thanks, Rich in Waterloo
how many pair of shoes did you guys bring for this trip?
2: camp shoes and travel shoes.
Our camp shoes are crocs. Our travel shoes are water friendly hiking shoes (lots of drainage.)
How old is your pup!! I have 5 yr. old Choc Lab that goes camping with me.
Nice! I bet they love it ♥️ Emma is 5 in December.
Does Jamie have a method of storing cigars where they do not get too dry or moist in the backcountry?
Hey Pepe for a short trip, just a cigar tube to keep it from getting crushed. But for anything longer he uses a Boveda pack to regulate humidity.
Mulled wine and a fat cigar. Living large.
The only way to live. Grind all week, then 😌✨
Can you send a link for the waterproof packs you use? Thanks

Sometimes the 70l is a TAD tight for longer trips or colder trips for Me. 115l is another option.
Wow! $140 bucks is reasonable for that big pack. Thanks
🛎️
did she really say that if you bring oranges you have to pack out the rinds? o_0
Absolutely I did. Everything packed in should be packed out. There is no trash pick up in the backcountry and just because it’s ‘natural’ doesn’t mean it’s natural to the area , if it did not come from there, if we brought it in, we are more than capable of bringing it back out. We are responsible to do so. Leaving rinds behind will attract wildlife to the site and these things don’t decompose as quickly as we perceive that they do. Besides, there is no compost pile here. There is too much traffic in parks for anyone to think they can leave something behind. If every camper left something behind, natural or not it would become a dump. Literally.
emma good girl, lovely
Nice trip but I bet next time you'll wear some boots.
Haha, we really don’t like to wear boots.
We find that they always manage to get wet. Pulling over a beaver damn or slipping on a rock you always end up more than ankle deep.. when they are wet they are heavy and extremely difficult to dry out. We wear water shoes that are designed to drain water, with wool socks. Wool retains its insulting value even when wet. Then at camp we change into dry wool socks. We find it works for us. But we want to try waterproof socks next year!
