The Path To 1,000,000... Canoeing the "Big Trout Loop" Algonquin Provincial Park
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- Venture through one of Algonquin's most popular and beautiful canoe routes... "The Big Trout Loop". Join us on this canoe trip, as we paddle across big lakes and down winding creeks. This route offers some fantastic camping and fishing along the way.
Two years ago we decided to dive head first into the wild world of TH-cam. The first trip video we ever made was on this route, The Big Trout Loop. We have learned a lot since that first video. We may have been a little naive thinking that 1,000,000 views would be relatively easy! We can tell you now that "The Path to 1,000,000" views or subscribers is certainly not an easy one, but it's been such a fun and interesting experience so far. We hope you guys enjoy our second version of the Big Trout Loop video!
Some very kind people have recently asked us how they can support us and our channel. Our honest answer is "please continue to watch, like, and share"! It truly means the world! If that isn't enough for you, we have set up a "Buy me a Coffee" account, where you can donate if you wish. Any money donated will go towards making more films! Thank you so much, Keenan & Ashley :)

Well you may not have a million yet but I bet those of us who watch regularly really appreciate your great trips and being included.
One day you will have a million views on one of your vids... for sure. If you keep on editing such quality video's as you do, please my dear sir... make a million more. 😉
Maybe one day! Thanks so much for the support
I am so happy you made the decision to film your trips that enabled us to also go on these adventures into the 'wild' with you. Great catches Ashley!! It was also great to see all the fish in that one rocky creek area you went through! Thank you Keenan and Ashley - & Betty Lou and Hugo - for bringing the outdoor into my 'concrete jungle' (city living) life. 😃💗
Our pleasure! Thanks as always for you nice comments and support!
Brings back memories. I was born in 54 so probably in the very early 60s paddling to Burnt Island Well My parents and Older sister did most of the paddling. A float plane landed and checked fishing license. They also chatted for 20 minutes or more. Now I live in AK. Probably won't get back that way.
Very very cool. It would have been a different place then. You certainly live in a beautiful area. Appreciate the comment very much.
@@CanoeTheNorth Then the portages were marked with only ax blazes on trees. A few years later my parents floated the Missanabe {spelling?}to the Moose river and ended at Moosane{Spelling} Only trip without us kids.
@@yeoldfart8762 I would have loved to have been to Algonquin when it was like that. A very different time. I’m sure it was a lot quieter as well. Great experiences.
Automatic sub here love this kind of content
Thank you!!!
31:30 is a big part of what keeps me going back !
Always such a great place to go canoe tripping. thanks so much for the comment.
Congrats on the 1 mill guys 👍 It's well deserved. Your camera and editing skills are top notch.
Wont be long and you'll be celebrating a million subs.
Keep up the hard work guys, we notice the tremendous effort you put into these videos.
All the fish in the water @ 17:03 was pretty darn cool
Looks like you gave your finger quite the massage, bet that one tickled just a bit lol
Thanks for bringing us along :)
Hahah. Yes the finger was sore for a couple of days. Those fish were super cool to see. They were hard to see when we were paddling through but they showed up very well on camera. Thanks very much for the comment and support.
Follow your passion and take care of your family; you will be just fine!
Thanks Michael.
Finally!! We’ve been trying to be patient while waiting and watching for a new release from you. We have missed you all but especially Betty Lou and Hugo! 😉 We LOVE your content, banter, and style of the videos. Keep ‘em coming…we enjoy going along for the ride. The Dragon’s @ Corvallis, Oregon
Sorry for the delayed videos guys. It’s been a busy last couple of months but it’s canoe tripping season again and we have a lot planned. Appreciate your comments very much. 🙏 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
I enjoy you both so much! The canoeing is awesome and inspiring - but for reals you two have the funnest relationship! Thanks for sharing your lives and adventures with us!
Thanks so much! That's really nice of you to say,. We have a lot of fun together!
Awesome guys .. just real great , thank you so much !!!
We are glad you enjoyed. Thank you for taking the time to write a nice comment.
When I did long distance paddling and backpacking I thought at first it was about the distance. I now realize I love the campsites and relaxing at them just as much as moving! We are so lucky that you starting filming and are sharing your wonderful trips with us! :) :)
Yes there are certainly two sides to every trip. I’m slowly learning that sometimes it’s ok to slow down and spend an extra day or two in your favourite places. Always appreciate your kind words and support Jacqueline.
Great trip video, one of our most memorable canoe trips was this and we have tried to include Big Trout in other trips as well beautiful lake. Well presented.
Thanks Barry. Big trout is one of our favourite lakes in the park. Really gorgeous lake. Glad you’ve had the opportunity to enjoy it as well!
One of my favourite routes. Did it with 2 Japanese in Canada for the first time. Really rough coming off Big Trout and pulled a shoulder muscle but percervered and both happy with the trip.
Glad you made it through that trip with a pulled shoulder. That must have been tough. 🛶
Your honesty about backcountry and camping is so great. It is always work, but if you do what you love........never work a day in your life. No matter how hard it is.....IT IS ALWAYS WORTH IT! Rain or whatever comes. The Shield is a Paradise....completely untamable, and why would you ever want to! I can't wait to move home! PS. Keep singing Ashley!.....edit* It's summertime....can't wait for more posts!!! Hope.younguys have a fantastic paddle season!
Thanks very much for the nice comment. Always worth it for sure. We will keep trying to find Ashley song. She was so close to hitting all the right notes on the last trip!
That was a really nice trip guys. And a little fun to go with it..
Appreciate that. Thank you.
Great Video! Algonquin Park is on my Bucket list of trips I want to do!
It’s a beautiful park for sure. Hope you get there soon.
So grateful for all you do to capture these beautiful trips and moments in your journey. The quality of your content, production and narration makes me reflect on my trips past and look forward to new adventures ahead. Just love your channel!
Very nice comment. Thank you very
Much.
Fantastic - thanks for sharing your journey. It been a real privilege to watch your challenge grow and your skills develop. You both have a great story to tell and are an inspiration to so many. Keep on keeping on!✊
Really appreciate it Michael. Thank you.
I'm not one that usually likes "remakes", but that was a good one. I enjoyed that video, as I do all of them, and I'm happy to be one in a million views. Oh, and my dog would like to thank you for inspiring me to train her to the canoe and taking her with me.
Canoe tripping with your dog. That’s awesome. We couldn’t imagine canoe tripping without ours. Thanks very much David.
Very enjoyable. All the behind the scenes work to set up the cameras, the editing, not to mention the padding & portaging itself...Excellent!
Awesome Don. Thank you very much for another very nice comment. We appreciate it more than you know.
Awesome video! We really enjoyed it.. and are envious of your waders 😋 in the video we just posted we’re doing a section of this same trip, maybe at the same time?! And the water pulling over those beaver dams was 🧊 🥶 funny a part of the trip we just did was also the first TH-cam trip video we made!
Awesome lakers Ashley! Better luck next time Keenan 😉
We can’t wait to see what else you all have planned for this year.
Xo Jen James & Emma 🐾
A lot in common here guys! We will have to watch your video this week. I think we must have been there at the same time. We were either just ahead or just behind you guys. Would have been cool to see you 3 on the water! I’m still upset about being out fished but am slowly recovering ❤️🩹 😂. Thanks very much for watching and commenting guys. Enjoy the paddling season. 🛶
I've been binge watching your adventures since I discovered your channel a few months ago. I have been to Algonquin many times over the past 30+ years and have done some familiar routes several times and each time they feel different. Just doing your same loop clockwise would seem so much different.
Thanks for letting me relive those trips, I think we've even stayed in the same campsite.
It’s always funny when you recognize a campsite you’ve stayed at before. Thank you very much for the comment and support. We are happy to share these adventures with like minded people such as yourself.
what a beautiful scenic trip ! it seemed like the music fit in perfectly . real nice job . bill
Thank you very much Bill. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great video 👍👍 Guys. What do you mean,"Is it homemade!!" they are all homemade and amazing.
Yes! Thank you Doug.
Another great video folks, once again, thank you for taking us along with you!
You are more than welcome Lewis. Thank you.
I live in Europe now but have spent months paddling those lakes and creeks. It's uncanny when I recognize a specific bend or portage! Thanks for the videos ❤
I’m sure it’s a weird feeling seeing these familiar places. Appreciate the comment very much and thanks for the support.
where do you live in europe with that kind of nature?
@@JamesKeltan Maybe I wasn't clear, there is no such nature where I live in Poland, but I spent many years paddling those same canoe routes in Canada. I hear that Sweden and Finland have similarly wild canoe routes, I hope to find out this summer. Cheers!
@@jjurksztowicz i would love to be paddeling in canada once im only 15 so i still have some time
Hello my friends! Extraordinary trip, but I think how hard it is to carry the canoe and all the other luggage! You are right about repeating a route. I also discovered something new every time, even if I repeated the routes 3-4 times. Have a nice day!🤗
Thank you very much Calatorul. Hope you have a nice day as well! 😊
Always love Algonquin trips.
Thanks Jay. Happy paddling 🛶
Great work guys, I love Canoe The North! Congratulations on canoeing over 1 million liters of fresh Canadian water. And camping on well over billions n billions of sand particles! 😃 👍👍❤❤
Thank you very very for your continued support Dale. Always appreciate your comments 😊
Another fantastic video, and what gorgeous weather! I also love seeing the growth of your film making as well, it’s so damn good! I’m thinking about doing this loop this year solo for the first time, I’ve done variations of it, but not that full loop like that. Great to see!!
Well hopefully you get the chance to do that loop. It’s one of our favourites in Algonquin. Appreciate the comments on the film making. We’ve learned a lot over the past couple years and have a lot more to learn. Been a very interesting experience so far. Thanks again and hope you have a great tripping season.
This was fun to watch, did this loop in the opposite direction just a couple weeks ago!
It’s a great loop. Hope you had a great trip Dale.
Still making my way through your videos as a new subscriber. Very enjoyable and able to re-live past experiences in a canoe...not necessarily just paddling though as motors and square stern canoes were my work vehicles. Made for some exciting beaver dam hopping at times. Need to time pulling up the motor at the right moment though!
Thanks Mark. Glad you’ve been enjoying the videos and we appreciate the comments very much. Going over beaver dams with a canoe and motor would certainly be a bit of a challenge!
Beautiful weather, campsites, higher water levels, low key with no drama, Beauty Journey!
Thanks Robert. It was a great trip. Very relaxed 😎
I did the same trip a few times, solo and with a group. My favorite campsite of all time is on Big Trout Lake. I had a Wolf pack howling on McIntosh Lake the night I stayed there (didn't sleep much-lol) Thank you for the 'catch & release'. I remember sitting in the middle of Big Trout, smooth as glass one Sept. day and gazing at the awesome colors of the Maples all around me. No pictures can do that justice. Thanks for the beautiful flashbacks. Happy paddling in 2022+...cheers! (If you go again, I'll tell you my campsite) and a little story to it.
Thanks Paul. I bet the sound of that wolf pack would be amazing to listen to! That lake when it’s calm like that would be a beautiful thing. Can only imagine it with those fall colours.
@@CanoeTheNorth Yes, it was amazing, but you know how big and closer things seem at night-lol.I think I also had a Lynx scream at me on Big Trout Lake when I got up from the Campfire. Talk about 'hair raising'...
You two do a great job I love watching your videos and you're really good at narrating
Thanks very much Gary.
New subscriber! Love your content! Your voice is relaxing and your wife is a sweetie!
Ashley is a sweetheart for sure. Thanks very much Jody and glad you found the channel.
So excited that canoeing season is here, looking forward to your summer adventures… awesome guys..
We are super excited as well. Should be a great year. Thanks Jim.
I have been feasting on your videos and loving them. I commented on another video regarding a couple of books on the Park. Ottelyn Addison who wrote Early Days in Algonquin Park also wrote Tom Thomson, The Algonquin Years which may also be of interest. She was my Aunt and one of five children of Mark Robinson, my grandfather and Park Ranger from early in the last century until retiring in 1936. My dad was Jack, his eldest son. I wonder if you have paddled Cedar Lake? I have wonderful memories that include the adventure of getting there by train from Ottawa in the middle of the night. I heard my first wolf howls while camping on one of the islands. There is a Robinson Lake somewhere in the Park though I have found it on a map only once and that many years ago. I think it is quite small.
w\Wow.......thats an incredible family history with Algonquin. That's really incredible. I cannot even imagine what being a park ranger would have been like back then. It would have been in the absolute middle of nowhere. I'll have to make a point of getting these books and also trying to find Robinson lake on the map. I can't say as I've seen it but I will look! Thank you so much for your comments!
Wonderful scenes of nature, and sunsets. Congratulations. Nice trout too. A nice dry red always goes good with pasta at supper. Keep your flasks full, and thank you for sharing, always a pleasure.
Flasks are always full Larry! You always make us laugh 😂. 🍻 🍷 🥃
I've missed you guys so much. I think it's safe to say that I'm addicted to your channel. I've been waiting in anticipation just as I do for the fall college football season to start or another year of the Yellowstone series. It's embarrassing for me to tell you this but it goes to show how much I love your content. Thank you so much for all the hard work that goes into filming and editing these videos so we can have the enjoyment of riding along with you.
Big fans of both college football and Yellowstone so that means a lot to us! Really appreciate this super nice comment Doug.
I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it was only me. I’ve literally watched your videos like a million times. 😀😀
Can’t see why you wouldn’t keep climbing the ranks. Your filming, editing etc…is pretty awesome. Wouldn’t find any better on a professional tv production. I’m really not a fan of a lot of music in this type of video (takes away from the feeling of solitude) but you always pick good music to set the mood, and don’t over do it. They’re always a joy to watch. It’s just a saturated market you need to waded through.
I’m also surprised at the fish you guys caught. I thought that park was borderline fished out….and yes, it is embarrassing to be out fished by your wife. 😀
Hey Jim. Thanks you very much for the comment and feedback on the videos. We really do appreciate the support very much. Lots more paddling and fishing to come….and yes it still hurts that Ashley out fished me 😂.
@@CanoeTheNorth lol
Congrats on the million views! I watch as many as I can, but lately I have been really slipping. I love the channel and the relationship that you guys have. I can't wait to get back on the water again. Keep up the great work!
Thank you as always Jon for your support on the videos. Hope you guys have a fantastic summer down south!
My grandmother was the best fisherman in our family. Keep on your path to 1,000,000... I have no doubt you guys will get there.
I think I really do know what you mean when you say you really slept in. :) Wonderful video.
😂 big time sleep in!!! Thanks very much Doug. Good on your Grandmother. I could have used her help on that trip 🎣.
What a way to wake up this morning with a Canoe the North video. Great work Keenan and Ashley!!! I look forward to joining you both on your journey to a million subs. THX!!! CHEERS!!
Might be a looooong journey 😂 but it’s been fun so far! Thanks very much Ian.
Keep at it you two and you will see 2,000,000. Thanks for this one
We will see how thing go. It’s been a lot of fun learning how to do all of this stuff though. Appreciate the comment.
I just found you guys on the youtube channel. I‘ve watched about a dozen of your videos, starting with the newest and working backwards to oldest, and so far and I gotta let you know, you’re doing it right. It’s enjoyable viewing, you’re both relaxed, the filming is really good, I like that your dogs are part of everything, and I especially like the way your documentary style is concise, yet minimal. Very realistic. Inspiring really. Safe travels!
Really appreciate you taking the time to send us this message Gerry. We appreciate this comment more than you know.
No bugs No hood!! HeHeHe!!!
Like your videos. keep´n coming!
Hahaha. Well I’ll have to fix that next trip! There should be lots of bugs and a hood the whole time in our next big outing.
Congratulations on 1 000 000 views! - what a milestone! You are certainly well-deserving, as your videos have some of the best production in the genre, and your adventures are always enjoyable, and a pleasure to tag along on! Busy though it can be, this really is one of the great sections of Algonquin; thanks yet again for sharing! Good luck moving forward, and here’s to the next million and beyond! 🍻
Thank you very much for the comment. Many more adventures to come and we both appreciate your support very much.
"Awesome awesome" job on the re-do.....loved it!!! The production and quality of your videos has become the best canoe trip videos out there....thanks!!!
That’s very high praise Jim. There are certainly many talented people creating some great content. Really appreciate your support.
Finally got to watch this video. The weather really cooperated for you on this one. Beautiful Lakers Ashley! I’m looking forward to your Georgian Bay trip now. Cheers to a great season!
The weather was perfect Derek. Couldn’t ask for anything more (except if Ashley
Would let me catch a fish 😂). Thanks as always for your comments and hope you have an amazing paddling season. 🛶
Awesome trip!!! I did this loop solo last Sept. and your video brought back a lot of memories. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!
You are more than welcome Gord. September is a great time to be out there as well. Maybe the best time of year for canoe tripping!
Keep at it, you will be discovered by many and your dream will be accomplished.
Your videos (movies) are phenomenal.
Thanks Mark. Really appreciate it.
Betty Lou and Hugo! Looking forward to another year!!
Absolutely. Thank you.
i just got a kidney transplant and your videos make me want to get back out to the backcountry... hopefully by fall... 1MM.. definitely!
We are wishing you a speedy recovery Loi. Hope you are well and can get back out there soon. ❤️🩹 🙏
Maybe Frank Kuiack’s (The Last Guide) niece might be willing to do a collaborative series showcasing Algonquin park and it’s many lakes. Perhaps staying the night at their favorite lake, I think it’s now called Marie’s lake after his second wife.
That and a “gear” video would be a couple suggestions.
Many dog lovers might enjoy a vid about how you trained your dogs and what goes in to keeping them safe, in the wilderness and in the water.
Thanks for all the work you do to show us your adventures
I like those ideas! Loved that last guide documentary.
Thanks 👍
You are welcome 🙏
Great video guys! I am on the road riding again and grabbed a motel room for the night, This is the perfect way to end a great day. 1,000,000 eh?! If I could get to 20,000+ I would be happy but why not aim high, let's do this 1,000,000 subs! And maybe one day I'll work my way into a Canoe The North canoe trip! ;)
Thank you very much Dean. Where is the bike taking you this summer??? Hope you have a great summer on the road my friend. 🚲
@@CanoeTheNorth I am presently near the Ontario/Quebec border heading east. I loved the Maritimes last year so I figured I would go back this summer! Stay safe guys
Awesome 👏
Thanks!
Being from Ontario this is one of my favourite loops to run in the summer, awesome video guys!
Thanks Santiago. It’s a great loop. I can see why you enjoy it as well. A good mix of everything.
You have Michael Strahan in the bow, always hard working and a great smile! Luckily she looks and sounds more like Kate Blanchett. Then you find out that she is a nurse! Goodnight.
Always enjoyable, but we have to wait too long between adventures.
Hahah thank you very much Don. Ashley is an amazing canoe parter for sure. Hopefully we will have some content out soon. We have been away for nearly a month straight canoeing so there is lots of footage to go through.
Love your videos!! Love Algonquin I’ve been going for years every may!!
It’s a great time of year to go isn’t it. Maybe the best! Thanks Preston.
I haven't commented for a while but I remember those early videos. Appreciated what you were doing then and love what you are doing now. I look forward to seeing you get to 1M views. BTW, I'm really surprised Keenan was able to hold off on donning the hoodie until 22:00m in on this one!
Hahaha. Thank you. I’ve got a new hat and the hood seems to be sliding off of this one (even though it’s the exact same as the one I wore last year). 🎩. I feel naked without it! Always appreciate your comments.
Awesome way to start my Saturday morning,,,,with you guys,,,
Loved it all,,,,sights ,,sounds,,,,,,
Sunset,,,!!
Thanks elaine🏡🏡🏡🏕🏕
That sunset was beautiful. Thanks Elaine!
Good video friend , was just checking out your channel and i joined up
Thanks very much for the comment. Glad you found the channel and we appreciate the support. Hope you enjoy some of the earlier videos.
Love the videos thanks and keep up the good work
By the way What is the tent you are using
Thank you. I think we used our MLD supermid in this video.
Great vid, getting my gear ready! I do disagree with not doing the same trip twice, I say there is no limit. You will always find something new and be amazed how things change. Have a great season.
Always something new to see for sure. Thanks very much Amori. Have a great trip! 🛶
Love the vibe in these videos. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
We stole a good one from you Australia.
Thanks Mariann 🇨🇦 🇦🇺
Yaa...ahhh
Oh no......I' m not jealous at all!.
Thanks John 😂
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you 🙏.
Another great video
Thanks Blake.
Enjoyed the video. Looks like a fun loop but I will admit I have stayed away from Canoe L since it's so busy. Took a page from your book and tried hip waders on my last trip. They worked well although next time I will wear thicker socks (got a blister). Looking forward to more adventures. Thx for sharing.
Thanks Doug. Glad you had warm feet on your trip. We avoid canoe lake as well but honestly it was dead that early in the season. There was barely anyone in the part at that time. We were really surprised. Thanks again and hope
You have a great tripping season.
Get ready for your sub count to explode! This is amazing editing! Awesome!
Thanks very much.
Nice!👍
Thanks Paul!
Newer sub here...I'm enjoying your videos, thanks!
Thank you very much. Glad you’ve been enjoying the videos. Lots more to come.
@Canoe The North can't wait ! Cabin fever deep in the bones, so I'm dying to get out. Already have a car camping at Rock Lake for mid May then hoping to get up at Brent again or Ralph Bice for my first time.
hey Folks , great vid, so nice to be back on the soft water. Thank you for sharing, the edits and filming are better every time, way to go. The camp site on Big Trout looked fab, looked like a place to spend a few days? Right Ashley ?, lol , enjoy forks, when's the first trip in that big 20footer ?, take care , Bob
Thanks Bob. The 20’er was out this weekend. Worked great! That camp site on big trout was one of the nicest we have ever stayed at. Would gladly have stayed there another day or 2 even.
Another great video! It’s cool that you literally went down memory lane (lake? lol)
Hahah. Thanks Alan. 🛶
Lovely as usual.
Thanks Elizabeth.
Please share your secret for such an effortless canoe portage. We changed from fiberglass to kevlar last year & single person carry was ugly. It's up, it's down. such long, slow tips while carrying. Spent so much time fighting the canoe. What's the trick for balance - please, dear god, show me the way. :)
Also, cool that there's a Canoe Hound sticker in there. Totally jealous of the trout y'all caught.
Paddle on. you guys are great!
Thanks very much for the comment! Glad you noticed the stickers!!! So your having a difficult time with the single person carry…..are you carrying a pack at the same time??? I know sometimes depending on the pack frame it can through the balance off a bit. Maybe it’s the yolk that’s not quite right? We have experimented with different yolk and yolk pads and have a couple decent options that make portaging a little more comfortable. Let us know if there is something in particular that’s the main issue and maybe we will have a idea of how to help. Hope you have a great canoe tripping season.
@@CanoeTheNorth Thanks very much for taking time to read and respond! I assumed it was a weight distribution issue - make it a little tail heavy & pull down, or vice versa. It's been like driving in snow on all seasons. The nose starts drifting up & I over compensate, then it's headed for the ground. I always use a yoke pad. Sometimes with a pack, most of the time without. I think I'll spend some time staring at your videos & see if I can spot the difference. Wishing you a fantastic tripping season too!!
Cheers
Tim
I'm torn! I want you to be successful, but I also love how you respond to every comment, and not with a simple thanks, but with positive feedback to the actual comment! Not many channels will give you that, but you haven't been discovered yet! Anyway, if you are not successful it will be due to TH-cam mismanagement. Your overall product is just too good.
Thank you very much for the comment. We absolutely do try to respond to every comment. If someone has taken the time to reach out and leave a comment on the channel we feel it’s only fair to take the time and respond. Maybe sometime down the road it won’t be feasible but for now that’s how we are going to try and keep it.
Really enjoy your stuff. The clarity of some of your shots are exceptional. what cameras do you use?
Thanks Derrick. This trip we had a Panasonic and a Sony I think. Glad you enjoyed!
@@CanoeTheNorth would you have any suggestions for me for an entry level camera to get started in back country filming. Thanks.
Honestly I would start with a go pro. They are bulletproof and easy to use. For the first year of our TH-cam channel that’s all we ever used.
Thanks, that's was I was leaning towards. I like the idea of it's light weight and size also.I will go check out your earlier videos now.
Great vlog guys.
Do you find you get more bugs in your tent being flourless.
I’ve tried sleeping in just a bug shelter, ants bit me and dog.
Happy Paddling.
Thanks very much. We haven’t had any issues with getting bitten more in a floorless shelter. I think probably for most people a normal tent works better but for us this is perfect. Thanks again for the comment.
Well done loving watching u guys and your channel grow .. I was just in the park we did galipos... unreal .
Thanks Derek. We will have to check out that area of the park. Haven’t done much around there. Glad you had a great trip.
What is the brand/model of waders you are wearing? Do you recommend them?
Great content- thank you
Awesome. Thank you very much. The waders we are using are lacrosse hip boots. We love them although they are not the best for portaging heavy loads. It’s all a compromise. Warm dry feet though on a cold spring or fall day can be a life saver.
I did the same loop this summer. What is the brand and weight of your canoe? It looks a heck of a light lighter than mine! great video
Hi Sheryl. Thanks very much for the comment. The canoe we used on that trip was a souris River quetico 18.5. I think it weights around 50lbs. Nice canoe 🛶.
Very good as usual 👌
Thank you sir!
Awesome video! Would love to know what you caught those Lakers on!
Hey Daniel. Appreciate the comment. I think we got those ones on a jointed smelt from live target. Works great when they are shallow.
@@CanoeTheNorth thanks for the reply! gotta get me one or two of those for our spring trip to Carl Wilson!
(Get the rainbow 🌈 Colour)
@@CanoeTheNorth ah yes the rainbow smelt!
Wonderful Footage loved it 😔
Thanks Corrinda.
Love it!!!! I have to ask - what is the tent you are using?
Thank you. It’s a mountain laurel design supermid. Love it.
Some nice looking lakers there Ashely. Its very common for women to outfish their bfs ,husbands , brothers etc. So there's no need to eat crow Keenan.A few more seasons though and she'll nickname you 'toast' . For getting burned so often.
Hahaha 🤣. I might be nicknamed that right now Alex. Thanks as always!
you two need to get into a recording studio! Nice trip. Had a moose come into my site once. it was burnt island. a hole in the wall site on the other side of tat first island, i took it to get shelter from an impending storm...great luck.
Thanks Brent. We were looking into a little recording studio for the basement. Maybe that will help with the acoustics 😂.
@@CanoeTheNorth I find your sound levels to be much more uniform than others, and I am grateful to not have to jump on the volume control. Brent might have been referring to your singing, but believe me when I say... he was joking! LOL (smiley face emoji)
Thanks very much. I think the sound uniformity has come from practice. I’ve had comments in the past where people have been upset that the levels were not consistent so we have worked at it. Not perfect by any means but we are trying! Thanks as always.
PS, Nice Lakers Ashley!
Your rubbing it in Bob. Lol 😂. (Just kidding).
@@CanoeTheNorth lol , it happens Keenan, the ladies sometimes show us up, 🥳😂😉👌
OMG! The you pick a side discussion! That is why I go solo because I want very much to stay married (30 years).
Lol. Thanks James. In case it didn’t come off this way we were 💯 joking about the pick a side. It seems to be a running joke for us. Hopefully our marriage lasts as long as yours has! Thanks for the comment and happy paddling.
I like to sing anything from The Doors or INXS when I'm on a wilderness trip. It's even better if you have a second person to sing the instrumentals.
Hahah. Everyone has these song eh!!! Awesome.
Hey guys! Looking for some help here. Looking to spend 6 nights in Algonquin very soon and thought who better ask about a route then Canoe the North!
I'm a really experienced tripper here so difficulty is not really a problem and I'd like to stay away from the corridor 60 area.
What were some of your favorite routes through the park that would fit this time frame?
Hey Tooze. We might be a bit late on the reply as we just got back from a canoe trip ourselves. we actually just did a route that might interest you. We left from the Tim river and the went up to big Bob. Our original plan was to take the Nipissing river across and work our way back to Rosebary but because I screwed our booking up we had to backtrack and go back the way we came from big bob to Rosebary. (we needed 1 more night basically). From Rosebary/ Longbow we went down the Tim river and worked our way back through Stag lake and Devine lake. the original route would be kind of a figure 8 shape. We ended up seeing 12 moose in total and it was a really nice interesting route. I think adding the nipissing section would have made the trip even more interesting if you like that type of travel. I think this route in 6 days would be just about perfect.
We stayed
Day 1 - Big Bob
(Day 2 original plan was to stay somewhere along the nipissing but somehow I forgot to book the site)
Day 2 - Longbow
Day 3 - Tim river (last site before the 2.7KM portage)
Day 4 - Devine
Day 5 - Longbow again
Hope this maybe helps or interests you. Let me know of you happen to have any questions and happy tripping!!!
Just curious so pardon my ignorance but the water that you see flowing over the rocks and waterfalls is this runoff?
I think it’s just small streams that’s you’re talking about (from what I can remember anyways).
@@CanoeTheNorth thank you.
Bravo! Your mission is simple. Be a great husband. Plan trips and video them and enjoy life.
Could not agree more
The Canoe Song is always a good one. "My Paddles Keen and Bright." Find it on TH-cam.
(Here are the lyrics courtesy of Anjali Silva.)
My paddle’s keen and bright, flashing like silver. Follow the wild goose flight, dip, dip and swing. Dip, dip and swing it back, flashing like silver, swift as the wild goose flight, dip, dip and swing. The morning, it greets; the earth is our friend. Our journey through water begins once again. My paddle’s keen and bright, flashing like silver. Follow the wild goose flight, dip, dip and swing. Dip, dip and swing it back, flashing like silver, swift as the wild goose flight, dip, dip and swing. (Altos only: Dip, dip and swing). The blue sky surrounds; the river, it bends. We follow its winding, darkness descends. (Altos only: Hey ya na, hey ya na, hey ya na, hey ya. Hey ya na, he ya na, hey ya na, hey.) My paddle’s keen and bright, flashing like silver. Follow the wild goose flight, dip, dip and swing. Dip, dip and swing it back, flashing like silver, swift as the wild goose flight, (Altos only: dip, dip and swing). Swift as the wild goose flight. Hey ya na, hey!
I don’t know if you could get a better paddling song! Awesome.
What’s the song playing in the beginning? “Slow down…”
I think it’s a song by Harry Keyworth Mike. I’ll have to see if I can find it again.
