    Fabulous. I guess its true what they say about being willing to trip in June with the black flies if you want to see wildlife! We've seen moose on Misty and Tim River but never so many at once! Amazing.

    You had an awesome trip. The best I can tell is that you were about 7 days ahead of Luke and I on the Tim River. We started at Access point #2 and went down the entire river. Our path crossed with yours at the Shaw Lake portage since we also ended at Canoe Lake (we positioned a second vehicle there). I really enjoyed seeing your video of the trip and appreciate you sharing it. It's motivated me to get back to editing my footage so I too can share what Luke and I saw!

    Hello Kev, greetings from Atlantic Canada. First time visit, really neat encounter with that Moose at the beginning…. That woulda not had me passing or following that close. I have seen Moose attack at close range…. I think i held my breath till you got well out of the way. Excellent adventure new friend. I really enjoyed this video. 5* HD Video and 💯 % crazy on your part to come so close & so many encounters with wildlife. Wow, crazy wild moose chase on the river. Excellent adventure. Cooking with Kev 👌 Take care young friend. Hope you might return the visit. I shall return. Maybe we could 🛎 each otter haha👋👌💥😇🇨🇦 LilliStJohn

    Good stuff man!
    Great moose encounter. I had a very close encounter in a tight spot with a bull moose a couple weeks back... no drama though, despite it being in the rut. I've never seen aggressive moose behaviour while in Algonquin but I have seen it elsewhere. I guess when humans aren't chasing them with thundersticks all day, they're calmer :-)
    Nice camera work. Subbed. Looking forward to more trip vids from you. Just going to check out your longer solo now.

    • @kevinthewild
      @kevinthewild  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That would be extremely difficult on a 3-day trip. You would also need to enter the park at Canoe lake and Exit on Opeongo. Until you have several canoe trips under your belt, I advise not to try to cover too much distance in one day. Weather such as high winds can make travel very difficult. I would say aim for 20km per at most. I took 6 of my friends out on their first canoe trip in algonquin a few years ago. They found the route - 80 km over 4 days - very difficult.
