Joe, I can't thank you enough for making such an entertaining video! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your trip from start to finish, all the hardships, the banter, the laughter, everything. It's been my nightly routine to relax with a cup of tea and watch maybe 15 minutes each night before I go to sleep. I look forward to your next adventure. Keep it up man!
I know this is an older video, however one of the reasons you might not be catching fish isnt because of your lures or what not. Its early in the year and colder water like that the fish prefer a super slow presentation. It is nice to slow the retrieval speed down to a snails pace as the fish dont want to be too active yet. They are still lethargic. It has worked wonders for me in Algonquin and northern lakes. Also a slower gear ratio like a 5:3:1 works well for colder waters as well!
Kyle is so serious in his videos so it's nice that you capture a fun goofy side of him! I love the chemistry the two of you have. Your trips together are my absolute favourite and I watch them over and over. Thanks for another great trip guys!
Through countless trips I very strongly believe that when in a bad mood, while boiling water for tea go for a quick swim. I've done it in near freezing waters and no matter the conditions it's amazing how much better you will ALWAYS feel after. I do it after every portage that wasn't the best.
Yea bro well said. We did an epic hike up the east side of Mt Aspiring a couple of years ago. My knee was gone and was exhausted. Jumped in a pool under a water fall and it fixed everything. Water was straight off the glacier.
I was happy to see you got through that bout of illness. You guys are a blast to watch -- I can only imagine the editing task. Nice work for a great presentation of an epic trip.
use pine resin for an antibiotic... natives have been doing so for millennia.. the clearer the resin and more viscous, they better the essence of pine is present which fries bacteria. not sure if its alkaline or what.. but it works..
Love it. Your canoe trips are really useful for those of us who have not been. That Magellan comment near the end was classic. Ur a beaut. Great trip, thanks for all the work taking us along.
Antihistamines come in handy when in the woods. But you can usually find some comfrey or burdock leaves you can crush then rub on your bites. Raw onion will take the itch away from a bite too. It helps to have a guide to native healing plants in the area you plan on visiting. And never use hairgel or any other body wash products that make you smell delicious to black flies or mosquitoes.
Heat, hormones and CO2 attract black flies and mosquito's. You hit the flies at peak season there. 6 weeks, from May into June for the B flies in the north.
I have a daughter around the same age as Emerald. As I am watching this, I had to pause it in between calls for my work at home job. Each time, Zaida would ask, where's Joes?!?!?!
Those black flys are a pain. Permethrin clothing and gear spray would have shut those bad boys down from the jump. Spray your cloths down and let them dry and you are good to go. Sawyer is one brand that works on cloths, gear and they make an excellent Picaridin lotion and spray for your skin. You guys bring out the best in each other. Fantastic job, I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work. It will be fun to watch Kyle's version of the same trip.
I clicked the like button, I wish I could click it a hundred times! You and Kyle together, are GREAT! You two should do more of this stuff, together! And please, oh please, share it!!!!!! The karma between you two is really very, well..., funny as h@ll! I swear, I laughed so hard every time I heard Kyle's "What?" You two should collaborate a whole lot more! That kind of "on-camera" magic, should not be ignored! (Just Sayin'!") On a more serious side, the video was great!!! Thank you for sharing the adventure!
I love all of you and kyles vidios.been watching for days now.cant get enough..Thanks Joe ......from a guy in merica....lol.love it all man keep it up.
I seriously cant tell you how much I enjoy hearing "what!?" At the end of every night. Bring him on every trip plz. The long camping/kayaking vids are my favorite. Keep up the the good work
just finished this video series. absolutely loved it joe. hope your all healed up. for what it's worth, I couldn't stop watching these videos. even became a subscriber to kyle channel
Awesome series man! These videos not only fill in the gaps when i can't be out there roughing it but also remind me to try a little harder to get back out again. Thanks!
Loved every minute of those two vids Joe . You sure went thru it with those bug bites. Ouch!! Ouch!! And more Ouches!!!! Hope you took some strong antiseptic creams with you. It's great getting to enjoy the beauty of such places that are way out of my reach to visit. Especially when there're not shown thru rose coloured glasses. Whilst watching I imagine it's somewhere like the north western parts of Scotland only around three or four times larger. Beautiful, stunning, all that the armchair traveler wants from one of their favourite channels. Keep safe Joe and looking forward to you next adventure be it big or small. ATB sue
I love your videos, especially the ones with Kyle lol! Keep up the great work joe. I’ve been watching you for a while and my goal is to watch every single one of your videos. Plowing my way through and loving every minute of it!
Honestly one of the best outdoor/bushcraft channels. A down to earth and entertaining channel. Plus there is none of the over used bullshit annoying walk by a random camera in the wild all the other channels have haha Love the videos man. Keep it up
Great adventure you had there. To bad those flies got you so bad. Just so you know, here in Norway we say "melk" :) Thanks a lot for taking us along - Martin
Awesome video Joe. In response to the comment about hoping that no one had vandalized your car while you were gone, I recently went camping and when I got back to my car it was about 1:30 am and someone had broken in and stolen everything in it, they also took the time to steal my battery as well. Now I make sure I dont leave anything at all in my car so I can enjoy myself and dont spend my whole trip worrying about my car
Great Video Joe. I've always had good luck fishing the beaver houses. Also try fishing the weed beds..the Pike like to hide in there, you can catch some beauties.
Glad you captured Kyles small break down...good stuff! For anyone that up to this point just watches videos and is considering backpacking...this is the norm. Expect to have these moments! Have at least one about every time I go out. Good stress reliever.
Very awesome videos. Makes me miss our family's annual fishing trips to Ontario. Such beautiful land up there and I don't mind visiting vicariously through your videos. Great job. I was interested the whole time and for a two hour video about a canoe trip, you nailed it. Thank you for doing this video so we can enjoy the trip with you. I'm looking forward to your next one.
Great trip you guys loved every minute. That certainly is raw country not to mention those menacing black flies. Looking forward to more superb videos of you two guys!
Awesome, AWEsome, AWESOME! That is Freakin' Beautiful Country! Thank You for taking the time to video and all the editing work you put into this entire trip, from planning to in the car going home. Thanks Much!
what a beautiful part of the planet. really enjoyed watching this one. hope your face has cleared up Joe, as well as your legs etc. thanks for sharing.
Loved these videos, Joe. Temagami is on my bucket list and your trip only reinforced that. Going to check out Kyle's video and channel now. Thanks so much!
Really enjoyed watching this trip! Your editing is great. Almost like we're all traveling along with you man! Been most places you travel to, but never up this far. Black flies make it just slightly less appealing, otherwise, scenery is pretty fantastic! Thanks again for another great vid!
5 stars! I almost feel like I should ask forgiveness for laughing at your plight but you guys are just priceless. No wonder you have 70k subscribers. That is a brutal route.
Another great video. Keeping it real. I have had many trip where parts of the trip I was not enjoying myself, but always so happy with the trip anyway. The highs make up for the lows, I think you did a great job of capturing that feeling :-)
Love this channel so much! My dream is to do something that involves bushcraft in my job and this channel fulfills so much of what I would love to do :))
Joe, I recently found your channel and subscribed. consequently I have watched pretty much all of your videos and was wondering how long until the next video because I need to watch more. thanks for the videos extremely entertaining and helpful when it comes to knowledge. thank you
This awesome bushcraft channel ever made and the videos he's makes are brilliant and fantastic and good education and I am glad to support this amazing man and his great bushcraft channel is fantastic 👍👍👍😄😄😄🎶🎶🎶😀😀😀❤️
Epic journey. I was hoping you would slay the fish that last night. Every spot you fished looked like fish paradise. Hope your bug bites heal quickly and thanks for sharing.
Love ya Joe and your videos. I'm hooked! Been bushcraftin 4 sometime. Would be nice to get far north. Hopefully within the next year. Thanks again bruh keep up the great work.
Awesome couple of videos Joe, must take some serious editing! After seeing you use your Bush buddy the last few times i have decided I need one. Thanks for your efforts, very entertaining
Great trip Joe, looks like a good time. The next time you are in "black fly" country and get chewed up like you did this time, cover the bites with Balsam Fir Resin. Balsam Fir Resin has both antiseptic and analgesic properties, and was used by native peoples to both seal cuts, bites and burns and to prevent infection. It's also a great fire starter, and the needles make a very tasty tea.
That was a really good watch (both parts) I can appreciate how much effort you would have had to have gone to to film so much and edit it all. Those black flies were certainly on a mission! Hope ya heal up quickly. Here in Hokkaido they don't swarm as badly as that, but their bites make a lot of people sick. Great stuff man, I really enjoyed the long format. Thanks, Paul.
your one of my favorite bushcraft outdoor youtubers ive been waiting for this video since the day you posted the first one great videos. you more than earned my sub can't wait for the next video keep them coming Joe. I've been working on my pack since the first video I seen of yours.
Compare this to the next step up. From park to bush. From park to this. There are orders of magnitude between a provincial park and actual wilderness. Not many people get a shot at experiencing it. It's quite unforgiving.
As a longtime Crown land camper, I really understand how much rougher and taxing your Temagami trip was compared to an Algonquin trip. Even the less used "deep interior" routes of Algonquin have better maintained portages routes and trails than what one comes to expect in more remote areas, Crown lands, and unmanaged provincial parks. Regarding your reaction to those black fly bites: My wife and I have had similar reactions some years. It seems to happen whenever one has suffered no bites yet that season and one suddenly finds oneself getting many many in a very short period of time. It's as if one's body generates a strong overreaction to that much allergen from the black fly saliva. I expect that now that you've recovered from this, you will not have this sort of reaction again this season. At least, that's been our experience. I'm sorry you had such hard luck fishing. Sounds like what you needed was live bait, which sometimes isn't an option, owing to regulations in a provincial park. I was very curious about your pack canoe and wonder if you'd do a video about it - specs, features, cost, pros & cons, etc. Thanks for sharing this trip with us, warts and all. Cheers, - Martin
A ripper finish to an awesome trip, well done to the both of you. How's Kyle 'eh, the blokes a bit of a machine, no bug bites on him, and then a grueling long drive to get home again, and after all you've just done, wow. I was thinking that you could maybe add a tube of NEOSPORIN to you're med-kit Joe, that would have been some help with the bites, they really smashed you good. Anyway bloke, thanks a lot for another rock'n good vid , i enjoyed it heaps. Cop ya ron
Great video Joe. Most of my early trips were right where you guys paddled. I've done Fat Man's portage 5 or 6 times. Crazy tough short portages for sure. Fast forward 30 years Once we decided one way portages were too hard on our aging bodies we started bringing more real food, guitars, and much, much more booze. We always spend 2 nights at a prime campsite and just fish and explore from there. Next time you go I'd suggest Chiniguchi/ Wolf Lake area. Further drive but easy drive to access a more remote gorgeous old growth part of Temagami. Some spectacular campsites, falls, and Smallmouth and Pike fishing. Fewer and easier portages too. That said, I've been on trips like yours in Temagami when it seemed impossible to catch anything! Another thing, we always go mid August now when the bugs have died down a lot.
I have been watching a lot of your videos doing this type of trip with you and Doug and all . I would love to do something like this or even just the camping trips. i need to get more some more outdoors type friends lol.. love your videos keep em coming
I don't comment on many videos because I actually watch most youtube on my TV. But I wanted to tell you I watch pretty much every video you do. Been a sub for 3 years I think. Anyway, Watching you struggling & dealing with the bugs & bites & infections & all of it....I'm so jealous. Keep makin' me envious, I love it. Thanks...Dogg
Joe, I can't thank you enough for making such an entertaining video! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your trip from start to finish, all the hardships, the banter, the laughter, everything. It's been my nightly routine to relax with a cup of tea and watch maybe 15 minutes each night before I go to sleep. I look forward to your next adventure. Keep it up man!
very happy to hear that :)

Really enjoyed both parts, it's the hardships of a trip that you eventually grow to appreciate once the pain fades
great video! the banter between you two is hilarious!! probably my new favorite joe vid

You two were made for each other - love these canoe trip vids. Great job
Brilliant conclusion to your trip, thanks to you JR and Kylemeister for sharing this with us ~Peace~
FINALLY!!!!!! Gonna toke up and give this a solid watch. Been checking constantly for Part 2 and HERE IT IS!!!
I've really enjoyed these videos, wouldn't have minded if they were even longer lol
I was happy to see you got through that bout of illness. You guys are a blast to watch -- I can only imagine the editing task. Nice work for a great presentation of an epic trip.
use pine resin for an antibiotic... natives have been doing so for millennia.. the clearer the resin and more viscous, they better the essence of pine is present which fries bacteria. not sure if its alkaline or what.. but it works..
Thank you for this bit of info. I was wondering if there was something like that he could use.
He could also express all the pus and put some alcohol on it, vodka or brandy would work, vodka is better less sugars
Drunk Kyle is awesome!
Now its time to watch Kyle's version of the same trip!!!
"Do you want a swig of booze?" 😂😂 That should be your next t-shirt, with Kyle's face under the caption lol
Love it. Your canoe trips are really useful for those of us who have not been. That Magellan comment near the end was classic. Ur a beaut. Great trip, thanks for all the work taking us along.

If I start singing old Donovan songs next time I'm paddling, I'm blaming you. Enjoyed watching the trip :)
"Come on! Just a swig!" Awesome video man. Great as always.
Kyle falling apart on the rocks was awesome!!
I seriously cant tell you how much I enjoy hearing "what!?" At the end of every night. Bring him on every trip plz.
The long camping/kayaking vids are my favorite. Keep up the the good work

Greetings from Los Angeles. I'm vicariously living my outdoor life through you.
Your adventures with Kyle are downright hilarious! Love watching them.
love these so much, you and Kyle and great chemistry and banter
Also you should make an outtakes reel! "Two Canoes, One River - A Temagami Blooper Reel".
My favorite trip you’ve posted. Watched this multiple times
OMG. I am waiting for this part. thanks joe for the hard work and your dedication.
Your channel inspires/ encourages me to get outdoors. Thanks for all the prep videos plus the trip. Glad you felt better at the end. Keep it up!
Enjoyed both parts of your trip Joe,& Kyle. Always entertaining,& scenic.💯❤️👍🏾😃✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Loved every minute of those two vids Joe . You sure went thru it with those bug bites. Ouch!! Ouch!! And more Ouches!!!! Hope you took some strong antiseptic creams with you.

Thanks a lot for this series Joe, watched all of the gear videos and the actual trip videos. Good times bad times and two drunks lol! Jealous!

Great trip guys- looked tough but beautiful. Jealous of all these lovely parks to visit. All the best, Tom.
Great vid...I love the adventures of Joe and Kyle..
I love your videos, especially the ones with Kyle lol! Keep up the great work joe. I’ve been watching you for a while and my goal is to watch every single one of your videos. Plowing my way through and loving every minute of it!
Great, epic, journey there guys. Bloody well done. Thanks for sharing this Joe and taking the time to edit it.
Honestly one of the best outdoor/bushcraft channels. A down to earth and entertaining channel. Plus there is none of the over used bullshit annoying walk by a random camera in the wild all the other channels have haha Love the videos man. Keep it up

Thanks a lot for taking us along - Martin
The Videos were great! I love to watch you guys slowly loose your minds out there! Great stuff! Hope your feeling better Joe!
"these damn rocks are oil covered." that was funny shit. Enjoyed the video!!
Thanks for the video! I bet it's going to feel awesome when you heal from all the bug bites.
That's it, you guys have convinced me that I need a pack boat in my inventory, this was an excellent video Joe.
Awesome video Joe.

Awesome, AWEsome, AWESOME! That is Freakin' Beautiful Country!
Thank You for taking the time to video and all the editing work you put into this entire trip, from planning to in the car going home. Thanks Much!
Hard to understand what kind of individuals would down-vote a video like this. Honest, interesting, well-edited. I enjoyed it.
what a beautiful part of the planet. really enjoyed watching this one. hope your face has cleared up Joe, as well as your legs etc. thanks for sharing.
Loved these videos, Joe. Temagami is on my bucket list and your trip only reinforced that. Going to check out Kyle's video and channel now. Thanks so much!
Great series, Thanks so much Joe.
absoluteley amazing video joe this is real camping for the tough guys like you and kyle.
nice trip! reminds a lot of the one i did in Verendrye Québec...same terrain and all...lots of deja vue there! cheers!
Really enjoyed watching this trip! Your editing is great. Almost like we're all traveling along with you man!
Been most places you travel to, but never up this far. Black flies make it just slightly less appealing, otherwise, scenery is pretty fantastic! Thanks again for another great vid!

Compare this to the next step up. From park to bush. From park to this. There are orders of magnitude between a provincial park and actual wilderness. Not many people get a shot at experiencing it. It's quite unforgiving.
Good stuff man! Glad you started feeling better. You and Kyle are a hoot!
glad to see you felt better and made it a good trip
FINALLY! been waiting forever for part 2, thanks Joe!
Dang, you really have the opportunity to go global with this and stay at the most breathtaking views - do it dude! Next level !
You have my thanks for this content. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Excellent video! You guys did so good. Those blackflies were a menace. Can't wait to your next adventure!
thanks, they were brutal!
As a longtime Crown land camper, I really understand how much rougher and taxing your Temagami trip was compared to an Algonquin trip. Even the less used "deep interior" routes of Algonquin have better maintained portages routes and trails than what one comes to expect in more remote areas, Crown lands, and unmanaged provincial parks.
Regarding your reaction to those black fly bites: My wife and I have had similar reactions some years. It seems to happen whenever one has suffered no bites yet that season and one suddenly finds oneself getting many many in a very short period of time.

I expect that now that you've recovered from this, you will not have this sort of reaction again this season. At least, that's been our experience.
I'm sorry you had such hard luck fishing. Sounds like what you needed was live bait, which sometimes isn't an option, owing to regulations in a provincial park.
I was very curious about your pack canoe and wonder if you'd do a video about it - specs, features, cost, pros & cons, etc.
Thanks for sharing this trip with us, warts and all.
Cheers, - Martin
A ripper finish to an awesome trip, well done to the both of you. How's Kyle 'eh, the blokes a bit of a machine, no bug bites on him, and then a grueling long drive to get home again, and after all you've just done, wow. I was thinking that you could maybe add a tube of NEOSPORIN to you're med-kit Joe, that would have been some help with the bites, they really smashed you good. Anyway bloke, thanks a lot for another rock'n good vid , i enjoyed it heaps. Cop ya ron
Very jealous of this trip you and Kyle took. Would love to do this someday with one of my friends !
Great video Joe. Most of my early trips were right where you guys paddled. I've done Fat Man's portage 5 or 6 times. Crazy tough short portages for sure. Fast forward 30 years Once we decided one way portages were too hard on our aging bodies we started bringing more real food, guitars, and much, much more booze. We always spend 2 nights at a prime campsite and just fish and explore from there. Next time you go I'd suggest Chiniguchi/ Wolf Lake area. Further drive but easy drive to access a more remote gorgeous old growth part of Temagami. Some spectacular campsites, falls, and Smallmouth and Pike fishing. Fewer and easier portages too. That said, I've been on trips like yours in Temagami when it seemed impossible to catch anything! Another thing, we always go mid August now when the bugs have died down a lot.
I love your videos with Kyle you guys are hilarious!!! I watch these like reruns 😂😂😂😂
Do more videos with Kyle. He's relatable!
awesome! wish there were places around my area like that, where I can go out and kayak and camp
Love that shot of the loon taking off, great footage.
Awesome video. Despite the hard times it looked like an amazing trip. Very nice canoes too.
Love to see a piece on how the health experience of this trip will impact your kit. Enjoy your work.
I have been watching a lot of your videos doing this type of trip with you and Doug and all . I would love to do something like this or even just the camping trips. i need to get more some more outdoors type friends lol.. love your videos keep em coming
I don't comment on many videos because I actually watch most youtube on my TV. But I wanted to tell you I watch pretty much every video you do. Been a sub for 3 years I think. Anyway, Watching you struggling & dealing with the bugs & bites & infections & all of it....I'm so jealous. Keep makin' me envious, I love it. Thanks...Dogg
thanks man!
Damn, Joe! I was grieving for you when you got sick. Great video as always.
enjoyed this thanks for sharing - going on my first canoe trip this weekend :)
