love your energy. Theres a lot of high energy, highly social people in the adventuring/camping scene, and i really appreciate watching someone like myself who is just out and about alone, calm and just enjoying themselves! I really appreciate you making these videos, because due to the nature of (both people) solo camping and being introverted its pretty impossible to meet (and get to know) other people who are the same, thank you!
@@vaclav222 yes, but not so prevalent in Western Canada. Permethrin fabric treatment thwarts ticks, tho we have to make a border run down to REi in Bellingham, WA to get some as Permethrin isn't approved in Canada 🇨🇦 yet As for amoeba 🦠 most water filters filter down to 2 microns, but u could pretreat ur water with bleach, and that's also good advice to kill anything caught in ur filter for end of season maintenance, too 😁
After watching your vid, I built up the courage to go solo camping. Although it was for 1 night, I still felt quite accomplished. First time solo and I've been camping for over 15 years.. thank you!
Hi Madison. Just a tip for next spring. Moose quite often will swim to an island to give birth and start there young and they can be very dangerous. Also my neighbour and dog were attacked by a deer back in June and the dog took a beating. Same thing, protecting her fawn. I saw the story about the dog being trampled and killed by a deer in K town in the last few days. Be safe, love the adventures!!!!!! K
I'm so impressed by all the many different things you're doing. Living the good life, away from stress and some alone time. Wish it was me! You're an amazing young woman, such an inspiration. It's so great to see an alternative way to spend time, an alternative to the very very shallow world we live in, especially for young people. Keep doing what you're doing. Greetings from Denmark 👋👋
You should definitely invest in a canoe at some point. It made the world of difference travelling in the backcountry with my dog when I switched from my sea kayak to a canoe. Easier to fish out of too! Happy adventuring!
Hiii.. Madison I am from India, about 2,3 days ago i accidentally clicked on your video ( due to your eyes, yes not so accidentally) and i watched all of your videos in just 2 days, its so freshing, so loveable type of videos I just love your content mainly because of your purity in the videos... You just so Pure❤ Always keep it that way❤
We love that lake. My kids and I enjoyed swimming and paddling around the islands. The views on the way up are amazing aswell. Fyi, the fishing sucked for us up there too. As you found out, the water is very choppy and terifying to paddle on windy days. It pushed us over to one side of the lake, and we just had to wait it out. Good job at toughing it out and pushing thru. If you need a better sleep the accommodations are nothing short of amazing. They also do boat/ kayak rentals for the doggo! - you dont need to be a guest to rent them either. Have fun ! I'm happy to see the documentary style video, its way better than the glorfied influancer style.
Your enthusiasm is contagious, your open-mindedness is inspiring, and your honesty is admirable. I love how you are so candid about your relative recent entry into solo camping as well as your perpetual state of reflection about your choices. We've all had sleepless nights that taught us something, and no honest person who has camped in bear country can say he or she has never worried about bears. You need a canoe; maybe a builder will cut a great deal for you as a sponsor. A suggestion: file the back of your Companion to a 90˚ angle, then use it to scrape that fatwood. The shavings are finer and will catch a spark more easily from your ferro rod. My apologies if I'm repeating something you know! Great to see you out again with Kyro. That's a truly special relationship.
Thanks for sharing your adventures with Kyro! I also backpack and camp with my dogs and put a z coil foam pad over my expensive pad. The z coil is extra gear to take but is very light and helps protect my good pad.
Kiro (I am totally unsure of the spelling!) is honestly the cutest thing- he's just always up for anything when you were making your coffee 😩😩 those eyes and he sits so good
That dog coat combo rocks! Enjoyed watching. Great Pup! Happy camping. Always be aware of your weather and be ready. You should carry a small roll of 4 inch duc-tape for temporary repairs to bags & jackets. Take care and be safe. Your learning. Look after that good companion of yours, he is a smart & courageous dog.
My favorite part was when you and Kyro looked out on the lake together and you put your arm around him. He seems so much like my dog Bramble...including the chipmunk obsession 🤣 Great video! We're having an epic mushroom season in the PNW. Do you ever include wild mushroom finds into your camp meals? If you haven't you should consider giving it a try 🤓
What a beautiful place to visit. Those who love nature should see this place (I have not been to this place though). I’m fortunate to live in Canada known to have so many spectacular sceneries. Love to see videos such as this.
The "shoulder seasons" can definitely be an exciting time for outdoor adventuring, especially with the cold. Of course, in some places, it can get down to 0 C or even colder at night or in the morning even on hot summer days! Like Maligne Lake in Japser for instance.
You are an inspiration! I'm an old guy who's been doing similar stuff for decades but I'm inspired by how you've set your life up to get out so often. BTW, I bought a used tandem kayak so my Labrador Retriever, Sully, can ride in the forward cockpit (while I do all the work!). As others have commented, I love the low-key, good-humored nature of your videos! Keep hiking!
This kind of a fun channel. I like that you are learning the best ways to go about things. Most of these types of channels are like boring instructional videos on how good the hosts are at doing this kind of stuff. Good post thanks
Great vlog, your videos are always well-made, pure, clean, and show magnicifent scenery of God's wonderful creation, Madison! Keep staying like you are, Madison!
So sweet to watch people with Rudolph nose, definitely starting to admit that Christmas is around the corner 🥰😅 What a beautiful view on the sunset, and the peace that you found after the first swallow of coffee 😉 I felt so sad for Kyro when he fell and about the sleeping pad, hope you can repair it 😀 You're really brave and lucky to do what you do 💪🏻😀 Thank you so much for sharing it with us! 🥾🎣🏕️😊
Kudos for perseverance and facing some serious challenges! It’s always amplified when your dog is involved…that level of added responsibility! I used to face that during dog sled expeditions! One thing I’ve learned is how resilient and courageous dogs can be! How they are happiest when connected with you in adventure! Your dog looked pretty solid on the board in rough waters!!
Amazing just after we left you went on this adventure. Glad u got back safely. Love reading how u inspire so many people. Keep on following your passions!
I’ve been solo canoe camping in wind like that. Wasn’t the funnest thing ever. Had a full 16 foot canoe. Me and my dog. Was a LOT of work to get back to the vehicle.
Oh, this was a wonderful surprise to see up. I always enjoy your videos and especially the meal portions. I never took time to understand the different tents and types of camping until I stumbled across your channel
Thanks for the reminder to get out there no matter the weather, definitely going to try to get Stiglitz (my dog) to go kayaking and camping with me, cheers! Stay safe out there
When looking for a place to camp on an unfamiliar lake in Canada, look for stands of Red or White Pine. They'll always be the tallest trees on the horizon. You'll need to find a large group of them growing together. That's your campsite. Why? Because these trees are the tallest in the forest, their needles will kill all the vegetation growing underneath them, giving you a nice open area to camp.
You're awesome. ❤ your videos. Hopefully more people will watch videos. Keep teaching more people from cities that they need to rethink survival within areas they can and do need rescue. You may become more of an icon.👍🇨🇦
Hi, Thanks so much for making these videos. Watching them makes me feel like I'm out there too. Kiro is awesome, such a brave pup! Keep up the great work!!
I wood like to learn Cree so i can tell my cousins from hobbema to sthu , lol my own language is Athapaskan Deńe. Anyways another banger love watching Mads do the outdoor hiking where I've never been , be careful of bears n cougars elk n mooses 😁💚✌
I cannot begin to describe how happy I am that I found your channel! You got the greatest energy and vibes going. I think I watched 2 videos and I've already become a patreon. Really happy to help and I can't wait to see your channel grow :)
I adore Mad’s and her mum in her video, Maddy is the kinda girl I would have loved to meet when I was younger ……. Outdoor girl, camper girl and beautiful without makeup. Perfection personified in the modern world.
I am so jealous on you, hiking/recreate in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Almost everywhere in Canada there is so much to do and see, as far as the eyes can see. Next year or 2025 I will go to Canada, for about 3,5/4 weeks. I know, little bit to short but hey, no more vacation days I can take here in the Netherlands. Keep up the good work love your channel :)
I love your will and determination to never give up! You will catch a fish just keep trying! You were in some bad conditions for fishing in this one. Love your content!
Hi Madison! I look forward to your uploads and they never disappoint. Just wanted to say how much I admire you determination to get out there every weekend and deal with the elements- you really amaze me!!! I live in Vancouver and often don’t have the time to enjoy this city/province to the fullest and watching you set off on these weekly adventures is really inspiring. I felt so bad for you on that paddle back to the Subaru! Anyway, love your channel, keep it up! You’re awesome 👏 😊❤
I had left a comment on your instagram post regarding this incident of yours. The water in any waterbody heats up during the day, and the evaporation would tend to cause a vaccume over the water body, if it weren't for winds. The winds will swoop into the area and fill the vaccume formed by the evaporation. So in essence the wind will always pick up from the afternoon onwards over any body of water... Hope you guys stay safe and keep creating more such content!
I love the idea of camping on na island far away from the bears the best thing is you take your beautiful dogie as he will tell you if any thing is near by loving your vbogs take care stay safe 👍👍
Hi. I love watching your videos. If you ever visit Atlantic Canada, you should consider Fundy Footpath (in New Brunswick) or Cape Chignecto (in Nova Scotia). Also, for gear, if you are a coffee lover, the "Aeropress Go" is awesome for hiking.
Kyro (spelling?) is the best Doggo on the interwebs. He was so cute the episode. Quiero hablar español con fluidez para poder vivir en lugares más cálidos.
Stay safe out there it's cold over night bivy bag for your sleeping bag will bring the temperature up by a few degrees but you always have to worry about condensation. You are so fearless of course there's nothing to fear but fear itself love your videos be safe out there.
I love this reminds me of when I started. Tip by a large roll of bungie cord so many usees tarps and tents to pull that board. Tip 2 switch from a tent to a hammock. Dream Hammock or Dutchware. Keep them coming I love it.

Thank you for your kind words. I also find it challenging to meet similar people but they’re out there :)
@@MadisonClysdaleeis there a concern for lyme disease ticks and brain eating amoeba in the lake?
If that lake is deep (10+ ft) the fish are hugging the bottom you might want to look into using a dropshot rig@@MadisonClysdalee
@@vaclav222 water has to be warm for the deadly amoeba to be active.
@@vaclav222 yes, but not so prevalent in Western Canada. Permethrin fabric treatment thwarts ticks, tho we have to make a border run down to REi in Bellingham, WA to get some as Permethrin isn't approved in Canada 🇨🇦 yet
As for amoeba 🦠 most water filters filter down to 2 microns, but u could pretreat ur water with bleach, and that's also good advice to kill anything caught in ur filter for end of season maintenance, too 😁

Thanks! Another great video Madison,, Stay warm.

You and Kiro have an exuberance that shines brightly. Your positivity is amazing! Take care.

That wind was so intense but your desire for Adventures was stronger! You rock, girl!

Omg so many scary parts in this venture you’re so brave and positive!
Kiro (I am totally unsure of the spelling!) is honestly the cutest thing- he's just always up for anything
when you were making your coffee 😩😩 those eyes and he sits so good
Lolll Kyro is just the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Glad you enjoy him as well 😊
Your videos are so cosy and inspiring, I get a bit nervous for you but thanks for taking us along.
That dog coat combo rocks!
Enjoyed watching.

So good seeing real life camping …I love your videos and your thoughts
What a cool trip!
Another great video, really enjoy the places you both go too. Take care both
Your dog looks like a twin to my Doberman/Border Collie mix. Smartest and most loving dogs ever

You are the best! Thanks for the vlog and great to see Kyro( my wife’s favorite TH-cam dog).
Keep on adventuring.
Awesome video Madison. Thanks 🙏

I realy love your video.. Its simple and amazing.. I dont get bored watching you.. Be safe on your trip with kyro and god bless..❤❤❤
This is awesome!! Just found your channel and will for sure be subscribing! Solo camping girl with a dog is exactly what I want to see more of! 😁
Aww Kyro's such a good boy. I'll admit I was pretty nervous when you were paddling back in that choppy water.
Another gem of an enjoyable video. I cant wait for the video when you finally land a fish. Love the positivity and tenacity.

Bạn thật sự rất là can đảm một mình đi sinh tồn cùng một chú chó trong rừng như vậy video rất hay
Well getting Kyro dressed and tucked in to bed was the most adorable thing. What a honey he is - so compliant. ❤️

Love your show!!!
You can catch fish early in the morning and in the evening, that when the fish is feeling active and hungry.

Very nice thank-you!
Your amazing....wish I knew you personally ❤ A kindred spirit that knows how to enjoy life!
shes so cute ❤
Nice, the sun just went down Nice 😊😊😊😊
What a good dog
Kyro (spelling?) is the best Doggo on the interwebs. He was so cute the episode. Quiero hablar español con fluidez para poder vivir en lugares más cálidos.
YAYY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! You have inspired me to camp and soon I will.❤❤❤
Stay safe out there it's cold over night bivy bag for your sleeping bag will bring the temperature up by a few degrees but you always have to worry about condensation.
You are so fearless of course there's nothing to fear but fear itself love your videos be safe out there.
Dog seems to be enjoying this trip. 🙂
I love this reminds me of when I started. Tip by a large roll of bungie cord so many usees tarps and tents to pull that board. Tip 2 switch from a tent to a hammock. Dream Hammock or Dutchware. Keep them coming I love it.
Love your adventures. no matter the weather. Cant wait for you to one day have your own outdoor adventure TV show
"Nights are getting shorter and the days are getting colder"? Lol that made me chuckle🤣❤️
Exciting. Glad you made it back against the wind.
Amazing young ladie wow!!!
Your adventures are the coolest :) Thanks for sharing them with the world.
Kinda inspired me to stop waiting for people and to just go do it myself
