Exploring the Ontario backcountry with our enthusiastic Golden Retriever named Emma. We love canoeing, backcountry camping, hiking, portaging, cooking on the fire and swimming.. lots of swimming.
Algonquin Canoe Camping in August, 3 Days, Rock Lake, Rence, Louisa
August 26,27,28 2023 In Algonquin Park.
Access was Rock Lake, we traveled in some light rain and wind through to Rence Lake for night 1. Along the way we bump into some friends! We cooked steak on the fire and enjoyed a great evening.
The next day we paddled to Lake Louisa and set up at a beautiful camp site. Jen does a bear hang, James rebuilt a fire pit, we swam and enjoyed a perfect day at camp. The next morning James catches a trout, and cooks it over the fire for breakfast - the perfect camp meal. We paddle and portage back towards Rock Lake.

After battling strong winds and white cap waves we arrive at a site on D...

Mid July 3 day canoe camping trip in Algonquin Park We had a beautiful first day paddling to the lake where we would spend night 1, only to find a big group of people stationed at 'our campsite'. On a lake with only one bookable site, a place we had stayed before, we knew this was not a good sign. We tried to get their attention as we paddled along the shore. They awkwardly ignored us..

Great Job on the video and Wow what a transformation to the fire pit. Nice.
Absolutely amazing. Both have a great stemna. Guys I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak Gilgit-Baltistan Barah Valley. Add this sound in your bucket list.
😱 we’ve been in the Sierras but these suggestions sound maybe out of our capabilities 🤗 they look stunning though! My goodness would be a dream! I’m adding them to the bucket list, we will figure it out! 🫣😉
@@TwoPacksandaPup OMG thanks for your reply me and Himalayan sounds always welcome you guys
Spent the first half hour on a site on Teepee cleaning out the fire pit and surrounding area. Super frustrating. I couldn't do anything else until it was clean though. I know anyone watching this video wouldn't do anything like that. Just expressing my frustration. Worst part is it was the first day of a 4 day trip so I had to carry their crap the whole trip and all the way home. After the tidying was done, it was as beautiful a trip as always.... 🙂
Awe 😕 always a bummer, but we too can’t settle unless it’s clean. I think some folks researching camping could come across these videos and take a few things away. Let’s hope!
Great 3 days paddle with the pup, love the cliff lined lakes, pine lined campsites, and swim holes, keep rocking it!
Thank you! 😊😊 was a beautiful trip. It’s amazing how much beauty can be seen and fun had in just 3 days!
I was wondering if you two and Emma were still doing backcountry. Nice video 👍🏼 just got back today, 5 days on north Opeongo.
Very nice! 5 days on Opeongo is lovely ✨have to watch some camp videos when we get home to ..keep the good feels going.
i was pumped hearing that intro song! good job rebuilding the fire pit James. good vid, thanks for sharing
Nice! Haha that song feels like driving up to go camping for us now too. Was quite a good rebuild hey? Thanks for coming along and chatting
Fantastic as always. Will have questions after we watch it a couple more times. Cheers
Thank you! 🥰 glad you enjoyed coming along!
You have a lot of money if you can afford to bring your pets with you.
@@VladislavBabbitt no, it does not cost any extra to bring our dog. We just drive a few hours north from home.
really glad to have you back, you have been missed ❤😹
@@susansmeeton4321 awe that’s nice to hear 🥰 we miss the comments when we don’t have a new video also
Just inspiring, we love watching your videos together. Thank you for sharing, been preparing our canoe trip(s) and these videos, over the years, have offered inspiration..
We’re so happy to hear that the videos have been helpful!! 😀 thank you for sharing this with us. Happy tripping!
Great video, I stayed at that spot about 10 years ago! Love your dog. James seems a little... uh.... well, not very full of joy. Hope everything is okay with him.
Thanks Simon! James is ok, he was feeling a bit down by the state of the campsites on this trip.
We love your backpacks, they look so comfortable! What brand is it and where did you get it from?
@@albertfong9762 love them! They are the MEC Slogg 70 L
What a great way to start the week! Hope to see more videos of you guys.
Thank you so much! More coming! 😊
I really appreciate you two taking time out of your trip to talk about how to camp in the backcountry and keep these wonderful spaces clean for generations to come.
Thank you for the lovely comment 🙏❤️ Hoping he to help spread the word and keep these places clean.
@@TwoPacksandaPup it's important and great to see more responsible campers packing out others' trash, I wish there wasn't trash but if we all have to do our part wee can keep our backcountry clean. Thank you so much.
Missed you guys....so glad you all are back with new adventure...!
Thanks Jim! More coming
@@TwoPacksandaPup Can't wait!
It is nice to see you guys out there!!! Great video!!!
Thank you Kristin! 🥰
Welcome back Great video keep it up.
Thank you!!😀
Thanks for being good stewards of the land. You guys are shining examples of how to recreate responsibly. Now where’s that video of your California trip? 😊
Haha yes that video is long overdue!! It IS going to come out. Thanks for the high praise 🙏 we just hope to educate even one person per video who end up camping and not being messy 🫣
Nice to see a video from you guys . You're setting the standard with the baywatch swimsuit ( and the nails ).Its a great loop but i'd like to recommend a slight detour
Thanks Alex, ☺️ I’m blushing. What detour would you recommend? Were creatures of habit and like to ho back to the same places, so before we do, I’d like to know your suggestion 👀
@@TwoPacksandaPup Sent you an email about the detour
Great video. Definitely know how frustrating it is to see others leave garbage around the sites and trails. Nice to see another upload from the 3 of you. Hope to see more coming soon! 🍻 Take care
Thank you! Yes more soon ☺️
Best Monday morning in quite a while. I’m glad you’re back with a new video. Your videos are always so refreshing
Thanks Alan! Love making a Monday morning better 😃✨thanks for coming on the adventure!
Was just thinking that I hadn't seen a new paddling video from any of the folks I love to watch for a very long time and five minutes later up pops this. Thanks for taking us along.
Good timing!! 😄 thanks for coming along! ❤️
Our province with that little slice of heaven is awesome
It’s perfection 🥰
Nice adventure, but you must be young have enough power to do it, and also you need to have a free time for such adventure...in any way it is enjoyable to watch...
@@nikolamilicic9638 let us do the heavy lifting, and you can still enjoy the adventure 😃
Yay another Algonquin video ☺️ so excited to watch
This makes us happy 🥰 hope you enjoyed the trip with us!
Always enjoy spending some time with Emma!😁🐕 I’ve never been to Rock Lake. Someday… (we did a Kiosk loop last year.)
We’re happy to share her with everyone so she can spread smiles 😄 she seems to be good at that. Kiosk loop is lovely!
Nice to see a new video 👍 Beauty trout for breakfast. Good to see you guys demonstrating safe fire advice, there really are too many people not using the proper fire pit and especially not putting fires out. Just too much slovenly behaviour in general. I was up backpacking last week end and at my second campsite someone had left a ton of junk. A four person tent, a bunch of cheap gear and dollar store kids toys, and a stack of empty tin cans. Also a trail of used wet wipes leading to the thunder box 🤮 LOL, at Emma keeping an eye on that loon cruising by the campsite 😂
Oh no ☹️ very frustrating. Sorry you came across that. Really puts a damper on the good time. Some of these incidents I’m sure are from visitors who don’t care, but I’m convinced a lot of the undesired behaviour out in the parks comes from many folks simply not knowing. We figure if anyone who doesn’t know is watching, maybe we can help a little.
Great show tks so much for sharing 😊
Thanks for coming along!!
You may end up having to buy Emma a fishing license. Just to be safe.
😂😂 thank you for the belly laugh. She may end up out fishing us all
Have you managed to get out this year?
We’ve been out a couple of times, missed our spring trip but still got out in June and July! Have a backlog of editing
Thanks so much for the new vid! Perfect end to my day.
Happy to provide some Sunday evening entertainment! 😄
That is very nice place
So perfect ✨💕
I love Rock Lake!
It’s soo beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome video! Also great dog hat! I want to get one now 😀. I don’t know if anyone mentioned this but looks like Emma may have allergies - I recognize that foot and leg licking. My dog has both environmental and food allergies. The symptoms are different for each. When she had food she was allergic to, she would do the paw licking. I had to do an elimination diet. The problem was protein. She is allergic to chicken and beef so I have her on bison, venison and kangaroo and she’s doing great. This may or may not be the case with your dog but I wanted to raise it just in case. Keep making the great videos!
Awe thank you, yes totally get it. Goldens especially have a lot of allergies and sensitivities. We’ve figured out that she only does this when she is wet. No other time.. we see that she is always putting in an effort to dry herself when she’s wet, even though she does not think twice about getting wet haha. So far her Dr does not think she has any allergies. We will keep an eye on it though.
Hey there you three!!! I saw you posted on IG but I’m trying to ween myself off of everything but UA-cam when it comes to social. Maybe I should do it the other way around but who knows😂. Just wondering if you guys are going to be putting stuff up on the tube anymore?🥲. Miss you guys and hoping you’re having a good summer!! NQU
Smart to get off social media! Good for you. We will keep posting videos here. Just posted one last night. Hope to catch up on editing as I’ve got a few trips filmed that need to come out still. Thanks for stopping in to say hello!
just stumbled across your video and your channel. I watch a few folks who go canoe trip camping and it makes me want to get out there and do it.. maybe one day! what a great video -- loved it!
Awe thanks Shauna! Really happy that you enjoyed it! You should plan to give it a try, warning, it is addictive 😊
Very sexy 😂😂 more
Looked like an amazing trip out canoeing and camping
Was perfect! Thanks for coming along!
I just absolutely love your beautiful dog ❤
I told her, she is very happy and send her love back to you ❤️❤️❤️
amazing journey!
🙏 thank you for coming along!
you going to do some new shows ?
It’s been a min but we’ve got one out now!
Y, Didn't U Follow Ur Dogs Lead & Stay Wet By Swimming & Scooping Up Wayer In Ur Hat??? Ps Good Choice: I've Algonquined for 40++ yrs.
When Emma is wet, I am automatically wet as well 😀 sometimes it’s still hot 😂
When is the next trip?
We’ve got it out finally 😄 more soon!
We are doing out first back country trip just doing rock lake to lousia lake. What would you say is you guys favourite site on lousia lake? We have heard 17 is worth checking out.
Louisa is gorgeous, you can’t go wrong! We just posted a video of this exact route
What if...If then...Then what? Words to live by, cuz Life gives the Test first, and the Lesson after.
So very true. Always best to be prepared
We want another adventure video!
😂😂 thank you for the encouragement! This is the nicest comment. Motivational to get those videos edited 👌 It’s coming!
@@TwoPacksandaPup Sounds great and will connect with you soon.
from access point to dasiy how long did u paddle for
It’s a good, very light day. We arrived in under 2.5 hours
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.
Wonderful presentation. I visited Algonquin Park as an Explorer Scout when a boy over sixty five years ago. Grew up in Town Line, New York. Absolutely beautiful park. Emma is a very beautiful golden retriever. I see she is your constant companion and friend. Enjoy your canoeing adventures.
I’ll be on daisy lake next week! Do you remember which site this is?
Sorry! Got to this a bit late, hope you had an excellent trip !!
