Trying to find the happy medium!

Wow, that is amazing! I hope to be able to work up to longer solo trips now that I have built some confidence and complete a loop or longer adventure. Thank you for your kind words and for watching. Happy paddling!

Thank you! It takes about 10-15 minutes.

Thank you for watching! My morning snowshoes with the dogs is the highlight of my day!

If you are looking for a coffee pot, you can get them at Salvation Army or your local thrift store! It is part of our slow weekend routine.

Yes, Kleenex saved the day! Thanks for watching ❤

Thank you as always for watching ❤

He sure is! 🥕

Well I think it messed with them because Hugh was crowing after dark, so we will just use it when it is butter cold. Thanks for watching ❤

Hi Stephanie! Thank you for your message and for watching. I’ve watched all of your videos and actually watched your solo video just after I had booked mine, so definitely drew inspiration from you! Keep up the great work out there and hopefully one day our paths will cross! Would love to pick your brain about the Meanest Link!

@ ok that’s so cool!! I definitely felt a kinship with you watching your video. I’m absolutely honoured to be part of your inspiration to get out there! I just discovered your channel and I’ve been checking out your homesteading stuff too. Very cool and interesting stuff! I am ALWAYS happy to talk about the Link. I am a tad obsessed with that canoe route. I feel like it was a life changing trip for me

Literally I said to Brian after we came in "We forgot the TimTam slam!" I don't have a good excuse other than I forgot I had them!

Thanks for watching! You are right, ZERO regrets!

Hi Perry (I hope that assumption is right!) Thanks for watching and for your kind words. Exciting that you are on the hunt for a new canoe, you are lucky to live so close to one of the best paddling destinations in Ontario. I'm glad to hear you are on the mend from your surgery. Life is a gift and it sounds like you are making the best of each day! My canoe is a Swift Prospector 14, it is a Kevlar Fusion with Carbon Kevlar trim and a multi-height seat pod (which I love) it allows you to sit higher or lower in the boat depending on conditions and preference. It weighs about 35lbs and is easy to paddle and portage. Because you live so close to the Park, I would recommend doing what I did, visit the Swift store just outside the Park (beside Algonquin Outfitters) and talk to Karmen, she is a wealth of knowledge and helped me select the best boat for me. I wanted a prospector because of the stability and load capacity, but there are so many options out there, so if you can wait until spring/summer you can go to the store and book a test paddle to try out all of the options before purchasing. Let me know what you land on and happy paddling!

It sure does, can't see anything sitting on the couch! Always appreciate you for watching!

Thanks so much for watching! It is awesome that you are so close to Lake Simcoe, part of the struggle is just getting there for us! I would recommend trying to find someone to go out with first so you can see what you need and learn tips and tricks. First, we need some ice! You'll need an ice fishing rod and tackle, and you can buy minnows in a few places around the lake. We have built up our set-up over the years, but you can get going with just a few things. If you don't have a hut or windscreen, go out on a sunny day with no wind, it will be a better experience. Canadian Tire usually has some good deals for equipment. Happy fishing!

Thank you so much for watching! We combined different ideas from others designs we liked and it works well. The only thing we would try to do differently if we were to build another one, is to make it easier to get into, but otherwise it works great!

He is the best!

I boil them for 10 minutes at a rolling boil.

Yes, he is named after Hugh because he gave him to me as a day-old chick and he was such a cool guy I couldn't resist! The chick wagon was a covid project, but is actually pretty great.

She is a standard Rex, great breed of rabbit with the softest fur!

Thank you so much! ☺️

If you have a colony set up, they will likely have more room to roam and venture out on their own, it is mostly removed at 17 days because it will start to smell and get dirty and by that time they are ready to be out with Mom.

Did you plant yours?

I think so too! Just have to be brave and go for it!

Thank you for watching, great question! Canoe allows me to pond-hop or portage and travel between lakes easily whereas that is much more difficult (but not impossible) with a kayak. Different boats for different types of travel. The big Agnes is VERY comfortable and honestly is my preference between the two. Happy tripping!

Yes, it sure does suds up! The recipe is key. You have to be exact with your ingredients and measurement. The suds are the same as any other soap I’ve used.

Thanks so much for getting back to me! We’re looking forward to trying your recipe, thank you. All the best!

Thank you so much for watching and your words of encouragement. It was definitely the trip of a lifetime and less scary than I thought!

More about that gorgeous canoe and paddle please 🙏

@@karisumner4709​​⁠ canoe is a Swift 14 ft Prospector. I absolutely love it! My traditional canoe paddle is a Ray Kettlewell who has since sold to Fishell Paddles. Ray used to live in our area and he made us custom paddles from a cherry tree we took down and milled. My carbon shaft double blade is a Werner (also purchased at Swift). Thanks for watching and happy tripping!

@ the Swift is gorgeous and the paddles just add to the overall package 😍

Learned the foil trick from a friend and it works great, we used to find a flat pizza stone which also works great! I love our outback oven, but only really use it to bake desserts. Try the foil trick, works like a charm.

Quick pickle was delicious and definitely my favourite besides fresh in a stirfry!

Well that water would be bone-chilling cold! Thank you for watching!

@@davida463 I film with my iPhone 13 and a DJI action 4. I would love to upgrade one day but camera equipment is expensive! Thanks for watching!

Oh yes, you definitely should! I hadn't been in for about 10 years and have reignited my love for this magical place!

Thank you for watching, hope you have an awesome trip!

We actually didn't paddle the Barron Canyon, but hope to one day!
