We Bought A Used Canoe! - Northern Algonquin Canoe Trip: Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2018
- We bought a used #Swift Prospector 16 at the Georgian Bay Swift store on our way up to the far north of #Algonquin Provincial Park! In part 1, I showcase the canoe and put it to the test on our way to North Tea Lake. We also set up camp on a GORGEOUS campsite with a 180 degree view over North Tea Lake.
Launching out of Kawawaymog Lake and headed east, it was an easy ~3 hour paddle with only two small portages; a great option for someone looking to relax while experiencing what Algonquin Park has to offer!
I also show some Canadian style paddling, an awesome solo technique in which you can showcase your skills. Heeling the canoe at an extreme angle to increase the rocker of the canoe, you can really dig in deep with your paddle while the canoe provides excellent feedback for each minute change of #paddling technique. Though I would not suggest this on extremely windy or wavy lakes, it's really fun to practice some advanced canoe paddling techniques on some calm water, or it's a great way to paddle through winding rivers solo.
You can also apply many of the techniques used in Canadian style canoe paddling to tandem paddling; first practicing Canadian style to feel how each stroke affects the canoe, then applying that knowledge to tandem paddling whether you are in the bow or the stern.
...
If you are in the market for a canoe, or a kayak for that matter, I highly suggest checking out what Swift has to offer. Canadian made, they have been tried and tested, through the help of Algonquin Outfitters, with their massive rental fleet. In my opinion, there's no better way to test the quality and durability of a canoe than that!

If you'd just like to test a Swift canoe, Algonquin Outfitters has a massive selection to choose from. You can rent the model you desire and they will even deliver it to a few access points. They will even rent you any and all gear you'd need to go on your very own backcountry adventure into Algonquin Park!

Have you ever heard of Canadian style canoeing? Look up Bill Mason Path of the Paddle - Solo Basic to see a master!
Of course Ive heard of Bill Mason!!! He is the man!!! His son Paul is pretty beast mode too...
Yeah! Paul and Becky Mason have definitely inherited their father's knowledge. 👍
It's Awesome to see someone your age so passionate about backcountry canoe camping.
My hard work has afforded me two beautiful Swift 🛶 🛶, and your damn right it feels good!!

Awesome canoe! We also found the best campsite we've ever had this summer. Life is good.
haha glad that you got the shot and didn't lose the camera! Love going canoeing, enjoy yours! We used to have our own and loved it! Great edit and transitions also!
New subz here. Friend of a friend!!!
Hey thanks! Welcome and thanks for stopping in to leave me a comment. I really appreciate it 💪🇨🇦
Looks so fun!!
Great Vid! Congrats on the new canoe.... they can be pricey but well worth it. Was a nice site on Tea Lake, despite the climb up, the view you had was awesome!
Yup for sure, for something that will last decades, it's a great investment instead of renting all the time. Thanks for watching! 💪🇨🇦👍
Great video man. That canoe looks like the bomb. That place looks like a real nice spot and a real beauty day, never been there myself. Nice canoe dance 😄Great editing my friend
Thanks buddy, I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by and watch. Was definitely a beauty day, couldn't ask for better weather. Cheers 💪👋
StefOutside not a problem good sir. Least I could do. You post em I’ll watch em
Love the videos, found your channel just recently. Keep them comming! Im from Ontario as well hope to see ya out there sometime.
Thanks, I really appreciate it! Another fellow Ontarian eh? Good stuff, I'll keep an eye out haha
So are Swift canoes worth the hype? 😊
Hey who knows haha. It is beautifully crafted, paddles and portages like a dream, but we'll see as the years go on. Wouldn't be able to afford this thing full price for sure lol.
They are worth all the hype 100%. Its worth waiting for a canoe sale and buying used
Oh man love the portage cam! Great channel guys, adding our support to a fellow N. Ontarian!
Lol i still cant believe we own that canoe. After. Watching this video i want to get in it so badly! Like every video . Each one is getting better! We shouls probably be more mindful of level shots. But i doubt its a big deal.
What model Swift canoe is it and length?
U guys are making me wanna reach the next one 👀
Reach man, it's LIT 👌 Bugs are gone, still warm out, and we make some next food now. Otherwise, next year for sure 👍👌
Great video! We came in via Pusa Studios live stream earlier today .We like your channel so we joined hit the bell and the like. We will look forward to watching more on your Channel Cheers from Australia

Sweet Canoe for sure. Bill and the boys make some great vessels. Gonna get me a packer canoe for solo tripping
Love this..".just went shopping and......bought a canoe...".lol so funny...it is indeed a beautiful specimen of a canoe...totally agree. She is a beauty indeed my friends. Brings back wonderful memories seeing the river of my camping days. You guys are so lovely ...just off to admire our wonderful canoe! lol, Such a great spot you picked, I am envious.Really enjoying binge watching your content. :-)
That makes me so happy to hear haha, you are the best! I'm glad you are enjoying the videos, comments like yours really lift my spirits. Thanks so much for the support, I'll try to make the next video even better for ya! 💪🇨🇦👍
Nice boat Brother! Looks like mint condition.
Good price??
Yeah, we couldn't find anything but a few scratches. Really lucked out!
Hey, great video. Very intriguing content. You should try to connect with Doug Outside on UA-cam. He’s from Ontario too and does very well for himself. My wife is friends with his daughter. But yours and his videos are very similar. Doing a collab video would do you greatly
Man, that would be AWESOME! I love Doug's videos, he's actually a huge part of why I started to do this UA-cam thing in the first place. I actually didn't even think about how similar my channel name was to his until it was too late (I was going for a 'step outside/get outside' kinda thing, a co-worker suggested it.) I'd honestly be honoured if Doug even so much as watched one of my videos, I'd just feel awkward trying to promote my own content to him; I'm sure he gets a lot of people doing that every day, being a big channel and all. Maybe he'll notice me one day haha... Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it! 👍
