    Proceeding into deteriorating conditions is a real thing; that is how some people die. Turning back was a good idea.

    I never would have thought there would have been ice! It had been such a warm February for us. Looks like you guys really made the best of it, can't complain about an island all to yourselves. :)

      You guys are welcome to borrow Big Red and stay on WayofTheRoad island if you'd like anytime ! We are stoked for Sunday for the TrailsofRoo debut !

    I'm previously from Ontario as well. This trip did have the cottage country feel. It made me miss home a little bit.

    I totally got the Ontario vibes at the beginning I forgot this was in BC lol! Like the western half of Ontario, it's a completely different province up there, much easier to escape the cottages, but much harder to go to town for groceries! I spent a few months in Kenora district 2 summers ago it was so epic, the wildlife, the fishing...
    When you said canoeing the Yukon with dogs I knew it was gonna be Canoe the North 😂 love them.

    • @wayoftheroads
      @wayoftheroads  10 місяців тому +1

      Right?! And of course, we love northern Ontario. We will be back to do some trips hopefully in the fall! Would love to do Nipigon or some trips around Superior..
      Canoeing the Yukon River wasn't on our list of to-do's but it definitely is now ! Haha thanks again for being here. Cheers

    This video came up in my feed this morning. Why am I just finding out about you guys now? lol Your pup is gorgeous! I would die to see Elk on a trip, that was pretty epic. And I agree that that route had an Ontario vibe to it. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to scrolling through the rest of your videos. Cheers, Rob.

      Hey Rob, that's awesome man, thanks for tuning in! Going to check out your Algonquin trip at some point this weekend. As beautiful as it is out here I've been eager to do a big Algonquin portage trip soon. The elk were super cool, pretty large creatures when you're in close proximity. Cheers 🍻

    Great video guys! just subscribed to your channel. Welcome to the Island! That canoe route is on our bucket list. fyi when the weather warms up, it gets very busy. There is also another canoe route over in Powell river. Cheers, Greg and Erin

    • @wayoftheroads
      @wayoftheroads  10 місяців тому +1

      Thanks guys ! Appreciate that. I've heard that about the route.. that's why we attempted it in February.. but we picked the weekend after that cold sunny week we had a while back haha. We took the ferry to Powell a few months ago and noticed a whole bunch of trucks with canoes on the roof, then realized there's a pretty sweet route to do over there.. so now that's on our list as well ! So many adventures.. so little time lol thanks for watching. Cheers !

    • @wayoftheroads
      @wayoftheroads  10 місяців тому +1

      Hey man ! Welcome back. The song at the end is Five Tribes by Hunter Quinn. Diesel is great, foot was fine, we think he just cut it a little bit on some of the ice but he was more so just being a big baby about it lol... Cheers Brandon!

      Absolutely! Love those channels. They've actually been big inspirations behind our backcountry canoe videos! After watching Jon's videos, we're especially excited to paddle more of the Ontario lakes we hadn't had the chance to do when we lived there :)

    I crashed my Mavic Mini a handful of times. Once across a river in the rain like you, and once I got it fully submerged in a creek. Dried it out both times, and it worked totally mint. It finally met it's demise when I flew it straight to the bottom of Slocan Lake. That's a great place for a canoe trip too, if you're looking for ideas.

    • @wayoftheroads
      @wayoftheroads  8 місяців тому

      We will definitely look into Slocan Lake.. hopefully it won't be where our drone also meets it's demise 😅. Can't believe how resilient those things are!
