Very enjoyable to watch. The story was good, canoe was interesting and I loved that you included the quote reading by your daughter. Thanks for sharing this.
KCHappyCamper I have two north bay Sportspal birchbark canoes (fully aluminum). That's as close as I'll ever be to having one. I'm extremely honored to have watched this. Keep up these kind of messages from time to time. This generation really needs to hear it every once in a while. I know I do anyways :-)
Thanks for this Kevin. Without the wilderness we would be devoid of spirit and sad. Even knowing that is exists keeps me happy and joyful . All that our creator has given us. Very refreshing video and whatever happens to all of the children of the earth happens to us. Without it we will die of lonliness and longing for our roots.
Great video! I loved the wonderful speech. By your daughter. I am trying to bring my children out more to the wild weather it be car camping or hiking in the back country. I hope this is something that they will pass on to their children many years from now.
Yeah man! I love the wood canoe you have. That thing is nice! I have a mad River explorer 14 but those wood canoes are nice and are you from Canada? I'm down here in South Carolina not far from North Carolina we have some lakes and rivers around that are nice to canoe and a nice lake to take the canoe out on a camping trip on a lake called tugalo
Hi Kevin! It's very similar to the one Ray Mears used in the episode that he interviewed you in. Watching this make my French Canadian roots want to come out. Very inspiring! It makes me each to paddle again. Cheers!
The quote is great and the fact that your daughter picked up on it is a testimonial to you and your wife. Whose quote is it? I was unable to pick up the source in the video. I enjoy your introspection in this video, but I enjoy your all of your videos. Hope to see you on the water sometime.
Just stumbled upon your channel and love it. I have been to a great deal of provincial parks but never interior camped. Currently have broken foot so canoeing this year thru you and your channel...thanks for uploading all of your trips :)
I've commented here before. I like to paddle long distances,, weeks or months. I despise the classic 5 day 'vacation'. To be in the wilderness,, and yet having to maintain a schedule,, you have an appointment next Tuesday, is anathema to being in the wilderness. I go not for the adventure,, the challenge,, I go and take paperback books,, to read.. I go to look around,, silence, and hear my own breath going in and out, the stars moving in their circle at night,, coyotes , a many voice chorus in bright moonlight, observe an ant carrying food, a big horn sheep click clacking on a rock face. I leave the phone at home. I tell people I'll call in July. I do not normally paddle on rain days,, I don't feel the need to press on in the rain,, and I would miss the percussion tempo on the tarp above,, it is a beautiful sound,,, mated with a hot coffee,, a paperback book,, and that most precious element of the wilderness,, time.
Well done. Not accustomed to your serious side but great message and an awesome canoe. Planning to build a skin on frame canoe soon and perhaps trial it out on the BWCA. Be well
That was marvelous Kev!... Congratulations also on Fatherhood!
- Looking forward to more...?
Stunning even 7 years later. Here's to a good paddle in quiet waters for us all.
Very enjoyable to watch. The story was good, canoe was interesting and I loved that you included the quote reading by your daughter. Thanks for sharing this.
You do but how can you not with all that is going on in the world. Beautiful canoe and scenery...thank you for sharing.
I really like your comment "too many are trying to survive in the wilderness rather than learning to live with it." Great observation and video.
Wow Kevin! What an awesome message and perfect canoe to give this message. Very proud to of watched
Thanks. I love that canoe

The audio is terrific. So is the message!

The wilderness is the second place my heart belongs to Wonderful video
Nice Video! You see so much more when you sit back and watch the world go by.
Makes for a much more enjoyable trip.
Nice one Kevin, a beautiful reminder for us to worry less, and Kyla reciting the verse makes it all the more profound too, lovely!...Atb Nige
That boat is gorgeous.
I love it! Much love for my Cherokee ancestors!
So glad you saw this one.

Thanks very much for your videos, i think your channel is my favourite stop of the day.
Here's a new video. Enjoy. I little more serious this time...
Kevin you are so right with this one
It's a nice change to see your more serious side. More please. Great video!
Excellent ! Thanks
Lovely video Kevin (and Tim). Thanks.
Beautiful, Kevin! Thank you. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment Christopher
Super!! lots of thumbs up--thats the Kevin we know and love.
Hi Kevin! It's very similar to the one Ray Mears used in the episode that he interviewed you in. Watching this make my French Canadian roots want to come out. Very inspiring! It makes me each to paddle again. Cheers!
Definitely something worth talking about. Thank you
What a great film Kevin! Beautiful narration.
Wish that was longer.....👍
It's wise for people who love nature to take time to save it. It's also wise to take time to enjoy it. You can't walk far on an empty tummy.
Beautiful canoe, I want one!
Great video and well said.
Cool beans Kevin, that is certainly a gorgeous canoe! I like the looks of that frost river canvas as well!
Good trip, good canoe, good packs, good story ;)-
Great video Kev!!
Keep spreading the message Kevin! It was nice meeting you in person at the OAS
The rocks looked similar to some in Killarney Provincial Park.

Keep the videos coming! Love them all, makes me want to get out more and more! Algonquin here I come!
Thanks for some "thoughfullness", I as well tend to worry too much. Keep up the good work. Atb/Layjay

Great video....thanks
The stove is a Trangia alcohol stove. The last few trips I've combined it with my Kelly Kettle hobo stove. It's a lightweight and good match

Trangia Alcohol stove
Love the canoe
#billmason #beckymason
Nice
Very nice vid. Love the images you composed.
On an unrelated note: What was the brand of your canoe pack?
Frost River, made in Duluth US. I have the portage pack, kitchen pack and timber cruiser. I highly recommend them.
wow they have some nice things. But you clearly pay for it...
Nice video! What kind of hat is that?
Beautiful. But missing the goofyness we all expect from Kevin.
🏁👍💪👍💪👍💪👍💪👍💪👍💪👍💪🏁
can you tell us on which river this was filmed?
I really like your comment "too many are trying to survive in the wilderness rather than learning to live with it." Great observation and video.
