  • My wife Thais and I embarked on a two-week canoe camping trip starting in Rossport, Ontario, Canada, to explore the ethereal Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area. Along the way, we came across signs of the Midcontinent Rift, the largest known failed rift in the world, where North America nearly tore itself apart, ultimately forming Lake Superior.

Your footage as always brings me to the places I long to be away from the everyday hustle. Frolicking otters, the ever ethereal loons that I love so much and all the wildlife, Superior’s breathtaking magnificence…so special. And your Thais certainly can fish 😉💕 It’s good to see you back out where you belong👊🏻Thank you Max! B

    Love watching your videos ever since you started your own channel always enjoyed the times that you spent with your brother on his channel and when you finally started your old adventures, I look forward to watching your videos with both my daughters and my wife. It’s better than watching a movie on television. We open up our UA-cam app on our smart TV and we sit down as a family and watch you and your brother‘s adventures in the great Canadian North. We also love going on our mini adventures but it is difficult. We do have a four year-old so it is hard to go on long adventures but my oldest daughter who is 9 1/2 loves going on canoe trips with me thank you Max for all your hard work!!!!

    I so enjoy your videos, as you guys are kind of science nerds like me. Given all of my orthopedic issues, I doubt that I'll ever get to visit these wild places and find the agate and the low-bush blueberries like that. (We have huckleberries, but they're usually small, and you have to fight the ticks and chiggers for them, not to mention the poisonous snakes.) I do have to make a bird ID correction, and it might be a life bird for you. At around the 48 minute mark, you labeled a bird a Northern Rough-winged Swallow, but it was actually an Alder Flycatcher. Belonging to the empidonax family, they are fairly hard to ID unless they are singing, which this one was. We get them in fall migration here in the middle US. Thanks for taking me along!!!

      O Thank you for the correction! By the time I get around to naming the wildlife in my videos I am usually thoroughly exhausted by the edit and don't spend as much time as I should confirming everything. I will put a note in the description with your correction. Thanks for your valuable insights!

    That weird noise on the beach you heard in the night, sounded a bit like fox to me. I'm in UK and it reminds me of the foxes I hear in the woods where I live. But I'm certainly no expert on Canadian animals, I only know what I see from your and similar channels (which I am addicted to!). Another beautiful film with beautiful people and places. Thank you.

      Yes it has come to my attention that it was a red fox. So you are right. I have seen many foxes before but never have heard them make that noise. Thanks for watching!

      ​@@maximbudnick Yes, I too was going to advise it was a red fox. I live near a River & hear their cries like that. Sometimes even twice as loud as that, but it's scary as they sound in such distress! Anyhow, Maxim Thank You; for bringing all of us along! Your L. Superior trip was literally Superior! I swear, all the wildlife; birds, otters, porcupines, animals come out to greet you on your adventures! What an awesome eye you have to capture their beauty & Thank you for sharing it all with us, as I appreciate it fully! I'm very sorry for your loss of your Grandpa & I do hope your trip brought you some Peace in your heart. I'm sure you felt him watching over you & your wife while you were paddling & enjoying nature at its finest. I just ❤ your Videos, thoughts, history & insights you share. Missed ya & glad you're back at it. ❤🙏✨ E

    This was your best yet. The videography was terrific, especially those wonderful close ups of flowing water.
    It was nice to see you being more relaxed with talking to the camera, showing more of your personality.
    We're sorry to hear about your grandfather. He sounds like a wonderful man.
