    I used to go canoe camping once a year when I was younger for 8-10 days at a time. My favourite trip we ever did was to the interior of Killarny park. Second to that, I love the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park and the Temagami area. Your videos are giving me that itch to get out there again one of these days (Health concerns to get under control first). You've really opened my eyes to how many incredible places are out there that I haven't seen yet!
    The whole situation with your lip swelling up and having some absolutely hysterical moments with your friends are a great example of memories created you won't forget. A hilarious story you can recount in the future.
    One of my personal favourite experiences was on the trip through Killarny park, there was a forest fire on the mountain a short distance across the lake from us. Portaging into the lake, we met a group of firefighters resting along the portage trail, and we hike through the smokey forest carrying our gear. They said we were safe if we stuck to the trail and stayed on the opposite site of the lake. We had a great view of the fire from our site that night. I can't remember the name of the lake, (it might've been Nellie lake). I remember you could see straight to the bottom from the middle of the lake, it was incredible. We got to watch the fire on the mountain all night, with the lights flickering across the lake. In the next day or two, we climbed Silver Peak, and watched water bombers in action from there, as they replenished their tanks on one of the lakes below us and were dumping them on the fire.
    Appreciate your content Xander, keep doing what you love.

Canoe down. Next shot. Unbelievable. Same with some of the river shots. Great work. Beautiful video of your wonderful lakes and rivers. From Down Under.

    Ive been watching your content for years now, and I can see a huge improvement in the videos. This video especially, felt like I was watching a national geographic movie. Hard work is really paying off man, keep it up... Love from Ontario (Ottawa)

    Xander, dude....I am so glad to see your lip swelling went down! I have to be honest I laughed so hard, but also felt bad for you man. That had to suck! Glad it wasn't anything too serious! I love the dynamic between you and Jon in these videos. Thank you both so much for all the hard work! On a side note, I hope to be in your neck of the woods next year, a buddy of mine just got back from a trip up there this week. Take care, and keep on keeping on!
