What an amazing testimony of your dad right in God’s beautiful creation. Totally awesome bro
Thanks so much for commenting! Always great to hear encouraging feedback. Many blessings my friend!
Should make it a father son tradition. 🇨🇦 I love this video.
Great idea! Thanks for commenting and checking it out!
I'm enjoying this video in chunks. Very relaxing. Love God's creation..💕
Wonderful to hear! I know it's a bit long, but the other option is to break it up into 4 or 5 parts on my end which is a bit annoying and time-consuming! Thanks for watching and your positive feedback is very much appreciated! Many blessings,
I'm 61 and have a similar canoe (Northstar Northwind solo). I've never used a double blade paddle and don't think I ever will. These Ted Bell models paddle awesome. I'm a j stroker. Works for me. The lightweight and capacity just works for my style. I too don't care to do whitewater anymore. Great canoe.
Right on! It sounds as though you and I are very similar in our paddling philosophy! Blessings my paddling brother!
Looks amazing! Now I want to visit Temagami!🙂
You should! I can give you a few tips regarding where to park for what loop trip, etc. anytime! Thanks for watching!
I did Diamond lake last month - prior to that 22 years ago! You check my recent video/trip.
We did Lady Evelyn loop - 4 days such a majestic place
Thanks for sharing your journey!
Cheers
Wow - sounds a lot like me! I've never done Lady Evelyn but it's on my bucket list! Cheers,
Temagami is a wonderful area indeed. It was hard to see but i'd guess those were woolly aphids.
I researched wooly aphids and I'm thinking it's not them. These looked more like mini, slow house flies and almost none of them landed on anything other than my leg and my breakfast bun! I appreciate the view and the comment. Take care!
Great video, I live in Red Lake Ontario, so I’m a 20 minute drive to Johnson Lake put in at Woodland Caribou Park. That being said I find myself paddling/tripping in many of the water ways outside of the park as much as I’m inside the park. the whole area is beautiful not just in the park. My question is do you do go to crown land very often or do you stick to the parks. Not that WLPP is busy cause when I go I seldom see others but when I’m outside the park in the little bush lakes I never see others. Because I’m an old guy as well I bought a new canoe a couple years ago it’s a 16’ prospector kevlar fusion innegra it weighs 40 lbs and a lot easier to lug than my older boats. My next boat will not be a prospector although I love this one cause I can pack for 10 plus days with ease. Again because I am an old guy (58) I just want say thanks for sparing us your philosophy on the wilderness ( my wife and broke up when you did that) some of these youtubers definitely need to cut that part out, although they have some great videos I cringe when I have to hear some young guys thoughts on the vastness and beauty of our great outdoors. It’s like hey we all feel it too but hush! Lol anyway great video well done. Creation! God is great! Thanks
Wonderful to hear from you Dave! Yes, what you see is who I am - no acting! I envy your geographical location. I live in the middle of a vineyard and open farmland in Vineland, ON. Not exactly a wilderness paradise, but I do look forward to my treks up North each year. I almost ALWAYS use crown land because I honestly cannot afford $30 - $50 per night in a campground, and it bothers me on principle when I'm paying so much for a tiny piece of dirt to put my tent or hammock for one night with no services. That principle is magnified when I think that out of the nearly half a million square miles in Ontario more than half is just sitting there in pristine beauty ready to be camped on - and there are lots of sites too! ....for FREE! Hey, thanks for watching - I'm impressed you made it all the way through the end of day 4 to hear my ideas on philosophy! Blessings to you brother!
Appreciate all the knowledge as I am learning and beginning to start backcountry camping. I am confused about how you find a spot to park though at any random location and how you trust leaving your car for days alone. Do you park in an area with people around or is nobody around and it is completely remote. I would feel uncomfortable leaving my car so far away. Appreciate the video
Good question! The answer can be long and complicated, but here's my short answer that can help in your research. Many canoe areas have parking available for cottagers and campers. For example, the Temagami Access Road along the Northeast arm of Lake Temagami in Northern Ontario has a well-established parking lot at the water that dozens of cars use regularly and it's pretty safe as most paddlers are a respectful group of folks. There are parking areas along rugged roads at the North end of Lake Temagami off the Red Squirrel Access Road and all parking is free. Often, established camps will let you park for free or maybe for a small cost. There are public launches on fairly remote lakes like Dollars Lake near Grundy Lake Provincial Park. It's a large, free parking lot on the West end of the lake and lots of camping spots on the lake (also free). I use the free, public parking at Ess Narrows on Hwy 522 between Dollars Lake and Kawigamog Lake. Also, Fleming's Landing on Kawigamog offers free parking. There are many such locations at canoe areas across Ontario and beyond. Most locations can be theoretically vandalized, but I've never seen it happen since there are usually people coming and going, and normal people look out for the good of others. I have never been vandalized in over 40 years of parking in such areas. I hope that helps!
the hammock is $400+ my lord 🙃
Ya, it's priced much like a decent Hennessy but offers a lot more. It makes sense but nowadays everything is super pricey :(
@@ruggedoutdoorsguide9904 worth it for 1 min setup and its very light
Coupon code is 5% not 10%.
Correct. That changed and it was my fault I didn't catch that change before I did the video. At any rate, it's a bit of a price break and it was not meant to be a deception or false statement on my part. Cheers,
