Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2024
- This week kicks off in Ontario after crossing over from Quebec. As I travel west through Canada in my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, I discover a great dispersed campsite en route to Missinaibi Provincial Park. At Missinaibi, I spend a day on the lake in my Kokopelli Pack Raft, and then continue west to Lake Superior, where I do some exploring and enjoy an amazing campsite at Agawa Bay.

"Just as a reminder " : We love you Chris !
👍👍 another AWESOME throw back vid.
I grew up in the bush been on lots of back roads thanks for showing up these camp grounds agawa campground been to all these along Lake Superior people just have no idea
I live in eastern Ontario and used to live in Quebec. You're trips to Canada are inspiring! So much land, so little time.
You are in a very special place, Chris! I camped out of a canoe for a week in Missinaibi, 29 years ago, with my then wife. It was great, except for the fishing. The Caddis Flies were hatching EVERWHERE, and so there was too much food for the fish! Luckily, we brought enough food with us to last us the entire week!
Eight weeks is fine if you are 17 years old. Take it easy on that foot before you make it worse again. Physiotherapists call what you are doing " too much too soon " - take heed.
That lake at the beginning where you drive alongside the beaver dam and the lake level is right at your shoulder-head level , and the water is leaking underneath the dam on the the track.....well... I was there 3 years ago , about 100 ft or so up the track , the direction you were heading is an entrance at the base of a small hill to your right , you go up the hill and there is a camp spot right on the lake , pretty cool secluded spot.
Wow to bad you couldn't have done Route de nord , and the Trans Taiga , and all tracks in-between in norther Quebec...some beautiful remote wild camping spots there. There are quite a few north of Lake Superior as well....so many tracks , so little time lol !! Cheers Wild Bill Overloading the Arctic watershed and Taiga of Northern Ontario and Northern Quebec. Never stop exploring.
Good plans,Chris. 👍
Love your videos the scenery of such beautiful places.. Makes me want a cool Rubicon jeep to travel abroad 😄👍🏽
I watch a lot of this stuff I found yours very interesting thanks love the outdoors
Great cinematography.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Completely agree. Sept is that perfect window. Great temps, less rain, and no bugs as you mentioned. Keep on truckin ✌✌
Currently I'm living in Western Northern Minnesota a few mile south of Manitoba but will be heading to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and then the North Shore of Lake Superior this weekend. I know you'd love the Minnesota/Michigan Superior coast just as much as it's even nicer than Ontario if that's possible. I got to get one of those rafts for me and the dog, looks like great fun as we miss our 14' Old Town that just can't come with us on the RV.
All around lake superior is just amazing, glad you made it up this way
In answer to your comment at 4:20, I believe that your camera stabilization was working quite well. It would be great if you would show us your camera equipment, as I'd be interested in buying something similar. Keep up your great work Chris.
Fabulous video. Have been going to big miss park since 1998 .its like my second home. Thank you for the wonderful video of the lake and the dock etc.
From Ontario myself, so nice to see areas to visit. Thank You!
Absolutely beautiful scenery Chris. Yes, get Orangie a checkup while you're getting a foot checkup. 2 birds with one stone. These recent videos have been awesome.
Perfect time of the year there - ( & no bugs ? Excellent )
You are in “Canadian Shield” country, which continues along the north shore of Superior into Minnesota, and around into the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It is incredibly beautiful the whole way!
The Canadian Shield is one of the oldest parts of this planet you can access. It is 4.28 billion years old, while the whole planet is 4.543 billion years.
Thank you, Sir!
You bet!
Damn - I miss these Canadian camp grounds!
Great video as always.
FYI, Agawa Bay Campground is right off Highway 17 and is the only trucking route from Sault St. Marie to Wawa. If camping there, be sure to get a site as close to the lake as possible. Only accept an outer edge site by the highway if you enjoy listening to the roar of continuous truck traffic all night long.
Beautifully captured
Just visited Mackinaw, Sault Ste Marie, Pictured Rocks National Seashore( Grand Marius) Lake Superior is stunning and yes this time of year is a sweet spot
My 1st vehicle was a 1980 CJ7. The rear taillight seemed to like to eat my gas cap. I began to ask every gas station I stopped at if they found a gas cap recently, and they typically would all just hand me a small box of caps to see. Not going to lie, one summer I did build up a 2-3 cap supply, which as I write this I feel a bit glutonous.
🙏. ⚓️ ☀️ 🚘 🏕 🤠
Really enjoyed your video.
Beautiful scenery. Can't wait until your next adventure.
Orangey and a plate of Ragu with a side of spaghetti noodles...classic.
Another great videos always. I'm glad you enjoyed Ontario.👍👍🙂🇨🇦🔥
its always great to see you & orangey back on the road, searching for adventure, your videos and narration are always very calming, inspiring and awesome, keep exploring and stay safe... hope to one day catch you on the trails..
Beautiful country! Thanks for the video.
Beautiful area Chris. Love the sights and sounds. Stay safe buddy. See you next week.
You were not in "eastern" Ontario; this region is part of northern Ontario. Eastern Ontario is where I live down at Lake Ontario well east of Toronto. Lake Superior is an amazing shore all the way around.
The lost gas cap is a large evaporative loss,and will set a check engine light for evapping too much fuel,so when the CEL illuminates,you know what it is.
Your popping sound is the front control arm bushings that are probably bad. I’ve had the exact same thing on my truck and am getting it fixed.
Defiantly the perfect time there, I can only imagine the bugs in summer. Late summer early fall is the best.
definitely*
@@jiggsjohnson7279 Thanks teach
Great video thank you!
Super pictures,super part.Greting from Poland.
Hi Chris your engine hesitation could be the gas pedal potentiometer it can have a dead spot and the spot is not open enough to trigger a code but large enough to give an hesitation from a 32 years expériences retired mecanic. cheers Sylvain
a great vid . Thanks once again for coming up through Canada eh
I had that hesitation issue with my jeep at low speed. It turned out it was a gummed up camshaft position sensor. I cleaned it up and seemed to take care of the issue
Great video. Sorta of thinking about doing an American/Canada tour after your videos. Dont push the foot! These things (bones and the stuff attached) take time to really heal properly.
Absolutely great chronicle, this is areas I'm longing to visit.
The nature in itself is highly reminiscent of my home country, mid/northern Sweden but a little bit more rugged as far as rock shapes and mountain range style goes.
In contrast to this, no need for backcountry permits to camp here - allowed almost everywhere for a night as long as it isn't in someone's front yard and you aren't littering or destructive.
The hesitation could be a coil pack or spark plug or combination of both.... I haven't delt with newer jeeps but those are symptoms I've dealt with on Ford and Nissan and it does seem to be common on Jeep from a little search online.....
Good luck and enjoy following you on your travels.
Chris , Roam automotive Repairs in Munising Michigan may be able to help u with your Jeep if your traveling thru the U.P. Of Michigan.
This weekend in Copper harbor In the U.P. Roar overland had a big weekend which they do every year . Lots of great areas to wonder around in da Upper peninsula!
Mike, thanks for the info. I’m in the Copper Harbor area this weekend, so it’s good to know a good place to go if trouble arises.
Very nice episode. Disappointed that you back out of trying to get up towards Hudson's Bay. Understandable but keep on keeping on.
With the gas cap missing don't be surprised when your check engine light comes on probably will have a code with something to do with a evap leak
Chris, here is a possibility concerning the jeep hesitation. Do you tend to notice the hesitation when going up/down hills or when accelerating. If so you could be looking at a sporadic wire harness issue. I ran into a similar problem years ago in a jeep Cherokee. The harness coming through the fire wall had warn through and at certain points would effect acceleration especially noticed when heading up/down hill or if I was really pushing the peddle. An old timer checked it out and sure enough some of the wires within the harness were rubbed raw and grounding out from time to time causing a hesitation. This took me over a year to get worked out, but after the harness was replaced all was good. Your rig has plenty of punishment logged. Check this out.. good luck
Geography in Ontario in Toronto-centric. Northern Ontario for many Torontonians is anything two hours north of the city by car, but most other people consider the French River as the north-south demarcation point. Agawa Bay and Missinaibi are considered to be in northern Ontario. Eastern Ontario is generally everything east of the Greater Toronto Area and south of the Ottawa River. (It's much like New York State where just about everything other than New York City and Long Island is called "Upstate" New York.
I am big fan sir from India
wow! I canoe tripped the Missinaibi River to Matice Ont.....
I’ve done that before too , Buy two gas caps , always have a spare
Hi from Ontario. I've followed you for more than a few years. We would say Lake Superior is in N.W Ontario, not eastern. Lake Superior is kinda split down the middle, south shore USA, upper Mich. and north shore, Ontario.
If you're coming through Thunder Bay say hi!
I experienced the surging problem in my JK with only 36,000 miles on it. It might be your catalytic converter
The popping/clicking noise is most likely a loose ball joint.
Yay!
Youre in north central Ontario up there lol. Eastern is Kingston area
❤
Go easy on the pasta Chris.... know what I'm sayin'....
I fractured my arm right by my elbow joint in late March. I still feel it every day still and it was sore four months later. I'm 54 years old.
I forgot to put my cap back on after filling up with a jerry can at a rest area and had all sorts of issues till I caught it and put in back on. After an undetermined miles it straighten out. I thought my transmission was failing out between Van Horn and El Paso, needless to say what a relief that it was just a un capped tank.
Depends on the system but some gas tank caps seal the system to maintain pressure. The Check Engine Light came on in the middle of nowhere and was because a full-service gas station attendant didn't put the cap on properly.
@@ScubaSteveCanada 2012 wrangler and it is pressurized.
Chris, when did you move to Texas and why? License plates are about where you’re from, …it’s part of the the conversation.
How many windshields has Orangey had replaced in your travels? Hands down the most annoying part of over-landing these things.
Hi Chris ! Quick question : how many miles does Orangie have now ?
Thanks for your reply and for all those nice videos !
I believe he said in an earlier video, about 200 thousand miles
Chris, will you be at the Overland Expo East?
Lake Superior is north western ontario ottawa is eastern ontario, southern ontario is toronto, south western london
I’d try a new MAP sensor . No fuel cap will trigger a code
New Peak Design tripod?
👍️👍️👍️👍️👍️👍️🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
Was your van parked in Pembroke at the Gas bar?
I like you a lot Chris, also the Canadian freedom truckers!
Smartest mosquitoes live in Nipigon Ontario; fyi.
Eight weeks is nothing and you're not 20 years old. I had a "minor" knee surgery in mid January to remove some broken off cartilage and now, eight MONTHS later, I would say I'm 90% of normal. Chill out and take it easy, Chris.
can you share your ontario location campsite pls
It’s all available in Patreon.
Get forearm crutches! You'll be forever grateful!
Please sir answer me
Chris doesn't usually have the time to answer any comment, let alone yours specifically. It's the way it is with this channel.
Does he have a drone? I bet he had his phone up to his head while fueling
Was there a bath 🛁 in the bathroom 🚽?

He would shit his self if a wind would have come up. And made that kayak blow away
Did you guys have to get vaxxed and / or tested to be crossing over & moving around in CA etc?
you are pronouncing "Missinaibi" incorrectly....Phonetically its MISSINOBI as in door knob missiNOBi
You need to learn how to " Fish " your killing me, all that great water in front of you, just fish...
Why did you film so little of this trip? Three 20 minute episodes to cover three weeks? I was really looking forward to this series after watching your previous Quebec series. It was a little disappointing to be honest.
