Too bad the access is so busy now. In the 80s and 90s we rarely saw people there. The road was a little more tough to get into it though than it appears now.

I agree with the bear scat comment - they like to poop everywhere! If you're not seeing it around the campsite anywhere, I'd conclude that at least they're not hanging out.Great "making do" without the regular camping equipment. I got to cowboy camp with a friend last summer, when her tent pole broke and it was super windy. We just bundled up in our bags on the ground in Montana. Had a great night of sleep! Glad to see another video on your channel!

I think we used to camp that spot on the access when we were little kids. I remember there being leeches and then like 10 feet out of from shore it was a straight drop so always had to be careful. Super cool video! Also, I remember terrible storms there as a kid.

Very Cool bug dope!! Thanks for sharing your trips!! Have not had to wear any yet this year. Lots of wind and dragon flies and the Thermacell Radius

first time i have seen you share a canoe with someone

A lot of forgetfulness on this trip.Nice to see some traditional tandem paddling

You MUST show me that finger-snap tent set up trick! Nice looking site and fabulous job on the tent jury-rig.

So happy to see you have a video up Christina , Hi there Jenny .What a nice spot with some shelter in the tree's love it !. Nice job on setting up your tent Jenny.! I know bear flip rocks & move logs looking for bugs , Id ask is there any bear scat around the camp area. if not probably not a bear if no tracks or scat from what i've notice on crown. lol interesting start things happen eh

Wow, Tuesday just got a lot better. Here we gooooo. Thanks so much.

Thanks for that chair hack.

I followed your suggestion and bought the Dollarama four dollar headnet. Much cheaper than my Sea To Summit version. I'll treat it tenderly for long term usability. I never used a head net in my younger days and Pickle Lake was the worst I ever had it, partly because it rained all through the summer. Now that I'm older I'm anxious to take advantage of anything that will make life easier.

Have you heard of grayl water purifier? There great

Thanks!

Another great video Christina! Thank you!! Brilliant to spit your toothpaste into your garbage bag!! For bug bites, I find that Benadryl ointment really helps reduce the swelling and itching. Have you tried it? It’s a bit pricey, but totally worth it, for me anyway. Thanks for all the work you do to share your wonderful trips with us!!

Thanks!

Thanks! I love your videos. Thanks for all the work you put into getting out and filming. I know it isn't easy to do and just wanted to let you know that it is appreciated.

Looks like some beautiful weather, but between the bugs in the air, and the “bugs” in the water, God bless you. I hope that you continue to feel better, thanks for sharing, be well my friend.

Absolutely love your videos. Your videos inspire me to pursue my dreams of the outdoors. On a side note, do you sell any merchandise/stickers of your channel?

Can't really portage but the lake looks fished out.

... Nature Heals .... Thanks for sharing your outing ,, looks SO awesome ....

I I am at a campsite at Wisconsin Dells and all I hear is the freeway I found a historical site and Museum and some DNR land for natural beauty but boy is it touristy so I'm watching you

black flies..... and those big flies with the psychedelic eyes? No thanks.

Ugh…Giardia 🤢 Hope you are on the road to recovery and planning your next trip! Thanks for showing the other sites, I had been thinking about that island one.

Yes but were they cheese filled sausages 😉! I love those Vachon caramels, had them in my lunches as a kid! Thanks for the video, editing etc with the awful bugs. Was in Killarney just before long weekend and black flies worse I’ve ever seen🦟

I wonder if the stuff you spray your clothes with causes the migraines?

Very enjoyable video. I like seeing the campsites. They're all finer than what I have. Unfortunate about the Giardia. I'm religiously using my water filter these years but in my earlier days I used to drink water straight out of the lake, never had any problems, luckily. And when I worked with canoes doing timber cruising in the Pickle Lake area no one ever talked of filtering water. Also, I watch Russian back country videos. I've never seen anybody use a water filter. Never seen anybody hang up a bear bag either. Of course I am not promoting unsafe practices, just saying that bush practices have seen many changes. Thanks for your video and stay safe.

Hot chocolate would keep me up half the night 🥺

Looks like some beautiful weather, I hope the wind stays going to help keep those bugs away. Thanks for sharing, I look forward to part three. Be well my friend.

Shugemery channel uses the portable mosquito repeller by Thermacell. I use the table version and I can attest NOTHING works as well as Thermacell. Also a strip of duct tape inside tent captures many bugs that get in.

where did you buy your camera?

Beautiful opening shots.

That’s too bad you had to switch plans but you still had a nice trip! but then giardia! oh no!! bad luck, Hope you feel better and the bites have healed Thanks Christina 😊

The moon sparkling on the water looked so pretty!!! Looked like a fun relaxing trip. Sorry you got sick afterwards...hopefully you are feeling better now. See you on the next one!!

I like your site that you have compared to the other ones. That really sucks that you got sick and also about the migraine. Looking forward to the next one and hope all is well with you and no more sickness❤️🏕

I absolutely love your videos …. Thank you for sharing! 🏕️

Not very busy on Kiosk

You have some really pretty lakes there in Canada!!

Super sweet! Love it!

Thanks for sharing. I camped on Kiosk with a friend the first weekend in May. We tried to find the camp site you stayed at with your friend Shelly, but due to the high water levels we paddled right by it. We stayed on a site south of the access point on a peninsula with a view of two islands. The outfitter told us that site had a really nice beach.

So beautiful ❤

Exploring and relaxing are my two favourite things to do in the backcountry, Looks like a great trip, (except the guardia stuff)

Gotta love black flies! Good looking dessert! TY😊

Looks like another successful trip!

Nice series Christina, The meals you make always look so very tasty love the look of that pizza Yum. always great videography on your trips.. thanks for all you do to make the videos .

Pretty area and lake those black flies will defiantly drive one insane Love your camp spot, your so fortunate to have the bug shelter Have to get me one . I always have those caramel cake things and jolly ranchers when i camp as well have to love em, looks like you had a good start to this adventure weather wise Just those darn bugs .

Kiosk is an awesome area. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip.

In case anyone thinks they are only checking permits on the AP lakes that allow motor boats, think again... the rangers are also out in canoes, checking permits on all the lakes :)

Last August my wife and I spent a night on the rocky site which I think is directly south across the lake from where you were. Huge chunk of granite shield. Steep access, but a great site that has both east and west views. It is a beautiful lake when calm, but when the wind blows up it's a fight to cross. Thanks for the video. Really sorry to hear about the water issues. 😔

Thanks!
