@@minmin810826 I drive a Civic and wouldn't take it down that road.

It's not that bad. I would take a regular car. Just go easy. Been on many roads like that.

Thank you!

Thanks! Maybe not always the best lines but we kept it upright :)

Thank you!

@@Martin_G Also, your fantastic sound tracks are a revelation!

Yes sir she is a rockstar! Thanks for the follow!

Thank you! I just rewatched my own video. LOL kinda want to do it again 😅

Hahaha me too! There is something very satisfying about completing the whole link! It’s great to have the footage as a keep sake to watch later on.

I'd paddle it again too!

May I ask you a few questions? 1. How many days did it take? 2. How many people were with you? 3. Do you think a single canoe with only 2 people (couple going with no group) is ill advisable? Thanks!

@@TanyaBucci 12 days starting at the community of Missanabie to the town of Mattice. We took our time. 4 of us. I couldn't recommend you do or don't do it in one canoe. The safest number is 3 canoes. On the other hand I personally wouldnt hesitate to do it solo. Only you can answer that.

9 days for 205 km 2 solo kayaks and soloed in 15 foot canoe

@@TanyaBucci Not sure where you plan to start. Our route was 265km from Missanabie to Mattice. Most people choose to start at Missinabi PP. Or Peterbell siding.

I think the Coastal trail is more challenging than LaCloche. Half the trail is on irregular shaped rocks which can be hard on your feet and ankles. Kind of like the Pig portage but for a couple of dozen kilometres. And the rougher portions of the Coastal trail are much rougher than LaCloche. But for the average hiker it is not crazy difficult.

Thanks.

I've done both wet cold weather and coastal was much more difficult! the wet rocks sometime slimy made it very challenging.... both have great scenery ... tuff 20km days, trail is at time not well marked not heavily travelled compared to La cloche!

Yes, it wasn't exactly text book.

Haha it was great to meet you. Turned a long day into a good day!

Yes, lots more rapids and lots more fish on the upper!

He needs space for all the rocks he is bringing home as souvenirs.

Arrrgh! Broken ankles are the worst! And you didn't even get a free boat ride. Hope it mends well.

Thanks J!

Thanks Chris it was breathtaking!

Killer day! In the heat too

Speedgoat 4 GTX. They are very comfy. Maybe a little bit detached from the terrain. But fine for dirt trails. A little warm in the summer.

Thanks, I know. A Fallfish is a Chubb. Basically a big Minnow.

Thanks! I did the perimeter loop starting from Hwy 60. Stayed at Maggie Lake, Clara Lake and Browns Lake. I was supposed to stay a 4th night on Thunder Lake. Because of the rain I changed my mind and hiked all the way out. I don't recommend this. Made for a Loong day.

12 days

No, 13 days. But we finished at 9 in the morning on our 13th day.

😆

Thanks Jeff!

Thanks very much John!

Hahahaha I have you to thank for that. Seriously! After those comments we went back and forth on, I sought out Crocs to see what the fuss was. Now I have 2 pair!! 😆😆😆

Gossamer Gear G4-20. I love it. Not super ultralight but light enough and very comfortable.

@@Martin_G too funny my friend . . . And you’re welcome!! 😂😊

@@Martin_G thanks!! I’ve got to get out there and explore those backpacking trails! Just looks way too nice.

No not at the beginning. Garster Dream kicks in at 25:00 LOL

@@Martin_G Aye, for some reason I skipped to the end first.

Thank you very much Don!

You might already know this but the video for Battlefords is filmed in the little communities on the west side of Algonquin park.

on Greenleaf lake

It was a very Moosey trip. Saw 2 on the drive up and 13 on the trip! Thanks for letting me know about the pictures.I just looked and see I have a bunch of pictures on Google Maps. I don't actually know how they go there? LOL

@@Martin_G damn 15 that's incredible actually. Do you own a google phone maybe? not sure why they would be on maps other than if you edited google maps yourself.

@@NatureBound None of those pics came from a phone. And they are 8-10 years old. I think they came from an old website called Panoramio that Google must have bought.

Thanks for watching!

LOL! I just don't put as much time and thought into my videos as you put into yours. Yours are a whole different League. We also got very lucky and it mostly rained in the evenings and at night. You probably took all the same ports as us. McArthur Chute, Distress Dam, McBrien Rapids.

How so?

@@Martin_G well Martin on our trips north of Lake Superior we made our own Portages and some were well over 3 miles of bush wacking. We would loose over 25 lbs of body weight. Our trips were well over 100 miles and some were over 200 miles. And days on Lk Superior. But man you were fit as a fiddle after our trips. We all worked for CP rail at that time. That was handy because we got into rivers that nobody else got into unless they fly in . I’m sure that’s not your type of trip with all the different difficulty we had to deal with and the black fly’s and the bears and wolves. It separates the men from the boys but great memories. This was 50 years ago when all our gear was heavy. Not like today’s gear . That’s what I meant.

@@tombeckett4340 Sounds amazing! I have done a few trips north of Superior including one in the North West Territories. All were much longer than 100 miles. But nothing as grueling as yours sound. Mine were on established routes that go back hundreds of years. While there was the occasional rough spot or bushwhack through an abondoned/burned out area they weren't serious. Sounds like you have some incredible memories!

@@Martin_G Hi Martin I often go back and look at some of the slides and remember of all 6 lbs speckled trout a picks and lake trout. Great memories. And my Wife and I spent our honeymoon on the Slate islands just her and me and 600 Caribou. Many years ago. We also loved the Yukon. We almost moved there sometimes I kick myself. But you know the grass always looks greener on the other side. Thanks and nice talking to you. Tom

Thanks Kevin! I feel fortunate we got to share this great summer day on the Mad.
