I’m a recent subscriber as well as a seasoned canoeist in the Algonquin park. I’m currently recovering from reconstructive ankle surgery and enjoying your adventures to some of the area I’ve visited . I’m getting on in years (70) but still hope to visit again with my grandchildren, it is a special place. The fishing there is challenging, I had success after some local knowledge to use salted minnows with minnow rigging. Continued success and good health !

Tip! Fish upstream Because the current is what brings food to all fish species in a river system, they always hold with their noses facing up current. Therefore, it's hugely important to fish in current by casting upstream and retrieving your bait with the current. 1:14:03

What an epic journey here!! Holy cow!! You captured everything so well!! The loons, the buzzing of the black flies, everything!! I guess I’m always surprised to see more people in tents than hammocks at Algonquin. I’ve camped in so many campgrounds that you paddle into or drive to and the tent pad becomes a frog pond after any decent storm. That was why I switched back to hammocks, especially in backcountry. I went on that solo trip last weekend and it was good I brought a hammock system cuz it probably rained about 4” up there over the weekend. There was a small stream flowing underneath my hammock late last Saturday night!🤣. Good stuff here man!! Thank you for taking us along!!!

I’ve camped on that exact site on Little Trout Lake. It’s a long haul down the length of Ralph Bice, but worth it. There’s a site at the far end of Little Trout Lake, past the portage, that is apparently a beach site - on my list to visit. Good video. I’m off to Killarney next week - hopefully the bugs will be thinning out (unlikely though). Cheers.

Another great video. Enjoyed it al lot, thanks for that 🍻 I’m ordering a Prospecteur 15 of my own for solo use here in Australia (in olive with wood trim) at the moment. It’s been good to watch you put one through its paces, seems ideal for my purposes. First time I’ve seen one with the second seat removed. Looks like it really opens the boat up for storage. Thinking I’ll be doing that with mine when it comes 🤔

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video Scott! That’s a beautiful colour and trim combo for your Prospecteur! Olive green is my favourite colour. If you will be primarily using it solo, removing the front seat allows you to trim the boat really well by giving you room to put your pack up front. I definitely recommend it. Enjoy your new canoe!

Everyone associates the Loon to Portaging, which is awesome, but I feel that white-throated sparrow is just as much a part of Ontario portaging. Great looking trip Kev. I just finished a 5 day in there to big trout, and nobody in there. The birds were the highlight of this one in breeding season. And multiple moose sightings in June. Just tough out the bugs for a bit and perfection. You stayed at the big trout site I just stayed at. I stayed there because i came from white trout lake( not small) in high winds and was happy to just get there in tact and fearful of moving out onto big trout in those winds. I commenting(edit) as I watch...that section in grassy bay was so windy when i came through that i barely paddled. I just dug in the paddle like a rudder and hoped i made the bends...not even enough time to pull out the camera as 3 moose were in there!! There was a campsite there(first one west to east) that I thought would be a spectacular site to stay at overlooking those wetlands...but not when I was there without a bug shelter, more so early spring. u gotta bring powdered protein.

Thanks Jay. I'm sure you'll spot some on your next trip. Regarding the new boat - yes it is a huge trade off. If I was only planning on tripping in Algonquin I definitely would have kept the Swift. Double carrying is a lot more work - and really slows me down. That said, I'm really enjoying the Esquif and I will need its toughness on some future trips.

Excellent video! Plan on entering northern Quetico Sept. 1st for my first 10-day solo. Learn so much from watching your video. Couple questions on your cooking. I am using a combination of campfire and the little jet boil tank like yours. How long does one last? Are 2 small tanks like yours enough to take on a 10-day trip when I'll be mainly boiling water for coffee and dehydrated foods and cooking fish? Also, what do you use for oil to fry fish and how much do you generally take? Also, just curious I noticed you are switching from a double kayak to a single wooden paddle. I'm thinking you might be using the double paddle to cover more open water. Also, what length of kayak paddle are you using? I have a 250-centimeter double kayak paddle I may take not sure if it will be long enough?? Thanks so much for any info!
@kevinthewild
@kevinthewild 4 ай бұрын
Hey Kyle! Regarding the fuel, I use 200g canisters. I think two of those should be sufficient to get you through a 10 day trip, as long as you are not wasteful and you block the wind to boil more efficiently. When it's windy, l use my foam pad as a wind block. I cook with olive oil simply because it's healthier. In an emergency, you can add the oil to your meal or even drink it for extra calories. Hope you have a blast on your trip!

Nice trip Kev. Thanks. How are you liking the Esquif over your Swift? - not so much the brand but the material and the difference in weight and handling. Iw as thinking of getting a canoe in a tougher lay op but nor sure if I want to deal with the extra weight. Pros and cons I guess.
@kevinthewild
@kevinthewild 4 ай бұрын
I really enjoy the stability, volume and toughness of the Esquif. Even though it's stable it's also fairly maneuverable with a decent amount of rocker. It's a great do-it-all solo expedition canoe. It's slower and much heavier than a dedicated solo kevlar boat, but if you only want to own one canoe for a mix of whitewater and lake travel, I don't think there is a better choice.

Great video and seemed like a great trip. I have two questions for you Kev. One is how long does it take you to do a 1K average portage with a double carry? It takes me approx 1 hr to do the 3 km total but not sure if this is normal. Did that 1.7km portage seem ok with that new heavy canoe you have or make you wish you had the old lighter one. I am so close to pulling the trigger and getting the same one. Keep these great inspirational videos coming

Hey Cliff. I’m honestly not quite sure how long a 1k portage now takes me with a double carry - but the difference feels significant. It is 3 times the distance after all. You definitely have to give yourself more time when planning a trip. This was an easy trip compared to past ones, so it wasn’t an issue and I really do enjoy the walk back for the second load.

That’s amazing! So glad to hear that! I’ve used several different cameras and setups. Sony mirrorless cameras like an A7C. Definitely not necessary to film a canoe trip. The device I used on this video is a gimbal. It stabilizes the camera but I found it too bulky and cumbersome. I have since sold it.

What length and brand of canoe do you use? Looking at getting a lightweight canoe for wife and I and dog. Envious of your camping spots. I really enjoy your videos!!

Hey Scott. This canoe is an Esquif Prospecteur 15'. It's made in T-Formex, which is an expedition / whitewater layup. It weighs 60 lbs. If you are looking for a lightweight canoe, Kevlar is the way to go.

Like the traditional paddling and canoe . But you're a bit shy on the fishing .On a remote trip as this just got to get more fish . But watching a lot of youtube canoers their technique is not good .At least not mine . I'm figuring the bigger lakes were not warm enough for the specks but a laker or two can still be caught .I also use a 15 ' bob special which i think is a better canoe .

I'm very much an amateur when it comes to fishing, so I've got a lot to learn. I also slept in late every single day on this trip, so I was often fishing mid-day which is not ideal lol. Yeah the Bob special seems like a great canoe, but I'm going to be happy to have the extra volume and durability of my Esquif P15 for an upcoming trip.

@@kevinthewild My bob is suited to Algonquin where there is less whitewater . But at 38 lbs it's easy to portage. But even as a UL its pretty durable. Has a DOT of 800 lbs so it can carry some load . Never found early morning good for specks .If i'm up yeah i'll go out for a troll. But its normally pushing 10 am before i'm on the water .

It's the revised bugaboo pan from GSI - it now comes with a ceramic coating instead of Teflon. I'm very impressed with it so far - haven't put it in a campfire yet though.
