Algonquin Park, Western Uplands backpacking Trail, September 2022

[@ISashaI]

I have a lot of good memories on that trail. 4 days is impressive

[@Kawartha65]

Thanks for taking us along. Can’t get in that deep anymore with the old bum knee. Excellent choice of music as well.👍

[@iCanoe_]

Looked like a beauty solo trip. Also... very well shot with the action cam. Thanks for taking us along. Cheers!

[@Martin_G]

Thank you!

Great video, love to see the UL mindset and some proper PCT hangs.

[@mikeburns9151]

very nice sir~~~glad you got out

[@johnwilson6954]

An excellent video Martin! Very much enjoyed. Too bad about the rain, but you endured it like a champ!😉

[@Martin_G]

Thanks very much John!

[@jeffgriffiths5945]

great video Martin

[@Martin_G]

Thanks Jeff!

Are those Hoka Speedgoat Mid 2 GTX you are wearing? How did they hold up on the trail!

[@Martin_G]

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.

[@melanie3400]

Great video. Question: what was your trail route? ie: which lake did you stay at night 1?

[@Martin_G]

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.

[@rajs7919]

Just did this trail with my buddy. We hiked from west gate to Clara lake campsite. Longest day of our lives 😂

[@Martin_G]

Killer day! In the heat too

[@cassean]

That's not Garster's Dream playing in the opening is it?

[@Martin_G]

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

[@cassean]

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

[@Paddlerunner]

Martin! Been too long since a new video from you has popped up on my feed. This is fantastic! Two questions: 1) Do my eyes deceive me or are those Crocs I see clipped to your pack? Bahahahaha! 2) What kind of pack is that? I'm thinking of taking the plunge on an ultralight.

[@Martin_G]

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!! 😆😆😆

[@Martin_G]

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

[@Paddlerunner]

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

[@Paddlerunner]

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