[@josephallen19]

Looks like you boys had fun! super jealous of the northern lights sighting :)

[@RobbyHuang]

JoeRobinetBushcraft man it was sooo lucky! Literally only lasted for like five minutes after we first spotted it. Crazy that we got that lucky!

[@tiburonimbus]

I'm so jealous that you got to see it! A few months back, I spent 7 days in Iceland, and it was too cloudy every night to see it... my only goal was to see it!

[@AdventureArchives]

That's how it was when I went to Alaska as a kid. So glad i finally got to see it. I'm sure you will soon, too! -Andrew

[@ericostlie6487]

@JoeRobinetBushcraft I have been watching you for about two years now. It is cool and funny to see that you are checking out these guys perspective on that area since you have already been there many times.

[@natersthegamer1953]

Haha funny seeing you here! Just got finished with one of your videos!

[@TheWhitePine5]

If You're ever in Ontario, Killarney is another nice park, very unique scenery!

[@user-hg9sr6jb3j]

You are so right! I've stayed at Killarney Lodge several times, and camped at several locations in the Park. Rock Lake, Mew Lake are my two favorites. The trails are awesome, and there's nothing like that soft water up there...🥰❤!!

[@doubletimefun]

I’ve camped in Algonquin 10+ times and have never seen the Northern Lights. You guys are super lucky!

[@sonajero25]

it s this kind of contents that makes youtube worth existing.

[@ScrambledO]

EPIC. I loved Canada when i went up there... a completely different feel than down here.

[@AdventureArchives]

Definitely! It's super nice to be in a different landscape for a while.

[@toddofalltrades4788]

Where in the heck have you gone Mr. O? I miss your videos so...

[@kekoamaunakea4473]

Scrambled O Hey scrambled Ooo don’t be bad mouthing America sucka!!! Lol!! Just yoking buddy I’m holding my breath because your big comeback is eminent. 🎙💨You needed the newlyweds wifey time, cat time, building time, Ohana time etc, etc!!!! ML&ALOHA your boy Kekoa (Just rousing you Homeboy style from the hood)✨🏚🏘🌖✨

[@GITMachine]

3:35 "Even the excitement is very...peaceful" Pretty much describes Canada entirely :)

[@AdventureArchives]

Haha, something to be proud of! -Andrew

[@mlax07]

This video is so good, it could be episode #1 of a TV series. I wish you guys would get the attention of the right person who can make that happen. The videography and music selection is superb. The camaraderie between you is heartwarming - everyone wishes they could have close friends like that. And the subtle naivety makes one feel like you are a part of the group, experiencing it for the first time right along with you. How lucky you were to see the northern lights, but unlucky (maybe) for not running into the numerous bears the habitat the area. You embarked on a route I know well, which made your journey even more enjoyable. Best luck guys.

[@DanVas]

Sick video, one of my favourite places on Earth. The amount of sunny days I spent with buddies just screwing around on Burnt Island... Can't wait to go back. There's 1 campsite on that lake that beats all, and nobody even knows its a campsite. I'll probably vlog it soon.

[@AQUPAS]

What an adventure, by far my favorite to date, Ontario is a special place.

[@fasanotampa]

This is clearly the best site on KZbin if you like hiking and camping. Your video editing is on a professional level. This video, for example, could air on Discovery or Travel Channel with NO ADDITIONAL EDITING. That is just how good this is.

[@illmanrabble]

you guys, theoutdoorgearreview, and joe Robinette are the best!

[@mattg2935]

Agreed, Shug too.

[@AdventureArchives]

Yeah, all those guys are great! Honored to be ranked among them :)

[@ISashaI]

I'm lucky to live 3hrs from Algonquin. Happy you guys had a great experience. It truly is a magical place.

[@scottdunbar4898]

Absolutely stunning! Words elude me guys. Thank you SO much for all the work and talent that went into making this.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting - makes the work all worth it! So glad you enjoyed it :) -Andrew

[@GreybeardtheSurvivor]

I've watched 3 episodes in 2 days. And while my leg hasn't healed yet, my spirit has. Thank you.

[@TheCampingCanuck]

KZbin recommended finally got it right. This is great!

[@danr9028]

I spent a week canoeing in Algonquin back in the early 1970s. I was around your ages then. I enjoyed the sights and sounds of your Utube video. My memories are of the aurora borealis and the portage of canoes and gear . I went in August and I guess the Northern Lights were farther south than year for some reason. God Bless you.

[@aliciamott1396]

I watch this over wand over !!!! Just beautiful, I especially love when y’all see the northern lights, and at the end , sitting around the campfire eating stew , y’all are all sunburned, and look so good and healthy and genuinely HAPPY , and I love this video ! Love to hear Thomas whistle, and I wish he’d sing , oh POLLY again something 🍒🌺🍒💜💜😎🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄😎💜🍒🌺

[@KalinCorvidae]

I just got the most epic north face ad. I'm glad they know who's watching your videos.

[@AdventureArchives]

Haha, that's good to know! Sorry for the late response dawg, but thanks for watching! -Andrew

[@lucasvanlandschoot3429]

24:50-25:48 Absolutely magical, breathtaking... Amazing work. I've spent many a night in Algonquin and have yet to see the Northern lights, consider yourselves blessed!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much! We were definitely super thankful that we got to see the northern lights. It was funny too, because we were hoping to get to camp before dark, but it ended up working out for us really well, haha. Cheers, and thanks for watching! -Andrew

[@rachellsn1791]

I love this episode because it’s so different! It’s such a beautiful thing you guys do, sharing your journeys with us and putting into such a great work of art. Thank you!!!!

[@_Smash_]

Your shows are some of the best on youtube. keep doing what you're doing!

[@beckerization]

As a fellow canoe tripper and backpacker, I enjoy the itineraries of your videos, the information and philosophical banter, the production quality of your videos, the gear lists, and commitment to adventuring. I share your videos with others, especially my adult kids, as tinder to spark a desire to get outdoors. As we say in Pittsburgh, "Yinz guys are awesome!"

[@MarkDouglasOutside]

Even though you have a lot more videos since this was released, this is the one rewatch the most. It is the water, location and all four of you are in the video that makes it entertaining.

[@bensmylie406]

It's crazy for me to watch this because I have been to half the parts of this video and it brings back so many memories

[@terizumbusch8408]

😮 That night trip across the lake was absolutely glorious, I'm with Bryan absolutely incredible. Oh my gosh shouldn't absolute joy. I love the stars and the northern lights are number At the top of my bucket list oh my gosh that was wonderful. Blessings!

[@ivanrazumov8490]

The best part of Canada is that if you drive a couple of hours its like a whole new world, absolute different scenery, different trees, different lakes, different everything. I am so lucky to live in the #1 country in the world 🌲🌿🌳🌱

[@darryllawler2777]

HUGE bump in production value with this video. The evolution and growth of your talents is most evident with this video. Don't lose this momentum. From the great musical updates to the addition of aerial shots using Robby's drone. All of it really adds to he overall impeccable quality of the viewing experience. Thank you for all that you guys contribute. Keep the drive alive!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so, so much for your kind words! Hopefully we can keep it up, haha. Thanks so much for watching! Cheers :) -Andrew

[@Mofo7250]

By far my favorite adventure archive video.

[@vvgmhod4]

Stunning. The patience and skill required to document such a trip is impressive.

[@Alton96]

This reminds me of our trips out of Achray, in the northern section. We would canoe Grand Lake, Stratton Lake, High Falls Lake, Ooze Lake, to Opalescent Lake. We would come back via St Andrews which have sandy beaches on one side and cliffs on the eastern side. If you plan it right, come through there on a full moon, and the wolves on the cliffs would be howling! Thanks for the video and the memories.

[@AdventureArchives]

Sounds like an unbelievable time! I'm definitely going to have to head back there sometime and see if I can hear wolves. Thank you so much for watching! -Andrew

[@pranavk324]

It's 3rd time I'm watching algonquin video.each time im enjoying it more and more.how could Someone catch this much beauty...? canoeing wasn't much interested to me, but now I'm added it to my bucket list.Now I'm suggesting my friends at least watch one video of yours,cause that will lead them to your whole episodes.The messages & music were remarkable. After watching your videos one can't simply sit in 4 concrete walls , calling it's home. Thank you guys for inspiring us .waiting for more💓💓👍

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so, so much for your kind words! And thank you for sharing ;) Canoeing is definitely something worth trying - it's such a relaxing experience. So glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching! -Andrew

[@malwads1836]

I thoroughly enjoy the lovely sights obviously, especially the beautiful northern lights....But those little philosophical moments where you think about the bigger picture really enrich the entire experience🌌🌠.

[@Wolfsonchik]

Reviewing this piece of art at the third time... One of the best your archives, guys. Astonishingly peaceful enjoyment.

[@Arthur-Silva]

The quality of your images is unbelievable. Thanks for sharing such good work.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much! Glad you like the video, we're happy to share it :) Cheers! -Andrew

[@pggiri4761]

You guys are rocking . underrated KZbin channel on the planet. Come to Nepal .

[@arrow-lo7jf]

I love Algonquin park, It is one of the most beautiful places on earth , that sky and quite, nothing compares. Nice job guys.

[@dchurch3399]

I have been on those lakes and creeks many times. Never gets old

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

One of the things I love about the beginning of your video adventures is seeing that green Subaru! I work at the Subaru plant in Indiana. We travel in a Crosstrek, great adventure cars.

[@AdventureArchives]

+Slone's Wilderness Expeditions lol, that good ole subaru

[@chrisoutdoors]

Nice video! Algonquin Park is so beautiful

[@ellab.681]

This such a beautiful adventure, and the friendship you had with each other is so beautiful to watch! Northern lights!!! ✨👑

[@musicisbrilliant]

THE MASTERS did it again!!!!! So cool you got to see the northern lights!! You deserve it!!!!!! Im IN LOVE with you guys. Haha, was that too far??? I will be a fan until you guys are all 100 years old with walkers and wheelchairs puttering through the woods. :) You each have such great personalities. Keep rockin'.

[@AdventureArchives]

Haha, thank you so much! We definitely got lucky :) It's always super great and encouraging to see your comments, and thanks so much for watching! -Andrew

[@roedwards0203]

CONGRATULATIONS Doug and Joe, great video Doug, can't wait to see Joe's version. Keep up the great work.

[@margaretleehightower3073]

That literally made me emotional and brought tears to my eyes……when all of the sudden you were gifted to see the Northern Lights!!!!!

[@modularoutput]

I watched this a few weeks ago. I now have a backpacking setup, and we are canoeing Algonquin in late May. 'nuff said!

[@Rusty-gp1gx]

Your videos are amazing.. my father and I did this back in 99 and watching this is brings back so many memories Keep up the great work!!

[@XpRnz]

Man what a trip, great weather and sights and to top it off.. the aurora borealis! You guys live the life.

[@SethPearson748]

Honestly don't' know how you guys aren't better known, I'll be sharing for sure!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much for the kind words, and thank you for sharing! It means a lot to us :) -Andrew

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

GOD BLESS YOU'LL ALWAYS! ENJOYED VERY MUCH!

[@dianeotten6169]

Stunning! What a beautiful trip. Your last morning was absolutely magical, with you shrouded in fog. Your commentary is so meditative too. Thanks!

[@steffyincan]

What a fantastic video. I really enjoyed it. Thanks.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. It was a really incredible trip, and i'm glad we got to share it with everyone. Cheers! -Andrew

[@muhktarb3282]

Best video yet. Cant wait for the next one.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much!! Me responding to this comment 3 months late means I can tell you that we've got 2 more episodes out! Haha -Andrew

[@ross6334]

This video beats anything I would've watched on tv or Netflix. Thanks guys, you've gained a subscriber!

[@yanggao4639]

Incredible!!!

[@delaguiar]

That second dinner 👌🏻👌🏻That stew and 4 friends just enjoying a beautiful dinner and conversation. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ivanvalentino5967]

Every time I watch your video is just so beautiful and inspiring.

[@Kathy_Is_Blessed]

Loved this one! I’ve seen Bushcraft-type video guys camp and fish here and it I always great! But I can’t explain how much I enjoyed you 4 guys paddling around and camping and lighting fires with ferro-rods and enjoying being there in Algonquin Park. Just fantastic!!

[@tombeckett4340]

You guys will remember this little trip for a long time.👍🇨🇦 Cheers guys thanks.

[@nicholashughes6098]

Way better than tv

[@priscellaqua6079]

BRILLIANT!!! Love the footage. Thank you so much for posting!!! I stumbled upon this video by accident looking for new ways to enjoy my city/province (Toronto, Ontario) via kayak. I've been to Algonquin Park more times than I can remember but your video made it all feel new to me. Thank you so much. I can't wait to see more. Keep more videos coming (Canada if possible) please and thank you.

[@DadGuide]

I did a very similar trip a few years ago. Such an amazing experience, great job capturing it!

[@suttoncoldfieldwildcamping9890]

Guys please keep these vids coming, beautiful work chaps! You need to be on mainstream tv with your own show. We love you in england and need more of you! Fantastic family viewing ✌🏻️✌🏻️

[@AdventureArchives]

We'll definitely keep them coming :) Thank you so much for the high compliments, and so glad you like it! Hopefully we can travel to England some day and film an episode there! Cheers! -Andrew

[@bean560]

great work on the channel guys it is much appreciated and the quality really comes through

[@CATDABOSS]

I like the conversion to metric, a little touch that made it feel all the more authentic.

[@CATDABOSS]

and this whole trip reminds me of my week in the Boundary Waters, we did 62 miles in 6 days! Man was it rough, we had a 3/4 mile portage one day. Lucky with the kevlar canoe, aluminium weighs a lot more.

[@rryannnnn]

omg so many amazing things to say hahaha first of all, ty for always sharing the deeper moments and evening conversations.. yall are so wise and very spot on. second, what an amazing segment to thank the patrons haha and in comparison to the flavors haha that was priceless. well done and I see what you did there :)

[@hannahchristie5602]

The last time I paddles these lakes it was raining so hard I could barely see. Even still, it was one of my favourite trips. Canoe, Joe, and Burnt Island are such nice lakes as they are well travelled and maintained

[@GRiNDZoMBi]

This looks like the most beautiful place and best trip ever! I wish I had a group of friends like this :(

[@robindixon5558]

this was a great episode! I love it when you all take a break from the traditional backpacking vids. I love those, too, but I'm glad you're keeping it fresh!

[@gilmarbeta]

Man! This is just beautiful. And the Northern lights! Just amazing!

[@AdventureArchives]

So glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching! :)

[@jasong2814]

Yes! Best thing I could ask for on Halloween!

[@AdventureArchives]

:D

[@Dovid2000]

Very beautiful scenery, as always!

[@82pixels]

Wonderful shots and video, never stop to make this adventures!

[@AdventureArchives]

[@williambeck6364]

LOVED THIS! Thank You, guys.

[@minecraft360news]

One of the best episodes in awhile. Great job guys!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you! Man, I'm rewatching it now, and we got super lucky with how so many cool things happened. Like the aurora borealis, that incredible fog. It was an amazing trip. -Robby

[@shawns57garage]

Great journey boys ! Glad you took me along the way 👍👌👊☝️

[@myhollowtips]

You guys really captured Algonquin at its finest! Conditions were perfect, and your shots and editing were incredible.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Haha yeah, a lot of the credit really goes to nature. We got really lucky with the northern lights and that foggy morning. Cheers! -Andrew

[@jamesconey8815]

What another great video. Every place you guys go I put that on my bucket list. Thanks.

[@JonHickley]

Fantastic film again. Inspiring me to go camping and canoeing. Would love to visit this park one day, so thanks for sharing your trip so well, let’s me see it when it’s not possible for me right now.

[@scottfoster8115]

Man! i loved this video. I am taking my 4 year old daughter camping in a few weeks! Taking it easy on her first time and staying in tea lake campground this year, just off of canoe lake but I hope in the near future we can back-country in Algonquin. I am so fortunate to live only 2 hours away in Barrie, ON from the most amazing park in the world. If you ever come to Algonquin again, stop by.... maybe I'll come along! Thanks boys!

[@paul4866]

This is phenomenal!

[@christopherblomeley6925]

Bless you guys, you actually found something!

[@autumn007]

Another wonderfully made video!!!! Love it!! been binge watching the videos all day today. 😊

[@tysonbelko4358]

Glad I finally got to watch the rest of this one, haha. I was up in Algonquin last summer for a canoe trip too, spent about a week up there. Good to see you guys all had a fun time!!

[@pennyfelicityswildadventures]

Fond memories of visiting Ontario as a boy. Thanks for the nostalgia.

[@decentdiversions]

Great video! So neat to see Algonquin through the eyes of an experienced but first-time visitor. Northern Lights too!

[@roehrigpeter1973]

That's so great, thanks for sharing. I miss the Park dreadfully.

[@cischapen552]

Inspiring video, give thanks for you all

[@TheCampingCanuck]

[@RaymondMenapace]

Beautiful work and stunning visuals!

[@jacobwise8168]

Yes! I smile every time I see a new video out by you guys. Really inspirational. Makes me want to get out there.

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much! Fall's a great time to get out :) Enjoy!

[@jacobwise8168]

You saw the northern lights? I'm so envious.
